Chapter 4 - In-ho

POV: In-ho

I sat on my bed. I'm not hungry. We'll get food soon... but I don't feel like eating. I feel overwhelmed.

Gi-hun sat next to me with his food

- hey, why aren't you eating? - he asked me. I looked into his eyes

- I'm just not hungry.. at all - I replied with a hint of lie in my voice.

- I see that you're not.. c'mon, eat something - He put a piece of egg on his fork and put it to my lips. - Please, or you'll be starving later...

My cheeks turned slightly red, I felt warmth deep inside my heart. My breathing stopped for a moment. I looked into his eyes and blushed even more.

- Uh.. okay - I put the fork with the egg in my mouth and bit into it, swallowing it.

- See? You can eat without any problems... - He put a fork in my hands - eat.

I nooded my head and actually starting eating.

I saw him watching me. I liked it. Is that weird? My smile, which was fake most of the time, turned into a real one. That fucker was feeding me right now. I shouldn't feel anything for him except hatred... But his composed words, his gaze that makes it clear that he's the one, sweeps me off my feet. Have I fallen in fucking love? This can't be true.

- Thank you, Gi-hun - I put down the empty food container and wiped my mouth - I'm sorry that the second vote didn't go well

- It's okay... we'll get out of here - He sighed and scratched his neck. - I believe I can change their minds..

I giggled

- I'm sure you will. You're perfect.. I mean, You are the perfect leader! - I blushed with embarrassment. How could I say that? Oh God...

- Oh, really? Thank you.. you're so nice.

I'm not really nice. But thank you... - my voice was soft. That wasn't my style.

- What do you mean?.. Uh, just nevermind.. what do you think the next game is going to be? - His words sounded lifeless again.

- I don't know.. we'll see.

At that moment 222 and 390 approached us. They started talking to Gi-hun about the vote and the next game. I watched them silently.

"ugh... Why are they so close to HIM? I hate it. He deserves better person in his life.. like me. I'm the best one for him. NO-ONE ELSE"

- You okay? - asked me Gi-hun.

-Huh? - I snapped out of my strange fantasies, looked around and saw that I was holding Gi-Hun's hand.  - I'M SORRY

I stepped back. What the hell am I doing? Idiot, remember who you are. Frontman. The person that wants to destroy Gi-hun's life and snow him what people can do for money.

- Yeah... It's okay... - he whispered - Maybe you should rest a lil bit.. Either way, the lights will go out in 2 minutes

- Mhm! Yeah! - I lay down on my bed and covered myself with the blanket. The rest of the players did the same. The lights went out. I closed my eyes but I couldn't sleep again. There's something off. I've never had a problem sleeping. I feel my heart telling me I'm hiding a secret from myself. That's fucked up.

I sat up in bed and looked around. I looked at Gi-Hun, who was sitting on the bed just like the night before. I moved over to him and sat down next to him. Without asking, I covered him and myself with blanket, and laid us both down.

- Go to sleep.

- But-

- there's not but, Gi-hun. Go to sleep

-Uhm.. okay..?

He closed his eyes, and I did shortly after. I cuddled him and after a few minutes I was already asleep with him.
