Honey

I got up before In-ho the next morning. I went to quickly pull myself together and when I was ready, my beloved was just stretching after getting up.

-Good morning, sleepyhead- I greeted him.

"Someone is in a good mood today," he replied and kissed me on the cheek.

-We're finally going home, aren't we?!

-Who told you that? The game continues, the players decided to come back, because they couldn't cope at night anymore - he said, and my smile disappeared quickly when it appeared.

-How many have come back?

"95% surviving players," he said and poured himself a glass of whiskey and drank it all at once.

-I was already happy to come home- I said and the boy rubbed my shoulders.

-You will succeed with only 4 days left. The worst will be when the VIPs arrive.

"Comforting," I muttered and put on my Frontwoman outfit.

-And where are you going?- he asked, following me.

-Take a walk around the building- I replied without emotion and left my previous apartment.

-Scoot, wait for me, it's not safe here!- he shouted and out of the corner of my eye I saw that he was putting on his pants in a hurry and he fell over.

I left the part that belonged to me and In-ho. I remember that I had to go down the stairs in front of me and then I don't remember anything. When I was on the last step, my fiancé caught up with me, a bit out of breath and not fully dressed.

-Where is your mask?-I scolded him, then he quickly put it on and buttoned up his coat.

-I'm sorry, Mrs. Frontwoman- he replied, to which I laughed.

-I prefer, future Mrs. Hwang- I replied slyly, to which the man opened our masks and kissed me quickly, then we put them back on as we walked to the control room.

-What's the next game?- I asked, walking arm in arm with the man. His one step corresponded to three of mine.

"Dalgona," he replied and we entered the control room, "Good morning, soldiers," he greeted and the pink employees did the same and we stood in the middle. The floor below me showed pictures of players taking part in the game. And upstairs there were the cameras of the players' bedrooms, which after a while turned into cameras of some playroom or sandbox.

-Dalgona? Isn't it by any chance those cookies where you have to cut out the shape?

-Yes, American, these are honeycombs, to put it correctly - replied my Frontman, and the players positioned themselves according to the shape. There were four of them. A circle, a triangle, a star and an umbrella. Player 456, whom I supported the most, chose the most difficult one because it was an umbrella.

"Why did he take an umbrella, a triangle is easy," I moaned, and the man next to me grabbed my waist with one hand and brought me closer to him so I could lean against his body.

The players sat all over the square and began to cut out shapes. I saw the face of a broken 456 player. He let his allies choose their shapes and was left with an umbrella. Player 001 had a star, a black man had a circle, and a player I don't like had a threesome. Time flew by and players were more likely to drop out than win. No one was moved, except me. I had seen corpses too often and it scared me. I hid my masked face in the coat of my fiancé, who was still looking at the painting, but he was stroking my back, which calmed me down a bit, although I would have a nightmare anyway. There were the last minutes left, and players 001 and 456 were still sitting and playing in the honeycombs. The younger of them discovered the tactic that under the influence of saliva the cake dissolves and he used it as he succeeded. The rest of the players did the same as him, but not everyone made it. When the pink soldiers were about to shoot the last player, he put a gun to one of them, shouting that he would kill him if they did not let him go. He demanded that the mask be taken off, which he did, and the boy's face appeared, about 17 years old, I wonder if his parents know what he is doing. The triangle shot the player and the Frontman disappeared somewhere with several guards from the control room. I don't even know when he left me alone with strangers under masks. On the screens I saw how the pink soldiers who were guarding the game were getting out of the way of my man and the people behind him. Without any resistance, he took out his pistol and shot one of his guards.

-It's a punishment if you take off your mask- he said and left the room, while the others cleaned up after the "fun,,-What is the situation in the room?- he asked as he entered the control room.

-Terribly tense, boss- replied one of the employees, to which he nodded and looked at me.

-How do you feel?- he asked, hugging me to him.

-It used to be better- I muttered and the man stroked my hair. I love this gesture on his part.

"Let them vote now, and an hour later eat," he said, and two people came out with a big box with two buttons. O and X- O means to keep playing, and X means to end the game," said the man next to me suddenly, and I nodded.

The votes of the players prevailed, so they were forced to stay in the bloody game, and me and the Frontman went outside. We walked along the shore of the beach. I was so hot so I took off my whole Frontwoman outfit and stayed in my summer dress. Summer was approaching and the weather on the mysterious island was good. The waves crashed against my feet, which made me happy.

-Are we going on vacation somewhere this year?- I asked and the martyr looked next to me.

-Depends on where you want it to be- he replied and adjusted my pink clothes. He wore them to make it easier for me. How can you not love him.

-Last year we flew where I wanted to go, so this year you choose- I replied.

-Actually, we haven't been to Hawaii yet, What do you think?

"It's almost a 22-hour flight," he said, and I swallowed.

-I know, but a good friend of mine recommended me to fly like this one day. I can even buy us the whole plane to make you feel more comfortable.

-You don't have to, I'll survive. When we get back, I'll start to get our flights and that's it-I said and the man threw my clothes on a nearby rock next to him and took off his Frontman costume-What are you doing?-I asked as he approached dangerously, I didn't want to run away, but a strong pair of hands grabbed me at the waist and we were moving away from the water-You have almost all of your pants wet In-ho!

-It's hard for my pants to dry- he said and put me where the water reached my chest and him lower. I'm terribly short.

-And if someone discovers us, then what?

-They know what I look like and they know that you are with me, which means you are as important as me. They are supposed to treat you with due respect, and secondly, they are not allowed to leave the building when it is daytime, it is too unsafe for them.

-And what do they do at night?- I asked, climbing on In-ho's body, because I couldn't swim either. I loved going to places where there is water just so that I can sunbathe and cool photos come out.

"They're selling organs to someone there, so we have money for these games," he said, and I immediately moved away.

-What are they doing?!

-They're selling organs- he repeated, and I started to run reluctantly to the shore, which didn't give me a chance, because I didn't have land under my feet and I tried to swim, which almost ended up drowning me until my boyfriend caught me and lifted me so that I was hooked with my legs on his wet body. I was terrified that I might drown, so I hid my face in his neck and tears were falling from my eyes. He held me with one hand and spread his coat on the sand with the other to lay me down. I lay half-conscious on my coat and my fiancé crouched down next to me and protected my face from the sun.

-Are you? You could have died!

-You want to sell my organs!

-What?! No! Yours is not. I love you, I wouldn't propose if I wanted to sell your organs.

-Uhm... shall we take a picture?

-We can only don't take pictures of our costumes - he said and we took a picture of ourselves and the front of the island.

-When we come back, I can post it?- I asked, showing the photos taken a moment earlier.

-I'll give you access to the internet when we get back to our room- he replied and we started to get off the beach. We were all wet, so the sand was sticking to our feet. I hate that feeling.

When we returned to the apartment, we both went to the shower. I also washed my hair and hung our wet clothes on the ladder heater along with In-ho's wet coat. I wore a warm bathrobe and slippers in pink, and my beloved the same, but in gray. I turned off the bathroom light and went to the living room, where I heard a bit of In-ho's conversation.

-Uhm, I understand, before the VIPs arrive, we will search the whole island and kill the intruder.

-What are you going to do?- I asked, putting my hands on my chest. I looked murderously at the man who hated it. He swallowed his strength and said he would call back later.

-Honey, it's not like that...

-You want to kill an innocent man once again!

-And do you prefer to visit me in prison when he gives us away?

"No," I muttered and let go.

-Well, come on, I'll give you this internet because your fans are nervous-he said and gave me the password and I posted and replied with the company that wanted to work with me and I sent a few text messages to Vernonika asking how my beloved kitten was doing.

***

-Can I ask something?- In-ho asked when I was already falling asleep in bed. I was tired after today, and even more so after swimming in the ocean.

-Only quickly, because I want to sleep- I said sleepy and turned towards him with a substitute of strength. His dark brown eyes looked at me with a feeling I loved. He was worried.

-Why are you rooting for player 456?-He asked, and I knew I would have to tell him the truth. I breathed a sigh of relief and confessed the truth.

-Because he is a distant cousin of Veronica.
