,,you were wandering the halls when youwere suddenly stopped.

kim somi had stopped you right in your tracks. behind her were woo ram and jun hee.

you could already guess what they were here for...

"i'm guessing you're here to convince me to vote for kyung jun...?"you asked them.

"right, since you know that why don't you go ahead and vote."somi spoke.

"it's not like we're forcing you, but we're on good terms right (f.name)? we're friends, we should help each other out...please..."woo ram started pleading you.

"could you give me some more time...?"you whispered.

"c'mon (f.name), I'm not a mafia you know that..."woo ram said.

"well i'm not saying you are but kyung jun could also not be one. so until i'm sure I don't want to waste my vote. please understand it's nothing personal against you woo ram."you explained.

woo ram tighter his hand into a fist, you could tell he wasn't happy to hear your words. he even cursed lightly under his breath.

woo ram and somi probably realized they couldn't convince you so easily and left your alone. jun hee followed after them.

your next guess was that they'd go try and convince ji soo and yoo joon.

you glanced one last time at them before walking away. once you were at a good distance you pulled out your phone. you clicked twice then put it away.

"(l.name) (f.name) has voted for park woo ram."the voice suddenly announced.

you really disliked that they announced it, but then again it had its perks.

all these thoughts made you hungry...maybe while you were at it you could pay kyung jun a visit.

,,you made your way over to the snack bar.

you passed a familiar storage closet signaling you were near.

"hey kyung—"you cut yourself off before you finished.

instead of the familiar boys you were used to there was another three in their stead. you saw da bum, eun chan, and yeon woo sitting there eating.

"oh! have you guys seen kyung jun...?"you sheepishly asked.

eun chan, yeon woo, and da bum made awkward eye contact between themselves.

"he just left..."eun chan answered you.

"I see...well do you happen to know where?"you questioned.

"probably to find woo ram."yeon woo spoke up.

"right! well I'll be off then! enjoy your meal!"you bid farewell to them.

you let out a shaky sigh, you hoped that wouldn't seem suspicious to them. you had just voted for woo ram and then went looking for kyung jun...

hopefully they wouldn't say a word about this...

,,so kyung jun was looking for woo ram...

your best choice would probably be to not interrupt that. you knew kyung jun would most likely jump straight to violence.

that's just how he's always been ever since you two were kids.

you recalled the time when some kid tried to bully you, it didn't end up well for him though. kyung jun had beat him up pretty well.

you weren't one for violence but kyung jun surely was. though if the situation called for it you could justify a bit of violence.

so maybe in a game like this, if someone tried to kill you, you'd definitely fight back.

well now your best bet was probably to find yoon seo and jung won. it'd been a while since you've seen them.

either way it was almost 12 am, so voting would end soon. the only issue in meeting up with your friends was that you didn't know where they were.

you stood still and pondered for a moment, where could they have gone?

they weren't with jun hee as he was with somi and woo ram. you also hadn't seen them with anyone else while you were walking around...

though you also hadn't seen na hee, maybe those three were together...your thoughts were interrupted by a screeching sound.

"I'm park woo ram."you heard come from above you.

the intercom...woo ram took a shaky breath before speaking again.

"i'm the mafia. I killed lee joo young."woo ram announced.

there's no way he'd just announce that out of nowhere, kyung jun must've found him.

though him admitting he was a mafia was good for kyung jun's survival. it was a bit of a relief kyung jun did what he did.

you should probably make your way to the broadcasting room. that was probably what everyone else was going to do.

you hurriedly started jogging towards the broadcasting room.

"I wasn't planning to do that at first, but I got upset because she humiliated me. because she always belittled me, I wanted to kill her."woo ram kept speaking.

you heard those words as you ran, to think he wanted you to save him instead of kyung jun.

as far as you know kyung jun hadn't murdered anyone, nor did you want him to. you'd try and stop this game before it came to him killing anyone.

when you made it to your destination you saw that people were already there. jun hee was banging on the door demanding they open it.

you saw that yoon seo and jung won were there too. well you ended up finding all your friends in one go...

you stood back not bothering to help, until you saw yoon seo come back with an axe.

"move."yoon seo said holding the axe.

"give me that. stay away."jun hee took the axe from yoon seo.

you took two steps back, you definitely didn't want to get in the way of that.

jun hee started repeatedly hitting the door with the axe. finally the door opened when he knocked off the door handle.

jun hee went in first, yoon seo and you following behind him.

"darn it, kim jun hee."kyung jun shouted.

you then noticed woo ram tied up in a chair with duck tape. he was covered in blood, most of it was on his shirt.

"you crazy jerks!"jun hee screamed at them holding up the axe.

the three back away towards the wall as yoon seo and somi helped free woo ram.

you saw them start taking an injured woo ram away.

"you're lunatics!"jun hee kept shouting at them.

"who's the real crazy one here?"kyung jun asked.

"he's the mafia, he killed lee joo young!"kyung jun started to raise his voice.

"cut it out."jun hee threatened.

"come to your senses idiot."kyung jun muttered.

you then felt a buzz and then heard various dings. you quickly pulled out your phone and looked at the notifications.

ji soo and yoo joon had voted for park woo ram, that meant this entire thing was over...you heard laughter coming from outside.

you looked out the doorway and saw woo ram on his knees laughing...he started to scream and punch the floor.

"I should've killed go kyung jun first...i'd be an idiot if I just die."you heard woo ram grumble.

as if you'd let him lay a hand on kyung jun. you'd already promised yourself that you wouldn't let the mafia touch your friends.

"hey, come with me jerk!"woo ram suddenly ran into the room and snatched the axe from jun hee's hands.

he started swinging the axe around like crazy, you quickly moved out of the way grabbing kyung jun as he had fallen near you.

"I'll kill you before I die!"woo ram screamed as he stumbled around.

kyung jun had fallen on his back when you dragged him out with you. you had your back against the wall taking a few deep breaths.

kyung jun started backing up on the floor.

"even if it weren't me, someone would kill you. die you jerk!"woo ram held up the axe.

just as you were about to grab him from behind you heard the siren.

"voting is over. park woo ram with the most votes will be executed."it announced just in time.

woo ram dropped his stance and held the axe so it faced him. he then hit himself with it and fell down face first.

"park woo ram was the mafia."the voice revealed.

you already knew that, you let out a sigh of relief he hadn't taken kyung jun with him.

you went to kyung jun's side and helped him slowly get up.

"see? I told you."kyung jun whispered before he ran off.

everyone else started to run away, off to go hide. you'd lost sight of your three friends in the chaos. you noticed somi still in the hallway.

you both made eye contact before running off in opposite directions. you ran off towards the storage closet near the snack bar and decided to hide there.

you then heard a familiar tune start to play, you slowly closed your eyes seeing nothing but darkness.
