,,the melody played just like every other morning.

"before the last vote closed, the doctor nominated whom to heal. the nominated player was kim jun hee. thanks to the doctors ability to heal, kim jun hee has been brought back to life."a siren rang before the voice announced.

a long moment passed before another announcement came on. the siren rang yet again.

"during the night, (l.name) (f.name)...was executed by the mafia. (l.name) (f.name) was a mafia. morning has come."the voice revealed.

after that announcement shock spread throughout the students. (f.name)...a mafia? the girl who everyone was practically friends with?

who would want to kill her? had there been someone who disliked her?

the girl wasn't where she had last passed out, or well faked to pass out. people started to search around the youth center for her.

that was when they heard someone shout downstairs. once everyone got there, they saw a trail of blood.

where it led they weren't sure. yoon seo was the first to follow the trail running.

the trail finally stopped at a door of a storage closet. despite yoon seo arriving first jun hee had been the one to open the door.

inside sat the girl against the wall. she was covered in blood. those originated from the various stab wounds on her body.

three injuries stood out the most.

there was one on her side, and a really deep one in her shoulder. the worst wound was on her head, this murder was one of the most brutal they'd seen.

but why? why had she been so brutally murdered when she too was a mafia?

,,day one.

your eyes shot open once you didn't hear movement near you.

earlier today you had gotten the occupation of a mafia, but due to what you had just witnessed there was no way in hell you'd tell a soul. even to the other mafias.

you got up slowly and looked around the hallway. the girl besides you was missing, oh jung won...so she was also a mafia...

you saw other spots empty, woo ram, joo won, somi, and da bum. those stood out to you the most.

you looked around once more, kyung jun and yoon seo weren't mafias. yoon seo definitely had bad luck with her friends.

well at least she'd have jun hee, he was also knocked out.

you quickly got back into position once you heard a door open. you closed your eyes as you heard them walk past.

you then got a notification from you phone. damn it you hoped that they wouldn't notice and were too busy with theirs.

you turned on your phone and hid it.

you must follow the rules of mafia. if you don't execute one of the players until 6 a.m one of you will be executed instead.

that was what the notification read. you checked the time, it was already to late for that as it was 6 a.m.

you hoped that you wouldn't be the one to be executed.

you then heard slams coming from the restroom. you decided it too risky to check out and proceeded to act asleep.

you could hear all the chaos that was happening in the restroom, but you didn't exactly know what was going on.

well you weren't going to risk it, you'd act as if you weren't a mafia. to fool everyone, no matter what they were to you.

,,as the nights came you continuously hid your occupation.

you hadn't straight up kill anyone but you'd had to agree with whatever the other mafia said.

guilt consumed you from the inside, you were still just as guilty as the other mafia. you agreed to let your classmates die.

you'd hid in the shadows when they would meet up, always careful to cover your tracks. you knew just how perceptive jung won could be.

speaking of oh jung won, someone who you considered a friend happened to be the master mind behind all the plots.

but what could you do? revealing who the mafias were was a risky move. it also had a possibility of backfiring on you.

you weren't safe either after all, you too were a mafia.

,,someone was carrying your limp body.

tonight they had chosen you to die. you had agreed, and thankfully the game hadn't notified them yet. luck was on your side for the time being.

tonight you'd act, jun hee was dead and you'd prove to kyung jun you would get out your way, or die trying.

after today you decided to finally try and put a stop to this. even if it was one against three, you'd simply have to outsmart them. it could prove difficult.

though you weren't sure if you could bring yourself to hurt jung won, she was a close friend to you. maybe you could hurt her or maybe she'd team up with you instead.

you truly held out hope, after all you heard their discussion. you didn't properly hide today and 'passed' out right next to two mafia.jung won had been the one who suggested killing you.

her reason? to hurt kyung jun. so she knew...you weren't so good at hiding that as you thought.

your mind raced as you felt yourself being placed down on something cold. you heard speaking and then you heard two pairs of footsteps exit the room.

so then one mafia remained in the room with you, jin da bum. he'd agreed to kill you in order to hurt kyung jun.

what a joke, after today you learned just what you meant to the boy.

you heard da bum muttering to himself before he grabbed a weapon of his choice.

,,da bum raised the knife over the girls body.

her breath was steady. da bum was honestly looking forward to this, he couldn't wait to see kyung jun's face in the morning.

he'd kill the person who mattered most to go kyung jun.

a girl who's kindness was a facade, a hypocrite. she acted like she cared to people's face but could truly care less about them.

the girl had defended him once from kyung jun, he was grateful to her that day until he figured out the truth.

(f.name) was friends with kyung jun. seriously to think he believed her lies, she really had fooled everyone.

he quickly brought the knife down when he heard a siren.

"a mafia can't kill another mafia."the voice suddenly announced.

"what the hell?"da bum whispered out in confusion.

he had the knife not even an inch away from her.

,,your eyes shot open as you looked da bum straight in the eyes.

you lunged towards him, he still hadn't processed what was happening.

you wrapped your hands around his neck starting to squeeze tightly.

"you didn't think I'd let you get away that easily did you?"you asked him applying more pressure.

da bum clawed at your hands in a futile attempt to break free. he tried to take deep breaths as you kept choking him.

"a mafia can't kill another mafia."the voice repeated.

you could care less about that rule. you could die as long as you took out a mafia or two. you simply had to act fast.

if killing da bum meant your classmates survival then so be it. you didn't care if you died after you killed him at the very least.

at the rate things were going he was the biggest threat. jung won was another but you could think about her later...

you were done letting your classmates die, and maybe it was already to late for you to try and act like a good person.

though this wasn't an act, for a long time in years, you truly wished to help others. putting everything at stake for people who believed your lies.

you held onto da bums neck as his eyes started to roll back, you'd win this fight.

you felt pain like never before shoot throughout the left side of your body. your hands instinctively went to where the pain was.

blood, you noticed it quickly poured out of your body. you looked behind you noticing kim somi.

she had been the mafia you were least worried about. in her hand was an axe, so that had been the weapon she injured you with.

no wonder the wound seemed so deep...

"what're you doing? aren't you a mafia too?"somi shouted out confused.

"I'm just...doing what I think is right..."you responded while groaning in pain.

your hands still clenched your side in an attempt to stop the bleeding even for a bit.

somi kept shouting insults and what not at you. you only focused on the fact that da bum started to cough.

you hadn't managed to kill him just yet...but with this injury and somi being added to the fight, your chances started to decrease.

while da bum was still in a bit of a daze you acted fast and went to choke him again, but before you could somi swung the axe at you once more.

this time right in your shoulder blade. you let out a pained groan. this fight, could you really win?

the injuries were both pretty deep, somi sure could swing an axe...the last thing you needed now was for jung won to show up with another weapon...

that would make three against one, and the majority would have a weapon while you would be unarmed.

it seemed your best option would be to retreat...

,,you walked slowly while leaving behind a trail of blood.

you had just narrowly managed to escape. your escape had been of the cost of some more wounds, though much more minor.

you limped through the corridors of the youth center. it didn't matter where you hid, the trail of blood you left would give it away.

with how much you bled out you were certain you didn't have much time left. it was a miracle you had lasted as much as you had.

you were a fool in a the end for thinking you would win. maybe you should've listened to kyung jun you chuckled to yourself.

you paused, they had found you.

"come to finish me off...jung won?"you locked eyes with the familiar girl.

"so you were..."jung won started speaking.

"we both are."you responded.

"if we try to give you first—"she was cutoff.

"no."you were stern.

"why? why did you...?"jung won clenched her fist.

"you know, I always get this feeling that I don't know you...isn't that funny? how could I not know one of my best friends?"you giggled.

"stop talking, please."jung won placed her hands over one of your deeper wounds.

"I knew I wouldn't be able to hurt you...still you hurt me..."you whispered.

"I didn't want to...I won't, so let me treat you."she tugged at you.

"it's okay though, I'll forgive you. just don't hurt them...please..."you begged her.

"just come with me, I don't need you to forgive me..."jung won started dragging you along with her.

you let a small smile form on your face. first she agreed to let you die and now she was trying to save you. maybe you weren't the only hypocrite here.

"I'm already as good as dead, we both know that...just let me go out the way I want."your words came out slowly.

"mafia can't kill themselves."jung won told you.

"what're they going to do if I'm already dead? help a friend in need yeah?"you responded.

"...where to?"jung won asked quietly.

"the storage room near the snack bar, take me there."you instructed.

,,jung won closed the door behind her.

she really had helped you out in the end, you smiled to yourself.

you looked at the polaroid picture in your hand.

it was of you and kyung jun from earlier this year. you carried this picture around everywhere with you, it's home was in your phone case.

before you died you at least wanted to remember the good moments in your life. even if you had a falling out with the boy, your feelings for him didn't change.

you could hate his methods all you wanted, you could hate the fact he had so little trust in you, but you could never hate the boy himself.

love was a strange feeling wasn't it? if kyung jun were to see you right now you wondered what he would think.

he'd probably think you were an idiot for trying to save everyone.

"sorry kyung jun..."you whispered.

you held the bottle of bleach up to your mouth and started to drink. if you drank enough of this you'd die.

that was the goal anyways. hopefully he could make it out, and not just him, everyone else too.

WORD COUNT : 2155
