    Peppa watched until the van drove away, instructing the Uber driver to follow them.“Follow that van? What is this, a horror movie?” He was a nineteen year old punk wannabe with green spiked hair and a septum piercing.
  
    
      
        “I’m sorry, what did you ask me?” Peppa pulled out crisp bills, fanning them in his face. “I couldn’t quite understand you.” She raised a curious eyebrow at him.
        The Uber driver smiled at the large tip. “Follow that van, no problem.”
        “That’s more like it.” Peppa leaned back in her seat, feeling satisfied.
        “Why didn’t we try harder to stop them?” Teddy asked his fiancé as the car drove away.
        “It wouldn’t have mattered, nothing was going to sway them otherwise and I can vouch for that.”
        This was totally unorthodox, but Peppa thought that if she ever had those kinds of burdens, maybe she would take the same route as Sage and Honey.
        “How is Jonathan going to react?”
        Teddy wanted to grimace at the thought. Jonathan Diamond was a terrifying man on his own, but his anger was on a whole other level, having witnessed it first hand during a shouting match with Honey at the cosmetics headquarters. While his father had been disappointed that his only son decided not to pursue a law career, Teddy knew he could confide in him if he was in a situation like Honey and Sage.
        “If all goes according to plan, he’ll never find out.”
        Peppa wasn’t without worry over the possibility, hoping that Jonathan actually believed their reality show story, which in retrospect might not have been too far off from the truth. Either way, she knew she could go toe to toe with him if need be.
        They drove for about fifteen minutes before the van finally stopped at a harbor, driving onto the car loading dock with multiple vans.
        “This is really strange, especially that weird getup the drivers are wearing.”
        “I just hope we’ll be able to track their phones, because who knows where these games are being held?” Peppa quickly wrote down the cross streets of the harbor, watching until the ferry was out of sight before Teddy instructed the driver to go back to the Four Seasons. “They could be going into a cave for all we know. Or a volcano.”
      
    
  

  
    
      
        “I doubt it’s a volcano, but you gotta wonder what sick bastards are behind the curtain.” Teddy wrapped his arm around Peppa, pulling her to his side. “It’s not just about Honey and Sage. You’ve always made your dislike for Sang-woo very clear, but would you really want him in a situation like this?”
        “Of course not, or Gi-hun.” Peppa rested her head on his chest. “Do you think any of them will survive?”
        It was a question that had been on both of their minds all night, the inevitable too scary to even voice aloud.
        “I hope so, my love.” Teddy kissed her on the head, sadly looking out the window.
        Peppa nodded. “Me too, babe.”
        They weren’t sure which unknown was more harrowing, that they didn’t know enough about what the Diamond siblings were getting into or not knowing if they would make it out alive. Hopefully, their only known allies in the arena would come to their side, but could either of them really be trusted??
        
        “So you’re offering me protection, huh?” Sage leaned against one of the bunk bed rails, his hands in his pockets as he watched the gangsters.
        They had cornered him the moment Honey went to the bathroom. Up until then, the siblings kept to themselves, exchanging pleasantries here and there with a few faceless players. This was certainly a humbling experience, especially if they made it to the end.
        “Nothing but the best, Diamond.” Player 101 said, having introduced himself as Jang Deok-su. “We’re a strong crew, all muscle. Stick with us and nobody will f@ck with you.”
        “Yeah, especially if you throw in your sister.” A tall and lanky guy with a low bun smirked, number 040 on his jacket. “She’s got a body that refuses to quit.”
        Deok-su turned around. “Don’t get any ideas. I’m the leader, I get the first and only dibs.”
        “I think you’re a little butch for her liking. Besides, I wouldn’t let you anywhere near my sister after what you did to her.”
        Sage nodded his head over at the young girl Deok-su had thrashed around the other day. She was tall with short black hair and a splash of freckles across her nose, the number 067 on the back of her jacket. He kept noticing her all throughout the first game, Sage couldn’t help being intrigued by this mysterious beauty.
      
    
  

  
    
      
        “Don’t think too much about it. We just had a score to settle, it’s water under the bridge now.” Deok-su took a step forward, his arms crossed in front of his chest. “It would be in your best interest to take this wonderful offer, and for your sister. I read up on you both while we were gone, you’re too valuable of assets to run solo in this place. Consider us like bodyguards, I know you’ve had those.”
        Player 101 did plan on protecting the siblings until it no longer benefited him. Without their unlimited funds to save them, they would be easier for him to kill.
        “That’s the reason you think I need protection?” Sage asked. “If anything, you would all need protection from me.”
        “And why’s that?” A stout man laughed behind Deok-su.
        “You saw that little scene I pulled the other day and that was out of panic. Can you imagine what happens when I’m completely whacked out of my mind?”
        The fallen smirks of the thugs dissolving into worry made Sage inwardly triumph.
        “Plus, if I had to rip your throat out like I did to the last guy that tried to threaten me, it wouldn’t be a pretty sight.”
        Sage chomped down, making Deok-su visibly flinch. The American smiled, knowing his little plan worked.
        “Adios, m@th@rf@ck@rs.” Sage saluted them before walking off. He was aware that he had exposed their Diamond status after the first game, but that group couldn’t be trusted as far as they could be thrown. If any alliances were to be formed in these games, it had to be strategic.
        
        Walking down the hall from the bathroom, Gi-hun was deep in thought trying to figure out the next game, the possibilities being endless. The money was nice, but he really had to survive. Luckily, he wasn’t alone.
        While he was grateful to have come across Sang-woo, Player 199 and the old man, Gi-hun hadn’t seen Honey or Sage. He anticipated the two of them returning to the United States and utilizing the resources at their disposal, he just hoped Honey would be able to have a renewed peace of mind after all the downfalls.
      
    
  

  A girl walked past him, Gi-hun immediately noticing that her outfit was different from all the rest, that she was different from all the rest.
  
    
      
        “Honey?”
        His face instinctively broke out into a smile when she turned around and flashed those adorable dimples his way.
        “Gi-hun, hi!”
        “Hey!” He happily threw his arms around her in a hug, her arms wrapping around his neck. Pulling away, Gi-hun was hypnotized by the serenity of Honey’s eyes, their faces inches apart.
        A sharp jab at his side caused Gi-hun to stumble forward, the two of them catching their footing in time to avoid falling to the ground.
        “Keep it moving.” The modulated voice of a triangle masked pink soldier barked.
        “Ok, ok.” Honey glared at the guard as they walked ahead, trying to conceal her annoyance over their moment being interrupted.
        “Nice threads.” Gi-hun nodded at her outfit.
        Honey had torn off the pant cuffs, making them more free flowing. The raglan tee was turned into a tank top, modestly revealing her impressive cleavage as well as the black sports bra she had on underneath it.
        “Thanks. I had to spruce up the outfit somehow, I guess I’m not as down to earth as I thought.”
        “I can’t blame you, but I doubt they were thinking of style when they came up with these outfits.”
        Honey let out a scoff. “Probably not.” She glanced over at Gi-hun. “I had a feeling you would come back.”
        “I’m glad you’re here, well... as glad as one can be considering the surroundings.”
        Things were pretty mellow right now, but there was no telling what chaos tomorrow could bring. The least these gamemakers could have done was to give some kind of hint considering the players were practically enslaved to this place.
        “Ditto. It’s like a hella bizarre high school reunion.”
        They saw Sang-woo on the other side of the room, staring off into space. Gi-hun observed Honey’s sudden tension, indicating that she hadn’t seen her ex-boyfriend until right now.
      
    
  

  
    
      
        “You should let him know you’re here.”
        Honey nodded. “You’re right but I just... I don’t know what to say.”
        “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.” Gi-hun took her hand. “You’ll feel better once you do it.”
        She knew he was right, they all needed to keep the peace if any of them were going to make it out alive. Following Gi-hun’s lead, Honey watched their hands linked together, a sweet smile spreading across her mind.
        “Sang-woo, look who I found!” Gi-hun singsonged, having enough sense to let go of Honey’s hand as his childhood friend turned around.
        Sang-woo was surprised to see Honey with Gi-hun, but overall happy with her sudden appearance.
        “Hey, Hon.”
        “Hello, stranger.”
        She could always feel his tension, but right now it was especially strong.
        “Can we talk for a second?” Honey nodded her head over to the side.
        Once they were a bit aways, she pulled herself together, continuing to handle the breakup gracefully. “This doesn’t have to be awkward for however long we’re here.”
        He nodded. “We just need to stay focused on the games.”
        “Exactly, and I feel things will be smoother if we’re on the same page. You and I were a progressive team when Peppermint Honey launched, and I think we could probably help each other out here, too.”
        They may not have worked out romantically, but Sang-woo had been an integral part of the brand’s success.
        Sang-woo pondered her statement, knowing it had its advantages and disadvantages. However, it would be one less person against him, and he would be able to keep an eye on her.
        “You’re absolutely right. It’s like that story you mentioned the other night, it’s not about the start, it’s about the strategies. Vermin, human.”
        “We all want the cheese.” She smiled at him, feeling much calmer now. “Friends?”
      
    
  

  
    
      Gi-hun watched Honey and Sang-woo embrace, beginning to feel rather conflicted. They had history and obvious chemistry, but Gi-hun also knew about his own chemistry with Honey.
      
        
          I don’t want to be a bad friend, but every time I see her...
        
      
      
        “Well, now I know I’m in hell because Satan is here.”
        The three of them looked over to see Sage walking up, waving to Sang-woo before swiftly flipping him the bird.
        “Hey.” Sang-woo replied with a curt nod.
        Honey shook her head, walking over to her brother as Sang-woo followed. “Stop it, Sage.”
        “Hon, he’s the prince of darkness, he’s used to it.” The older Diamond turned to Gi-hun. “Garfield! What’s up, man?”
        “Ok, what’s with this “Garfield” thing?” Sang-woo asked Honey as Sage and Gi-hun caught up with one another.
        “Sage thought that was his name when we met him and he’s been calling him that ever since.” She smirked at her ex-boyfriend. “Just part of his wacky brand of humor, I suppose.”
        “If you want to call it that.” He replied tersely. Sang-woo wasn’t looking forward to having Sage around. He was not only completely unstable, but also unreliable.
        
           That brat could very easily get any of us killed, especially his precious baby sister. 
        
        “HoneyBear?”
        “Hmm?” Honey turned around to see the little old man from the first game. “My grandpa used to call me that.”
        Player 001 gave her a wrinkled yet charming smile. “Sounds like a smart man to come up with such a fitting nickname.”
        “He was the smartest.” She returned the smile. “I want to say I’m surprised to see you back, but I’m not.”
        “I’ve got limited time, I figure why not go out with a bang?” Player 001 replied in a raspy voice.
        Sage nodded his head at the first player. “I like the way you think, old man.”
      
    
  

  
    
      
        “Lights out in five minutes.” A female voice chirped over the loudspeakers.
        “I guess we’ll see you guys tomorrow then.” Honey said. “Best wishes this second game is an easy one.”
        “Fingers crossed.” Player 199 held up his finger crossed hand.
        “Come on, Hon. I’m tired.” Sage walked ahead, Honey following behind before she turned around to Sang-woo.
        “By the way, you look about ten years younger without those glasses.”
        “Thanks.” He gave her a barely there smile.
        “You should have listened to me a long time ago on that one.” Honey turned and waved at Gi-hun as she walked off. “Bye, Gi-hun.”
        “Bye.” He waved, watching her walk away with that poised strut, but he found his eyes wandering down to her-
        “She’s pretty cute.“
        “Huh?” Gi-hun shook himself back into the present, looking over to see the old man with a smirk. “She’s old enough to be my daughter, and his.” He nodded his head over at Sang-woo, who was now talking to Player 199. “They used to date.”
        “Then you can’t waste any time.” Player 001 looked back and forth between the two men. “You better make your move before he decides he wants her back.”
        Gi-hun pondered his words as he tried to fall asleep moments later. If Sang-woo did change his mind, would Honey go back? Gi-hun wanted to believe he stood a shot in this race, but he was aware his childhood friend had seniority.
        
        “Do you think we should have teamed up with them?” Honey asked Sage as they laid side-by-side in their beds. “If we want to get out of here, we need numbers on our side.”
        “I think we need to try things as our own army for a while.” Sage looked over at her. “As far as Sang-woo and Gi-hun, keep them at arm’s length. The only people I care about protecting are you and me.”
        Honey nodded, balling up her jacket into a makeshift pillow. “I get where you’re coming from, all I’m asking is for you not to write off the thought completely.”
      
    
  

  
    
      
        Despite the air being cleared, it didn’t make things any less weird for Honey with Gi-hun and Sang-woo. Spending more time with Gi-hun was a plus, but after the other night with Sang-woo... her heart wasn’t entirely finished aching.
        “Let’s just hope we’re able to figure out the next game or we’re screwed.” Sage punched his pillow a couple times to give it some cushion before laying his head down and closing his eyes.
        Honey stole one last glance at Gi-hun’s bunk before the lights shut out, who was slowly closing his eyes. She smiled over what could be seen of his peaceful face, the way his bangs fell across his forehead. As her lids began to droop in sleepiness, Honey wondered how it was possible for a grown man to be that cute.
        It hadn’t been easy, but they had all managed to get some sleep before awakening to the music. After their measly breakfast, the players were brought into a room resembling a sand playground, sunny blue skies and primary colored picket fences on the crayon drawn walls. They were instructed to select one of the four shapes on the wall and stand behind it, determining their position for the next game.
        “I’ll go with the triangle, because it reminds me of what I’m missing back home and what’s waiting for me when I get out of here.” Sage chuckled wickedly.
        “Whatever floats your boat, Sagey.” Honey looked at the shapes on the wall again. “I’ll pick the star, it’s a good sign.”
        Going their separate ways, Sage smiled when he saw Player 067 under the triangle. Running a hand through his hair, he confidently walked up to her.
        “We picked the best shape, we’re obviously the smartest ones here.” Sage gave her a charming grin, only for it to freeze in embarrassment when the returned expression was a blank stare from the young girl.
        Sang-woo watched Gi-hun and the others walk away into their respective lines. When Player 067 told him what she saw in the air vents the previous night, he had immediately figured out the game. He wasn’t too concerned over Honey picking the star, but Gi-hun went with the worst possible selection.
        “Gi-hun?”
        “Yeah?”
        Sang-woo found himself hesitating once Gi-hun turned around, shaking his head. “Never mind.” He walked over to the triangle line, having decided in this arena, may the best man truly win. What Sang-woo was unaware about was that a certain American had overheard the entire exchange.
      
    
  

  
    
      
        Without hesitation, Sage marched over to the star line, turning his sister around.
        “Sage, what are you doing?” Honey asked as he dragged them away. “I already decided on the star. “
        “Not anymore, you’re in the circle now.”
        He didn’t have time to explain to her, all Sage could think of was how he had to avoid both of them losing the round. It would look suspicious if they both picked the same shape, he figured the circle was the next best option.
        “But I think it’s a-“
        Sage looked down on her. “It’s not a sign, Honey. Is it going to be a good sign when your brains are splattered on the ground because you went with the wrong shape? Pick. The. Circle.” He grumbled under his breath, staring into her soul.
        His tone was too serious for him to be paranoid, he must have had some kind of a hunch. She slowly nodded, deciding not to question him further. “Ok, the circle it is.”
        Having witnessed the strange interaction, Gi-hun looked at Honey, their eyes meeting from feet away.
        “What happened?” He wordlessly mouthed to her, only for Honey to shrug and shake her head, looking at the umbrella Gi-hun was standing under.
        
           What a complex shape. I just hope I did the right thing. 
        
        The game turned out to be dalgona, which was to cut the shape out of a honeycomb in a tin case with a needle in ten minutes or less. Unlike the previous game, the siblings were out of their league. Thankfully, they were able to think quickly on their feet.
        Sage went under the slide, sneakily using his lighter to heat the needle, biding his time in order to avoid suspicion.
        Honey had a little more difficulty with the circle, the fragility of the honeycomb making her on edge. One wrong stroke would mean her blood on the floor. She looked over to see Gi-hun frantically wetting the needle and eating the honeycomb crumbs. Luck was really not on his side to have picked the umbrella, it was easily the most difficult shape.
        As she expected, Sang-woo was one of the first to finish, strolling out of the playground room with c@ckiness in his stride. He had to have known the game the moment he saw the shapes...
      
    
  

  Studying the delicacy, her strategy finally clicked.
  
    
      
        
           It’s just like applying a cut crease eyeshadow. Back and forth, back and forth. 
        
        After a few minutes of swift needling, she happily exhaled when the circle popped out. However, Honey’s joy was short-lived over a deafening gun shot. She looked up to see a man sliding backwards down the slide, a bl@@dy hole through his head.
        A woman’s gasp was heard at the sound of her honeycomb breaking, her pleas for a second chance silenced by a bullet through the head, all of this starting a chain reaction.
        Honey felt so helpless watching this mayhem unfolding. Everybody else besides her and Sage was here to improve their lives and it ended up costing them their souls. Why were the less fortunate always punished in one way or another?
        
        Gi-hun was practically a puddle as he worked away. He had loosened the umbrella from some of the corners, but the needle could only do so much, every shot from the barrel jolting his nerves.
        “Player 131, pass.”
        He allowed himself a smile in the chaos, relief filling him to know she was safe. There was no way he could lose her now, but if he didn’t get this d@mn umbrella out soon, it would be inevitable.
        A droplet of sweat from his brow splashed down, wetting the golden candy. Gi-hun carefully held up the honeycomb, studying the pattern in the light.
        
           I can melt it from the back. 
        
        
        Getting to her feet, Honey noticed Gi-hun out of the corner of her eye, his actions making her stop in her tracks. She was mesmerized watching him lick the honey comb. The urgency, the precision, it was all so... erotic.
        “Wow. Can you imagine what would have happened if I didn’t cock block him with the French chick?” Sage asked, breaking Honey out of her trance, she hadn't even heard him finish.
        “What do you mean?”
        Sage smirked, getting a kick out of his sister’s flustered state. “I’m saying that your little boyfriend knows how to please his lady.”
      
    
  

  Honey silently walked past him with her head down, her face further reddening as her brother laughed. “If you need tips on where to sneak a quickie, I’m your guy. I’ve banged my way around plenty of rehabs.”
  
    
      
        “Shut up, Sage.” Honey quickened her pace through the funhouse maze.
        “What? Hey, your ship name could be HunHon!” Sage shook his head. “It practically writes itself, the HoneyBees will simp their pants off.”
        When Sang-woo saw the Diamond siblings waltz through the door, he exhaled the heavy breath he had been holding.
        “I’m glad to see you both passed.” He said as he walked up to them.
        “Me, too.” Honey nodded before sadly looking at the door. “I just hope Gi-hun finishes in time.”
        “He’ll be fine, we’ve played this game before.”
        Sage watched them, his annoyance beyond boiling. “You knew what the game was, didn’t you?”
        Sang-woo glanced over. “Excuse me?”
        “Sage, come on. He was able to figure it out because it’s from his actual childhood. Just relax, we passed.” She gave his shoulder a squeeze before walking off, leaving the two men alone.
        “I don’t know why you’re under the assumption I knew anything.” Sang-woo tried to be aloof, but he knew Sage saw right through him and he obviously noticed his indecision with Gi-hun before the game started.
        “Don’t try anything slick with me. Unlike my sister, I’ve had you pegged since day one.” Sage glared at him. “If anything happens to her, I’ll f@ck@ng kill you.”
        As Sage walked off, Sang-woo shook his head in annoyance over that moronic little punk thinking he ran the show.
        
           Don’t try me, m@th@rf@ck@r. I might just kill you first.'
