In-ho let out a light chuckle.

"Of course not, lets look at the other claw machines if you insist." In-ho replied.

Gi-hun and in-ho started walking down the isle of claw machines, but gi-hun tried to focus on excuses to get away from in-ho, or ways to ask people for help. In-ho was focused on the claw machines, he wanted to win gi-hun something, so gi-hun would remember their date together.

"So gi-hun, do you see any prizes you want?" In-ho asked, pulling gi-hun out of his thoughts and back to reality.

"O-Oh uh that one." Gi-hun said, as he pointed to a random claw machine.

The claw machine he pointed at had teddy bears with hearts on their stomachs, just great.

"Really? Because we are on a date?" In-ho asked, amused.

"T-This isint a date! I just like stuffed animals." Gi-hun said, regretting randomly pointing to one.

In-ho chuckled.

"If you say so." In-ho said.

In-ho pulled gi-hun over to the claw machine.

He grabbed more cash from his wallet and moved the joystick. Gi-hun didnt even watch, assuming he would win it on the first try, but he didnt, a sound coming from the claw machine gesturing he had lost.

"Not so good at claw machines now?" Gi-hun asked, amused.

"N-No. just bad luck." In-ho mumbled, putting more cash in the slit.

He moved the joystick, a little bit more straight, he was actually putting in effort.

The same sound came from the claw machine, he had lost.

"Goddamnit!" In-ho yelled, reaching for more cash.

Gi-hun let out a soft, genuine laugh, unintentionally.

In-ho paused and looked at him.

"Just try again." Gi-hun said, looking away embarrassed.

In-ho smiled and put more money in the slot, trying again.

A different sound came from the claw machine, he finnaly won it.

"Yes!" In-ho yelled grabbing the plush from the prize slot.

He gave it to gi-hun, proudly.

Gi-hun sighed and took the bear plush, and looked at it.

Was he really enjoying this?

In-ho pulled him down the rest of the isle, and went to a snack bar.

"Do you want anything?" In-ho asked.

"Uhh a smoothie." Gi-hun replied, atleast he could drink it knowing there was nothing in it.

After they were given their drinks, they walked back outside, and walked on the sidewalk.

"It's getting late, we should go to that diner." In-ho said, starting to walk over to it.

Thats right, it's getting dark, he was running out of time to try and escape, he had to try and think of a way at the diner.

They walked in and were sat at a booth, in-hos face covered by his menu. Gi-hun slowly picked up a napkin and hid it under the table, using a knife from the table to engrave "Help" On it. Soon after the waiter walked up to their table.

"Would you guys like anything to drink?" The waiter asked.

"Water." Gi-hun said, quickly.

Before in-ho could say what he wanted, gi-hun pretended to sneeze in the napkin.

"Can you take this?" Gi-hun asked, handing over the napkin.

"Oh sure." The waiter responded.

In-ho shot gi-hun a suspicious look, watching gi-hun hand her the napkin. But she tossed it in a nearby trashcan, not looking at the napkin at all.

His plan failed.

In-ho ordered a drink, and the waiter left.

Shit.

The only other option he had was to ask to use the restroom, it was a little obvious, but he had to try.

"So, are you having fun?" In-ho asked, starting a conversation.

"It was fun seeing you fail at the arcade game." Gi-hun replied

"Thats the only part you enjoyed? What about everything else?" In-ho asked almost amusingly, studying gi-huns face.

"I dont love you. You killed my friends..!" Gi-hun said, a little too loud. As they got multiple stares across the diner.

In-ho sighed, and put his hands under the table.

Soon after the waiter brought their drinks. *of course in-ho ordered an alcoholic drink.* gi-hun thought, watching him sip it. Gi-hun drank his water.

"I like watching you drink things." In-ho said, his gaze on gi-hun.

In-hos words making gi-hun choke on his drink.

"S-Shut up!" Gi-hun said between coughs.

In-ho giggled, watching gi-hun struggling.

"I-i have to use the restroom." Gi-hun said, annoyance in his voice.

"Im coming with you." In-ho said, briefly.

"Fuck off. The bathrooms right there, you can see me from here." Gi-hun said, afterwards walking toward the bathroom.

In-ho slowly sat back down, his eyes not leaving gi-hun.

Gi-hun walked into the bathroom, he had to think of a plan fast. He looked around the bathroom and saw a window, he ran over to it, and suprisingly it opened. He quickly left through the window, landing on grass, and ran, until he felt a sharp shock go through his body, it was from the necklace.
