Death Wish

Act III - Discussion

An alliance has been formed, five of them have tied themselves together to gain an advantage over the other wishers. Their fates are now connected and destiny is the only one who can make them fall apart. This group needed a stand, a leader who can lead, those who can assist. They need good coordination to make it work and help each other to surpass their own limits.

Yoon Ho looks at them, analyzing everyone's physique if they are able to overcome some challenges. Yoon Ho has watched Wishing Games in the past years. He observes that the game goes by random game mechanics and some challenges can be completed based on body sizes. Anyone can have advantages and disadvantages.

Yoon Ho looks at Ree Na, she was the smallest of their group and approximately four eleven feet in height. Her height is still in middle school but her face was mature enough to be called in her twenties. "What are you looking at?", Hee Chul grown impatient for Yoon Ho's silent stares, "Can we start our discussion now?", Hee Chul snarls. "He's analyzing us,'' Jin Suk answered instead. "Why?"Yoo Chan asked as he looked at Yoon Ho.

Yoon Ho wrapped his arms and smirked, "I am inspecting your body sizes", he answered. "Our body size? Why?", Ree Na asked. "As you can see, some rounds have a challenge that can only be done by distinguishing parts such as body sizes' ', he explained. Hee Chul stomps his right foot as he raises his left hand by pointing his finger up. "Aha! That's right, I have watched all the wishing game seasons and his correct '', Hee Chul stated, "I saw some rounds that require body build or in terms of height", he added.

Yoom Ho nodded his head once to Hee Chul, "He is correct, body sizes are important for some challenges", he said. He looked at Ree Na and the met eyes together, "Why are you looking at me?", Ree Na asked, she was feeling fluffy for an unknown reason, "Such as you, miss", Yoon Hos said to her and smiled. "Me, why?", she asked as she tried to avoid looking at Yoon Ho. "Because you're small, unnie", Yoo Chan answered. Ree Na's slightly widened, "Ah, so my height can be useful after all", she said. "Thanks for telling me, kid", he gave a thumbs up to Yoon Ho.

Yoo Cham became embarrassed after getting a compliment from a girl, it was his first time. Yoo Chan smiled awkwardly as he waved his both hands to her, "No, you should thank them, I only gave something that I understand", he giggled. Ree Na looks at them and smiled, "I thought I don't have a used but thank you for making me feel part of the group", she said. "Yeah, you should be thanking me because I agreed to let you in", Hee Chul smirk. Ree Na rolls her eyes, " Yeah, thank you mister piss fountain", she teases. Hee Chul eyes widened, " This kid, you bet-", Hee Chul unable to react as Yoon Ho cuts in. "First, let's try to discuss about our own skills and used", he stated.

Yoon Ho looked at them and stopped, he stared at Yoo Chan, he wanted him to go first. "Me, first?" Yoo Chan pointed to himself. Yoon Ho smiled, "Yes, you go first", he replied. Yoo Chan stood up hesitating, he bows while he was crumpling his pants with his hands and introduced himself, "Hello, -uhmm everyone. I am- uhmm Lee Yoo Chan. I-" , he kept stuttering, his mind was full. He is not used to putting himself in the center of attention. "Go on, kid. Be comfortable with us, we're friends aren't we?", Ree Na gave him a boost.

Yoo Chan let go of his pants and gulps. He took a deep breath and looked at Ree Na, Ree Na gave him an assurance, he gained confidence. "Let me try again", he said. "Go ahead, no one's gonna bite you here", Yoon Ho assured him. "Okay", he gave a short pause. "My name is Lee Yoo Chan, I am eighteen years old, it's a pleasure to be in alliance with you all", he introduced himself properly this time and bows his head. Ree Na smiled from ears to ears as she gave away fast claps.

Yoon Ho smiled at Yoo Chan, "Nice to meet you, Lee Yoo Chan", he said. Yoo Chan sat back down as Ree Na rubbed his back telling him that he did great. Yoo Chan can't help but feel awkwardly shy again. "Okay, great. Who's next?", Yoon Ho asked. Ree Na raised her hand as the other two didn't even bother.Hee Chul stepped in with a frowning face, "Shut it, this will take us for long", he said. "Let's just do a roll call then that's it", he indicated as he looked at Yoon Ho. "Sure, we can't waste time on introducing ourselves, that's true", he agreed. "I'll start, my name is Lee Yoon Ho", he introduced himself first then looked at Hee Chul.

Hee Chul raises his hand, "Names, Jang Hee Chul", he said and gave an uplift of his left eyebrow. "Your turn, middle schooler", he teases Ree Na and she became a little furios and stood as she continued looking at Hee Chul. "My name is Oh Ree Na", she said and bowed her head then sat back down again without changing his direction of sight, she kept looking at Hee Chul. Hee Chul sticks out his tongue and folds his lips. Ree Na raises his fist as she widens. The two were like children, fire and ice, oil and water, the two aren't just going along with each other.

Yoo Chan looks at Jin Suk waiting for his turn, "Your turn, Ahjussi", he said. Jin Suk, still leaning the wall, looks at them with an unbothered expression, "Noh Jin Suk", he only gave his name without a proper introduction. Hee Chul claps his hands as if he was clapping for his idol. Jin Suk looks at him with his slanted eyes and he stops immediately and becomes serious again. Hee Chul knows his boss, his kiddie actions are now hidden inside of him. Ree Na and Yoo Chan were puzzled after seeing Hee Chul switch his personality in an instant. They looked at Jin Suk and backed at him again. A jolly showcase became a silent soldier just by a single look from Jin Suk. Hwe Chul's loyalty to Jin Suk is greater than the value of his life. He respects Jin Suk so much like a wolf in a pack who always follow his leader.

Yoon Ho immediately noticed Hee Chul's true loyalty and he thinks that it will be a problem. He thinks that this loyalty might endanger the other allies in some unexpected situations. "Go on", Jin Suk seconded. Yoon Ho nodded his head, "Now, we have to give out all the things we know about the game", he said.

Yoo Chan raised his hand and Yoon ho gave a go, "I don't know if you guys know about this but-", he took something in his pocket and showed it to them. "I found this glass card in my room with my name and picture of me in it", he said. Yoon Ho already knows about this but he was glad that Yoo Chan bring it up.

Yoon Ho took the same thing in his pocket and showed it to them too, "I have one too", he said. Ree Na stood up to check Yoo Chan's card. Yoo Chan gave it to her and she inspected it, "What is it?", she asked. "I don't know", Yoo Chan replied. Hee Chul and Jin Suk went closer to check the card out. Yoon Ho gave his card to Jin Suk and Hee Chul looked at Yoo Chan's. "Where did you find it, kid?", Hee Chul asked. Yoo Chan wenr into left side of the room, "Can I open it?", Yoo Chan asked permission since it wasn't his room but Yoon Ho's. "Go ahead", Yoon Ho approved.

Yoo Chan pressed something and small apartment have opened, "I found it here", he took a small glass black box inside the compartment, "The card was in here", he said. "Do you know anything about it?", Jin Suk aske.

"I think it's just an identification card, everyone has it", Yoon Ho replied. "This might be important", Jin Suk stated. "Yes, I also think it's important", Yoon Ho replied.

"What are these stars for anyway?", Ree Na saw red stars below the name. "I don't know but the first time I found it, there were no stars in it", Yoon Ho said. "What about you, kid?", Ree Na asked Yoo Chan. He shakes his head, "I don't know, it was already there when I found it", he said.

"The stars only appeared after the round one ended, I still don't know what is the meaning of it", Yoon Ho said. "Maybe, it works like a point system after successfully completing a round", Jin Suk gives out his opinion and gives Yoon Ho's card back to him. "I don't know, the game only gives out game round rules so I am not sure about this star thing", Yoon Ho said. "Yeah, the game didn't even mention anything about the secret space and compartments of the rooms", Hee Chul stated. Ree Na and Yoo Chan nod their heads.

The five of them moved closer to each other to form a serious discussion so they won't miss anything, "Let's leave that for now", Yoon Ho cuts the topic. "Let us discuss and predict the upcoming game round instead, we must be prepared", Jin Suk suggested and everyone agreed.
