Kai povThere are few things I love but not more than playing basketball with my friends at school. We were at the basketball court, the sun was shining madly and the air was filled with the sound of sneakers squeaking on the pavement.Huang tae was being his usual flashy and showy self dribbling like some fucking NBA star while mark was busy trash talking everyone."Kai , you're going down" Mark said with a grin as I lined to the basket."Save the smack talk for when you actually going to win mark" I shot back sending the ball swishing through the hoop. "That's another point for me..." I winked.Tae threw his hands dramatically. "Okay Kai we get it, you're good at basketball you don't have to rub it in our face, we already know"!" Atleast you admit that I'm much better than you" I said tossing the ball to him.As we continue playing, I felt my phone buzzing with notifications on my pants pockets. I ignore it at first but it kept buzzing and buzzing and keep ruining my game." Popula

Kai's POVI thought I was in the clear. I ignored the creepy storage room task yesterday and decided to spend the rest of the evening trying to forget about it. But of course, life never goes as planned. I keep getting weird feelings about this game.The next morning, I strolled into school, yawning as I made my way down the hall. I was still half asleep as I didn't get enough sleep, replaying the weirdness from yesterday in my head.As I rounded the corner, I spotted my friends Tae, Mark, Marianne, and Rubin together, their heads bent down, staring at their phones. What's so interesting that they are all looking at their phones?"Yo! What’s got you all so serious this early in the morning? You're all busy looking at your phones, anything happens?" I called out, slipping my hands into my pockets as I approached them.Tae looked up at me, his expression a mix of confusion and irritation. "Kai, did you send us a link to that creepy game of yours?"I blinked, taken aback. "What? No, wh

Kai's POVSchool was over, but the weight of everything that had happened still pressed down on us. We had just vandalized the school bathroom under the app's command, and while we’d managed to complete the task, it didn’t feel like a victory. The laughter and pranks were long gone, replaced by a gnawing fear that we were only beginning to understand. I could tell that we all regretted following this creepy game.We slowly walked to the bus stop together, the usual chatter missing. Tae, Marianne, Rubin, Mark, and I stood in silence, each lost in our own thoughts. The sun was setting, painting the sky in hues of orange and red, but even that beautiful sight felt ominous, I kept thinking what would happen next?".As we waited, an empty bus rolled up in front of us. It was unusual no number, no destination on the front display. Just a plain, white bus with tinted windows."Is this even a public bus?" Mark asked, raising an eyebrow."Who cares," Rubin sighed, clearly exhausted. "Let's jus

Kai's POVI woke up with the sharp, dry taste of the forest still lingering in my mouth. The cold earth beneath me felt unfamiliar, and the strange pull of disorganized made my head spin. I sat up, trying to clear the fog from my brain, but my body felt sluggish, as if the night’s terror had drained all my energy.The others were already stirring around me, their faces pale with exhaustion, eyes wide with the same fear that had settled in the pit of my stomach. Tae, Rubin, Marianne, and Mark were all groggily rising to their feet, confused and disoriented, as if they had been pulled from the dreamlike haze of sleep into another nightmare.But this wasn’t the forest anymore. The familiar, damp trees had been replaced by something else something even worse.We were lying on cracked asphalt. The ground felt cold beneath my fingers, the dry leaves crunching as I pushed myself up. The sky above us was still a sickly gray, no blue in sight, just an oppressive overcast that seemed to suck th

Kai's POVThe cold, eerie silence that had fallen after the man’s departure was suffocating. I could feel the weight of the game pressing down on me, its invisible hands tightening around my throat. The notification on my phone had made it clear: we were out of time, and one of us was about to pay the price. My friends and I stood there, staring at our phones, the seconds ticking by like a countdown to our doom.I felt a bead of sweat trickle down my temple. The thought of sacrificing one of us, of choosing someone to die just to survive this hellish game, was too much to bear. I couldn’t do it. I wouldn't do it. But if I didn’t, who would? The game had us backed into a corner, with no escape.Then, a flicker of hope. Something in my gut told me that there had to be a way out. This wasn’t just some twisted game where we had to kill or be killed. No. There had to be another way another solution. I wasn’t going to let this game break us.“What if we don’t play by the rules?” I muttered,
