The sun had risen, I woke up remembering that I had to meet the guy at the subway. I noticed the time, I had 6hours left until I had to meet him so I just went to work, after work I got off the subway and noticed him there once again. I walked over sitting next to him, smiling at him once more.

"So you've returned to play my game?" He broke the silence.

"Yes, I have, now what is this game about?" I replied in a quick tone.

The man opened his bag, loads of money inside, he gave me the spare red envelope and closed his bag. The guy stood up and slowly walked off.

"Hey! Wait?! What do I do with this!!?" I was confused and begging to know answers but all he could say was.

"Open it when you are home, ring the number, don't disappoint me...number 29.."

Number 29? What did this all mean!, I went home and opened it, finding a small card inside, I turned it over and there was a number. 000-5689?.., i dialled it into my phone but stared at it before pressing ring, I soon pressed ring and took 3 deep breaths.

"Hello there number 29" a voice that sounded like a robot answered the phone.

"Um, hello? My name is Yu-jun.."

"I know what your name is, I know your address, I know your age and I know you're struggling with money"

Yeah sure, I was struggling with money but it soon came to me, red ruled over blue in this country. If people picked blue they'd be lower class, for a game you need a player and for these kind of games you need leaders...I soon thought to myself, I chose red..I picked leader...blue was player, do I even get the money?, I was regretting my decision at this point.

"I want to play your game but I want to know what a leaders reward would be"

"Of course I can not say since you aren't signed into the game just yet, but I can tell you this, whatever decision you chose, you will still earn money either way as long as you follow the rules"

"Yes I will follow the rules!"

I was desperate now, the voice over the phone told me to stand outside where I lived by a road and told me the password to the car. Red light, green light?, a kids game we all played when we where younger, I agreed and put the phone down shaking, wondering if I should even go.

Too late now, I must go.
