CHAPTER48
(Day 6 continued)
(Justin and Lisa watch Hanna, Juwon and the pinned down Julie from afar.)
LISA
So, Juwon was able to get Julie to confess that she stole the key card.
JUSTIN
Yeah. And it all went according to Hanna's plan. It makes you to think that those twins can really outsmart anyone. It even reminds me of a certain individual in an anime that I have been watching.
LISA
What anime is that…
JUSTIN
It's…
(Back to Juwon, Hanna and Julie.)
JULIE
You broke the walkie talkie?! Don't make me laugh. You were cuddling with Maddie saying that hearing scaring things after hearing some stupid horror story will give you nightmares.
HANNA
Oh, that was an act.
JULIE
And how did you know that I had the walkie talkie?
JUWON
Because I saw you having it. Cough! Cough! Cough! Then I told Hanna about it.
HANNA
Then we started formulating a plan to catch you.
(Earlier, Juwon, Hanna, Lisa and Justin were discussing.)
JUSTIN
What is your plan Hanna?
HANNA
We are going to make Julie fess up that she was the one who stole the key card.
LISA
And how? She is a tough cookie and won't fess.
HANNA
Juwon will be the one to make her fess. Juwon, your job is talk to her and make her talk to admitting into confessing the key card. You have to make her show that she is the one who stole the card.
JUWON
Got it.
HANNA
Lisa and Justin. Your job is to serve as witnesses. Julie will see this and realizes that she has been cornered and has fallen into the trap. After this, Juwon will have to drop out and I will become leader. My name shall be written in the key card and not Juwon's. We will make Julie as a catalyst of Juwon's insane plan that he said earlier to make Class D win this exam and get the million credits.
JUSTIN
So, Julie was the missing equation.
HANNA
She was. She indirectly caused her class' downfall and made our class to win.
LISA
…
(Back to the present.)
LISA
Now, that I think of it. Everything was moving according to how Juwon predicted and Hanna did the improvisation of his insane plan. Just who are they?
(Back to Juwon, Hanna and the pinned down Julie.)
JULIE
So, that's how it is. I was nothing but a pawn in your game.
HANNA
Well, you were the missing equation to make this plan work.
JULIE
So, you are the mastermind and not your brother.
HANNA
It depends on who you think the master mind is. It could either be me or Juwon.
JULIE
What are you going to do now?
HANNA
I'll keep you around in our camp. For the mean time, you are forbidden to get out of camp till the exam ends which is tomorrow. And witness how your Class C fail in this exam. Lisa and Justin. You can come out now.
(Lisa and Justin come out.)
JULIE
…!
HANNA
You have realized it by now. These two are now the witnesses. And they will keep watch over you.
JULIE
Fuck!!!!
(At night, Hanna takes Juwon to Ms. Shelly.)
SHELLY
What's wrong with Juwon?
HANNA
He has a high fever.
(Ms. Shelly checks his forehead.)
SHELLY
I see. Then he has to drop out.
HANNA
And one request….
SHELLY
Which is.
(Hanna hands her the key card.)
SHELLY
Very well. Consider it done.
(Day 6 comes to an end.)
(Day 7 arrives as the students are now at the beach side from Classes A, B and D. Class A and B have all students. Class D. there are half students and Class C only Scott shows up. The ones who dropped out are told to go back their respective classes at the beach.)
KEN
I would like to thank you all for participating in this survival island exam. Even though, most of you decided to drop out. But that is okay. Because that wasn't the important of the exam. The important of the exam is to identify the leader of the other classes. You were allowed to use various methods like sending spies walking and exploring to other classes' camps and so on. You were also tasked to protect the key card as the leader together with your class so that other classes can't find it and know who your leader is. And with that let me announce the results. With the bottom class.
JAKE
It's probably Class D.
SCOTT
Hehehe!
KEN
Class C with 0 Credits.
SCOTT
Huh?!
KEN
Followed by Class A with 0 credits.
JAKE
…!
KEN
Class B have 0 credits because they guessed one leader wrong.
ALICIA
So close.
KEN
And the class who'll get a million credits is none other than Class D. they were able to guess the other classes' leaders correctly.
CLASS D
Whoohoo!
SCOTT
Fuck!
JAKE
How were they able to figure out? We carefully made sure that no one was able to find out.
EREN
What are you going to do? Alice had put her faith in you in passing this exam. But to think you put Class A almost at the bottom because you formed an alliance with Scott.
KEN
That's it for today. You can head back to the cruise ship and relax and have some refreshments. But be on the alert as another special exam might be announced.
(At the cruise ship. Scott kicks the wall.)
SCOTT
Fuck! How did we ended up being outsmarted?!
JULIE
…
SCOTT
You know something don't you Julie?! You were a spy that I sent you.
JULIE
I did as you asked me of it. And you even confirmed that Kim Juwon's name was written in the key card.
SCOTT
Did that mother fucker actually bait us into thinking that he's the leader? Or did he plan it out? It was like he actually predicted our movements and also figured out my plan? And also, there must be another one who improvised this plan of his. Who could it be? This must person must know Kim Juwon very well. Like a sibling?
JULIE
He has a twin sister. Her name is Hanna Kim.
SCOTT
Hanna Kim eh?! Hehehehe! This has become interesting. Very interesting. I knew I applied to the right school and left my boring ass country. South Africa.
(Meanwhile, Jake meets with Alice Shinomiya who's playing Chess solo.)
JAKE
Sorry for letting you and Class A down, Shinomiya?
ALICE
It's okay, Jake. Even though, you formed an alliance with Class C. you ended up being outsmarted by Class D. but question is how were they able to figure out that my name was written in the key card and not Robbie's.
JAKE
That I do not know.
ALICE
Hmm.
(She observes the chess board.)
ALICE
I see. So, that's how he did it. He was able to figure it all out by observation. And he did it on Day 1 when the exams officially started. Who was the name written on Class D's key card?
JAKE
Kim Juwon.
ALICE
And you still got it wrong. From what I've heard. This Kim Juwon announced himself as the leader of the Class D. why did he do that knowing that it was risky?
(Lisa meets with Juwon and Hanna who are watching the waves.)
LISA
Are you feeling better now, Juwon?
JUWON
Yeah. I took some medicine and now I feel better.
HANNA
His fever is now low. But he still needs to take some medication. You have some questions, don't you Lisa?
LISA
Of course, I have. What the 2 of you did to make our class pass this exam was something impossible?! Especially you Kim Juwon. Your plan sounded insane but you were able to pull it off. Earlier you said, "my plan is simple. I am going to announce that I am the leader of Class D and show the key card to as proof." It sounded insane and you made the entire class to think that you have gone nuts. And lose all hope. Tell me, what made your plan that seems to be impossible to achieve possible.
JUWON
Who's going to tell her?
HANNA
Explain one bit. And I'll explain the rest. Lisa, Juwon's plan had 2 phases. The 1st phase was…
JUWON
The first phase of the plan was like this after I told you guys that I'm going to announce myself to that I was the leader and show the keycard to everyone as proof. You guys started saying that I had gone insane in a way I predicted in what you were going to say. So, I had explained further details of the plan so that you could understand and get along with it. Before, I announced myself, I had to go to other classes' camps and find out who their leaders were. For Class A, I was able to deduce that it was Alice Shinomiya and not Jake or Robbie because before the exam started, I saw Jake talking to Alice Shinomiya. He had his head bowed low to her. So, I theorized that she could be the leader. Which turned out to be true. For Class B, it was obvious it was Alicia because her classmates put their trust in her. Class C, this is where it got interesting. When we went there, I saw a walkie talkie. And that's when I knew Scott was the leader and what his plan was. It was to plant spies and figure out who the leaders. It corresponded with my plan and I was able to carry out the plan. I borrowed the loud hailer from Mr. Ken and climbed a cliff where I could see our camp, Class A's, B and C's camps. And made my announcement. To my predictions, each class started making their moves. Classes A, B and C fell into my obvious trap.
LISA
But Class C dropped out then.
HANNA
Yes, they did. However, not all dropped out. That is Scott and some of his spies.
JUWON
He had carefully formulated his plan to find out if what I said was actually true or false. By putting Julie as a spy to confirm. Which was what I had predicted.
HANNA
Now, this is where phase 2 of Juwon's insane plan starts to begin. In this phase, after Juwon announced himself as the leader. His role as the leader is now over and now it is time to change.
LISA
That is true. But then he said that he had to fake an illness in order for his leadership to be transferred to you.
HANNA
Yes, and how to do that was very simple? Juwon had told me that night he saw Julie with a walkie talkie and suspected that she might be contacting with Scott. Apparently, Scott didn't drop out like Juwon had predicted. Which turned out to be true. Of course, he couldn't get into Julie's bag. So I was the one who entered into the bag and confirmed that Julie was contacting with Scott and destroyed it. Since, Julie wasn't able to contact with Scott. She became desperate and would start looking for a way to get the key card. So, I had to take off my clothes and put the key card as bait for her to steal it. Juwon would then tell her that I needed help in carrying the bucket so that I could bathe in the bathroom. When Julie carries the bucket to the bathroom stall. She would then bring me my clothes and would see the key card in which she stole it and presented it to Scott.
JUWON
Just as we predicted it would happen. So, I had to bathe in cold water and became ill so that my name could be changed in the key card and Hanna's name would be written in the key card.
HANNA
Everything went accordingly to what Juwon and I predicted would happen.
LISA
Damn. you literally read everyone as if they were a pawn in some kind of chess game.
(Juwon and Hanna smile. Their eyes become cold and dangerous.)
JUWON & HANNA
That is because everyone is a pawn in our little chess board.
LISA
[That's when I knew that these twins are dangerous if you side against them. But if you side with them, they might help you succeed.] I gotta say, the 2 of you have extra ordinary abilities. One might even think that you have super powers. But there is something that I want to ask you. Let's make our class the lowest class in this school to reach Class A.
JUWON
…
HANNA
Sure, let's do that. After all, that is our goal.
