<><><><>

    Yuri stopped the car infront of the bulding, and the staff tald us to wait inside the car till the rest of the team comes. Yuri is indeed a fast driver.

    "Excuse me" Taeyeon opened the door and stood outside beside the car.

    Yuri looked at her shocked "Is she serious? It's freezing outside and she's wearing only that shirt" she said surprised,

    "Well that's her you would never understand her" I said looking at her, she was leaning on the car with her arms crossed

    "Go give her this," Yuri pulled extra jacket from the back and put it on my lap

    "I can't go to her when I'm still like that" I said referring to my emotions.

    She took the jacket "Girl you two have a lot in common, I can't understand you too. Don't you like this girl?"

    I looked away "I don't know"

    "God~ I will go get something out of her" She walked out to the other side and gave Taeyeon the jacket, the cold girl smiled and took it without saying a word. Why she's like that only with Yuri tsk, can she be friendly with me too without suddenly changing her mood for no reason?

    Yuri looked at me and put her tongue out then she stood beside her.

    Two second past and Yuri couldn't handle her quietness, and the freezing weather "Wouldn't be better if we sat inside" she said

    Taeyeon smiled looking at her "It's fine, you really don't have to stay here with me" she said

    Yuri shook her head "No, no I don't mean it like that. I mean by it if you stayed out here like this you will get sick; the car is warmer" she explained,

    Taeyeon rubbed her own arms, with her head down covering her chin with the jacket collar, "I can't sit in the car for too long...trauma" she let a nervous giggle

    I saw how Yuri suddenly shifted her standing position then I heard her sayin "Oh?! Trauma?" she was taken back,

    Taeyeon nodded "Yeah, my dad died in a car accident" she moved her hand up "Don't apologize, there's no reason for you to do that" she told her, and Yuri rose her eyebrows completely shocked by the blonde girl attitude towards the situation.

    After she felt what I always feel, she nodded then said "But you drive a car, don't you? Doesn't it like make you feel...you know what I mean"

    "Of course I drive a car, I'm not going to let a trauma control my life and the way I live it. Even though sometimes it's scary and my brain will start bringing and playing all the memories and images over and over again but I have to fight them all so a can continue living. That is the past and if your past is not accepted by you, then you will never be able to have a future or even a present"

    Yuri clapped "Exactly," then she looked at me before continue her talk "That's exactly how people should think" She lift her hand up and Taeyeon high fived her while laughing.

    I couldn't help myself, so I pulled the window down and all the cold wind came in, "So you two are friends now?" I asked annoyed, they looked at me all smily.

    "Friends? I want to date her" Yuri said giggling, I know she's teasing me but I want to kick her .

    Taeyeon let out a very loud laugh, her head back and her hands are clapping out of joy. I raised my left eyebrow surprised, I looked at Yuri and she was laughing too

    "Enjoyed it much?" I asked amazed of how this little thing made her laugh this hard,

    "No~ It's just that..." she waved her hands trying to catch her breath "She's so~ straight" still laughing, she said pointing at Yuri

    "And how did you come with that conclusion?" Yuri asked

    Taeyeon wiped her laughter tears, then looked at Yuri "I just feel it when I look in someone's eyes," she said

    "Oh right, what's that called..." she snapped her fingers trying to remember

    "Gaydar" Taeyeon said giggling

    "Yeah is that even real?" Yuri asked

    "Yeah" Taeyeon answered

    "Really" Yuri face popped out surprised

    Taeyeon laughed "No I'm just kidding, gaydar is so stereotyped"

    "So it's not real?" let down, she said

    "No but some people are good at reading people so it's eassy to catch things and be right"

    "And you are one of them" I asked her

    She smiled to me "Kind of, more of stay quiet and study people"

    That makes so much sense

    "Well you got me right" Yuri said

    "Not very right at the end uality is fluid" Taeyeon said smirking

    Yuri smirked "Ohh what are you telling me? What did you just read in my book" Yuri said making her laugh again. I'm actually enjoying seeing her like that,

    "Okay okay, leave my book" she held Taeyeon's arm and pointed at me "What do you read?" she asked her

    She is smiling so wild while looking me in the eyes. And here she light the fire inside me...

    "Read, read, read" Yuri whispered in her ears. She couldn't hold herself from laughing.

    "Come on tell me something~" Yuri cried

    But before she says anything, the PD arrived and he called Taeyeon.

    "Excuse me" she said then walked to him.

    After she left, Yuri opened the door for me and pulled me out to stand beside her, "I realized something" she said,

    "What?" I turned my head to her but still looking at Taeyeon

   "Taeyeon took her jacket off" she whispered

    "Yeah because that tall guy spilled water over her"

    She held my face and made me look at her "Focus" she snapped her fingers infront of my face "It's the jacket that have her nametag on" she said, and my eyes went wide. She opened her eyes wide imitating me "Yeah!"

    "Oh my God" I walked straight to the staff and asked where her jacket is. The camera man turned the camera on and said that he has to film this part, immediately after he heard my question. The girl who followed Taeyeon to the bathroom when we were in the restaurant brought the jacket and gave it to me. I slowly ripped the nametag and the Ace showed right out of the bat. I looked at Yuri who was smirking. I took the Ace and was about to put the nametag back to the way it was but a realization lighted inside my head,

    "I'm looking for Aces to put inside the other members nametags, right? Taeyeon already have one...why would I take it if I will have to put it back in? It's already there, so that's 11 out of 12" I said

    Yuri hit her forehead "Exactly"

   I put the ace back and before I close it another realization popped out "Wait, wait, wait" I took the ace again "There are two nametags, on her shirt and her jacket. If there's Ace in her jacket nametag doesn't that mean she has another Ace inside her shirt nametag?"

    "Oh my God...yes, she was only wearing her shirt when you got the hint" Yuri clapped

    "So I have to take this one and let ger keep the other one" I said putting the Ace with the one I took from her locker

    "And you should make sure her nametag doesn't get ripped off" she told me and I nodded

    "The first hint I got in the maze was an Ace under coffee cups. I found the other two but I didn't see them yet"

   "Open them now better since Taeyeon is not here" she said and I took out the two envelops. I opened the first and it said

 ' Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her; but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game. - Voltaire '

    "What the hell? What's Voltaire?" Yuri looked at me confused

    "You mean 'Who's Voltaire?' he's a French writer so I guess have to find a book of his" I cleared things up for her

   "Okay genius"

    I put it aside and opened the second one

 'No closed door is actually closed when it comes to the Queen'

   I put the hint down "So I have to look for closed doors, right?"

    "I saw on Running man before, there are so many closed doors that point where the end of the nametage space is, like there are some places they are not allowed to enter and the doors are usually closed" Yuri told me and I kept that in my mind. Yet all I'm thinking about at this moment is how am I supposed to leave and run away from Taeyeon to find the Aces without her knowing.

     When everyone came, The PD explained tp them that they have to go on a search for the cards from Jack and down to insure their safety in the last game of cards. At the same time, they have to know who's the Queen before I collect the Aces and replace their cards. I also must make sure that my nametag doesn't get ripped and Taeyeon's too since she has an Ace under hers

    They put the teams away from each and luckily they put us in the office, where there probably are a lot of coffee cups, which means my Aces.

    "Honestly best thing to do is to stay away from the other teams and just find two cards lower than the Queen" Taeyeon said rolling her sleeve

     "What about the hint they gave you?" I said, drooling, watching how breathtaking she looks just doing the simplest thing ever

    She looked at me confused, "What hints?" she asked with her head tilted.

    As far as I remember the PD did tell me that every time we win my partner will get a hint about where she can get the cards. I looked at her and she seemed so confused, "Nothing, nothing" I took back what I said and she just shrugged.

    We walked around in the office looking for any card or hint of any sort.

    "Are we allowed to drink from this?" Taeyeon asked the VJ, pointing at the water cooler. He nodded to her, "Do you want water?" she said and I nodded, why not. She took a cup from the plastic cups that are stacked aside. I looked around and saw couple of coffee cups on some desks. As I was about to leave her and go see under them, she said "Ace?!"

     I immediately turned to her, surprised. She gave me the cup of water and then lift an Ace card, "Where did you find it?" I said trying not to give her something to question

    "I Don't know it was on the floor" she turned the card and looked at it "Maybe it was under the cup and fell when I took it, but Ace? What does it mean"

    I started to get nervous and my palms are sweeting, "Doesn't the Ace in the heart game higher than the Queen?" I said

    "Not sure, I can't remember" she kept looking at the Ace suspecting something,

    "Can we google it?" I asked the VJ and he shook his head

    "Well it won't work, since it's higher than the Queen" she put it on the table, and I just wanted to go take it, "You know what..." she said then took the Ace "Better keep it, it might be lower like worth one and not 13" she took the water cup form my hand and put the Ace in its place. She pourd water for her to drink.

    I looked at the Ace then put it inside my pocket "You are right" I said walking away from her towards the desks on the side, where I saw the coffee cups.

    I lift the cup fast before she comes and found an Ace card, I put it my pocket then turned to look at her before going to the next one. Taeyeon put the cup down then walked to the desks on the other side. I lift the other cup and took the card then walked to her like there's nothing. She lift her head up and looked at me, and I acted like I'm looking around then my gaze fell at the book on the first desk beside the door, it read Voltaire. My my eyes shined and my legs went straight to it. I opened the book and it directly opened to the page where the Ace is, I took it and put it in my pocket.

  "Is that Voltaire?" Taeyeon said scaring me, so I uncontrollably closed the book and looked at her.

  "You like him?" I asked, breathing in and out to calm my fast heart beats.

  She walked to me "Yes" she said "I love his philosophy and his advocacy of freedom of speech" she said and I looked at her amazed. Is there one thing this girl can't do? Like she got it all, she's beautiful, smart, breathtaking voice and perfect singing, has amazing talent, and a attitude. But wait can she dance? Should I ask her? No Tiffany no, it's not a good time to ask this question.

  "We should keep going " she said, yes exactly we should.

  We walked out and we are standing in hallway couple of doors on left and right. At the end of the hallway there's the elevatort.

  "Should we enter all of them?" she said not wanting to do that

  "Probably" I put my and on the door handel beside me and tried to open it; the door was closed. I turned to look at her but the door slightly opened and someone inside held my hand and gave me a card. That was terrifying...God

  I turned to look at Taeyeon but she wasn't there. "Taeyeon!" I walked straight while trying to open each door. The last three doors are open, guess that was the only closed one.

  "There's nothing here" She walked out from the door infront of me. "We should go down to the pain floor" she said pressing the elevator button.

  While we were waiting for it to open "Are you that cold?" she asked pointing at my hands inside my jacket.

  "Yeah" I lied, I'm just trying to protect my Aces

  The elevator door opened and the three guys were inside. "You guys are everywhere" Taeyeon took a step back and I held her hand. No I'm not taking advantage I'm just scared of them.

  "It's fate" the tall guy said,

  "Are you going down" the old guy pointed his index finger down

  "No" Taeyeon walked backward to the door beside the elevator, with her eyes still on them

  "Where are you going" the tall guy walked toward us.

  "We are talk the healthy way" she opened the door to the stairs exit and made me walk before her. She let the door go for the camera man to walk after us. I walked down fast then looked behind me to see if she's there and she was.

  "Those guys creep me" I said when we started going down the stairs slowly.

  She laughed "They do it on purpose, don't let them intimidate you" she said that and we heard Kwang Soo's voice saying where did we go...

  "Now tell me he's not creepy" I whispered then started running again.

  She was still laughing when we reached the first floor. I walked in front of her, shaking my head while deep inside I'm more than happy to see her having a good time.

  I stood beside the wall looking left and right to see if there's anyone and as I popped out my head I saw Jongkook and Solar; they ere standing here and I can see couple of cards in their hands

  I tried to see what are the cards in his hand. He was choosing one of the cards while talking to Solar. She then turned and he took her name tag and put the card they chose inside it. After he put the nametag back to its place, she did the same putting a card under his nametag. that means they are safe now and they only have to know who's the Queen. Someone have to take their nametags so I can change the card with and Ace.

  I looked one more time at them and it was a bad choice; his eyes met mine and I freaked out when he started walking towards.

  " " I turned and walked super fast back to Taeyeon who was looking around, "~" I cried and she looked at me surprised.

  "What's wrong?" she held my arm

  "Jongkook is coming" I said looking around for somewhere to run to. There's the way I came from but Jongkook is coming from there and the stairs where the three guys are.

  "Did he see you?" she asked, and I nodded then took her hand and ran to the door that have 'Only staff' on it. I opened the door and it was full of boxs and cleaning stuff. I turned to the camera man

  "Act like you are fixing your camera" I told him then pushed Taeyeon in and closed the door

  I kept praying they won't open the door and that they will just pass. We heard Kwangsoo screaming Jongkook's name then foot steps came after it which lead to

    "Kwangsoo is out"

  And Taeyeon couldn't
