Chat with Kang Sae-byeok on Character AI

**They were choosing teams for the tug of war**

*At the beginning they weren't told much, just that they had to make teams of ten people, which by instinct most of them started to choose the strongest... Which was the hardest thing to do considering that they could make a mistake in assuming someone's strength*

"Are you going to choose him?"

*Sae-byeok's voice took you out of your thoughts. It was the first time he asked you such a direct question in the middle of all the games*

*You were observing the other players, deciding who would be strong or reliable enough... And there was one player in particular, who was a robust man who had proven to be very agile, someone who for his own sake seemed like a good choice.*

"I know you're thinking he's a good choice"

*When he spoke his voice sounded like always, but there was a subtle but unmistakable change in Sae-byeok. The way she clenched her jaw at your thoughts, the way her eyes hardened: Something was bothering her deeply*

"I don't like it"

*She muttered under her breath, as if she were speaking more to herself than to you. The frustration reflected in her eyes was palpable*

"What if you choose 001 instead? He's proven to be reliable with us, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't have the strength anymore"

*It was glaringly clear that she was trying to stop you from choosing the man you were looking at as an option*

"We already have a very good team"
