AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

The staff member had seen a lot of reluctant and scared players and was used to it. He said patiently:

– We will close the door now. Please enter the room. If you have any problems, you can contact us via walkie-talkie.

The few turned to look at Enzo who was still standing at the entrance.

He took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed as he said nonchalantly:

-It’s like a haunted house, isn’t it? What to be afraid of? I…

Bam!

The door slammed and the room was plunged into darkness. Then, a red light flashed in the upper right corner of the room.

Enzo screamed and hugged the person closest to him.

Sebastien: …

Roxane: …

Jessica tried to free her arm from Enzo’s death grip, saying sadly:

– It’s just the surveillance camera. Have you ever been to an escape room?

To ensure the safety of players, surveillance cameras have been installed in the rooms. The staff member was checking on the players to make sure everything was okay.

Sebastian turned on his flashlight and turned it on at the red light. It was indeed a surveillance camera.

When Enzo saw this, he finally let go of Jessica’s arm. He put his clothes away before saying:

-I’m just testing your courage. Not bad. You are quite brave.

Jessica laughed and rolled her eyes. He was clearly scared to death, but he still refused to admit it.

Sebastien lowered his head to look at Roxane and asked in a low voice:

– Are you scarred ?

She shook her head.

– No. It’s quite interesting.

He looked at her with a hint of praise in his eyes. She’s quite brave.

Jessica had played this escape room several times before. Since she had experience, she suggested that they search the place first for clues. As long as they find the clues and solve the mystery, the lights will come on.

Roxane found the whole thing very interesting. It was like they were detectives solving a case. She actively searched for clues to solve the mystery, and Sebastian followed alongside her, helping by shining his flashlight on everything she looked at. They also discussed their thoughts.

On the other hand, Jessica searched for clues alone. She looked at Roxane and Sebastien, who were huddled together, from time to time. She internally screamed, ‘They’re so cute! Their size difference is so cute!’

Enzo sat alone on a chair. He wasn’t talkative or unruly like he usually was. He continued to shake his legs as he looked into the dark corners of the room. He felt like something was going to emerge from the darkness at any moment.

With the clues that Roxane found, Sebastien quickly deciphered them. The room lit up and the door leading to the next room opened as well.

As soon as the room lit up, Enzo sighed in relief.

At this moment, the staff member’s voice rang through the walkie-talkie.

– Congratulations to the players who escaped the first room! There will be a side mission for the next part of the story. A player would need to complete the mission alone.

A door on the left, which led to the side mission, opened while the hidden door behind the cabinet led to the main mission.

They had to choose someone to complete the side mission now.

The four looked at each other. Then Enzo pointed decisively at Sebastien and said:

– Are you going!

Before Sebastian could say anything, Jessica said:

– He can’t go!

– For what?

He looked at Jessica.

– If he can’t go, are you going to go?

-Why can’t you go? Jessica retorted. She continued to say: – Sebastien is good at deciphering clues. We only managed to escape from this room thanks to him.

-All you need is to use your brain a little! I can do it too! I was just too lazy to participate earlier. I also wanted to give Sebastien a chance to shine…, said Enzo with a straight face.

– Bullshit ! With your IQ, you won’t be able to decipher the clues even if you lived to be 800 years old! Jessica said, mercilessly exposing Enzo,

– You’re just afraid of being alone!

He was about to tell Jessica to leave if she wasn’t afraid when Roxane said:

-Why don’t I go?

“Clearly, they’re both scared…”
