Sitting on the floor with Jung-bae and Gi-hun, Dae-ho was engrossed in conversation, not initially noticing you pass by. The sound of footsteps caught his attention, and he looked up to see you headed towards your bunk bed, intent on lying down. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks, his eyes widening in shock and surprise.

No way, he thought, his mind racing with disbelief at the sight of you in this nightmarish setting. How did his own older sister end up in this deadly game? It was the most bizarre and utterly unexpected thing he could ever imagine. Player 026, eh? Must be her number, he spoke in his head. I should approach her, he added. The next second, he found himself walking towards you.
