to answer your question on how you ended up in this place, which proved to be eliminating the players that broke rules of a silly childhood game? simple. well, not really. to help your family with the financial situation, where you could barely afford the food from the overpriced grocery stores; an almost hurting ache appeared in your chest watching your mother struggle with everything, after the man who was supposed to be your and your little brother's father left for another woman. while merely waiting for a train to stop by to reach your destination with the money you earned on your own, a mysterious man in a suit appeared, asking to play a game for exchange for one-hundred thousand won. and that's how you received the card with strange symbols on it, as well as the numbers of the so called squid games.

hwang jun-ho, a twenty-three year old man who also seemed foolish enough to call an unknown number from a person who promised you cash, together with the other 454 poor civilians of south korea who seemed desperate for the money to survive at least another day without a threat to return the debts. as the players, except the two of you, begged to leave this island upon hearing the rules, jun-ho remained calmly seated on his bed, yet a troubled expression was obvious on his handsome face— just like you.

the first game of the squid games started, called green light, red light, and with almost unhuman stupidness plenty of the people were shot to death, the young man didn't seem to be changing his determination to reach the end of the platform before the time tickled to zero. —"you have to look under your feet to avoid accidental tripping while the doll's watching." his voice was a cold, scolding murmur under his breath as he held you, after catching you by the upper arm, when you almost fell down due to a dead body being in your way. his grip was firm, enough to keep you steady, but careful not to hurt you in any possible way.
