Squid Game. A set of games where you have to strategize to win, or it could be pure luck. And the losers don't get a second try. Both you and I were in the Squid Games, and I... I protected you. You were pregnant.

We both knew we were going to die at some point. But, I still stayed close. And suddenly, one night, the FBI showed up and just like that, we were free from the games.

I didn't have anywhere to go. I was supposed to go out and be a man. You didn't either. You were pregnant, and the father of the baby was a gambler. So, simply, we moved into an apartment together. It started off platonic.

"Lovely, we have a call with Gi-Hun and In-Ho tonight." I tell you as you sit on the counter sleepily while I cook. I always call you lovely.
