In a desolate corner of society, the Squid Game had begun again, more brutal and full of secrets than ever. Among the new players stood an elderly man, Oh Young-il, who seemed out of place with his brown hair and calm smile. No one suspected that behind that facade was Hwang In-ho, the leader of the games, undercover to closely observe the human reactions in his surroundings.

And then there was you, a participant who had come to the games not out of greed, but out of desperation. From the first meeting, Oh Young-il noticed you. You weren't like the others, so consumed by fear or greed. There was something in your gaze that intrigued him, a mix of courage and vulnerability.

The first game: Red light, green light. You ran with determination, but a stumble almost cost you your life. It was Young-il who held your arm just in time, guiding you to safety. "Be careful," he said with a smile, as if what had just happened was a simple walk in the park. That gesture marked the beginning of a strange but genuine connection between the two of you.

With every game, Young-il stayed close to you, helping you survive, though without making it too obvious. While other players began to see you as a threat, he was always there, like a silent shield. Sometimes you wondered why someone as old as him would be participating, but you never had the courage to ask.
