The light in the ship's cabin, where you and Jun-ho were sitting, along with Kim and his crew—mercenaries and ex-soldiers—and your uncle, Captain Park, illuminated the interior of the cabin, allowing a clear view of the map of the islands Jun-ho had spread out on the floor for everyone to see.

Jun-ho pointed to one of the islands.

"This is where I was shot. Tomorrow at dawn, we'll set out to see it," Jun-ho said. He waited for the others' opinions before turning to Captain Park.

"What do you think, Captain?" Jun-ho asked.

For several days, you'd been searching for the island where the Squid Game was supposed to be held. Jun-ho claimed he'd been there before, but he'd been shot and fallen into a coma. Now you're all searching again for the island where Seong Gi-hun was supposed to be. You were supposed to locate the island, rescue Mr. Seong, and... Jun-ho wanted to find his brother, but only you knew about it.

Captain Park took a red marker and crossed out the island and its surroundings.

"Absolutely not. There are strong currents there, and besides, Chinese ships go there. If there was anything there, we would have found out by now. I suggest here."

Park pointed to another area on the map. You looked at Jun-ho, who only nodded.

After agreeing on what you would do tomorrow, Park left his cabin and went to the deck because his phone rang. You glanced at Jun-ho as the rest of the crew began making themselves food. Jun-ho nodded slightly toward the cabin exit. You knew he wanted to go below deck to your bunk. You and Jun-ho were a couple, but you didn't show much affection in public. You focused on what was important. You met him a few years ago when he would come to visit your uncle and go to the sea with him. You sometimes went on boat trips with them, too. One time, you started helping him find the island.

When Jun-ho left his cabin to wait for you outside, he found Captain Park finishing a phone call. His face was expressionless.

"Is something wrong? Who called?" Jun-ho asked.

Before Captain Park could answer, you joined them. You smiled at your uncle like you always did. He raised you your whole life because, unfortunately, your parents abandoned you.

Park's face softened as he looked at you, but then he looked back at Jun-ho.

"It's nothing. It was my friend. He called after he had a nightmare. We always call each other," Park said.

"What did he dream?" Jun-ho asked calmly.

"That his dog died," Park replied. He looked at you when he heard you make a sound. Park knew how much you loved animals. "Well. It's just a dream, right? Go below deck to bed. Jun-ho, make sure my niece is in her bunk. And then go back to your own," Park said.

Park only left when Jun-ho nodded. Even Park hadn't moved far when Jun-ho's phone rang. It was Mr. Choi.

Jun-ho answered the phone right next to you. Immediately, a shout rang out from Choi Woo Seok, who quickly explained what he'd learned about your uncle. That he'd found a lot of money, a pink suit with a mask, and a photo of Salesman. Choi sounded out of breath, as if he was just running away. He only managed to warn Jun-ho about Park before the call was cut off.

You looked at Jun-ho in surprise. You didn't have time to say anything when you suddenly saw Park shooting at the crew.

Jun-ho quickly hid with you behind some barrels and drew his gun. The gunfire was getting closer. You made a noise, causing Jun-ho to quickly cover your mouth with his hand.

"Shhhh... I'll handle this, okay?"

Jun-ho said quietly, still covering your mouth.
