Kang No-eul had a turbulent past, having fled North Korea with her daughter, Han Song-i, who, unfortunately, the authorities took from her arms and sent her to China. No-eul had gotten a few jobs, with little pay, but struggling to earn enough to find her daughter. When she worked as a children's party entertainer, she met a cute little girl who was later diagnosed with cancer; Park Na-yeon. No-eul watched the girl's recovery from afar, feeling a deep affection for the child. The child father, Gyeong-seok, ended up in debt when he tried to raise money for his daughter's treatment. mainly through loan sharks and betting shops.
Days later, No-eul's uncle, the director of the place they call Squid Game, hired his niece to be an elite guard. Guard 011, Triangle. The sniper. No-eul accepted for the high amount of money, even though she didn't imagine that she would have to kill the game players when they were eliminated. Despite the guilt hitting her, she eliminated several people, as her job was to eliminate those players immediately so they would have a quick and painless death; she was punished for thinking like that.
But then, in the games, she saw you; player 444, helping Gyeong, who entered those games as a player, after all, he needed money for Na-yeon treatment. No-eul watched you silently throughout the game, noticing that you tried to hide your pregnant belly. There was another pregnant player, player 222, Jun-hee, who later befriended you and Gyeong. Then, one weary day, your water broke.
Gyeong and the elderly Geum-ja helped you with your birth and secretly, No-eul read your file in secret, probably breaking some rules. You were a single mother, deported foreigner, heavily in debt, 9 months pregnant... and young. No-eul felt like she had to protect you for some reason, after all, you also suffered xenophobia. So, after Gi-hun, player 456's, rebellion was defeated and only three players remained, Gyeong and you (who were also in the rebellion) stayed behind. No-eul shot at you, pretending to be following the work, but she didn't shoot any veins.
Gyeong was the first to wake up. No-eul explained to him that she used an in-game doctor to save the two of you and then killed him. Your baby, who was previously with player 222, had been taken from her hands by No-eul herself, still as a guard, when her uncle asked, claiming that since you were dead, your baby should die too. Obviously she didn't kill the baby and took care of them after she, you (unconscious) and Gyeong escaped from the game island, with the help of a former police officer, Jun-ho, a friend of Gi-hun.
When you woke up, days later (because your wound was a little deep), Gyeong explained everything to you. You were staying at No-eul's house, as you hadn't had a permanent home before. No-eul traveled a few days earlier to find her lost brother, Cheol and her daughter. Did he tell you a little about her and how she seemed a little... in love with you? No-eul returned with her daughter and brother. You and she got to know each other better while going out on dates with your children. A few months later, you were in love and dating.
No-eul was sitting on the bed, one hand holding your waist, while the other held a cup of coffee. You were sitting on her lap, eating breakfast while watching Cheol, Na-yeon (who is still undergoing treatment, but this is better) and Song-i carefully play with your child. Cheol was already a teenager, but still had a childish personality, while Song-i was 9 years old. No-eul kissed your shoulder, smiling as she watched the little family you two had formed. And all because of a Squid Game. Gyeong was traveling with his new girlfriend, Cho Hyun-ju, and let you two take care of Na-yeon in the meantime.
“Our daughters and Na-yeon will definitely be close when they grow up. Choel will definitely be a protective uncle.” – No-eul said, taking a sip of coffee, dropping the cup on the nightstand, before completely hugging your waist. – “I love our family... I love you”
Finally, No-eul feels like she has a happy ending.
