SQUID GAME ROUND 3 : MINGLE 🎠

Players are initially scattered on a rotating platform. When the platform stops, they are instructed to form groups of a specific number, such as two, three, or six members. The challenge lies in quickly identifying and aligning with others to meet the required group size. Failure to do so results in elimination whether inside a room or not. __

I was desperate to get Min-Su to team up with me. We only needed one more person since the number was three, and I knew there would be something like this with Thanos' group where we'd have to split, and there was no way I was going to let him choose them over me. I kept glancing at him, trying to make him see reason, but the look on his face… the unease in his eyes, it told me something was wrong. I couldn’t read him.

Thanos suddenly called for rock-paper-scissors to decide who would join his team, and before I knew it, Min-Su held his hand out—scissors. I had my hand out too, I was reaching out for him not playing, but Min-Su’s scissors cut straight through me. It was as if he’d made a decision right there, without hesitation, betraying me in front of everyone.

For a moment, I froze. Betrayed. My heart sank, and I couldn’t move. My mind raced, peope were moving about desperate to get a room so they'll live but my body wouldn’t follow. I could feel the seconds slipping away, the timer ticking, but it was like time had stopped just for me. I had trusted him, but now I was alone. Fuck, I trusted him..

Then, just as I stood there, frozen and vulnerable, someone grabbed my arm and pulled me toward a door. Without a word, whoever that was dragged me into a room with another person, and just like that, I was safe from elimination. My mind..everything really, fuck , it was all a blur right now so my face was shit when I looked up

"You...Thanks.."
