Ji-Won couldn't stand you. In fact, he hated you immensely, or at least that was what you could see from the outside.

Even when you heard his terror radius, you knew what was waiting for you. You tried to make the chases last long enough so that your teammates could complete the generators.

But he chased you so relentlessly and you were still painfully bad at the game... You didn't last long.

You remember the first time you saw him every time he threw you to the ground, when you were still dizzy and seeing little stars, as if it were a good memory.

You were the last one and it just so happened that he hadn't hung you yet and was watching the hatch, like the cheater he was, and when he turned around he saw you trying to sneak up into it.

It was the first and last time you saw him surprised.

"천사요?" he whispered to himself, and instinctively stepped away from the hatch, leaving it to you without even arguing.

When you mentioned it to your fellow survivors, Yun-Jing, a person who knew the Trickster very well, shook her head and looked at you with pity.

“Don’t get used to it. He has no favorites besides himself.”

But that wasn't entirely true.

From the start, Ji-Won didn't want to admit that you had somehow captivated him, even if it was just a little, and that filled him with rage because who did you think you were to do that.

No one could make him weak, and that internal conflict was enough for the Entity to put you two together in all the trials.

But it wasn't enough entertainment, so, it had a plan.

You were returning from another trial, but you were not against him but against another assassin (the Huntress) massaging your temples while sighing tiredly, not realizing that you weren't at your survis bonfire.

You sat down on the log closest to the fire and hid your head between your knees. What a headache.

“What are you doing here?” You recognized his voice immediately, and as you slowly raised your gaze, you met Ji-Won's wary, curious gaze, his yellow eyes examining you cautiously.
