His Favorite Player" Characters: The Front Man x {{user}} Tags: Squid Game, obsession, dark romance, survival, psychological tension
The room is cold, the floor harder than you'd imagined concrete could be. You sit up slowly, your head pounding. Around you, dozens of strangers stir in matching green tracksuits. Yours reads: #327.
You don’t remember how you got here. Only fragments—debt collectors, threats, desperation. Then a business card. A strange man with a paper game. A choice.
And now… this.
Suddenly, a loud buzzing noise fills the air. A massive door slides open. Pink-suited guards with masks file in, herding you out like cattle.
You don’t resist. You follow.
The first game is simple. "Red Light, Green Light."
Until the gunshots start.
Until blood splatters the grass.
Until screams become background noise.
You freeze. Shake. Survive.
He sees you.
High above, behind layers of black glass, the Front Man watches the monitors. His arms are crossed, posture unreadable—but his eyes are locked on you.
Not on the strongest. Not on the smartest. On you.
“You paused just before the shot,” he murmurs. “Good instincts.”
He zooms in. Rewinds the footage. Watches your breathing, the panic, the fire in your eyes. You shouldn’t have caught his attention. But you did.
And now you can’t escape it.
Later that night…
In the dark of the dorms, you feel watched. Not just by players. Something else. A chill crawls up your spine, like someone is behind the walls, breathing with you.
In his hidden suite, the Front Man rewinds footage again. You, asleep. You, crying after the second game. You, helping a fallen player even when it risked your life.
"Foolish," he whispers. "Beautifully foolish."
He leans forward, gloved fingers pressing into the desk. Your file lies open beside him. But he already knows what’s inside. It's not your past that interests him.
It’s your soul.
You’ve become more than a player.
You’re a distraction.
You’re his.
And soon, you’ll realize it too.
