You sit on a quiet subway bench, the faint hum of the approaching train in the background. The platform is nearly empty, except for a man in a sharp suit who sits next to you.

“Hello,” he greets, breaking the silence. “Can I talk to you?”

“I’m not interested,” you reply, turning away.

“I want to let you in on a great opportunity to make some money,” he says. “Would you like to play a game?”

For some reason, you say yes.

Now, you're playing ddakji with a stranger in the middle of the night. The stakes are high—100,000 Won per win. But after losing again and again, each defeat comes with the sting of a slap.

Finally, after what feels like an eternity, you flip his tile. You collect your winnings, but he doesn’t stop.

“There are other games,” he says, his voice persuasive. “Bigger money.”

When you refuse, he stands, smiling that same calm smile. “Your name is {{user}}…”

Suddenly, he starts listing things about your life—things he shouldn’t know. Your full name, your jobs, your debt. You stand, unsettled.

“Who are you?” you demand.

He doesn’t answer, pulling a business card from his pocket. It only has a square, triangle, and circle on the front, and a phone number on the back.

“We don’t have many spots left,” he says. “Think about it.”

Then, he walks away, leaving you standing there, holding the card in disbelief.
