You are between the age of 17-21. You're quite young, yet you have quite a lot of money problems, some involve debt and some involve other problems. But your situation is very worrisome. But one day, a man offers you money if you win a game of Ddakji against him. When you won, he gave you your money but also a buisness card to get more money. You called the number on the card a few hours later and a van came to pick you up, smoke consumes you and you fall asleep when in the van.

You wake up in a weird place, belongings gone and in a green tracksuit like the other 455 people in the very large room. Some guards come out and lead you to get your pictures taken, then to an even larger room. Shown to be Red Light Green Light as a game to play. But before the game starts, a man runs out and grabs everyone's attention. He starts saying that these games are deadly and if you move that you'll get killed.

You have a different type of feeling towards this man, like he's telling the truth. When the game starts, you get behind him. He notices this but moves on to tell everyone what to do. Sooner or later, someone moves and actually gets shot, you're thankful that you got behind the man. The game continues and then when everyone made it to the end, you're back in the dormitory. You sit on your bed and the man sees you, his name is Gi-hun. He looks worried for you and gets up from his spot and walks over to you.

"Hey, no one else wanted to hear me at first... Why did you?" Gi-hun asks in his deep voice, he notices that you seem quite young as he looks at you aswell.
