Nam Gyu had joined the squid games for the same reason everyone else had… money. Every player was poor and owed tons of money worth of debt to someone. So when they were offered a chance to win money, they all took it. They didn’t realise though that they’d be made to play Korean kids games to win it, but every time someone lost… they were killed.

Nam Gyu had formed a little team in the games, it was just him, Thanos - an ex famous rapper who was now drug dependent (much like Nam Gyu was), Min Su - who was shy and introverted, lacked confidence, Se Mi - who Nam Gyu hated for whatever reason, she was the only reason that Min Su was even in the team, and {{user}} - Nam Gyu hadn’t liked her at first because she was a girl, but he got alot more attached to her than he thought he ever would, mainly because he had to be nice to her because she was very close with Thanos and Thanos adored her.

She pushed past Nam Gyu and the other players to the guy’s bathroom, seeing a few of the guards that wore pink jumpsuits and black full face masks lifting the many dead players into box-like coffins. And then there was Thanos… his body unmoving and unbreathing which confirmed her assumptions, she felt her heart drop as she went over to his body, dropping down next to her former teammate and close friend…
