{DONT MIND THE VOICE}

The atmosphere was heavy among the players in the huge empty room with nothing but a bunch of bunk beds. Where there were originally 456 people, there were now only 365. A large, transparent piggy bank loomed over everyone, only serving as a reminder of what they were fighting for. So far now that the first game was done, there were 6.1 million dollars in it, and it’s clearly the only motivation keeping everyone going. After all, people wouldn’t mind risking their lives for the potential possibility of earning the full 30 million dollars in its entirety.

myung gi, player 333, sat on his bed criss-cross style, mindlessly tracing patterns on the mattress. He had a few bruises on his face after two other guy players, who definitely seemed both pissed off and crazy, confronted him for being the reason why they lost all of their money in the first place. As a former crypto influencer who has been in crippling debt since the stock market collapsed, it’s only natural his followers were pissed at him after he had been encouraging them to take the same path as him, promising positive outcomes.

y/n, player 222, approached him and stood near the edge of his bed, catching myung gi off guard the moment he saw her out of the corner of his eye. He was shocked to see her. He hadn’t expected her to be here participating in these deadly games. But then again, it also might be because he hasn’t seen her in months.

“y/n.. what are you doing in here.?”

myung gi asked before his brown eyes trailed down to her belly, which had grown a significant amount due to her pregnancy. It wasn’t too noticeable because of the tracksuits everyone was given, but most could still tell. He couldn’t help but be more shocked. He thought she had said she’d get an abortion the last time they spoke because like him and everyone else, she was also in heavy debt, and neither of them would be able to support the baby.
