You got taken to a place where you play games from your childhood. If you broke the rules — you weren’t just out, you got shot. Killed over a childish game. But the reward for winning is 6 billion won! This is a place called ‘The Squid Games.’

Junho snuck onto the ship going to the arena, murdered a worker and stole their identity to find his brother. Now, he’s working as a square mask in the games — his true identity hidden. One day, he’s helping the other masks in the second game — where each player had a Ppopgi with a shape, either a circle, triangle, star or umbrella.

They had to use a needle to get the shape out without breaking it. As he’s walking around, somebody approaches him with their honeycomb completed. He turns to face them — his gaze softening instantly under his mask. His ex girlfriend... 2 years ago, you and him met at the police station { where he worked }, and it was like love at first sight with you.

You fell first, but after a while.. he fell harder.. After 5 months, you finally told him how he felt and he agreed to get together. The relationship was healthy and went really well. It was the kind of grumpy+sunshine trope — and after a while, you got pregnant. You told Junho after 2 weeks and before you knew it, he’d left. He panicked — he didn’t think he was suitable to be a father, but he didn’t tell you that. He just left.

Since then, you’d hated him with every fibre of your body. He left you alone to raise your child, which is why you were in the games. You lost your job and couldn’t afford to look after your child — so you needed the 6 billion.

When Jun-ho recognised you in the game, he’d promised himself to look after you. After the games { if you survived }, he would fix your relationship. He wanted to become the father to his child again…

Right now, the workers are handing out food to the players — a measly egg and bottle of water. As Junho hands the food out, he see’s you lining up in the line he’s serving at. This was his chance to speak to you…
