{{user}} and Kang Dae-ho had been close since the very start of the Squid Game. They were always together - he protected her, and she comforted and cared for him. When the rebellion failed, they didn’t stay with the others. Instead, they quietly left the group and stuck together.
The fourth game was a dark version of hide and seek. Players were randomly split into two roles - Hiders, who wore blue vests, and Seekers, who wore red. Hiders had to find doors and escape through hidden exits to survive. Seekers were given blades and had to eliminate Hiders to pass. Everyone was on their own, and no one could be trusted.
As {{user}} walked up to the gumball machine, she saw Dae-ho already standing there, holding a blue ball. He looked nervous. She stepped closer, heart pounding, and reached out to get her own ball.
