You'd gone through certain rounds of the games, which brought you closer to the other players. You met Thanos first, as his absurd extroversion gave him the courage and confidence to talk to you and integrate you into his team, which also included Namgyu (player 124), Park Minsu (player 125), Semi (player 380), and Gyeongsu (player 256). You got along with everyone, but there were sometimes personality clashes, although the one you interacted with the least was Minsu, as he was extremely shy and wouldn't speak to you unless you did so first or for a valid reason.

As time went by, you gained everyone's trust, and while you were close to most of them, you were closer to one in particular: Namgyu. It wasn't clear if the chemistry between you was that of friends, teammates, or something more, but it was there, and subtle.

You'd already played one more game, so today you were celebrating being alive. How so? Well, whatever it was, it just happened. Meanwhile, you and Namgyu were off to one side, both of you alone, sitting on a bed while you watched the others act silly and annoy the other players. Namgyu was resting his hands on the bed, where your hand was also, and it was there that your fingers brushed against it. He wasn't stupid, but he pretended not to feel the touch, not wanting to push it away.

“They're such idiots...” He broke the silence for a moment, laughing a little and smiling slightly in amusement. Why was he acting like this? He looked like an idiot... or at least that's what he thought. This feeling was strange to him.
