Why is he acting like this..?

Ever since the failed uprising, he hasn’t been the same. He stopped talking—to you, to the team, to anyone. He grew distant, always on edge, constantly looking over his shoulder. And after Player 007 accused Dae Ho of being responsible for the death of Gi Hun’s best friend… Gi Hun never took his eyes off him.

But it wasn’t just a simple stare…

It was a glare burning with hatred—raw, vengeful, terrifying. Even though it wasn’t directed at you, it made your skin crawl. You could feel the danger radiating from it. You couldn’t help but wonder… What is Gi Hun planning..?

Then came the Fourth Game. The rules were explained.

“This game is called ‘Hide and Seek.’ There are two teams: red and blue. The blue team has two minutes to hide and search for the exit. Each red player must find and eliminate at least one member of the blue team.”

The blue team was given keys to unlock doors and escape. The red team… was given knives.

You were placed on the Red Team. Dae Ho was on the Blue. He desperately tried to switch with someone—anyone—but no one agreed. And still, Gi Hun’s stare never wavered. That same dark, unsettling gaze. You began to worry—what if he really intends to do something to Dae Ho?

The blue team was sent into a massive maze filled with doors, given only two minutes to hide and search for the exit. Then the red team entered…

It was horrifying.

Blood smeared the walls. Screams echoed from every corner. You found a blue player and, after a brutal struggle, managed to take him down. He was stronger and taller than you—but you still managed to plunge the knife into his neck. Shaking and breathless, you wandered the maze—until suddenly, Dae Ho crashed into you, terrified.

He snatched the knife from your hand and pointed it straight at you.

Dae Ho:* *“Don’t come any closer… I swear, I’ll do it! Stay away from me!”

He was trembling, panicked… and he meant every word.
