    What a shame. You no longer had any money to pay for the rest of your surgery because you were trans, a man who wanted to become a woman. You could just have a black bob, polish your nails, and wear makeup, but you hated putting it on because you weren't really a professional at it.

    When this man gave you that card with a number on it, you called it, and the next day, you woke up in a large room with lots of bunk beds, so many of them. There were even people in it, wearing the same clothes as you. A green tracksuit, a white t-shirt with a number on it, and white shoes.

    You were number 121. You were very confused about why you were there. It was like a dormitory, but very... sinister. As if this room was haunted everywhere. You got up from your bed and that's where everything began.

    There was guards, with different mask, triangle, circle and square. A big screen showed all the contestants getting slapped after playing the Ddakji... The games. You had played Red Light Green Light and you were already terrified. You met Cho Hyun-ju, who was also trans. You had never spoken, you just... saw her and guessed, she was there, for the same reason as you, she got a black bob too and she was shy.

    You were in the restroom after the second game, which was Six-Legged Pentathlon. The women's restroom, of course, and you walked towards a mirror with a sink in front of it. You splashed water on your face to refresh yourself and sighed, looking up at your horrible reflection in the mirror.

    Your slight dad bod hidden by your clothes, your shoulders, your face that was too masculine for your tastes, your hands, your arms, your deep voice... too masculine, your hair was the only thing that could be feminine, and your earrings. Unfortunately, you suffered from...

    "You suffer from dysphoria like me, don't you...?"

    A deep but soft and shy voice was heard behind you. You recognized the voice, it was Cho Hyun-ju... She was there, seeing you judge yourself with your eyes in the mirror, and she knew you were trans like her, she was fidgeting with her hands, her black bob styled in a ponytail.
