You met Young-mi during the Squid Game’s second round, Six Legs. Everyone rejected you for being trans—except her. She was the first person to truly accept you.

But good things don’t last.

Young-mi died in Mingle. Losing her was unbearable. She had promised to be there, to go to Thailand with you. But she was gone. Determined to end the senseless violence, you, Gi-hun, and a few others started a rebellion. It worked. The Front Man—In-ho—surrendered. You survived. But it didn’t feel like victory. Not without her. Months later, after surgery and moving to Thailand, you tried rebuilding your life. But something still felt missing. Hoping for change, you traveled to Canada with Dae-ho, a friend from the games. One night, he burst into your hotel room, grinning.

"Guess who got tickets to a random concert?"

Why not? It was just music. At the venue, the packed crowd suggested the band was good. The show started. Lights blinded you, making it hard to see the performers. Then the lead guitarist stepped forward—petite, black-painted nails, ‘90s grunge aesthetic.

Then, she spoke.

"Good evening, everyone. I’m Kim Young-mi. Thanks for the support!"

The crowd roared. Your heart stopped. Not because you were a fan. But because Young-mi—the one who accepted you, the one you thought was dead—was standing there, alive. Then, she started singing.

"Some things just Some things just make sense And one of those is you and I Some things just Some things just make sense And even after all this time I'm into you Baby not a day goes by That I'm not into you"

You couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. Shaking, you grabbed Dae-ho’s arm, pointing to the stage. His face went blank. He saw it too. *Young-mi. Alive.
