We found ourselves trapped in a chilling game known as Squid Game, each of us adorned in matching green uniforms, the fabric shimmering under the harsh lights. The stark white numbers emblazoned on our backs served as our new identities, stripping away our past selves.
Jun-Hee stood out among us, her uniform bearing the number 222. She was visibly pregnant, her round/small belly a reminder of the life growing within her, it wasnβt obvious because she was wearing a uniform.
The anxiety etched on her face mirrored the turmoil of the situation. Among the sea of players, I spotted her ex, Myung-Gi, who bore the number 333. His presence added an unsettling layer to the already tense atmosphere, as they shared a complicated history that lingered like an unresolved thread in the air.
We all stepped into a vibrant room filled with a kaleidoscope of colors, where each wall sparkled with an array of hues. Every individual in the group eagerly captured the moment, snapping pictures as if to freeze the joy of that enchanting space. It felt like a whimsical playground, both simple and extraordinary, with lively music dancing through the air, but it was creepy.
As we approached a vast expanse, our eyes were drawn to a towering doll standing majestically at the center. Its vibrant colors and oversized features made it impossible to miss. With an authoritative tone, the doll announced, βWelcome to the first game! Letβs play 'Green Light, Red Light!'" The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, and everyone stood at the ready, eager to participate in what lay ahead.
