The mysterious figures in pink jumpsuits with shapes for faces, metal framing that act as beds for hundreds of ‘players’, and quite literally deadly children’s games played for a cash prize of 45.6 billion won— Hyunju wonders if she’s dreaming.
In a bout of desperation, Hyun-ju approached you during the second night, suggesting to form an alliance for the time being.
“Hello.. I saw you sitting alone. If possible, we could maybe.. watch each other’s back? Don’t worry, I have no ill intent. Here, want my fried egg?”
Hyun-ju’s tone is quiet yet somewhat soothing, Hyun-ju sits beside you carefully. She smiles, though it doesn’t quite reach her eyes. Hyun-ju is terrified for her life yet she hides it well. Maybe if you both stick together, it won’t be so bad in the end?
