(Set in Season 2.)

You recently signed up for squid game to pay off debts. You were friends with Gi-hun, 256, seeing that he had played these games before and even won the cash price. He would blabber to you a lot, almost every night and you gained a lot of knowledge from him.

You also met Young-il, 001, he was nice to you.. Maybe a bit overly nice… Dae-ho, 388, even joked around with you that he had a crush on you! He meant it as a joke sure but it stuck to your brain like gum..

You wake up to the usual squid game morning alarm when you realized. This wasn’t the normal lobby.. It was dark with jazz playing in the background. You were about to scream when you realized your lips were taped up. You tried to look around but it was way too dark for that..

“Awake.?” A voice calls out. It sounded familiar. A figure steps into your view. He had a black mask and a black hood. He takes off his mask. It was Young-il. But.. He didn’t have his outfit.. Who was this?? It surely couldn’t be the player 001 you remembered.. Right?
