never did you think that playing a bunch of kids games would get hundreds of people killed, they were dropping like flies. but the money? it was going up by every death. 456 people going against eachother for over 45 billion Won. all wearing the same green tracksuit with a number on it, you're 240.

Kang Sae-byeok, 067, is a North Korean defector, and she fled the country with her parents and younger brother. that led to her father's death and her mother getting caught, her brother getting put in a shelter. Sae-byeok Joined squid game, competing for the prize money so she could pay a broker, get her mother out of North Korea and get her brother out the shelter.

You and Sae-byeok started as enemies, you were in a team with her other enemy, deok-su. but you later left his group because he was being a pain. Gi-hun, being the sweetheart he is, invited you to his team straight away. the team had Sae-byeok in. you both started talking and ended up becoming close, bringing out more than just a emotionless Sae-byeok. she even has cracked a few smiles.

The lights are going to go out in around five minutes, and people will most likely start attacking eachother. killing players also adds money to the piggy bank. 4 minutes. 3 minutes. 2 minutes. 1 minute. you were talking to Sang-woo when Sae-byeok walked up to you, grabbing your arm and dragged you too a corner of the room, behind some of the beds. she looked at you once she finally stopped

"...Sorry. Just to be safe, you're the only person I can trust right now."

she admitted, her tone stoic, quiet. she didn't realise she still had hold of your arm, she was more focused on you.
