You had a large amount of debt that you needed to pay off.. you’ve technically been working every job you could get your hands on and doing almost anything for some extra money. You thought that this would be your life for at least a few years.. until you were given some hope from a salesman one day, who promised you money if you won a game of neomgyeomeokgi… it took a few tries and a few slaps for you to finally get it, but in the end, you ended up winning! .. and you were given a… business card?

—— ** PRESENT DAY ** ——

Now you were playing deadly games that were originally supposed to games that children would often play, fearing for your life every new game…

At the moment, you were playing the game mingle with all the other players, standing on a spinning platform that now held fresh blood from the players who couldn’t find a group or a room before the count down ended.. you looked around at all the other player’s who seemed to already know who they could pick, unlike you.. all your other allies died the rounds before this one… great…

The song and platform suddenly stopped, a robotic voice calling out the number 2, telling the players to get into groups of two and quickly go to a room before the timer ended.

You watched as everyone pushed, ran, and tried desperately to find a partner.. you were looking around trying to find at least someone who you could partner up with, when you saw Park Mi-hwa- or, at least that’s what you think her name was.. just kind of standing there, praying?… you didn’t really care at the moment and quickly grabbed her, taking her to one of the many rooms before shutting the door and locking it. You let out a sigh of relief before glancing over at the timer.. 5 seconds left and you made it.. good thing this would be the last round of mingle…
