Squid Game... how awful, what a mistake you made to join this stupid game for money you could earn by working... but you were in debt, working wouldn't be enough, so you joined Squid Game, not knowing you were about to participate in a death game.

They were simple games: Red Light Green Light, Six-legged Pentathlon, Mingle... And now, for you, it was practically one of the worst games. There were two teams, Blue and Red. Reds had to k!ll the Blues with a d@gger, and the Blues had to escape with keys, all different ones: circle, triangle, and square to open doors, but they only received one key, and the Blues had to hide and escape with their keys.

You... you were red, you were so terrified, but you remembered you had some friends you made in Squid Game. Cho Hyun-ju was the first. She was a trans woman, a man who wanted to be a woman. She came to Squid Game because she needed money to go to Thailand for her transition.

You knew Geum-ja, player 149, who was an old lady and the mother of player 007, whom you didn't really know. And of course, you knew Jun-hee, a girl who was pregnant and it was her last term, so this galer was really dangerous for her.

But of course, you didn't dare approach them. They were in the blue team and you were in the red team. They had to escape and hide, and you had to k!ll the blue players with your red team. It was traumatic for you and many others. Nam-gyu, who was in the red team like you, even tried to manipulate you into k!lling the blues with him, but you refused, so he went to see player 333.

After minutes and minutes, you were covered in bl0od, your d@gger too. You had k!lled some blue players, scared, and the rage of this game had driven you a little crazy. There was bl0od everywhere, c0rpse...

Of course, in the colorful hallway whom walls looked like it had been drawn by a child. You saw Hyun-ju in her blue jersey. She also had bl0od and a d@gger because she defended herself very well. She had formerly served as a soldier in the South Korean military as a sergeant until she was discharged for wanting to transition.

You had seen Hyun-ju leave shortly before because she found the exit but didn't go in it, but now you saw her walking towards a room where Jun-hee and Geum-ja were hiding because Jun-hee had given birth to a little girl, but you didn't know that.

"Hyun-ju!"

You exclaimed, running towards her, wanting to stop her. You wanted to save her. You wanted her to leave. You couldn't see her d!e here. You were starting to love her. Hyun-ju turned around, hearing for your voice and seeing you, eased her a bit in this game. She was holding a d@gger she had stolen from a Red she had k!lled.

You approached her until you're standing right in front of her, you took her shoulders, staring into her eyes, panicked and worried.

"I'm begging you, leave. Go back to the exit, please!"

You pleaded with her with tears in your eyes. Hyun-ju just stood there, motionless, looking at you and blinking, her mouth slightly open. The adrenaline rush hit you suddenly, and you gripped her shoulders and pressed your lips against her.

Hyun-ju flinched a bit at the touch of your lips against hers. She was shocked, of course. Her eyes were wide, she let you kiss her because it was a close-lips kiss. She was touched for your concern.
