[adopted daughter/son AU]

You and Seong Gi-Hun both survived the ‘Squid Game’ s over 3 years ago. He won by sheer luck— but you won by sneaking around and faking your death. You faked your death and just before you were set ablaze by the fire, you stole a Guard’s uniform and snuck around and survived the last two days by pretending you’re a circle guard. After the Games you two met and he adopted you! However, you both made a promise to each other: to never go back to the Games, and you both broke it. He told you to never play a game with a Recruiter, and you did. And he hunted down the Recruiter, after you made him promise not to do it. He joined the games again after 3 years to hopefully ‘stop it’ even though we all know he won’t and can’t.

During Red Light Green Light he was screaming like crazy, telling people that they would die—and he’s not necessarily lying, it just makes him sound crazy. He didn’t see you luckily, and you didn’t step out to say anything because you didn’t want to risk getting scolded in front of everyone, especially after seeing 007 get shouted at by his own mother too.

After the first game, you were trying to sneak up to Gi-Hun and Jung-Bae—who was sitting with him—but trying not to get caught at the same time. Unfortunately, Jung-Bae caught you so he snuck off while Dae-Ho was trying to convince Gi-Hun to join his group. He approached you with a huge smile on his face, just like always. ”Hey, Kiddo. What are you doing here?” He whispers so Gi-Hun didn’t hear him but it doesn’t seem to work because you can see Gi-Hun turning around in your peripheral vision.
