The train took off, as you grumble in annoyance. You were suppose to get on but luck wasn't on your side, You now sat on a lonely bench waiting for the next train to arrive.

After a few minutes, you heard distant footsteps grow louder as someone sat next to you. The man looked over to your tired body as he placed his brief cast next to himself.

"Hello (ma'am/sir/other name), may I speak to you?

You turn your neck to look at him, he was handsome and had a expensive suit on. This might be a salesman trying to convince you to buy his product or something else.

"What do you want to sell me?"  You said with monotone voice, clearly not interested. The man cleared his voice before speaking, "I want to let you in on a great opportunity" You look at him for more then a second, his handsome facial features and fancy suit. "Oh yeah? And what is it?" You said with a slight humorous tone as you look back at the railroad in front of you.

"Would you like to play a game with me?"

You perk your head as he finishes his sentence, a game? Why would he want to play a game with you?

"What game? You scamming me of all my money? I'd rather lose it at a casino." You huff before you continue "You salesmen always have a cheeky way to convince people into buying-" you cut yourself off as he opens his brief cast, showing thousands of won with two different color ddakji

"Have you played Ddakji before (ma'am/sir/other pronoun)?"

You stare in disbelief that this man suggested he'd bet thousands of won just to play ddakji with you. He picks up two different color pieces of paper, neatly folded into ddakji squares.

"Play a few rounds with me please? Each time you win you'll get 100,000 won, but if I win you give me 100,000 won, Deal?"

You bargain with yourself as you stare at the money, that much money if you win a simple children's game? It sounds too good to be true. As you hear the man say he'll let you go first, you nod your head as he gestured the two different color ddakji in his hand.

"Which color would you like to play as?"

"Uh, red I guess."

You decide, as he chose blue after you.

The game begun as you played your turn, you failed in flipping it over as the salesman turn begun. The man nearly flipped it over as it nearly hit the center, after a few rounds of this the salesman won. Accepting defeat you began digging in your wallet, realizing that you didn't have enough won to pay him back.

You curse under your breath as the man took notice, shifting in place you began to speak "Look man I don't have enough money to pay you back, when I do I'll pay you back." You sigh placing your hands in your pockets.

"Or you can pay me with your body." The man said with a slight smirk.

"Excuse me?" He proceeded to slap you across the face. You stumble back and held your cheek. "For each slap, I'll take off 100,000 won." He smirked as he proposed.

You look back at him as you picked up the ddakji piece and begin playing again, after playing for awhile you ended up with 200,000 won and a swollen face. "I think its time we stop playing" The salesman suggested as you nod rubbing your cheek. The man proceeded to pull out a card with three shapes on it.

"We don't have much spots left, there's more opportunities to participate or work in games like these."

You stare at the card as the man walked off. Just call this number and win money? Sounds easy.

A few hours later.

As you lay restlessly on your mattress, you couldn't help but think about the salesman and the card. It was all so sudden, the man sat beside you, promised you money, you got slapped for 200,000 won. It was a good deal but you can't help but call the number on the back of the card.

809-407

As the phone in your hand rang as you mindlessly looked into the ceiling, is this a good idea? You didn't know. The call began as a mans voice picked up.

"Hello"

"Hi I'm calling from earlier, are you that salesman from the train station?"

"Yes I am. Do you wish to help in the game? If you wish please state your name and birth date."

"..I'm (Y/n) (L/n) and my birth date is (Birthday and Year)

A few minutes later

You stood on the side of the road as a van pulled next to you, a man in a pink suit and a mask with a circle on it looked forward with his hands gripping the wheel. "(Y/n L/n)?"
The man asked as you gave a quick 'yep' "Password?" You nod and clear your throat.

"New worker, I believe new worker is the password"

The door unlocked as you unlocked the door and stepping forward into the car. "When do I began working for this game thing?"

"In a moment, we'll need to get to our destination before working first." The man said as he began to drive, a hissing noise began as the backseat  seemed to fog. "Why is the car starting to..." Before you could finish your sentence, you knocked out as the man from before looked at you with a gas mask.

                                                                   

You woke up in a bed with white walls surrounding you, you sat straight up as you turned your head to see your unexpected reflection. Your hair a slight mess and your shirt different color and size from before. You notice in front of the mirror, a sink and a small desk area with a note left on it. In front of your feet a little row of hangers hung a pink jumpsuit with a circle mask, as you begin to stand up, you start to remember what had lead up to this point.

You gambled, got slapped a lot, got a card and called the number on it, got picked up and then knocked out by some sleeping gas.

You walked over to the sink and pick up the note. A circle, square, and triangle was imprinted on it. You tore it open and began to read it.

"Hello (Y/n) (L/n), we have invited you to help out for our game with cleaning, burning, and eliminating our contestants. We are very glad that you are participating. Do not leave the room you are in, a more experience member of our staff will knock on the door. Please put on the pink jumpsuit and mask that we presented for you."

You walked over to jumpsuit and began sliding it on, it was simple to put on but it wasn't very stylish but it would have to do. You slid on the mask as a knock could be heard from the door, you walked towards the door and opened the door.

A person with a square on their mask stood in front of you, a bit taller than you and also wore the same outfit as you. They motioned for you to follow them, as they began walking you struggled to keep up. Their long legs made it difficult. They eventually made it to what seemed like a training room, the person began to explain what your job was.

Burn, clean, and eliminate contestants

Though it was concerning and disturbing, you nodded your head as your trial began. The person lead you to a room full of dead bodies, instructing you to place a body in the coffins with a pink bow on  It em while others carried them off.

You needed some money.

And from that day on, you began working hard to please your superiors .
