Cho Sang-woo (218) x reader (Squid Game)

Chapter 2- Teams Built From Trust

Everyone walked into this large white room, with a staircase leading to a lower part of the room.

Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces, looking all at one another like little kids trying to find their parents.
     "Everyone! "Welcome to your third game. You will all be in groups of 10, so pick your groups," the speakers announced, and then they repeated, "Everyone! Welcome to your third game. You will all be in groups of 10. Pick your groups. "
218 looked at you from across the room, shook his head, and moved towards a couple of men, consisting of the numbers 456 and 199, and 001. In their group was a young female, looking to be about your age. She was beautiful, alright, one of the most beautiful women you have ever seen. She talked to 218 , and every time you saw them talk, a twinge of jealously flew through you.
218 nodded his head at his group, and they spread apart, searching through the room to find other players.
If 218 didn't want you, you didn't want anyone. He was going to pick smart and strong men, like everyone else. He wouldn't pick you even if you were the last player standing.
   
    Soon, everyone was in their groups. Everyone accepted you and a slim lady with curly hair. She was with the guy who had the tattoo running down his neck, so you figured you wanted to stay away from her.
     That didn't last for long.
     She came and greeted you. "Ha! Looks like someone got left alone. There are spoiled grapes in the bowl! Let's go find a group hun."
     She tugged you by the arm, and immediately grasped your wound. The woman sighed and continued to pull you.
     Your eyes were closed from the pain, but you heard words from the woman. "Hi guys! Two extra members right here! No need to worry. These two young girls have nothing on me! " Your eyes opened and you saw she had made her way to the group, with 218.
Your eyes widened. "Sweetie! Sit down, there's plenty of room!" The curly haired woman tugged you down, and you fell on 218. All you could do was look the other way and twitch.
      Remembering what he saw last night, he gently grabbed your side, avoiding your wound, and helped you sit upward.
      "Umm... thank you, sir," you said awkwardly. The man next to you, 199, looked at you two and chuckled, "Don't call him sir, I tried, and he didn't like it," he joked.
218 shook his head and looked at the young female who was in his original group. "Told you to bring only men." He said sternly. She shook her head. The girl who she brought sprung up, revealing the number 240, and cried. "If you guys don't want me here, I can just leave." The man showing 456 shook his head with a smile. "It's alright, don't worry about it."
        The curly-haired woman pointed at you and number 199, saying, "You two are not from anywhere near here. What are y'all doing in Korea? I mean, yeah, it's fun here, but damn, it's too populated.
"My name is Ali, I'm from Pakistan. I moved here for money and a better life for my wife and child," 199 said and looked at you. You rolled your eyes and spoke, "My name is (Y/N), I'm from America, and I moved here for a better life for my baby."
     218 looked at you baffled, "You're a mother? How old is the child?" You darted your eyes at him and answered, "Yes, he is five, I had him at 20."
      He nodded. "You're 25, you're so young."
      "What are you talking about?!" The curly haired woman yelled. "I'm 19! That's young, and look at how much I can do!" You all looked at her with blank faces, and she looked down.
     "You will begin your third game shortly! Everyone, follow the guards to your next game, "shouted the speakers.
218 looked at you, and your torso. He helped you get up, and looked in your eyes with a comforting look. "I will do my best to help you get through this, okay?" He said
You were fully up and smiled at him. "Thank you, 218." His mouth opened, addled, "You know, call me Cho Sang-woo. Your name is (Y/N)?" You smiled sweetly, "yes, Sang-woo."
   He nodded with a straight face. "Let's get to our game." You're expression fell to a saddened look. "Yeah, let's go."
     You two walked fast to catch up with your group, and once you walked through the doors, you couldn't believe your eyes.
