Y/N'S POV

Now Jun-Ho and I along with many other workers walk through a tunnel towards the next game.

I notice coffins behind that look strangely familiar.

When we arrive at the game area the positions are assigned. Unfortunately Jun-Ho and I are not in the same position—not yet, at least.

My task is to distribute the cookies for the game called Dalgona while Jun-Ho will wait until the game ends to take the dead bodies away.

After the game is over I will also be assigned to remove the dead bodies.

So that means people are really getting killed in these games.

"Good luck and don't get caught" I whisper to Jun-Ho over the headsets as quietly as possible so no one hears me.

"You too. Take care of yourself and maybe keep an eye out for my brother" Jun-Ho replies.

"I will" I manage to say before moving to my assigned position.

"We will introduce the game now" announces the voice over the speaker.

That's the signal for us workers to open the doors for the four symbols: Circle, triangle, star and umbrella.

I stand by the umbrella door and two other worker open my door.

"Please take a can" the announcer says.

I start handing out a can to each player who stands by the umbrella symbol.

As I do, I try to see if any of these players could be Jun-Ho's brother.

The game begins and the players start cutting out the shapes from their cookie.

I stand there and try to find Jun-Ho's brother or anyone I might recognize.

Where is Jun-Ho's Brother?

I only recognize Gi-Hun Seong.

I want to ask him if he knows someone named Hwang In-Ho but I can't. Other workers are nearby and I don't want to get caught. That's the last thing I want.

The triangles monitor the players to see if they pass or fail. Those who fail are immediately disqualified—and killed.

The first people are already disqualified and people are actually getting killed just as Gi-Hun Seong reported.

Some players do pass the round though. The announcer only announces the player who pass.

All I can do now is wait for the game to end as more and more players are shot.

While I watch, Jun-Ho is already inside the game area and is searching for his brother.

Is that Jun-Ho?

I can't recognize him because of his mask but I think it's him

What is he even doing here?

Another worker scans him.

"Number 029" says the square.
