HyeJin POV -

my head hurts. It hurts, like a bad headache 

'wake up, wake up and you'll survive.'

I jolt up from a nightmare, it didn't feel real but I was in a room with hundreds of other people. ' I can't remember anything. why can't I remember anything!?'  I think to myself panicking trying to find my phone. my clothes were changed by someone which gave me a gross and disgusting feeling. I was in a teal jumpsuit with the number 066, with my phone no where to be seen.

flashback

I was waiting for a van to come get me. They said that I would get money for playing some children games. I needed the money for hyein and Heeseung. My siblings. Heeseung (older brother) already works 3 jobs and hyein is still in school. I can't do much while I just graduated. But I try.

The van arrives and I give the person the password. When I climbed in I found several unconscious bodies laying there. Before I could get out the gas had started and I blacked out.

flashback ended.

"fuck." I mutter under my breath. I've been kidnapped by people in a red jumpsuit and a black mask for trying to get easy money. How could I be so dumb? Now Heeseung and Hyein were probably wondering about my whereabouts. 

Everyone was awake now. All wandering around trying to find a way out or at least a reason why they were there. 

"YOU PATHETIC MORON!! I CANT BELIVE YOU!" a loud feminine voice rang through the room as a group of people crowed around them. I was a teen girl looking no older than 18 and an 18 year old boy fighting. (I aged ni-ki up bc I feel weird having a minor in squid games sorry.) one having the number 067 and the girl having the number 299.

 "SAYS YOU HANA, YOU LITERALLY CHEATED ON ME." The boy fires back at the girl. I immediately knew who the girl was. She was pale and had cat like eyes with a small nose. 

Hana Tanaka. my high school bully. Who bullied my older sister to death

my mind filled with rage at the sight of her, pushes through the crowd to see the boy on the ground and Hana stepping on him. I push her to the ground and step on her rib cage. "your the bitch who bullied my sister, aren't you?" the girl try's to pry my foot off her torso as a cries, while struggling to breath. 

a man in his mid 40s with red hair comes up and pushes me to the ground. "ARE YOU CRAZY OR SOMETHING!? YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HER!!" 

"that's the whole point." I mutter under my breath as the other people pity Hana and try to take care of her. I go over to the boy who was bleeding from his head and quietly wiped the blood off with the sleeve of my jacket. 

He looks at me with a sharp gaze as I stand up to leave. why is this kid even looking at me? I think to myself as my gaze lands on the opening doors. 

The guards have the same outfit with different masks. They explain everything and take us through an odd stair case.

It was vibrant but still depressing at the same time. we line up in one line with guards in between us. Then I feel a light scratch on my palm before it turns into a stinging pain. I turn around to see the same boy looking back at me blankly. he smirks when he knows that I know what he did. I turn back looking at my hand which has a line that's slowly turning a red in multiple spots. he cut my hand.

I grip onto my pants as an attempt to make it stop bleeding. Then they make us stop at a room with cameras. 

'Smile!' the screen shows as they take our pictures one by one. I smile into the camera as I continue to tighten my grip around my pants. it stained it with blood, but the bleeding was going down. 

they then split us up and put us into a dark room. I was confused to the point were I was frustrated at the fact that I was confused. everyone was pushing and shoving. someone pushed me into a someone's chest. "sorry" I mutter as I can't see who is next to me or behind me. 

the doors opened to a field with a giant doll at the end of it. It was sunny to the point where it hurt my eyes. 

An AI voice rang through the room. It explained how the game would work. First game is red light green light. Shouldn't be that hard.. right?

The Doll turned her head to the wall and began to sing a song. 

it quickly turned back to see a short woman falling as she had lost her balance.

a gunshot rang through the room. 

'player number

two hundred 



ninety 



eight eliminated.'

everything stopped. It felt like the whole world stopped. a deafening silence filled the field. a man then screams running to the doors which then is followed by several other which then turns to hundreds screaming and running to be set free.

In the huge commotion, I fall.

 This is how I end I guess. Death by a giant doll in the middle of no where with a gunshot through my head. I think to myself already accepting my fate.

But there was no impact.

I open my eyes to see the number 067 holding me by my waist to balance me. it was the same boy who slashed my hand. "don't move." he enunciated as we heard the last gunshots before complete silence. the voice explains the rules again before the doll turns away to face the wall again.

several rounds go by. 

each killing a 1-5 people.

I get closer and closer to the finish line. with 1 minute on the clock I cross it, the same time as Hana and the boy. 

I could have died, among the other hundreds that had a gunshot through them. but I didn't



all thanks to that boy.
