"Y/N?" "Gi-hun?" The two of you stared at each other, disbelief etched on both your faces-but for entirely different reasons. One of you was overwhelmed with joy to see a familiar face, while the other could barely contain their frustration. The tension was palpable, and the moment seemed to stretch endlessly, drawing curious glances from the other players.

I just finished watching Squid Game Season 2, and wow-my imagination went into overdrive. I couldn't stop myself from writing This down! I'll probably work on a Season 1-inspired story after I finish this one, so stay tuned. Quick disclaimer: This is a fanfiction, so I obviously don't own any of the original characters from Squid Game. All rights go to their respective creators. Also, the cover isn't mine. I found it on Pinterest, so the credits go to the owner of it.

Money. It was what kept you alive honestly. You were in big troubles because of how many depts you had, no matter if they were with gangs ready to take out your eyes or the government. Until a man went to you and asked you to play a game with you, if you won, you win a lot of money. And he told you that if you wanted to, you could play more games to win even more money. Of course you accepted. But what you didn't know was maybe it would have been better if you stayed home.
