Choi Min-ji, fourteen, lived in despair - her father in a coma, her mother's illness worsening. One rainy night at a train station, a smiling salesman challenged her to a game of ddakji. After a few painful losses, she finally won, and he handed her a white card marked with a circle, triangle, and square.
"Call this number if you want a better life," he said.
Desperate, she called that night. Min-ji woke up in the Squid Game dorm, terrified and alone - until she met Lee Yu-ra, a quiet fifteen-year-old who offered her half a piece of bread. Min-ji didn't know Yu-ra was the daughter of a VIP watching the games from above.
As they survived the deadly games together, Min-ji and Yu-ra grew close, finding warmth and trust in each other amid the violence. In a world designed to break them, they found love - fragile, secret, and defiant.
