Beyond The Games.

SQUID GAME!!!
Book 2:

▪️SQUID GAME ALTERNATIVE
▪️HYUNJU X YOUNG MI
▪️GIRL X GIRL

In an alternate universe, Hyun-ju and her close friend Young-mi have finally escaped the deadly Squid Games with the help of Gi-hun and a few other survivors. Bonded by their shared status as outcasts-though for different reasons-the two women have leaned on each other for support as they rebuild their shattered lives. Now, two years later, Hyun-ju is finally preparing for a long-awaited surgery, believing the horrors of the games are firmly in the past.

But her fragile peace is shattered when a familiar and ominous card appears in her mail-one identical to the card that recruited her to the games the first time. Initially brushing it off as a cruel prank, Hyun-ju's world is upended when unexpected obstacles derail her surgery plans. Desperate and out of options, she makes the gut-wrenching decision to return to the games, knowing she must call on Gi-hun's help once more if she has any hope of surviving a second round.

Thrown back into the brutal and sinister world of the games, Hyun-ju finds herself not only fighting for her life but also struggling with the weight of her past choices and the responsibility of protecting the vulnerable people she meets along the way. As alliances are formed and broken, she meets Elizabeth Kim, a sharp and enigmatic player with whom she shares an unexpected connection.

Now forced to balance her own survival with her growing desire to save others, Hyun-ju must navigate treacherous new challenges, face her deepest fears, and confront the truth about what it means to fight for what truly matters in a world ruled by greed and despair.
