A story set in season 2/3 of squid game. After surviving his first attempt to uncover the truth behind the deadly Squid Game, Hwang Junho is more determined than ever to find his missing brother. He knows he can't do it alone. So he seeks out Kang Eunha, a mysterious woman who once survived the Games and disappeared without a trace. Eunha doesn't want anything to do with the Games. She's haunted by what she did to survive. But when Junho convinces her that together they could take down the people running it-and maybe save others from the same fate-she agrees to help him. She knows how the Games work, how the staff think, and how to stay alive. She returns to the island as a curious vip who wants to join the games, along with the frontman she had no idea was Junho's brother. Junho is snuck in by Eunha as a guard again but now, a guard with worth. As they dig deeper, trying to find Junho's brother and uncover the truth, they realize the new version of the Game is even darker and more twisted than before. At first, Junho sees Eunha as just a way to complete his mission. But as they face danger together and depend on each other to survive, his feelings begin to change. He sees how much pain she's carrying and how strong she is underneath it all. Slowly, he starts to care for her-more than he ever expected to. Now, Junho is no longer just fighting to find his brother. He's fighting to keep her safe. And if anything happens to her, he's willing to bring down the entire Game, the people behind it, in fact the whole world just so she's safe, no matter what it costs him. ◯△□ Start date : 22/07/25 End date : ???

No one shines like Kang Hyeji. Black hair cascading like ink, side bangs soft against a face so breathtaking it could still time. Dusk-dark eyes, long-lashed and luminous. A profile sharp as a secret. A smile trained to dazzle, though it often forgets how. She dresses like a dream born from old money-pearls, pressed skirts, whispers of privilege. Beautiful in the way wars are waged for. Haunted in the way only the lonely are. But beneath the poise is guilt-quiet, sharp, and cruel. She didn't kill the boy she once called friend. But she didn't save him either. Then came Kang Ha-cold eyes, unreadable thoughts, a transfer with secrets stitched into his silence. He wasn't meant to fall. But her gaze made forgetting too easy.
