NOT FORGOTTEN || a squid game fan fiction.

the first game.

The girl was in debt. A whole lot of debt after her small business got shut down. 700 million won in total.

She was walking down the steps of a large metro station, when she finally reached the ground she began to look around, taking in her surroundings.

She was just looking around when a man approached her, he had a black suit on and he was holding a briefcase. She knew who he was though. And she knew what he was here for. "No." The girl said as she glared at the man stood before her.

"I haven't even said anything yet." The salesman said, his smile not faltering a single bit. "I already know what you are to say. And i say no." The girl said a frown appearing on her face.

"Well lets do this then. If you don't get the card to pop on the first try. I will leave you be." The salesman said, one of his brows arching up.

The girls eyes narrowed as she stared. "Okay." She said. "Good choice." The salesman said as his smile returned and he picked out a red card and a blue card from inside his pocket.

He placed the red card on the ground and handed the blue one to her. The girl took the blue card and stared down at the red one. Silently saying to herself she had to get the wrong shot. She took a deep breath before she threw the blue card ontop of the red one. *pop* , the red card flipped onto its back.

"Well done. Here." The salesman said as he grabbed another card, he then passed it to her before leaning down and grabbing the red and blue card. "You know what happens next. Don't you." He said before turning around and walking away.

The girl let out the breath she was holding in, she then turned around and sat down on a small seat in the metro station. She placed her hands on either side of her head and stared at the ground. "Shit." She muttered before letting out another sigh and looking back ahead of her.

The next few days were paranoia for the girl. Wondering when she would just wake up inside of the games. If she would. She was walking to her car, she unlocked it and climbed inside. She then locked the car again before she climbed into the backseat.

The girl then laid down, her head hitting the soft pillow which was placed on the backseat. She grabbed a blanket and placed it over her body before she closed her eyes. And fell asleep.

Her eyes began to flutter open, a light was making the whole room brighter than it should be. The girl sat up. Her eyes widened. Her face paled. She looked around and saw the familiar setting. The stacks of bunk beds. The confused people. The green tracksuits with numbers. She was back in the games.

At first she didn't believe it. She thought she was crazy. She placed her hands out infront of her , she then used her right fingers to pinch her left hand. She let out a wince. No this was real. She let out a shaky breath before she climbed off of the bunk bed, she then walked down the platform of stairs in between two stacks of bunk beds.

The doors then opened. And nine of the guards walked out. They stood on the platform before all of the players. The square guard was in the middle. All the players gathered in the middle of the room.

"I would like to extend a hearty welcome to all of you. Everyone here will participate in six different games over six days." The square guard began. The voice was slightly muffled due to the mask but very clear.

"Those who win all six games will receive a handsome cash prize." The square guard said before stopping. "Excuse me." Someone among the sea of players said, raising their hand. The player 120 stepped forward slightly from the very back. "You said i'd be playing games, but you practically kidnapped me. So how can I believe that" Player 120 said.
