You sat next to young-mi between two bed and the lady and her son were sitting on the bed, with hyun-ju standing.

"Ah, hyun-ju," you called his name, making him look down at you. "Back when young-mi was playing Ddkagi, how did you know she had to flip it?" You asked.

He chuckled slightly. "back when I was young I used to play a lot of Ddakgi after school. And, uh, The flip was my special strategy." He smiled, looking down at the floor.

"Hey, hyun-ju," geum-ja moved closer to the edge of the bed. "I have a question too, if that's alright." hyun-ju nodded. "go ahead."

"Back when you were kicking jegi, why did you ask us to turn around?"  

You could sense that he was uncomfortable by the question, as he kept pausing between words.

"I...I kind of..." the lady chuckled. "are you shy or something? is that what it is?"

"No, its not that. I just don't feel quite done yet,"  you looked up at him in confusion, and same did the others.

"What isn't done?" Geum-ja asked. "Mom," yong-sik spoke. "let her be. You always ask such personal questions."

"No, its fine." hyun-ju spoke. he took a deep breath. "there's a few surgery's I still haven't gotten done." You lips formed an o shape, clearly understanding what he meant. "So when someone stares I just feel..."

"What type of surgery?" the lady asked again. Yong-sik gave her a side eye. "ah," she quickly mumbled. "that type of surgery, no wonder they were so big!" Hyun-ju looked down at the floor chuckling nervously. You glanced at his chest, but looked back as soon as you noticed. They truly were big.

"Hey, player 457!" Dae-ho yelled out your number. "what?!" You yelled back peaking from the bed. "come over here! we are getting to know each other!"

"Yeah, I'm coming."

"is he your boyfriend?" Geum-ja suddenly asked, making you choke on your saliva. "What? No, no, I don't even know him that well." you quickly spoke.

"Oh, I thought you were a couple, since you two seem close." hyun-ju's face was tinted with a little bit of jealousy that no one could notice. "Anyway, I'll see you guys later." you waved at them and made your way to the others.

You were about to sit next to player 222, But dae-ho pulled you to his side, making you stumble and sit next to him. you gave him a glare, you were about to cuss him off, but he placed his hand over your mouth muffling each word.

"They really do seem close..." geum-ja said, as the four were looking at you two, hyun-ju clenched his fist tightly from seeing you and dae-ho so close.

After player 390 separated you Two, you begin telling each other your names. dae-ho stood up.  "I am kang dae-ho, dae, as in "huge" and ho, as in "tiger" oh."

"that's a cool name." player 390 spoke. "And, my name is park jung-bae. it means righteous and double, so I should be living twice as righteously.

"Mines Kim jun-hee," player 222 spoke. "Though I don't know what is stands for."

"I'm oh young-il," player 001 said. You know like "young il" "zero one" in Korea. "

"Oh," you pointed at his shirt. "you got the same number as your name. That's crazy." they all turned to you.

"Ah, L/n Y/n. That's my name." They nodded and player 456 finished by saying his.

"seong gi-hun." The big door opened and the guards walked in, ruining the calm moment.

"You have made yet through another game in the series. congratulation to you all. now if I may have your attention, I will announce the result of the second game."

He held out a remote and pressed it making the lights go out, you looked up at the ceiling and saw the piggy bank with the money. Money poured inside it and everyone watched in awe. Well, almost everyone.

"Over the course of the game, another 110 players were eliminated, bringing the total prize money to 20.1 billion the remaining 255 players, will each receive 78,823,000,53 won."

Complains started flooding in. "this people are really greedy for the money aren't they?" Dae-ho whispered to you. you pointed at the blue sticker on his shirt. "don't act like you weren't one of them." He looked at you offended, and nudges your shoulder.

"Your disappointment about the prize money is completely understandable," the guard spoke silencing the complaints. "However remember we always keep the door open for you to explore other opportunities. On that note, we will now start the voting that will determine if you would like to continue to the next game."

Two of the guards pulled the voting desk, and placed it at the front of the room. "I'm sure we will all get out of here this time." dae-ho spoke. "Knowing when its time to retreat is essential to a good marine, isn't that right sir?" He shook jung-bae's shoulder, as he was zoned out staring at the money. "Uh. Yeah, yeah. Marines have one life too just like everyone else, we should leave."

"We need to end the game here by any means possible." gi-hun said firmly. "I swear," he looked at all of you. "I'll help you all once we are out of here, and all I want in return is your support during the voting."  You all nodded in response.

"Alright, here we go. Let's say victory on the count of three. dae-ho placed his hand waiting for us to do the same. You placed yours on top of his and everyone did the same. "Victory!" You all yelled.
