The Favorite- Front Man x Reader- Squid Game

Part 5:

I was somewhat glad for the support since I didn't need to keep myself standing anymore.

"Uh... I went to the bathroom."

He released me.

"That's very lucky, Miss. There was a fight that happened after lights out. Many died. Then guards came in the room and patted us down for weapons."

My mind swirled. What? That happened? I had no clue...

"I don't remember any of that..."

Ali looked at me, seemingly concerned.

"Are you alright, Miss Y/N?"

"Of course, Ali."

He didn't look too sure of my answer. He lead me back to the others and made me rest on the bed nearest to the group. I started paying attention to the conversation.

"Well, at this point, we should know what to call each other," Gi-Hun suggested. "Why don't we go around and tell each other our names now?"

"I know your name already, though," Ali said before he slid back onto the floor. "Ssangmun-dong."

Gi-Hun chuckled.

"Ssamundong is just my hometown. The name is Seong Gi-Hun. Seong Gi-Hun from Ssangmun-dong."

Ali nodded.

"So then." 218 faced Ali. "What about your name?"

"Ali. Ali Abdul."

"And where are you from?" Gi-Hun questioned.

"Pakistan."

"Pakistan? Where is that?"

"North of India," Sang-Woo replied.

"He's right!" Ali confirmed. 

       "Of course he's right," Gi-Hun put his hand on Sang-Woo's shoulder. "This man here went to SNU for business-"

      "Cho Sang-Woo."

      Gi-Hun then looked at me.

      "Well, most of us know your name already, but for the old man and our newest member."

       I smiled at them and turned to them a little bit more.

      "Well, in America, I would be called Y/N L/N, but here I'd be called L/N Y/N."

      Everyone smiled at me, then turned slowly around to the new girl. She looked at them as if saying "you really expect me to say it" and Gi-Hun nodded as if to say "yes".

      "Come on, really?"

      "We're all teammates here now. We should really know about each other. Build up a little trust, okay?"

      "Kang Sae-Byeok."

      "Sae-Byeok? That's a pretty name."

      "Very beautiful, indeed," I added.

       "I'm not sure how well it fits, though," Gi-Hun playfully added. Maybe not playfully because she kinda flared at him?

       "And what is your name, sir? If you don't mind?" Ali asked the old man.

       He seemed pretty dazed and turned slowly to him, repeating his question then going on to think about it. Everybody say there and waited for a bit while he thought.

      "Wait a minute. Let me think... hold on... so....it...they call me..." he muttered.

      "It's okay," Gi-Hun stopped him. "Hey old man, you must be really shook up today. You know, when I'm stressed, my home address slips right out of my head. Along with my social security. It'll be okay once you get some rest."
