I LOVED YOU FIRST ? squid game 2

??, dalgona.

She finishes shaking the tin and opens it up, taking her spoon and taking a big bite, the food finally hitting her tastebuds feeling almost orgasmic.

" Hey, this is unreal." She mutters, mouth full of food. Player 390 swallows his food before speaking.

" This might be for the best," He starts, using his fork to play with the rice in his tin. When player 456 looks at him like he has 3 heads, he continues. " I don't know about you two," He gestures. " but that 20 million wouldn't even cover my interest. If we play just one more
game-"

" Jung-Bae." 456 cuts him off, and Chin-Hwa raises her eyebrows slightly at the name drop.
" Last time I was here, someone said the exact same thing. And in the end, that person died here."

The tension grows thick.

" Well, sir," she gestures to Jung-Bae, pointing to player 456. " If he won before, he doesn't even have debt to pay off, does he? So your words mean nothing."

" Hey, you-" He starts, and she snickers slightly, but he is cut off.

" Sir." A voice startles them, and they look straight ahead to see player 001 stood in front of them, with a posse of people behind him.

" You said you've played these games." 456 doesn't answer, just reaches to put down his lunchbox.

" I pressed O because of you." 001 continues, and Chin-Hwa furrows his brows. Why is he saying that as if that's what 456 wanted?

" Honestly, I was scared. I wanted to quit and leave."

" So why didn't you?" Chin-Hwa asks after another bite of food. The man turns to her for a moment.

" Because he made me think that maybe I could play one more game." The people behind him voice their agreement, and Chin-Hwa just nods slowly.

" Mhm." She hums, scooping up another spoonful, not really convinced by their reasoning. " Sir. You know which games next, don't you?"

Chin-Hwa smacks her spoonful down into the tin, gasping. " That's right! You won before, so you should know, right?"

" What are we playing next?" Jung-Bae asks, and the pair lean in slightly. 456 hesitates slightly before responding.

" The second game was Dalgona." Chin-Hwa frowns. The candy?

" Dalgona?" A guy with longer hair, half in a ponytail asks, in a crouched position on his bed as he army crawls forward. " The sugar candy with a shape you can carve out?"

" That's right," Player 456 nods. " We had to choose one of four shapes and carve it out."

" Four? Which was the easiest?" Chin-Hwa asks, taking another bite of food, feeling like a small child listening to a ghost story with everyone gathered around.

He glances at her. " Triangle." He responds.

" And the hardest?" Jung-Bae asks.

" Umbrella."

Chin-Hwa gapes. Poor people...

" Umbrella?" 001 scoffs. " Some people chose umbrella?" Chin-Hwa glances at the expression of player 456 and can't help but imagine that he very obviously drew the short straw in this previous game.
