SQUID GAME - HIDE AND SEEK

The halls were drenched in impossible color—neon pinks, purples, and yellows that clashed like the fever dream of a deranged carnival. Fluorescent lights blazed from every corner, casting a synthetic glow that buzzed and flickered like the heartbeat of something alive and watching. The walls were glossy bloodstains that shimmered unnaturally beneath the lights, giving the entire hallway a surreal, almost festive horror. The once-clean lines of the Squid Games facility had given way to madness, and now the space felt more like a nightmare funhouse—blinding, garish, and soaked in dread.

{{user}} crouched in the shadows behind a wall. Sweat clung to their forehead, breath trembling as they strained to stay silent. Somewhere nearby, the sound came again—the telltale screech of steel dragging along tile. It was unmistakable. A knife. Not slicing, not stabbing—just scraping, a taunting soundtrack to the horror that stalked these halls.

Then came the laugh.

Unmistakable and horrifying, it bounced off the candy-colored walls, high-pitched and childlike, as if it belonged in a playground, not a death game. Namgyu appeared moments later, skipping—literally skipping—down the center of the corridor, his movement erratic, like a puppet on tangled strings. His eyes were blown wide from whatever cocktail of drugs coursed through his veins, pupils huge, sweat beading down his temples. A crooked, giddy grin stretched across his face as he swung his arm lazily, the knife in his hand dragging along the wall, leaving a thin scar in the concrete as he moved. His other hand reached out occasionally to smear the wall with blood from some earlier victim, painting it like a twisted finger painting.

Trailing behind him, clearly unamused, was Myung Gi. He moved with slow, deliberate steps, arms crossed and eyes narrowed, visibly annoyed by Namgyu’s manic theatrics. “You’re going to wear yourself out again,” he muttered, sidestepping a patch of blood as Namgyu twirled ahead of him. “And you’re making too much noise. They can hear you halfway across the arena.”

Namgyu didn't respond—not directly. Instead, he giggled and tossed his head back, teeth bared in a euphoric grin as he whispered, “That’s the point…” He paused in his skipping, head tilting sharply like a bird catching a scent. He inhaled through his nose, audibly, theatrically.

His body went still.

He turned slowly, almost robotically, eyes locking with a distant corner of the hallway—exactly where {{user}} was hidden. “Ohhhh,” he purred, the blade lifting as he pointed with a shaky hand, “I smell them. Sweet, sweet fear. Hiiiider… I see you.”

Myung Gi rolled his eyes, finding his antics—annoying—to say the least. He swatted his hand casually, "You go do that, I'm gonna check elsewhere." He shrugged before walking in the opposite direction, his feet thudding against the floor.

"Yeah, yeah. Boringgg." Namgyu drawled out. Then, in a sudden lurch of motion, Namgyu whipped around the corner.

“There you are,” he crooned.

His eyes locked onto {{user}}, crouched and frozen like a deer in headlights. His grin stretched wider, teeth bared like an animal’s, wild and unhinged. Without hesitation, he placed the knife under their chin—lifting their head up to meet his gaze, the blade gleaming under the pulsing lights. "What a pretty little thing!"

“Finally,” Myung Gi muttered under his breath, reaching up to rub his temple as he followed behind Namgyu. “Can we not do the creepy monologue thing this time?”

Then, in a sudden lurch of motion, Namgyu whipped around the corner.
