SQUID GAME [KPOP VER] DALGONA

[Location: A holding room. The survivors of the first game are seated in tense silence. Some are visibly shaken, while others remain stone-faced. Y/N sits quietly, observing the others.]

Player 327 [Lisa]

[Looking around nervously] Is everyone… okay?

Player 103 [Jisoo]

[Softly, still in shock] I don’t think anyone is okay after that.

Player 030 [Taehyung]

[Calm but cold] Better get used to it. This is just the beginning.

Player 456 [Y/N]

[Glaring at Taehyung] How can you say that so casually? We just saw people die!

Player 030 [Taehyung]

[Shrugs] I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to survive.

Player 116 [Jennie]

[Sarcastic tone] Wow, thanks for the motivation, Mr. Coldhearted.

Player 012 [Namjoon]

[Standing up, trying to take charge] Enough. Fighting each other won’t help. We need to focus on the next game.

Player 211 [Rosé]

[Looking at Namjoon] Do you think we can even survive this?

Player 012 [Namjoon]

[Pauses, then speaks firmly] If we play smart, yes.

Masked Guard

"It is time for rest. Please sleep. Tomorrow’s game will begin at dawn."

[The players reluctantly lie down, the weight of the previous game hanging over them. Some are unable to sleep, still processing the horrors they've witnessed.]

Player 456 [Y/N]

[Tossing and turning] I can’t believe this is happening… it feels unreal.

Player 103 [Jisoo]

[Whispering to Lisa beside her] I feel like I’m in a nightmare.

Player 327 [Lisa]

[Softly, trying to stay calm] We have to make it through tomorrow.

Player 030 [Taehyung]

[From across the room, speaking coldly to Suga and Jhope] You think we’ll get out of this? [Sarcastically] Nah. I’m just here to win.

Player 309 [Suga]

[Rolling his eyes] You’re always so cocky, Taehyung.

Player 218 [Jhope]

[Smirking, his voice low and confident] We’ll make it. Let them keep fighting amongst themselves.

Player 030 [Taehyung]

[Chuckling darkly] Exactly. The weak will fall, and I’ll be standing at the end.

[The players sleep uneasily, knowing the real struggle is only just beginning.]

[The next morning. The loud sound of an alarm rips through the room, signaling the start of the next round. The lights flicker on, and the survivors groggily get up.]

Masked Guard

"Wake up. The next game will begin shortly. Please proceed to the arena."

[The players shuffle into the corridors, still half-asleep but bracing themselves for the next challenge.]

[Arena: The room is filled with tables, each containing a piece of honeycomb candy with different shapes—circle, triangle, star, and umbrella.]

Player 030 [Taehyung]

[Looking around, his voice dripping with sarcasm] A candy challenge? Really? How cute.

Player 456 [Y/N]

[Quietly, noticing the tension building] Is this really happening?

Player 001 [Jungkook]

...

Player 218 [Jhope]

[Leaning over to Taehyung, whispering] This is going to be easy. Don’t mess it up.

Player 001 [Jungkook]

[Looking around, confused] What kind of game is this?

Masked Guard

"Game 2: Dalgona Challenge. Each player will choose a shape. You will then be given a honeycomb candy with the chosen shape etched into it. Your task is to carve out the shape without breaking it. Breaking the candy will result in elimination."

Player 456 [Y/N]

[Eyes widening in realization] This… this is just like the old street game.

Player 116 [Jennie]

[Sighs] I hate this already.

Player 327 [Lisa]

[Gritting her teeth] We have to be careful. If we mess up, we’re done.

[The players are instructed to choose a shape. Many rushes to grab the easier ones like circles and triangles, but Y/N hesitates. She looks over the options carefully.]

Player 456 [Y/N]

[Muttering to herself, scanning the shapes] I can’t pick the umbrella. That’s too risky.

Player 103 [Jisoo]

[Whispering to Y/N] Take the triangle. It’s the safest.

Player 456 [Y/N]

[Nods, choosing the triangle] Thanks.

[The players are given their honeycomb candies. Some players begin to nervously scrape at the shapes, while others are more methodical. Y/N and Jungkook exchange a look, both preparing to focus.]

Player 001 [Jungkook]

[Whispering to Y/N] Use the needle, but don’t rush it. One wrong move and you’re out.

[The room is filled with tense silence, interrupted only by the occasional sound of cracking candy. Players hold their breath, trying to focus.]

Player 030 [Taehyung]

[Smirking as he uses his tongue to soften the umbrella] You’re all doing it wrong. You have to use heat, not just scraping.

Player 456 [Y/N]

[Pausing, watching him] Is that how you’re doing it?

Player 030 [Taehyung]

[Glancing over with a grin] It works.

[Slowly, the players begin to finish their tasks, some succeeding and others falling behind. Gunshots echo as eliminated players are taken away.]

Player 103 [Jisoo]

[Breathing heavily as she finishes her shape] I did it… I actually did it.

Player 116 [Jennie]

[Scraping nervously, struggling with her star shape] I… I can’t…

Player 327 [Lisa]

[Wiping away sweat, finishing her candy] I can’t believe it… I made it.

[A crack echoes. Jennie’s star candy breaks in two. She freezes, her face pale.]

Player 116 [Jennie]

[Whispering] No…

[A masked guard approaches. Jennie is dragged away as the sound of a gunshot rings out. The other players flinch but stay focused on their tasks.]

Player 211 [Rosé]

[Tears streaming down her face, trembling] Jennie... no...

Player 327 [Lisa]

[Barely finishing her circle, looking at Rosé] Rosé... keep going. You have to.

Player 211 [Rosé]

[Rosé struggles to hold back her tears as she continues scraping her candy, her hands shaking.]

Player 030 [Taehyung]

[Sitting back, finishing his umbrella with ease, smirking] I told you—this is nothing.

Player 309 [Suga]

[Grinning, finishing his candy as well] They’re just not cut out for this.

Player 218 [Jhope]

[Laughing quietly, watching another player struggle] More room for us.
