We slowly moved towards the detainees, with every step I felt insecure, which did not escape the attention of In-ho, who decided to grab my hand, encouraging me like few others.

-If you want, you can wait for us in the apartment, no problem. We'll sort it out and we'll get back to you," he said calmly, squeezing my hand more.

-No. I'd rather be with you In-ho- I said quietly and smiled slightly at the man. I knew he couldn't see it but he knew me well enough to know what I was doing.

We went straight ahead, then turned right and went down the stairs, where the guards were waiting for us along with player 390 and Gi-hun. They were both kneeling with their hands behind their heads and their weapons were lying in front of them. The guards' guns were pointed at their heads, you could see from Sang's friend that he was scared, but not player 456, he kept his cool and looked at the four of us with murder in his eyes. This scene was straight out of a mafia movie, four mafiosi vs good guys who wanted to destroy us but failed and will die at the hands of their boss.

-Did you have fun, player 456, pretending to be a hero? You wanted to defeat us, but once again we defeat you. What an irony, isn't it? - Frontman asked ironically.

-You have provoked an uprising against us and this entire agency, although you prefer to use the word cult, which is somewhat offensive to us - Joon-hyuk replied calmly.

-Because this is a cult! You kill people! - Gi-hun shouted and the metal weapon was pressed even more against his temple. I felt worse and worse watching the scene in front of me but I pretended to be tough to be with In-ho and our friends. It was their bloody business but a business they were dragged into by force and changed but they are still people. And these are people close to me I can't leave them alone even though they would do perfectly well without me. I am not needed here I am like an addition showing these poor kneeling men that someone as "spoiled" as Frontman can have a wife who loves him as he is.

- But gentlemen, you will surely collapse from this pressure - joked Gong.

"Shut up, you jerk," both men said, and Salesman said nothing more, and neither did I.

-The uprising has failed, player 456, and you must be punished, don't you think? - In-ho asked, turning the black pistol over in his hands.

"The only ones who deserve to be punished are you! You capture people for these games where they are desperate to pay off their enormous debts and instead they die!" Sang continued to argue.

-Nobody forced them to participate. They had a choice and they made it just like in your stupid uprising player 456 and instead of winning everyone died because of you - replied Joon-hyuk not taking his eyes off the brown-haired man.

-You are humans, although it's hard to call you that, hiding under disguises so as not to be punished later in the real world, right? - Gi-hun mocked us and I could already see my husband's muscles tense.

-Gi-hun, don't tease them-his friend whispered quietly, which caught my attention and In-ho's, because he also turned his masked face towards the black-haired man, who already felt uneasy knowing that we were looking straight at him.

-I would say to listen to your friend's advice because he's right but that was his only advice for you player 456 -Joon-hyuk replied calmly and my husband shot player 390 who fell to the floor. Gi-hun started to attack him but the guards pressed him to the cold floor to watch his best friend die.

If something like that happened to me and I had to watch my Veronica die, I would kill myself later. Something like that leaves a mark on the psyche for the rest of its life and it will not heal. I would not want to be in the skin or thoughts of player 456 for all the treasures of this horrible world.  Looking at the face of the dying man made me feel weak. The costume began to weigh on my body and my vision began to blur. I lost solid ground under my feet and finally I fell and the only last words I remember were those of my husband.

-Honey! Take her, we have to take her to the apartment and you call the island doctor to have him examine her!

Hello reader!

I can't believe that tomorrow I'm publishing the epilogue of season 2 and I'll have to wait 138 days until the last season of my favorite series, Squid Game. I won't hide it, I got sucked into writing the story of Beverly and In-ho and I can't imagine taking such a long break from writing, so I would like to invite you to the supplement to this book, Frontman's Love: Diary, a book based on Beverly and In-ho's diary about how they met and how their relationship developed before the events of this book. The first chapter has already arrived today and the entire book will be written from two perspectives, Bev and In-ho, so I invite you and we'll see each other tomorrow in the epilogue!
