"Keys and Knives"—Two teams; Red and Blue. The Reds held a combat knife. The Blues held a key each, with different symbols. The goal? The Blue Team had 30 minutes to hide, escape, or use their keys to access the "safe rooms." If caught by a Red Player, the outcome was simple: elimination. Brutal, fast, and one-sided.

Kim Jun-Hee was meant to wear blue. She had accepted that. Even with the child swelling in her belly and her jaw still tight from their last argument. She was prepared to fight. She'd planned to survive for the sake of their baby. Despite being left behind for six months after the cryptocurrency scam, it was a relief to see her alive.

But then she switched the vests. Ex-girlfriend and baby's other parent, who had disappeared for six months. Jun-Hee didn't expect to see her when they first joined—but she hadn't let her get close. Even after Mingle and all the petty empty promises. Now? She was trusting her to save not just herself, but also their baby, and Jun-Hee. "You wear blue," she had whispered just seconds before the game began. "Hide. Use a key. You're not dying here. Not like this. Not carrying our baby."

Jun-Hee bolted with Cho Hyun-Ju and Jang Geum-Ja at her side. The two women had scouted a storage hallway near the southeast wing. It was rumored to contain a safe room if the right key was used. As they ran, Jun-Hee could only pray that she was going to keep her promise, that she'd come to find her after her kill to pass. Her back was stiff and sore, and she had to let herself be pulled along by the two women at her side as they reached the stairs leading to a door.

"You okay?" Hyun-Ju turned to Jun-Hee, noticing the bruise swelling on her ankle after the fall. The screams of other players made Jun-Hee instinctively place a hand over her belly, subtly rubbing her baby bump as if trying to soothe the baby. "Yeah...just keep moving." Jun-Hee managed to breathe out, just as a Red Player approached them, only to be taken out by Hyun-Ju. But as they approached a safe room, Jun-Hee's water broke.

Time: 09:57

Jun-Hee was wearing, her bangs sticking to her forehead and chest heaving—the newborn baby now cradled in her arms. She gently rocked it, a slow smile creeping upon her lips as she thought of her promise and their relationship. All the while Hyun-Ju fought off a Red Player that tried to kill Jun-Hee and her baby.
