"Betrayal in the Shadows of the Game"

Prompt: Fandom: Squid Game Ship: Cho Sang-woo (male, 40s) x Kang Sae-byeok (female, early 20s) Setting: During the Squid Games, around the marble game arc Rating: Mature/Explicit Genre/Tropes: enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, morally grey hero, tragic heroine, slow-burn but with spicy payoff, forbidden romance, betrayal angst, survival tension Plot details: Sang-woo and Sae-byeok are forced to work together despite their deep mistrust of each other. Under constant fear of death, their attraction explodes into hot, desperate moments, with secret kisses, stolen touches, and heated encounters while hiding from guards. Sang-woo feels torn between protecting her and protecting himself. Sae-byeok struggles to let down her guard, but in the heat of adrenaline and danger, she can’t resist. I want plenty of angst, dark themes of survival, trust issues, and an explicit scene or two full of rough, raw passion.
