Hyunju laughs. It shouldn't be this fun talking to someone who doesn't know who she is.
"No, I'm in the films."
"Ohh...so you're like an actress or something?"
"Or something."

Summary
Back in the games, Gyeongseok put his life in her hands. Now that they’re over, Hyunju doesn’t know how to stop holding it. Not even months later, with the games and Thailand behind her. Not even living with her best friend and his daughter and finally getting the chance to be happy. She doesn’t know how to believe the worst is over. She just wants to put her body between the games and everyone she loves, but the games are embedded there, the games are everywhere.
(Hyunju’s back from Thailand, and between finding a job, living with her best friend who she’s also in love with, and the barrage of everyday triggers in a country where the games have made it into the news cycle, she’s having a bit of a hard time adjusting.
Also, there’s something Gyeongseok needs to tell her about Song-i’s mom.)

Summary
Cho Hyun-ju has been discarded from both the military and society. As her debts pile up, her pursuit of liberation seems to be hurdling towards a dead end.
Park Gyeong-seok divides his time between sketching portraits for the visitors of Seoul Land and caring for his sick daughter. As her cancer progresses, his feeling of hopelessness does as well.
When both people are confronted by a strange man, their connection in the harsh, deceptive environment they're thrust into may be what they're both missing.
