Disclaimer: I do not own Squid Game or anything else you may recognize. I only own Jackson Lee and any other OC's

Welcome everyone to my first story focused on Squid Game. As the premise suggests, the main character will be Jackson Lee.

For castings, picture him being played by Noah Fleder. Now, this story will focus on some episodes but will quickly divert its course into its own original plot.

Hope everyone enjoys.

Chapter 1- Home Sweet Home

Seoul, South Korea

"Well, back to square one here."

Jackson Lee looked around at the bustling streets of Seoul, a tired look on his young, slightly boyish face.

He was only 24 years old, but the dark rings under his eyes gave him the look of someone nearly two times his age.

With another sigh, he held out his hand for a taxi. It was time to go back.

"Jackson?"

Jackson's smile widened as he looked at his younger sister.

Juni was only 19 years old, but she always was the most mature out of anyone in the school she attended. Her auburn hair was tied back in a ponytail.

"Hey sis, long time no see." Jackson said.

Without another word, Juni embraced her older brother, hugging him tightly.

"Are Mom and Dad here?" Jackson asked.

"Yeah, they are. Come in! I'm sure they'll be happy to see you." Juni said with a toothed grin.

Jackson drank some tea as his mother, Hwa-Young droned on about how he was always failing his businesses.

Jackson drowned out the sound by looking at Juni who was trying her absolute hardest not to burst out laughing. Her eyes were closed, and she was biting her bottom lip.

"You stupid child! I could have told you it wasn't going to work." Hwa-Young chided.

"Take it easy on him, sweetheart," his father Daniel said, placing a hand on Jackson's shoulder. "You've got imagination, son, and I can respect that."

"Yeah, clearly that one didn't go too well." Jackson muttered.

"So, what's your plan, big bro?" Juni asked, sipping some soda.

"I…I don't know, to be honest." Jackson admitted, looking down. "I was thinking of just trying to figure something out here."

"Although you may be a knucklehead," Hwa-Young said. "You are welcome to stay here as long as you want. Not too long though, otherwise I'll have to kick you out."

Juni and Daniel let out chuckles at that and even Jackson cracked a small smile.

"Well, your old room is exactly the same as you left it." Juni commented as Jackson put his bag on the floor.

"Thanks, Juni." He replied. She grinned again.

"Well, enjoy, I'm going out with some friends, I'll see you later." Juni said, turning on her heel and walking out.

Jackson watched her go, a fond, distant look on his face. He suddenly turned, a pamphlet in the corner of his eye catching his attention.

It was written in Korean, saying "ALL APPLICANTS WELCOME. PRIZE OF 4 BILLION WON."

Jackson's eyes widened.

"I could use that kind of money." He muttered.

Taking out his phone, he began dialing the number.

His life was about to change.

And done.

So now the Games are about to begin, but there's something else going on as well.

Juni will be played by Minnie Mills.

This story won't be too long, as there will be another plot happening, something that's going to be truly exciting.

I want to give a credit to KDLE for the writing and creativity on the story so far, so give him a shout out and thank him

Hope everyone enjoyed and see you all next time.
