Sae-byeok and Gi-Hun saw how Sang-woo killed an innocent man to survive the fifth game, much to their shock. When the game ended, all the glasses exploded, making one of the pieces of crashed glass with Sae-Byeok's stomach.

Since they were the only 3 players left, the leader decided to give them a formal dinner. Sae-byeok didn't eat well since she was hurt. Gi-Hun noticed she didn't eat and asked why. Sae-byeok answered two times, but still he knew both times she was lying. This shows how Gi-Hun is really worried about her. He offered her to team up for the last game to defeat Sang-Woo, since he didn't trust him anymore. When he realized Sang-Woo was falling asleep, he tried to kill him, but Sae-byeok stopped him, telling him he's not that kind of person. Both of them started talikng about their families, Sae-Byeok telling him she has a little brother staying in a boarding school, and Gui-hun telling her she has a daughter. Sae-Byeok tried to make a promise to Gi-hun, telling him that if any of them gets out, they had to care for each other's family. He denied it, since he told her both of them are getting out. Sae-Byeok started telling him she wants to get out alive, but started getting worse due the glass injury. Gi-Hun noticed it and tried asking for help. When the guards arrived, it's shown that Sang-Woo killed her. Gi-Hun cried for her dead and hugged her dead body.

In the last game, Gi-Hun got completely mad with Sang-Woo for killing her. At the end Gi-Hun was the winner, taking with himself the money. After all that happened he was still broken inside of him. He didn't smiled once, until he met Sae-Byeok's brother. He happily told him they were good friends. He then took him out of the boarding school and give it in charge of Sang-Woo's mother, leaving them a suitcase full of money.
