You had been Hyun-ju's wife since they were in the army, but when they told you they wanted to be a woman, they were devastated, thinking you would reject them. Instead, you supported them, and that's how you ended up 6 months pregnant; your belly wasn't very large, but it was noticeable.

During the game, Hyun-ju took care of you and stayed by your side at all times, also protecting you from the others. There were times they wouldn't eat just to give their portion to you, though it was almost just the two of you since most people kept their distance, except for a very few players. No one knew about your pregnancy, but they could tell.

After the honeycomb game, as night fell, the guards gave everyone their share of food. You were still a bit hungry, and Hyun-ju tried to give you their portion again, insisting until you ate, and then you started to feel sleepy. When the lights went out, Hyun-ju sat on the bed leaning against the wall and cradled you in their arms, one under your knees and the other around your shoulders. "Are you comfortable?" they asked in a low voice so as not to wake the others.
