Summary
In-ho argues with logic. Gi-hun argues with… fewer clothes. It’s not a fair fight, but then again, neither is love.

Summary
One rose. Then another. Scarlet, white, pink - each one of them left by the Frontman himself feels like a careful probe along the fragile border between them. At first, Gi-hun destroys them furiously, but the flowers keep appearing in his dark life. On his doorstep. In abandoned buildings. Even atop his own bed.
Gi-hun throws them away. Then he keeps one. Then he starts waiting for the next. And somewhere along the way, he realizes the thorns cut the giver’s hands like knives. They split open his armor, let something alive bleed through. And oh, Gi-hun has never been able to hurt anything alive.
This love begins with a rose.

Summary
Player 456, eliminated
Gi-hun couldn't do it. He couldn't bring himself to take a life during Hide and Seek.
But In-ho can't allow Gi-hun's life to end, even if he's no longer a player. Instead, his survival means something far worse.Bookmarked by ArtEterna

Summary
Following the end of S1, In-ho befriends Gi-hun after his triumph in the games by masquerading as his former self. In-ho discovers that playing with his food only makes him hungrier.
“Gi-hun, Seong Gi-hun.” In-ho watched as Gi-hun reached out his hand again, this time empty.
“Nice to meet you, Gi-hun-ssi.” In-ho shook Gi-hun’s hand, smiling warmly. “I’m Young-il, Oh Young-il.”
As their handshake ended, In-ho felt the need to place his hand into his pocket to savour the warmth still lingering there, finally touching that magic. He wondered if this was how Il-nam had felt when Gi-hun had touched him too. Suddenly, In-ho felt a pang of jealousy in his gut; the need to take more from Gi-hun than Il-nam ever had began to plague his mind and In-ho found himself confused as to why he suddenly felt in competition with a dead man.

Summary
“Hwang Inho,” His assailant introduced stiffly and rattled off a lengthy sequence of numbers.
“Eh?” They’d given Gihun something for the pain and it was making him a little dizzy.
“My name and badge number,” The man said, his jaw clenched tight as he advised, “you should lodge a formal complaint to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency when you are able to walk, sir.”
“Oh…ok.”
“Did you remember what I just said?”
Gihun’s head lolled. He blinked groggily at the figure dressed in all black. “Are you my nurse? This needle in my arm hurts. Could you blow on it?”
The man didn’t move.
“Please?” He whined, blinking back tears.
