Summary
“Do you really still have faith in people?”
Gi-hun froze when he heard the familiar words. The Frontman had asked him this before. In the same place. When Gi-hun had been leaving the room, he stopped him and asked him about it.
He did not answer him then.
He looked at In-ho's face, which was expecting an answer, yet seemed indifferent at the same time.
“I do.”
Gi-hun is trapped in a time loop, desperate to put an end to the games so much that he doesn't even notice what his real mission was.

Summary
When Gihun is invited to Junho’s wedding, he hesitates. He doesn’t like planes, hot weather, and he's not sure he can afford a week off work. It also doesn’t help that Junho’s brother is his ex he hasn't seen for two years.

Summary
Gi-hun's entire life has fallen apart, but he’s been managing to hold himself together, picking up the pieces of himself in the aftermath of a messy divorce. But one day, he arrives at work early to find something that sends his entire world crashing down around him for a second time.
A tasteless, disgusting prank – because that’s all it is, what else could it be?
“I think someone may even harbor some kind of disturbing fascination with you, Gi-hun. But you need to understand – the Board only sees that you're causing problems.” Il-nam pauses to break eye contact, expression grim. “I don’t mean to speak ill of your area colleagues, but they're not good enough to save your career from this. Any of them.”
Just as despair grips Gi-hun within its sharp talons, In-ho, who has been silently observing the entire exchange, finally speaks up – offering salvation that reverberates through the silent office like a crack of thunder.
“I’ll do it.”

Summary
Gi-hun’s life is a mystery to him. Awakening from a coma with barely a memory intact, he’s spent the last several months trying to rebuild his life while trying to cope with the trauma lingering behind his amnesia – fortunately, he isn’t alone in any of this. On the surface, In-ho has been nothing but the perfect spouse, so dedicated and devoted to Gi-hun’s well being. He’s a bit on the strict and overprotective side, sure, but he means well.
He does.
At least, Gi-hun thinks he does.

Summary
Seong Gi-hun wakes up in a hospital bed — broken, barely breathing, but alive. And waiting for him is Hwang In-ho, former Frontman of the Games, holding a baby in his arms.
There are no masks now. No games. Just two ruined men and a child named in memory of the dead.
But the Games never let go. And when the truth is revealed, there is no forgiveness left.

Summary
“Hwang In-ho,” In-ho flinched at hearing his name from a voice that had never spoken it aloud before. “I’m supposed to hate you and be glad you’ve sunk this low,”
What the hell was going on?
“so why do I just feel pissed off instead, huh?”
In-ho's head snapped downward immediately, pulling at a muscle or two in his neck, his eyes flying open just as quickly.
Stillness, pitch-black silence. That’s what he thought he’d see.
Not… not…
“Seong… Gi-hun…?”
A dead man lingers. In-ho does his best to live with it.

Summary
In-ho is an ordinary political science professor at Seoul University who prefers his single life and has not been interested in relationships for many years now. He isn't very social and has little interest in socializing with anyone other than his family, until one day a famous photo model, Seong Gi-hun, bursts into his quiet life and all of a sudden In-ho has to deal with the fact that for some reason everyone is convinced that they are in a relationship. Including his family, coworkers, students, and... well, all of Korea at the very least.
When Gi-hun begs him to pretend their relationship is real, In-ho tries to refuse, but finds it beyond his powers when he sees the man's pleading look.
Or: Gi-hun fell first, In-ho fell harder. Fake it till you make it.

Summary
“Why,” Gihun said, voice trembling with the effort to hold it all in. “Why did you let me live?”
Inho blinked. His smile faltered, replaced by confusion, “What are you talking about?”
“I said,” Gihun was on his feet before he even realized it, the chair screeching across the floor as he lunged across the table. “Why did you let me live?!”
Seong Gihun is in a weird place. He finds out that everyone is alive and never experienced the Games. He assumes this is the afterlife and realizes perhaps he can finally heal.
Then he meets Hwang Inho.
-------
Gihun is in a world where everybody lives but he believes the Inho here is still manipulative. So, he makes it a personal mission to be nice to everybody...
...Except Inho.

Summary
The man extended his hand to Gi-hun before speaking. “Good evening, I’m Hwang In-ho, the math teacher.”
Gi-hun shook his hand. His handshake was firm, almost painful—not because the teacher intended it, but because of the surprise.
“Good evening.” He glanced at the door, hoping that his daughter might eventually show up but of course she didn’t. Gi-hun sighed in defeat, realizing he had to face the teacher alone. “I’m Seong Gi-hun.”
Hwang In-ho pressed his lips together and blinked slightly. “Ah.” He sat down and Gi-hun followed him. “Seong Ga-yeong’s father, I presume.” He said with a cold tone.
Gi-hun felt the chill settle in as he introduced himself as Ga-yeong’s father. Trying to break the ice, he forced a laugh. “Yup, that’s me, in the flesh!”
or Hwang In-ho is Seong Ga-yeong's math teacher ... and she is failing math, so In-ho wants to tutor her but in presence of her parents.
especially in presence of her father, Seong Gi-hun.teacher/single dad AU

Summary
“You never kill me. I mean— You get close, or tempted to, but you've never once killed me in any version of this. Why is that?”
Inho stared off, not speaking. His jaw clenched, and Gihun knew it meant he was holding back. He'd seen him do it a hundred times, even if Inho would never remember.
“Are you afraid?”
This made him scoff, looking off to the side almost rolling his eyes in disbelief. “I've killed more people than I could count, in my first game and in yours. I've killed my own guards–”
“I wasn't talking about killing.” Gihun stepped closer, looking at him once again. “Are you afraid to lose me, Inho?”
Or
The one where Gihun is forced to relive the games over and over again until he gets it right.
