Summary
“We have a serial killer who is striking in different locations in Seoul. We don't know the total number of homicides, as there may be more than forty-five men and women ranging in age from eighteen to the elderly.”
Gi-hun laughed sarcastically. “How did they miss that? And what does Interpol have to do with something the police could solve quickly?”
It was at that moment that Gi-hun locked eyes with In-ho. “In-ho?” Gi-hun asked, furrowing his right eyebrow, despite feeling his heart beating rapidly under his ex-partner's intense gaze.

Seong Gi-hun was having one of the worst days of his life.
Everything seemed to get worse since he talked to his friends Ji-yeong and Sae-byeok about how he attracted bad boys into his life.
Luck does not seem to be on the side of the 29-year-old doctor, because after his shift, he is asked to stay for the night shift with the nurses, Young-mi and Jun-hee.
The worst part is that among so many encounters on that unlucky day, Gi-hun seems to have a secret admirer who is very obsessed with him beyond love and respect.🤍

Summary
There’s a rule about sleeping with subordinates.
Not that it matters. Gi-hun hasn’t slept with his boss — he's just unknowingly moved into the apartment next door to him, screamed through their shared wall, and then sent his emotionally unstable cat to attack him.
Now stuck between a soul-crushing entry level job and the world’s most unreadable neighbor/boss, Gi-hun is doing his best to keep things professional.
He really is.

Summary
Seong Gi-hun is deep in debt that he can't pay off on his own, so he doesn't find it in himself to turn down a rather mysterious offer to spend a week with a man who is willing to pay generously for his time. He takes the risk, and then does it again and again while In-ho watches and teases him. As the vampire sinks his fangs into the man's neck, he thinks he is the one in control, completely oblivious to the rope rapidly wrapping around his own neck. Luckily for him, Gi-hun himself doesn't know that he's the one holding the other end of his leash.

Summary
He doesn’t know what’s worse, getting caught by your boss with a faceful of noodles during what is definitely not the sanctioned lunch break, or the fact that he’s managed to break Rule #1. Gi-hun’s mask feels like a fifty pound weight where it rests against his thigh.
Aish, what a lame way to die.
Gi-hun wouldn’t say that he enjoys his job. When you get right down to it, life as a pink guard is days filled with hefting dead or dying bodies into coffins wrapped in bright pink bows, and then sliding those same coffins into an incinerator one after the other.
Add to that the fact that his boss, the extremely terrifying and cool Front Man of the games, has suddenly taken an interest in him, and Gi-hun is starting to think that it might be time for a much needed vacation.
Or: Guard!Gi-hun is just trying his best to pay his debts and support his sick mom, Jun-ho is still wandering around set on bringing down the games, and In-ho finds himself unexpectedly charmed by the antics of Worker 456.

Summary
During Gi-hun's first watch after the second game, something happens between Gi-hun and Young-il (Hwang In-ho) that leaves Gi-hun conflicted when he finds himself wanting more. After the failed rebellion, Gi-hun is forced to stay in In-ho's quarters to watch the remainder of the games. When their relationship becomes more complicated, both men fight against themselves and their trauma as they begin to sink into the deep pit of their growing obsession.
Neither were expecting to become wrapped up in each other as much as they did, and neither of them were expecting to do anything it takes to stay together.

Summary
“I’m going to fucking kill you.” Gi-hun hisses, his voice breaking on the words.
In-ho stares up at him, his breathing uneven, and for a moment, something other than pain curls in his chest. “You’re so beautiful when you’re angry,” he says softly, his voice low and almost reverent.
It starts with a cold night and stolen moments in the dark - Gi-hun, wrapped up in Young-il, clinging to his warmth and whispered half-truths. But there's another man he can't stop thinking about, the one hiding behind a mask.
When he finally puts the pieces together, it should change everything. Instead, it changes him.
(aka: In-ho warns the guards about Gi-hun’s plans, and thus brings his little rebellion to the ground before it even starts. now he has to cuddle with his crush to stay warm - how unfortunate! especially because Gi-hun won't stop talking about how much he wants to kill him)

Summary
"You take risks without thinking," In-ho mused as he watched Gi-hun's fingers tighten around his last chip. "That's why you always lose."
"And yet, here I am. Still playing."
The faintest smirk curled around In-ho’s lips. "Because you don't know how to stop." He leaned in, voice quiet but dangerous. "Tell me, Gi-hun—what happens when there's nothing left to bet but yourself?"
Gi-hun is drowning in debt, In-ho is swimming in wealth as the owner of an exclusive high-stakes casino. Two worlds that should never collide—until one desperate gamble pulls Gi-hun into a life he has yet to understand.
But when the devil asks you to play, can you really afford to say no?

Summary
Hwang In-ho stared at the square mask. None of the others noticed the look of intent in his gaze, and the almost-imperceptible shake of his head.
The soldier inserted the key into the lock and twisted it. There was a snap. He pulled away the piece of broken metal and held it up.
“The key has broken in the lock,” he said matter-of-factly. “Players 456 and 001 will have to remain shackled. I’m sorry.”
---
In which In-ho devises an excuse to stay (quite literally) by Gi-hun's side. Story continues into post Season 2.

Summary
He wants, wants, wants.
Gi-hun swallows the want. Ignores the longing. Squeezes a little tighter on Young-il’s shoulder to check if he’s real.
“You can’t be here,” Gi-hun says, rough, hushed enough for the bystanders to not catch. They probably still do, the silence in the dormitory deafening.
“You weren’t supposed to be here,” Young-il says in return, leaning his head on the wall. He sighs and closes his eyes briefly. “You weren’t supposed to find out like this.”
-
Or, a retelling of season two, except Gi-hun meets and falls for a man called Young-il during the search party of episode one. They meet again in the games.
