WARNING SIGNS - what you would do for a friend by Blackbutterfly207

Summary
The look in his eyes just after killing this man in the Mingle game.
Feral, soulless. Teeth almost bared, chest heaving from the strain. Anything to claim victory.
Of course Jung-bae was grateful for surviving - it was the most logical choice he could make for them - but he couldn't stop the horror from seeping into his features as he stared at Young-Il, still holding the now lifeless, limp, body into his arms before discarding it on the floor and staring back at him - sending the signal that what happened was in any way justified, the extent of a sacrifice he made for both of them to survive.

Summary
“Le triangle est le plus simple, c’est bien ça ?” demande Young-il dans son dos.
Gi-hun se retourne à demi, acquiesce d’un signe de tête, puis de la voix. Oui, c’est bien ça. Il déglutit. Les souvenirs du passé et le présent se mêlent. Il s’attend presque à croiser le regard de Sang-woo cherchant à lui dire que le triangle est la forme la plus facile à détacher sans y parvenir. La main invisible qui compresse son estomac ne relâche pas sa prise, remonte petit à petit.
Pourquoi se sent-il aussi tendu ?...

Summary
--- Parce qu'un monstre n'est jamais qu'une bête blessée, enragée, qu'on a enfermée dans une cage dont la clé a été jetée ou que l'on détient pour nous. ---
Gi-hun a la sensation de devenir fou après la mort de Jung-bae, et peut-être même qu'il le devient, retenu prisonnier pour une durée indéterminée dans les appartements du Maître du Jeu.
Pendant ce temps de répit, qui vire à la torture pour chacun d'entre eux, In-ho comprend qu'il a définitivement choisi son camp, la vérité à laquelle il aspire.
Il est temps de libérer le joueur 456.

Summary
What if the Salesman knew he was going to die when he was asked to meet with Gi-hun and deliver him the Games' card again? What if Time To Say Goodbye was ultimately a heartfelt recalling of all the moments they shared together, a love confession to his obsession?
What if the Salesman was actually able to feel love, a twisted kind, mixed with lust and possessiveness, but love still?
What if he gains awareness of it during the Russian Roulette game?...Series

Summary
Il attend, immobile.
La lourdeur du silence presse contre l’intérieur de son masque où lui sont renvoyées la cadence régulière et la chaleur de son souffle. Il sent son cœur battre à l’intérieur de sa cage thoracique.
Enfin. Enfin, il y est. Il y est parvenu.
Il va revoir le Front Man.
Après autant de temps passé ici, à trimer sans se plaindre, à exécuter les ordres avec ferveur.

-Tu crois qu'il y aura encore des mojitos quand on rentrera ?
Sae-byeok baisse la tête vers elle. Les rayons l’aveuglent un instant avant que ses yeux ne se posent sur le visage de la jeune femme. Ses cheveux droits sont ébouriffés par la brise. Elle sourit.
C'est plus éblouissant que la lumière du soleil.

Summary
A murmur against his neck.
Quiet.
Breathy.
"I'm sorry," he repeats as he flinches. He gently helps him sit back to the table, where he drops the new bottle off and helps himself.
He sips his coffee, watching him. Always watching.
It takes a moment before Gi-hun can talk again, the fading wave of shock finally unlocking his throat.
"Hwang In-ho. It's not even 7 AM, we've had two miraculous hours of sleep when she stopped crying, we're in the middle of breakfast, the sun has just risen, your brother is going to be there in an hour and you say this now?"

Summary
“We are not horses. We are humans.”
In-ho found himself standing up. He didn’t remember doing it.
“And humans are…”
Time stopped in the VIP room.
They were holding their breaths, standing in silence in front of the glass, spectacles low, some murmuring, but he couldn’t hear what they said. Cotton filled his ears.
He fell.
He fell like an angel.

Summary
“You betrayed us. You betrayed me.” his voice cracks on the last word, as if he still couldn’t quite believe it happened. His sight blurs slightly.
Nothing.
It’s almost like he contemplates him. As if he was a performance to die for. As if he was some idea that needs to be shaped, a blade to be sharpened, and there’s nothing left to do now but admiring the result. What he made of him.
“Yet, you saved me.”
Many times.
There’s a glimpse of something.
And then nothing at all.
