Summary
***under reconstruction chapter by chapter***
His life is stitched together by steady hands—In-ho’s hands—rough with past sins but reverent in how they hold him. Their love is bruised, possessive, healing. Sacred.
Sang-hwan is everything Gi-hun shouldn’t want: sharp smile, silk tongue, a predator’s patience. He stirs a hunger Gi-hun can’t name without choking on guilt. What begins as a ploy to pull In-ho back into the Game spirals into a psychological tug-of-war—loyalty vs. obsession, love vs. manipulation.
He knows what Sang-hwan is. Dangerous. Twisted. Addictive.
But knowing doesn’t stop the ache.*Sequel is live: Burning What's Left*

Summary
Gi-hun carries the quiet weight of a man haunted. What In-ho sees—his smiles, his tenderness, his effort—is real, but it’s only half the story. What he doesn’t see is the little bottle of pills tucked away in Gi-hun’s drawer, or the shadow that clings to him late at night when he thinks no one’s watching.
Sang-hwan hasn’t left him. Not really. His memory lingers like smoke, curling through the cracks in Gi-hun’s resolve, whispering that he’ll never truly be free. Gi-hun has never told In-ho how deep the damage goes. How sometimes, even now, Sang-hwan’s voice is louder than his own.
He wants to heal. He wants to let In-ho love him back to life. But every time Gi-hun starts to reach for that light, something drags him back under.
And he’s terrified that if In-ho ever sees the full truth—
He’ll stop reaching back.
