    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

    “No, when you—when you smile like that,” Gi-hun says, shuddering. “It makes me miss him.”

    “Who?” In-ho asks. He can’t help it, Gi-hun always piques his curiosity. “Jung-bae sshi? Sang-woo sshi?” He uses their real names for once. After hearing some of Gi-hun’s stories on the rare occasions he felt like sharing, In-ho can't help but use their names in place of their numbers. It makes In-ho feel like he knows them, too.

    He's often thought about shooting Jung-bae with shaking hands, watching the hopelessness in his eyes as he turned to face Gi-hun. But what felt like pricks of guilt then, feels like sharp pains in his chest these days. He rolls around at night, and thinks, and feels. It’s a mystery why.

    In-ho looks at Gi-hun sitting in front of him, the visceral reaction to Jung-bae’s name still strong as ever.

    Is it really a mystery anymore? The influence of Seong Gi-hun and the thousand souls he carries with him is quite strong.

     

    or: gi-hun and in-ho make it out alive, but gi-hun wants nothing to do with the latter. unfortunately, in-ho has other plans.

    Summary

    A five-section essay exploring the entirety of the Narumitsu journey, compiling the reasons to ship them and the base of evidence supporting the idea that they could be confirmed as a canon couple someday.

    I've done my best to cover more or less all the evidence pointing towards Narumitsu, from what we see in the games to what the anime added, to hidden hints in the expanded universe, out-of-universe events that support the ship and some meta/analysis thrown in for fun. Enjoy!

    Done for Narumitsu Week 2020.

    Summary

    A small part of Gi-hun's eyes stayed bright. When Sang-woo noticed, the world stopped, and he couldn’t do what he was prepared to do. Warm droplets of rain fell down his face, and he begged that Gi-hun would walk away and end this, but he couldn’t leave him alone. Couldn’t leave anything alone.

    Figures.

    Sang-woo let out a shaky breath and took his hand.

    An AU where both Gi-hun and Sang-woo end the game, but are subsequently left with nothing.

    Summary

    Seong Gi-hun has given up hope.

    With his best friend dead, Young-il killed, and the blood of several others on his hands, he knows that he and his mission are over. His next move is to try to keep as many of his newfound companions safe, no matter what happens to him.

    If he has to sacrifice himself for the people around him, so be it.

    — - - - — - - - — - - - — - - - — - - - — - - - — - - - —

    Hwang In-ho watches as Gi-hun is forced back into the room with the other players.

    He sees that the fight has left him.

    In-ho knows, if he doesn’t step in, Gi-hun will be dead by the next game. This should be good news- he has incited a rebellion after all, him gone would be one less problem on In-ho’s plate.

    So why does he feel heavy to think of Gi-hun dying?

    There’s only one way for In-ho to keep tabs on Gi-hun and keep him alive for a later date: to re-enter the game.

    “Young-il?”
