    Summary

    In-ho never planned to become a recruiter. But when the player count falls short and Seok-woo dares him to take a shift for the night, he steps in – just to prove a point. Ddakji case in hand, he finds Gi-hun. Broke. Bruised. And far too willing to pay with his body.

    What begins as a standard transaction spirals into something stranger, hotter, and more dangerous than either of them expect. Consent blurs. Stakes rise. And In-ho finds himself breaking his own rules – because Gi-hun doesn’t just play to win. He begs to be ruined.

    A slow burn of power, humiliation, and increasingly exploitative clauses.

    Terms and Conditions

    After accepting a dare to handle recruitment for one night, the initiating party (Hwang, I.) enters into a provisional agreement with the receiving party (Seong, G.).

    Following a lost game of ddakji, the receiving party was informed he could “pay with his body.” The phrase was misunderstood. The offer was accepted – verbally, awkwardly, and with excessive eye contact.

    Consent is given. Clarity is questionable. Emotional damage is ongoing. Renewal is likely.

    This contract is binding. No refunds.

    Summary

    Of course the Frontman had seen him coming, foreseen the naïve act of bravery on his brother’s behalf, and intercepted their attack at every single turn. He’d even gone so far as to infiltrate the games, posing as a player – player 001, ironically – just to mess with Gi-hun’s head.

    And he hates himself over it. He hates that the Frontman got to him, tricked him, deceived him so, so easily. He hates that he’s doomed to trust so easily, to allow a charming smile and a heated gaze fool him. Young-il never existed. He was carefully constructed, specifically designed to infiltrate Gi-hun’s group and manipulate.

    -

    Gi-hun speaks to the Frontman more than once, and uses his infatuation as a manipulation tactic. S3 rewrite.

    Summary

    In-ho argues with logic. Gi-hun argues with… fewer clothes. It’s not a fair fight, but then again, neither is love.
