Summary
The VIPs wanted to turn Seong Gi-Hun into their newest amusement. Hwang In-Ho acted first, claiming Player 456 as his own—before the world, and for himself.
Away from the bets and bloodshed, In-Ho offers Gi-Hun a different fate: freedom from the Games, in exchange for becoming his prisoner. Gi-Hun accepts—but not without setting his own terms.
Behind locked doors, possession blurs into something neither of them expected. But in a world built on power and sacrifice, emotions come with a cost—and both men must decide how much they’re willing to risk for what they can no longer deny.

Summary
“The sweet, warm scent filled the air.
In-ho froze.
That wasn’t the scent of a beta — it was the unmistakable call of an omega.”In-ho never works with omegas. To him, they’re unstable, complicated… and dangerous to his flawless routine.
Gi-hun desperately needs a job and has no choice but to lie, claiming to be a beta. Everything seems to go smoothly—until an accident forces them to get closer.
Gi-hun’s scent awakens something overwhelming in In-ho — an instinct he never thought he’d feel, a desire he can’t control.
Resisting that sweet aroma will be impossible.
Surrender is only a matter of time.Bookmarked by Fading__Ash

Summary
Inho and his roommate Gihun have always gotten along. He had never once been bothered by Gihun being openly gay—until Gihun started to go on dates, and bring other men home. Inho decided the anger and frustration he felt towards Gihun being with other men can only mean one thing…
He’s secretly homophobic! Oh no!
(This is inspired by that hysterical Reddit story of a man mistaking jealousy for homophobia directed towards his roommate)

Then that's when he saw it. Subtle, barely noticeable, but unmistakably there. Gi-hun had twitched. He stopped, turning back around and kneeling down to his level. He gently removed his glove, then slowly placed two fingers on the pulse point of his neck.
Yes.
or
Gi-hun doesn’t die in the last game, and In-ho does everything in his power to save him.

“I think there’s been some mistake. My name is Lee Byung-hun. I'm an actor.”
Gihun stared at him, confused.
“Actor?” he echoed. “How is that...?”
Byung-hun said gently. “I played a character in a drama. A man like the one you described. But it was fiction. Not real."
Gihun's legs nearly gave out. Byung-hun rushed forward, catching his elbow.
“Easy. Come with me. You look like you need to sit down.”Or Gihun and Jung-Jae switched with places

Summary
Then, Young-il—In-ho—paused—just long enough for effect. He blinked rapidly, feigning slight embarrassment, his tongue darting out quickly to wet his lips. “And, well… we might need to sleep… closer together to share body heat.”
The others froze—not from the cold, but from that statement.
Jun-hee let out a small, nervous cough, suddenly very interested in her shoes.
Dae-ho made a strangled noise. “...I—uh—what?”
Jung-bae, however, whipped his head around so fast it was a miracle he did not snap his own neck. “Wait. You want us to do what?”
Gi-hun, still processing the sudden shift in energy, stared at Young-il, his face now flaming. He could have sworn—just before the other man had made that statement—he had been looking right at him.
Or: In-ho, posing as fellow player Young-il, devises increasingly ridiculous ways to get closer to Gi-hun.

Summary
"You blasted fool," he thought bitterly. Why did you have to come back? Why didn’t you just go to your daughter and live a happy life with all the money you won?"
Due to a twist on the last tower, Gi-hun survives the fall. The speaker still announces the disqualification of Player 456, though.
When In-ho enters the arena to say his final goodbye, he notices that Gi-hun is still breathing. After hearing Gi-hun’s final words, he no longer cares about the Games. The only thing that matters now is saving him and that’s exactly what he does.
A few weeks later, Gi-hun wakes up in a hospital with no memory. He can't even remember his own name. Once his condition improves and most of his injuries are healed, he gets released and In-ho secretly starts to follow him. Until one day, Gi-hun recognizes him. Not as the Frontman, but as Young-il, the kind man he once promised a bottle of soju to, after being saved. And In-ho decides to go along with it… and slowly begins to build a relationship with him.
But what will happen when Gi-hun starts to remember who Young-il really is?
And what will become of Jun-hee’s baby?- Language:

Summary
*FIX IT FIC*
*Under reconstruction - light edits per chapter*
In-ho makes a different choice before Gi-hun can. He breaks protocol. Starts the evacuation early.
After the Game, Gi-hun and In-ho are two men carrying the same kind of broken—grief-torn, guilt-heavy, and haunted by the choices that kept them breathing. What begins as excruciatingly fragile proximity deepens into something unshakable: a child who needs them both, feelings neither of them dare to name, and the terrifying, hard-won hope that they might still be worthy of joy. Orbiting the wreckage of who they used to be, they begin again—not cleanly, but together.
But peace doesn’t come easy. Not when the past hunts them with a badge and a grudge. Not when the line between guilt and forgiveness won’t stay still. As secrets unravel and old wounds split open, Gi-hun and In-ho must fight harder than ever—not for survival this time, but for a future they finally believe they deserve.

Summary
Seong Gi-hun wakes up in a hospital bed — broken, barely breathing, but alive. And waiting for him is Hwang In-ho, former Frontman of the Games, holding a baby in his arms.
There are no masks now. No games. Just two ruined men and a child named in memory of the dead.
But the Games never let go. And when the truth is revealed, there is no forgiveness left.

Summary
Seong Gi-hun is broke, broken, and terribly pathetic. His only job? Cleaning the offices of Hwang In-ho, a pharmaceutical CEO whose icy reputation rivals his brittle lungs. But when Gi-hun finds In-ho suffocating on his own boardroom floor, he does the unthinkable: he saves him.
Now In-ho owns him.
Their deal is simple: Gi-hun becomes In-ho’s 24/7 "health aide," monitoring his asthma, hiding his weakness, and surviving his scorn. In return, Gi-hun gets enough cash to keep his daughter safe. But every wheezing breath In-ho takes binds them closer—Gi-hun’s scarred hands adjusting oxygen tubes, In-ho’s sharp eyes tracking his every move.

Summary
The middle ground between acceptance of the lost cause and an insistence on fighting for a better world anyway is blowing everything up and running away.
Direct continuation of my story Empire of Light from Gi-hun's POV, with a lot less art and philosophy talk and a lot more action. The title (and every chapter title) comes from another Magritte painting.

Inho’s job as the Front Man is simple: keep the guards in check, the VIPs entertained, and a close eye on the players.
Do not get attached to Player 456, and definitely do not start fantasizing about Player 456.

"It's not a date," Inho clarifies for the nth time, glaring at him, "We just hang out after work."
"It's gonna be just you two? Like the past dozen 'hanging outs' right?"
"We just hang out after work," he repeats, looking at his reflection in the mirror hanging on the wall near the entrance and fixing a strand of hair.
Junho grins sharpens: "So I can come right?"
