Summary
“Hwang Inho,” His assailant introduced stiffly and rattled off a lengthy sequence of numbers.
“Eh?” They’d given Gihun something for the pain and it was making him a little dizzy.
“My name and badge number,” The man said, his jaw clenched tight as he advised, “you should lodge a formal complaint to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency when you are able to walk, sir.”
“Oh…ok.”
“Did you remember what I just said?”
Gihun’s head lolled. He blinked groggily at the figure dressed in all black. “Are you my nurse? This needle in my arm hurts. Could you blow on it?”
The man didn’t move.
“Please?” He whined, blinking back tears.

Summary
Cautiously, as if testing the waters, Gi-hun cleared his throat. “So… a member of your staff wants to pay to…slap me…?”
The guard was silent for a beat. Then, deadpan: “No.”
Gi-hun let out a breath. “Oh. Well, that’s—”
"You are an omega, are you not?" The guard interjected smoothly, their tone flat and clinical. "A high-ranking staff member is seeking companionship. They are willing to compensate you for your time. As previously stated, precautions will be taken to ensure you remain in optimal condition for the next game."
Oh?
OH.
Or: Middle-aged omega Gi-hun, a down-on-his-luck gambling addict, had entered the Squid Game out of desperation, only to find himself in an unexpected "bonus round" with the alpha Front Man. Which would turn out to be the first of several encounters over the years between the two of them that would challenge their beliefs and reshape their understanding of the world around them.

Summary
“You need to stay the fuck away from that Café, especially from Gi-hun,” Jun-ho warned. "They’re my friends. I don't want them dead. Everyone around you ends up dead."
In-ho didn’t let the sting show. He chuckled though, at how little his brother truly knew. “Your friend owes me a debt.”
"What?"
*
In an attempt to salvage the coffee shop he, Jung-bae and Sang-woo opened two years ago, Gi-hun gets a loan from somewhere he knows he shouldn’t.
He’ll pay it off, anyways. He just doesn’t understand why the feared gang leader—The Frontman—has a soft spot for him. Gi-hun cares little for what’s under his hard mask and cold exterior. His eyes are on In-ho, his good friends older brother, even if Jun-ho tells him to forget about it.

Summary
By day, Gihun sits in an office. By night, he sits by the Steinway in one of Gangnam's most famous jazz bars and loses himself in the music, which has always been his first love. He spends the late hours of the evening sitting by the well-worn keys, letting his music speak to anyone who cares enough to listen.
Inho's life seems polished on the outside; he’s wealthy, smart and CEO of the company he inherited from his late father. However, hidden behind the mask of composure is a man who is broken, fragile and weak. Since his wife's death in 2018, he's locked every door leading to his heart, fearing he'll lose anyone who gets too close.
Then one night, on a whim, Inho steps back into the bar she once loved, and hears Gihun play. It's comforting, reassuring and warm all at once. It hits something buried deep, something he thought he'd shut away for good. And for the first time in years, Inho thinks he could feel again.
!slow updates!
