Summary
Hwang In-ho stared at the square mask. None of the others noticed the look of intent in his gaze, and the almost-imperceptible shake of his head.
The soldier inserted the key into the lock and twisted it. There was a snap. He pulled away the piece of broken metal and held it up.
“The key has broken in the lock,” he said matter-of-factly. “Players 456 and 001 will have to remain shackled. I’m sorry.”
---
In which In-ho devises an excuse to stay (quite literally) by Gi-hun's side. Story continues into post Season 2.

Summary
“If you do as I say, I won’t tell my guards to shoot them”, the frontman said casually. As if they were discussing the weather.
Gi-hun clenched his hands into fists behind his back.
“Will you let them leave?”, Gi-hun asked, he couldn’t hide the desperation in his voice.
“Hmm… it depends” the frontman leaned back in his chair and put his hands on the armrests. “How obedient can you be for me?”
***
Gi-hun struggles with difficult emotions after the failed riot.
In-ho is struggeling with some feelings as well.Bookmarked by gihunion

Summary
"Whatever shattered moral compass I have left drew me to you, and this is as far as it took me. I’m here. I’m yours. Fix me, pawn me, melt me for scrap - fuck it. I’m just so tired of being broken.”
Picks up directly after the events of Season 2. Gi-hun has a lot to learn about The Frontman’s intentions, and fast if they have any hopes of surviving. They have the help of a loyal guard, and perhaps even each other, but can they trust anyone else in the pursuit of their lost cause? Stay tuned for more games, plot twists, and a demented but beautiful romance.

Summary
"The Front Man turned, and though his expression was hidden, Gi-hun could feel the smirk in his voice.
“Put him in there with the traitor.”
A guard in a black hazmat suit chuckled darkly, and before Gi-hun could react, he was shoved through the doorway. The door slammed shut behind Gi-hun with a resounding finality, the lock clicking into place.
...
Then, his eyes landed on the figure slumped in the chair.
His breath caught in his throat. His vision blurred at the edges as he stumbled forward, his heart hammering against his ribs. Young-il. He was here. He was alive.
Gi-hun’s legs felt like they might give out beneath him as he crossed the room, his footsteps echoing in the silence."***
Set immediately after the end of season 2. In which Young-il/In-ho is the Front Man, until he isn't. A tale of how his own guards betray In-ho, but he's too focused on redeeming himself and trying to win Gi-hun back to care. Pining, slow burn and redemption mixed with doubt and a lot of angst.

Summary
Hwang In-ho was born into slavery in Joseon. After his parents were murdered, young In-ho escapes to the United States with the help of a missionary man, grows up in New York and becomes a Marine Corps officer. Decades later, he returns to his homeland with the mission of eliminating a traitor who was selling valuable information to Japan.
Two snipers, one target, and a mutual obsession neither of them was prepared for - In-ho meets a member of the Righteous Army, a young man from a poor family who uses his forced social status to gain valuable information for his people. Fascinated by his struggles and ideals, In-ho finds it impossible to leave Joseon until he learns more about Gi-hun - and that, needless to say, was the beginning of his end.

Summary
"I hate you." Gi-hun says between sniffs. “I hate you.”
In-ho drops the gun, pulls his arm and takes him into a hug. Gi-hun doesn't hug him back, but rests his forehead on his shoulder. "I hate you."
"I know." He runs his fingers through Gi-hun's hair; it really is growing back. "I know."
“I hate you.” His tears dampen In-ho's shirt but he doesn't care. He doesn't dare to let him go.
“Shh… I know.”
The island was destroyed. All that's left are two winners who are learning to deal with the burden of survival.

Summary
Friends invite Gi-hun to their get-together party and encourage him to bring his partner with him. Gi-hun panics and promises to come with his boyfriend. Needless to say, he doesn't have one. He's sure he'll end up suffering the torture of “how do I explain to everyone that my boyfriend is just really busy at work and can't come if there really is no boyfriend at all and I obviously look stupid trying to pretend there is” at dinner, however, when he arrives he finds out that he does, in fact, have a boyfriend. Well, maybe it's only the second time he sees this man, but who counts?
Or: Gi-hun accidentally tells a stranger at a bar that he lied to his friends about the existence of his boyfriend. In-ho can't resist taking this chance to get close to the man who won his attention at first sight. Everything goes according to plan.

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
Hwang In-ho, elite hitman. Clean, calculated, and high-value only. In-ho works under a shadowy contract network tied to wealthy and powerful figures—politicians, CEOs, legacy families. He doesn’t ask questions; he finishes the job. Quietly. Without mess.
Assigned to assassinate South Korea’s golden boy, supermodel Seong Gi-hun. But the job’s gone off-script. In-ho’s been trailing him for days, watching him, learning him. Instead of pulling the trigger, he got too close. He let Gi-hun touch him, talk to him, break him. And now? He’s caught in a dangerous spiral... torn between duty and desire, between the man he’s supposed to kill and the man he’s starting to want.
Or, In-ho is a hitman. He falls in love with his target. Now he’s fucked.

Summary
If this wasn’t love, then his entire life had been a lie, and he refused to believe that. He refused to believe it wasn’t real, that he had done what he’d done and become what he’d become for nothing. He refused to believe his feelings for Gi-hun were just an illusion, or him finally going insane. No. This was real. This had to be real.
The rebellion never happens, In-ho and Gi-hun play Hide and Seek, they get a little freaky afterwards (of course), but their story doesn't end there: in this universe, In-ho actually has the balls to do something about his feelings.

Summary
“Young-il! I know you’re there! Face me, you coward! FACE ME!”
His voice bounced off the walls, ragged with fury and heartbreak. In-ho couldn’t bring himself to look away. Gi-hun stood alone, Jun-hee’s baby cradled against his chest, swaying slightly as if the weight might drag him down.
The VIPs beside him stirred. He could hear the rustle of fur, the clink of ice in crystal glasses, the irritation of people unaccustomed to dealing with real human emotion.
“What’s he doing?” Eagle asked lazily. “He won, why is he so angry?”
“You’re asking why the maniac who came back willingly is angry?” Panther replied, already bored again.
But In-ho knew. He was daring In-ho to talk to him again. Because they both knew that he had just lost. When Player 333—one who had proven himself to be nothing but selfish and self-serving—had said, “Look after her,” then started the game, and thrown himself off the platform before Gi-hun could even blink, Gi-hun had proven that his faith in humanity wasn’t misplaced.

Summary
“I’m going to fucking kill you.” Gi-hun hisses, his voice breaking on the words.
In-ho stares up at him, his breathing uneven, and for a moment, something other than pain curls in his chest. “You’re so beautiful when you’re angry,” he says softly, his voice low and almost reverent.
It starts with a cold night and stolen moments in the dark - Gi-hun, wrapped up in Young-il, clinging to his warmth and whispered half-truths. But there's another man he can't stop thinking about, the one hiding behind a mask.
When he finally puts the pieces together, it should change everything. Instead, it changes him.
(aka: In-ho warns the guards about Gi-hun’s plans, and thus brings his little rebellion to the ground before it even starts. now he has to cuddle with his crush to stay warm - how unfortunate! especially because Gi-hun won't stop talking about how much he wants to kill him)

Summary
During Gi-hun's first watch after the second game, something happens between Gi-hun and Young-il (Hwang In-ho) that leaves Gi-hun conflicted when he finds himself wanting more. After the failed rebellion, Gi-hun is forced to stay in In-ho's quarters to watch the remainder of the games. When their relationship becomes more complicated, both men fight against themselves and their trauma as they begin to sink into the deep pit of their growing obsession.
Neither were expecting to become wrapped up in each other as much as they did, and neither of them were expecting to do anything it takes to stay together.
