Summary
“Don't,” Will warns, his voice trembling. “He’s good to me. He doesn't look at me like I’m broken, Mike. He doesn't look at me and see a monster or a victim. He just sees me.” Will huffs as he wipes a tear from his cheek.
“And that’s enough for you?” Mike’s voice drops to a whisper, his eyes glassy and fierce. “Just being ‘seen’ by some stranger who doesn't know a thing about you? He doesn't know what you’ve been through. He doesn't know what it’s like to lose everything. He just sees the version of you that’s easy to love,” Mike bites out, angry and vengeful.
Will flinches as if Mike had slapped him. The anger drains out of him, replaced by a raw, aching hurt. “Fuck you, Mike. Maybe I want to be easy to love. Did you ever think of that? Maybe I’m tired of being difficult.”Or, A year after the party goes their separate ways, Mike visits Will, only to find he's moved on.

Summary
Will’s voice trails off, and he runs a hand over his face. Mike waits a few moments to see if he’ll say anything else, but when Will doesn’t, he takes a shaky breath and tries to find his own courage.
“And you thought, what?” Mike whispers. “That - that it wouldn’t mean as much to me if it came from you?”
Will flinches. He’s still turned away from Mike, and there’s a desperation in his voice when he whispers back, “Mike, please…”
Or:
After returning to the Wheeler house, Mike finds out the truth about Will’s painting.

Summary
In-ho bends over Gi-hun, dismayed with his revenge intentions and conflicting feelings. In-ho gives him the most understanding and gentle look of Young-il, which hasn't worked for a long time. It's just a matter of habit.
“Gi-hun, let's switch teams,” he suggests cautiously. “You're not a murderer at all, I'm afraid you might... lose.”
Gi-hun frowns and looks away to hide from Young-il’s pleading, almost begging eyes. He's not ready to give in.
“I can handle it,” his tone is sharp and unambiguous, leaving no room for argument. In-ho looks him up and down and nods, admitting defeat.
“If you're sure, then fine,” he says. “Let's stick together, I'll help you with your opponent, and you protect me.”
An AU which explores a possible development of the events of s3, if In-ho decides to stay after Gi-hun's revolt. In other words, In-ho and Gi-hun play hide and seek together.
