Summary
Gi-hun was supposed to die on that island. His elimination was the only thing that stood between Jun-hee and the finish line, and he was ready to die so that she and her baby could live. He lost himself to those games. It was the death that he deserved.
But, at the last minute, the Front Man steps in. The game ends. The island is blown to bits. And Gi-hun is sent back to his miserable life. Only now, he has a baby and her injured, traumatized mother relying on him.
Death is no longer an option, at least not until Jun-hee gets back on her feet. This leaves Gi-hun drowning in guilt, screaming into an endless sea of shame and confusion, and the only person who can hear his cries is the same person that pulled him into the darkness.
In-ho has been hiding in the dark for years. Since becoming the Front Man, he hasn’t let anyone get too close, not even Jun-ho. Life is easier when no one can see him. But when Gi-hun stumbles into the darkness, beaten down by the same system that ate In-ho alive, In-ho takes a chance and reveals himself.
What starts as a quest for mutual understanding quickly spirals into a secret exploration of their twisted attraction. But nothing can stay hidden in the shadows forever.
