    Summary

    Gi-hun paid what he owed and now keeps his place running. He’s patching things up with his mother one visit at a time, waiting for his daughter’s calls that come more often these days. And there’s Jun-ho, younger and steadier than he has any right to be, still turning up at the end of every day like he belongs there, easy as breathing.

    The problem is Jun-ho’s brother: scrubbed to nothing, blockers on, even off duty, looking a little more hollow each time. Whenever Gi-hun’s scent spikes, he looks for windows or exits, like looseness doesn’t fit the rules he lives by.

    Gi-hun isn’t a fool, and he knows not every scent matches. But this is different. It feels personal, and it pisses him off every time. Whatever’s wrong with Hwang In-ho, he keeps making it Gi-hun’s problem.

    Summary

    What if, when Gi-hun was taken for his second games, it was still too early for the games to begin-but In-ho decided to bring him in anyway?
    What if the sedative he used wasn't the one they normally gave to players?
    What if Gi-hun was taken to the Front Man's personal quarters instead of the players' dormitory?
    What if, by the time the games actually began, he had forgotten everything that happened in those days?
    What if In-ho couldn't forget any of it?
    And what if those few days changed everything for them?

     

    This is meant to be unhinged, so if you’re easily triggered—this probably isn’t for you. That said, in all fairness, I know I’ll end up slipping into fluff too. So if you’re not into soft moments either… well, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s a delicate balance. Beware.

    Summary

    So, we all agree that simping after the entire squid game cast is the best hobby in the world?

    In this story, In-ho's ex-wife is alive, unaware that the man she once loved has become the mysterious and ruthless Front Man. When Jun-ho's police investigation unravels, she's unwittingly pulled into the deadly world of the Squid Games, setting off a dangerous chain of events that will change her quiet life dramatically. Not only will she uncover the dark truth of the island, but she must survive the Salesman's growing interest in her, and confront the twisted remnants of the husband she once thought she knew.

    Meanwhile, In-ho must walk the line between protector and perpetrator. It's clear she's a liability to the cruel system he manages, but he still can't bring himself to do destroy her. Instead, he begins his own game—one where the rules are his alone, and only he can win.

    Summary

    “Why,” Gihun said, voice trembling with the effort to hold it all in. “Why did you let me live?”

    Inho blinked. His smile faltered, replaced by confusion, “What are you talking about?”

    “I said,” Gihun was on his feet before he even realized it, the chair screeching across the floor as he lunged across the table. “Why did you let me live?!”

    Seong Gihun is in a weird place. He finds out that everyone is alive and never experienced the Games. He assumes this is the afterlife and realizes perhaps he can finally heal.

    Then he meets Hwang Inho.

    Problem #1: Inho's existence means this place isn't heaven. It’s real.
    Problem #2: Everyone finds this Inho endearing. Even the stray cats.
    Problem #3: Their friends think Inho is in love and Gihun is being stubborn, so they try to get them together. Which definitely isn’t helping.

    -------

    Gihun is in a world where everybody lives but he believes the Inho here is still manipulative. So, he makes it a personal mission to be nice to everybody...

    ...Except Inho.

    Summary

    Gi Hun lives quietly in house 456, managing his incomplete paraplegia through careful routines—until the empty house next door fills with life. The Hwang family moves into 457: a widowed police officer, his new wife, energetic five-year-old Jun Ho, and nineteen-year-old In Ho, who carries his mother's death like a weight he can't set down.
    In Ho is preparing for the police academy, following duty rather than desire, tired of pretending he has everything figured out. When late-night text conversations turn into secret garden meetings, two young men who've been existing rather than living discover that healing doesn't always happen alone.
    Between Gi Hun's tentative steps toward independence and In Ho's struggle to find his own voice, they learn that sometimes the person who sees you most clearly is the one living just beyond your garden fence.
    A gentle story about finding courage in unexpected places and discovering that some connections happen quietly, in stolen moments under starlight.

    And, apparently, blind man — because until the very end, he failed to see that he wasn’t the only one on this path.

    Summary

    The Frontman isn't surprised by Gi-hun's trauma. He knows firsthand what that island can do, how it breaks someone's spirit. He can only imagine how much worse it feels being back a second time. Nevertheless, the erratic, skittish behavior that Gi-hun starts to display during the games intrigues him. Worries him, even.
    It doesn't take him long to realize that Gi-hun has not one, but two familiar faces among the other players. An old friend, but also an ex, abusive boyfriend.
    As Young-il allows In-ho to experience the games and be close to the object of his fascination, he gets to watch Gi-hun unravel before his eyes, initiating a new, exciting, and equally lethal game between the Frontman and the player who wants to destroy him.
