Thinking About Gihun's Eyes Softening When He Sees Inho Laugh... Which Of Course Could Mean Nothing

you know a fic is good when it has this

let's take it back to season 1 so we can have both sangihun AND ginho at the same time 🤭 gihun always got the most possessive & territorial bastards around him r.i.p. his hole 🙏

(can you imagine s1 gihun with inho 👀?? the fluffy hair? the constantly smiling? the goofiness? inho would destroy him 😭)

yes! sangwoo and inho posturing like peacocks to impress gihun and hes just watching them like "☺️☺️so happy that my boys get along🥰🥰"

meanwhile sangwoo is trying to poison inho's food and inho is trying to induce night terrors in sangwoo

gihun just sighs happily bc for him this is domestic bliss and he finds their "playing" funny, never even suspecting that they would literally murder each other for a chance to get to his pussy first 💀

also this meme flashed through my brain like a ptsd flashback 🫡

Imagine if it was the Salesman that Inho tasked to try and distract Junho/keep him from investigating the games instead of the boat captain, and the Salesman does too good of a job (they hook up repeatedly and then proceeds to actually get into a relationship).

Inho, who's keeping tabs on his brother's social media accounts across all platforms, sees one day that Junho posts a photo of them together with the caption "one year anniversary with this weirdo ❤️" and flips the fuck out, because that was not the deal.

And that ironically is what gets Inho to finally show up in his full Frontman getup, kidnap Junho in that limo, and tell his baby bro very very seriously that he has to break up with his boyfriend because that man is a freak. Stranger danger.

(Salesman probably fake cries to Junho about how Inho threatened him and the Hwang bros get into a shouting match, and Junho gets to say the classic rebellious teenage girl line of "you don't get to tell me what to do, you're not my dad!" and Inho goes quiet and cries a little on the inside.)

Junho: Mission Accomplished. I got laid and got my brother to come crawling back. Two birds with one stone. 🤪

if you hate Gi-hun, i'll just assume you're jealous that he has bigger game than you do/j

actually the main reason i think gi-hun is a good person despite his flaws is because of this:

after all that happened in the first games and he was able to go home with the money to pay for his mothers treatment, he found his mother dead. any other person would be broken and would have likely ended their life at some point or become completely destroyed.

but what does he do? he picks himself up and once he realizes the games are still going on, he dedicates his life to making sure no one else has to go through this.

yet people want to complain about him not getting on that plane. yes his daughter deserves to have her father in her life, but her life isn’t threatened and she has a stable support system. he was willing to actively risk his life to save hundreds of others from death and trauma.

i dont care what yall say. gi hun has a good heart and doesn’t deserve some of the hate he gets.

Ok but this song is so heartbreaking and so beautiful and it gives Steven Universe and AGHHHHHH

What I love about shipping Gi Hun and In Ho is that its fun both ironically and unironically, on one side you have all the memes and everyone being in on the joke, even the director of Squid Game joked that theres some scenes between Gi Hun and In Ho that look romantic. And there's the serious, intense and passionate side, there is without a doubt a strong connection between these two tragic men and if Season 2 was the last one, there are MANY scenes that suggest a possibility of love between them after everything is over, even if it's not the most healthy kind of love, it IS there. And thats why I love these characters so much.

every day i make choices. not the right ones, usually, but choices nevertheless.
