re: prev post, I’m actually on the ‘sang-woo is an ENTJ’ side of the discussion on that and I’m not 100% sold on in-ho as an INTJ, I could see ISTJ just as much
squid game actually doesn’t have a load of horrendous mistypes on PDB which is nice, with the exception of hyun-ju being voted as an enneagram 4 which is literally always applied to trans people purely for being trans. actually come to think of it I also don’t buy the case for her being an ISFP, she’s definitely an ENFJ which I think has the vote rn
Little AU where it's Sae-byeok that runs into Gi-hun in Seoul in S1E2, instead of Il-nam, and Gi-hun gets to apologize for hassling her about the money and she shares her Ramen with him. He asks her if she's old enough to drink and she scoffs and pours herself some soju. They play the bottle cap game.
They talk about the games.
Sae-byeok says she's going back. She reluctantly sums up her situation, without any real details, and Gi-hun returns the show of trust by telling his story too.
They make their agreement early. If one gets through it and the other doesn't, they'll help each other’s family.
She's even more of a daughter figure to him in the games and her death is that much more devastating.
it fucks me up that gi-hun’s first interaction with sae-byeok was to pick up her drink that he knocked over even though he was running for his life
and their last interaction was him realising she was hurt and immediately disregarding his own safety to seek help for her
followed by him cradling her lifeless body and sobbing with grief while repeating her name, continuing to cry for her even while restrained on the floor
he placed her down so gently too. before he grabbed the knife. he could have dropped her and lunged straight at sang-woo, but he was gentle with her
because he really was like a father to her from the very start, even though he was angry with her at first for what she’d done. he forgave her, like he would a scared kid who lashed out in anger
he grieved for her as much as he grieved for the friend he’d known since he was a child.
this is now a fic I’m planning on writing!
I’m not gonna do pre-game because we know that; she was recruited straight out of prison so there isn’t a whole lot to tell
stuff I’m planning to cover:
- the first day of the games; waking up, red light, green light, the vote (which way does she vote…?)
- the days spent outside after the ‘X’ vote wins, and returning to the games
- dalgona
- the “special game”
- events immediately preceding her first encounter with sae-byeok prior to the tug of war game
- offscreen events in the marble game
have I missed anything/are there any other moments you’d like to see? I can’t promise to include everything and some things might just not fit but I really want to write this!
I just had a thought; how did ji-yeong survive the night time brawl/“special game”? she wasn’t in gi-hun’s team at that point so she must have either hid or fought solo, right?
personally I think she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to kill people but if she was threatened she would absolutely have killed a man
I’m thinking shard of glass rather than bludgeoning someone with a metal bar. girlie’s already proficient with sharp objects
alternate take because suffering is fun: curled up under a bed in the foetal position with her hands over her ears waiting for it to be over

sae-byeok and your apartment was quiet. too quiet. it wasn't the normal comforting, peaceful, quiet, no. it was an eerie, haunting silence. you were seated on the couch, holding a mug of coffee, but not drinking. sae-byeok had been gone for 3 days. no goodbye, no texts or calls, she had just disappeared.
“unnie…?”
cheol’s little voice cut through silence as he walks into the lounge room. your eyes drift over to the little boy, his timid face tear stained and his eyes slightly puffy.
“d-do you know where sae-byeok is…?”
he looks up with hopeful eyes, though his voice cracks as he says her name, and your heart breaks at the sight of him; a scared little boy who just wants his sister to come home. he slowly walks towards you, his sock clad feet padding on the wooden floor. when you shake your head sadly at him, tears well up in his big brown eyes.
“i’m sorry cheol…i wish i knew.”
he nods sadly, glancing down at his feet and fidgeting with his hands. then, he looks up at you with a sniffle.
“c-can i have a hug…? i…i miss sae’s hugs…”
he asks, his bottom lip quivering as a single tear rolls down his cheek. you knew you had to be strong for him, and make sure he was okay, even if you weren’t.
“of course, cheol, you don’t need to ask for a hug”
your voice is soft and gentle as you place the mug of now cold coffee on the table, and he crawls onto the couch with you, and scooches closer to you. although it’s a little awkward at first, he swiftly gets comfortable and leans on your chest, shutting his eyes as more tears fall.
“t-thank you, y/n…”
your heart fills with an urge to protect and look after this fragile little boy, knowing it’s your duty as sae-byeoks girlfriend. and until you know where she is, your all cheol has.
