"In-ho."
"What?" He snapped out of it and looked into Gi-hun's eyes again.” - 😱😱😱 I can actually hear that WHAT? Like, automatic - as it’s his own name - and shocked at the same time. Gi-hun is actually calling him by name 😱
"I remember. That's what Jun-ho called you. In-ho."
They stared into each other's eyes.
"Not Young-il. Not Frontman."
"Is he…" Gi-hun's eyes widened. "Are you the man he was looking for? His brother?" - I knew he would eventually connect the dots. He’s not stupid! ❤️❤️❤️
I wonder why Gi-hun doesn’t press the point. He can’t accept silence for an answer, which, in itself is already an answer 👀 I hope we’ll see more of his reaction to this. He should be shocked and furious.
"Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me?"
"You're the winner. It's my job," he answered curtly.
"I'm not the winner," Gi-hun retorted. "Neither is she. I didn't jump." - Yes In-Ho, good excuse 😈 there’s either no winner or 2 winners but Gi-hun is right, the game didn’t end, nobody won. I hope he gets the money though. I know he doesn’t want it or care for it but he deserves to be the winner. He is the real winner, here and in canon 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"'Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist,'" In-ho said enigmatically.” - LOVE THE QUOTE ❤️
"Shit. I'm drunk." - 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
"C'mon, what am I gonna do? Kill the baby?" In-ho argued.
"Why wouldn't you?" Gi-hun shot back.
"I just saved the baby. And you, Seong Gi-hun, only a few hours ago. So I know it's hard, but you rest assured that I won't smother the baby, or you, after going to the trouble of bringing you both here."
"The baby is the winner," Gi-hun argued. "The one true winner. If you kill her, you can have the prize." - what happened to “I didn’t jump”? And no, the baby is not the bloody winner 🫠 didn’t to anything at all. Gi-hun is ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"I know your name is In-ho. And I know that Jun-ho knows you. And for some reason, maybe because you're family?, he didn't tell me that he did." - THE STUPID IDIOT 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
"Suit yourself, player 456. Sooner or later you'll have to sleep. You are only human, you know that. And eat. You'll have to do all those things. This is your new home now."
"For how long?"
"As long as I deem necessary," In-ho answered shortly.” - No wonder Gi-hun thinks he’s a prisoner. He doesn’t have any saying in this ☹️☹️☹️☹️
Loved the chapter ❤️ can’t wait for the next one. Gi-hun and The Frontman living together 😈 with a baby 😱
Maybe it’s good that pain and exhaustion keep him quieter than he would be normally or he would probably upend the boat lol 🫠 ----> so true!!! LOL he would!
Yep, I knew he would have noticed Jun-ho calling The Frontman by name, even if he didn’t use “Hyung”, Gi-hun will remember that name. ----> he does remember, he just has a lot on his plate, both physically and mentally. 😟
But my baby is in pain 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 WHY HE IS ALWAYS INJURED 😤 -----> in my Defense, that's a canon wound 🤷♀️
"Give me the baby and press that against the wound. It's still bleeding."
"No." Gi-hun flinched and held the baby protectively when In-ho got closer.
For fuck's sake. He took a deep breath and tried again.” - 😈😈😈😈😈 there he is! ----> I love writing him so stubborn and strong 🔥🔥🔥
In a way Gi-hun is a prisoner, but don't worry. He'll get the VIP treatment while at it 😏😏🔥😈
"Why won't she take it?" The Frontman looked at him, exasperated.
"The milk's cold," Gi-hun spoke softly. He was too weak to raise his voice.
"Well, that's all we got out here in the ocean."
"You need to warm it up."
"How am I supposed to do that?" The Frontman asked, clearly frustrated. "Shhh…" He tried rocking the baby with one arm, but it did nothing to appease the crying.
"I don't know. Why don't you try holding it against your skin for a while? Might make it warmer," Gi-hun suggested.” - DAD GI-HUN HELP 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ he knows because he’s done it before ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 he’s so sweet I can’t ❤️😭 ----> I know, right??? Dad Gi-hun is too adorable 🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕
“Part of his brain—the part that was not drowning in pain—marveled at the sight of that evil man feeding the baby a bottle of formula so gently.” - RIGHT? Shocking 👀 ---> shocking and sweet too 😏🥰
"Do you need help getting off the boat?"
Gi-hun snapped back to the Frontman talking to him.
"No."
"Go on, help him," the man told the guard.
"I said I don't need—" Gi-hun's words ended in a choked out moan as the pain from getting to his feet nearly made him pass out. "Get your hands off…" He breathed out heavily, "…me." He pushed the soldier's helping hands away and got off the boat on his own terms. It might not have been very wise, as the pain in his lower right abdomen was fierce, but he did find comfort in not needing the Frontman's help, or his soldiers' help for that matter.” - AND THERE HE IS AGAIN! My stubborn man ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love that in spite of the pain and exhaustion, he doesn’t want any help from the “evil people”. Even if he could die, we won’t cave!!! ----> yep! That's true to Gi-hun. He's closer to canon in this fic and I have a feeling that you'll appreciate it! 💕
"Yes, sir. I'll be back tomorrow around the same time. Let me know if you need me to be here earlier." - 😱 24 hours without supplies? I hope he’s got something in that house. Gi-hun is bleeding 😭😭😭 and hasn’t eaten! And there’s a 2/3 days old baby!!!! ---> how will they handle this??? 😱👀. I personally think that the lack of diapers is the worst problem now 😂😂😅
BUT I MISS THE SWEET FOOL SO MUCH 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I LOVE THE STRONG, STUBBORN GI-HUN BUT ALSO LOVE THE FLUFFY ONE ❤️😭 I hope he can be both in the near future 🥰 -----> same! Miss that ball of sunshine 😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥹🥹
“The man standing before him now was clearly less than rational. He had nearly died so many times in the past days that his fight and flight response was still very much activated and calling the shots.” - NEARLY being the KEY WORD THANK GOD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ----> 💔💔💔💔
“Gi-hun nodded. He mumbled a thank you and closed the door.” - so polite too 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 imagine thanking the evil bastard? Yes we know he saved him and he won’t be evil with him (RIGHT??? 👀👀👀) but Gi-hun doesn’t ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ he thinks there must be a dodgy reason ☹️ ------> Gi-hun doesn't know. And his paranoia will definitely act up.
“An island. The Frontman. Jun-hee's baby and I. That's batshit crazy.” - RIGHT?! It’s mental lol ---> but Oh so interesting! 🔥🔥😈😈
It makes sense for The Frontman to live away from society, but is the whole island his? Has he got people to go and work on it or in the house? I must admit, I can’t see him cleaning daily lol and he like it clean and tidy 😈 GI-HUN IS NOT A HOUSE WIFE 😤😤😤😤😤😤 neither am I so if him and I lived together it would be a mess 😅 but what about In-ho? ----> well, it is a big house, but I don't see In-ho having a problem keeping it tidy in the absence help. He comes off as the kind of man who would find it therapeutic to do the cleaning lol (for me anyway)
“Saving the winner. Protecting my identity. That's all.” - Oh, I see you’re already delusional 😈 didn’t take long lol 😅 ----> 🤭🤭🤭
"I…I didn't put on the shirt. If you're gonna do something about the wound, I figured…" He seemed a little unsure.
Shy?” - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥵🥵🥵🥵 you’re beautiful baby ----> he is 🥵🥵🥵🔥🔥🔥
“He turned around and walked toward him holding a glass filled with an amber-colored liquid.
"Drink," he said, pushing the glass into his left hand. The right one was still holding the towel against the wound.” - Oh? Getting him drunk already? 😈 on an empty stomach?! 😱 ----> yessss 😈😈😈
"This is a long cut, I'm afraid this won't be over soon," said the man watching him closely from the chair. "Can I go on?"
"Yes," Gi-hun answered stubbornly. "Just…the drink. I want more." - 😭😭😭😭 oh dear he’s gonna get drunk 😱 hopefully he won’t make a fool of himself, telling In-ho he liked Young-il 😈❤️----> now that would be embarrassing 😜😜
"I remember. That's what Jun-ho called you. In-ho."
They stared into each other's eyes.
"Not Young-il. Not Frontman."
"Is he…" Gi-hun's eyes widened. "Are you the man he was looking for? His brother?" - I knew he would eventually connect the dots. He’s not stupid! ❤️❤️❤️ ----> he is not! But he's been through more than most humans could handle 💔.
I wonder why Gi-hun doesn’t press the point. He can’t accept silence for an answer, which, in itself is already an answer 👀 I hope we’ll see more of his reaction to this. He should be shocked and furious. ---> give him a break, he's drunk and barely aware of his surroundings. 😅. He'll revisit this thought later 😉
"Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me?"
"You're the winner. It's my job," he answered curtly.
"I'm not the winner," Gi-hun retorted. "Neither is she. I didn't jump." - Yes In-Ho, good excuse 😈 there’s either no winner or 2 winners but Gi-hun is right, the game didn’t end, nobody won. I hope he gets the money though. I know he doesn’t want it or care for it but he deserves to be the winner. He is the real winner, here and in canon 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭---> he is and will always be the true winner 💔💔💔
"'Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist,'" In-ho said enigmatically.” - LOVE THE QUOTE ❤️ ----> 🙏🙏🤩🤩
"Suit yourself, player 456. Sooner or later you'll have to sleep. You are only human, you know that. And eat. You'll have to do all those things. This is your new home now."
"For how long?"
"As long as I deem necessary," In-ho answered shortly.” - No wonder Gi-hun thinks he’s a prisoner. He doesn’t have any saying in this ☹️☹️☹️☹️ ----> he doesn’t. But this will turn out not to be so bad 🤭😜😈
So happy you liked it, dear!
Thank you so much for the amazing comment!
Can't wait to show you more! 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕
