    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.

    -------

    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

    After a tragic car accident, a young detective's life falls apart. He barely escapes with his life, while his young brother continues to struggle in a coma. In the hospital, he meets a man who was supposed to be just a male nurse — his brother's guardian — but who becomes someone who restores his faith that even after the greatest pain, love can still be found.

    When the little boy finally opens his eyes, he sees something his older brother refuses to see — a spark between him and the male nurse. But fate, as always, has its own plans. Because just when everything seems to be falling into place, a diagnosis arrives that will change their lives forever...

    A story about love that heals. About pain that unites. And about hope that refuses to give up.

    Things take a turn when he’s thrown (literally) into the water and meets Gi-hun. The totally gorgeous tour guide.

    Summary

    Kara Sevda
    [Noun.] Turkish
    A blinding, desperate love for another person. A kind of love that makes you sick. Literally translates to "Dark Love".

    "You did it, hero. You stopped the games. You should be happy."

    Gi-hun had won. In-ho has failed to break his spirit. And the more he fails, the more his obsession with the man grows, plunging him into the black ocean of despair. A love that is keeping them both prisoners.

    "How long are you going to keep me here?"

    "As long as it takes."

    Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
    Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
    Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
    Dance me to the end of love

    The song they were dancing to felt like a letter to the future. In-ho knew that whatever they had couldn't last forever. Sooner or later, Gi-hun was going to disentangle himself from his web.

    He just wanted to dance with him until the end.

    Summary

    “The sweet, warm scent filled the air.
    In-ho froze.
    That wasn’t the scent of a beta — it was the unmistakable call of an omega.”

     

    In-ho never works with omegas. To him, they’re unstable, complicated… and dangerous to his flawless routine.

    Gi-hun desperately needs a job and has no choice but to lie, claiming to be a beta. Everything seems to go smoothly—until an accident forces them to get closer.

    Gi-hun’s scent awakens something overwhelming in In-ho — an instinct he never thought he’d feel, a desire he can’t control.

    Resisting that sweet aroma will be impossible.
    Surrender is only a matter of time.

    Summary

    A fairly assumed misconception was that a successful hit was all about the actual kill and the way it was executed. In reality, it took weeks and maybe even months of observation, tightly formed plans and having backup plans to have a successful hit.

    Inho most certainly saw Gihun like he was another of his hits, but here, the goal was to claim, not kill.

    *

    When Hwang Inho lays his eyes on Seong Gihun, his boss' husband and happily married to him, he decides he will have Gihun for himself, no matter the cost.

    And whether Gihun wants to or not.

    Summary

    Hwang In-ho has always hated Thursdays. So close to the end of the week, yet never close enough.

    So when Seong Gi-hun dies on a Thursday, it doesn’t exactly help.

    Moving on would already be impossible… until the next morning, when In-ho wakes up on a Thursday.

    And then again.
    And again.
    Always November 7, 2024.

    Given another chance, can In-ho save Gi-hun—or will he lose him every time?

    “He refused to take his medication at first, but we got him to take all his doses more or less on time,” she paused, “he was also calling out for a Ga-yeong and a Sang-woo, asking when they were going to come and visit.”

    Summary

    He was a pup, a young alpha passed out in the cold, and the sharp scent of mint radiated off of him through the wind.

    It'd been what lulled Gi-hun towards the back of the apartment buildings, the alleyways he sometimes frequented to feed cats and smoke in peace. He found a different kind of stray now, even if his senses felt alight, and his gut instinct screamed to run. He bent on a knee and leaned in close. Close enough that he could see the sight of swollen lips, bruised cheekbones, and a jaw that was marred with one too many shades of purple, the skin healing there too.

    Gi-hun tried to swallow down the empathy, but it swallowed him whole instead.

    He took in stray cats before. A human couldn't be any different. Even if the stranger was an alpha.

    Right?

    Summary

    “You’re funny. And you don’t get mad when I talk a lot. My hyung says I talk too much, but he never tells me to be quiet. And you don't too. So I think you and hyung would get along. He doesn't really have any friends anyway. He spends all of his time with me.”

    “Kid, if your hyung’s really a cop, I’m the last person he’d want to get along with.”

    Jun-ho tilted his head, confusion flickering in his wide, dark eyes. “Why?”

    “Because,” Gi-hun said finally, the word dragged out like gravel, “I don’t like cops.”

    Gi-hun has a short break, In-ho has a job to do, and Jun-ho… well, Jun-ho is here to make sure neither of them get away with anything.

    Summary

    Gihun has been obsessed with voice actor Hwang Inho for over five years, listening to anything and everything he has ever worked on, be it children's fairy tales or documentaries. Gihun doesn't care as long as he can listen to the deep cadence of Inho's voice. He goes to every event and supports him in every way he can, always purchasing the VIP pass for the meets-and-greets, so when a surprise for those with such a pass is announced, Gihun is understandably excited, hoping to get closer to his idol.

    It's too bad Inho has some plans on his own.

    Or, no matter what universe they're in, Inho is always the bigger freak.

    Summary

    In-ho’s coffee leaps into the air, high enough that he’d laugh if he wasn’t (literally) seeing red. The hot liquid rains down, splattering all over his white button-up.

    Seong Gi-hun is mortified, his face matching the shade of his hair as he realizes what he’s just done.

    “Oh my god!” he cries, grabbing a handful of napkins from the register. “I’m so sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going!”

    In-ho's never believed in karma. If karma was real, Oh Il-nam would’ve died ages ago. If karma was real, he would've died in his games. But he didn't.

    Maybe, somehow, this is his karma.

    Gi-hun gets on the plane to L.A. In-ho follows with one goal and one goal only: make sure Gi-hun sets roots in America. Make sure he doesn’t return to the games.

    But when In-ho (or rather, Young-il) continuously bumps into Gi-hun, he realizes this might be harder than he initially thought. Especially with how Gi-hun’s looking at him. Karma’s a bitch.

    Summary

    If he's the winner in this situation then why does he feel nothing?

    Gi-hun lies on the frontman's bed, no noise bouncing on the walls, just the stillness of the moment. The frontman's uniform drapes loosely on Gi-hun's figure, his dull eyes locking straight onto In-ho's glassy pupils, almost leaking tears off his.

    In-ho finds him intriguing, almost too intriguing.

    "You're too fragile, Gi-hun," a soft breath, suddenly heat surges in between their bodies, heart rate increasing by each second.

    Summary

    "I will let everyone go."

    "And I'm supposed to believe you?"

    "You have my word. I only have one condition."

    Gi-hu knitted his brows.

    "From now on, you will belong to me."

    *

    Hwang In-ho is a broken man who just wants to recreate the family he has lost. A fallen angel kicked out of heaven's grace.
    But to Gi-hun, he's just the man who comes to take him every night while hiding behind his black mask. The price he has to pay for destroying the games and saving countless lives.

    Once Frontman's identity is revealed, a blinding rage gives Gi-hun the will to fight for his own life and freedom.

    But In-ho has an ace up his sleeve to keep him chained by his side.

    Will Gi-hun be able to run away from his tormentor? Or will he die trying?
