Okay, but like. imagine if Dae Ho was on the thanos/semi/namgyu team instead of min su? Like Semi choses minsu to join her in the second game b/c she thinks he won't deceive her, but if we're talking about people who look like they won't deceive you, I feel like Mr. Puppy Dog Energy Dae Ho tops that list.
Also like, knowing that he's not really in the marines from S3, Daeho might be hesitant to stick around people who actually were in the marines in case they catch him in his lie. Or else you can just make it so he never approaches Gihun's group in the first place lol.
I know that in canon he's older than them (Dae Ho is like 37 whereas everyone else is a 96/97/98 baby so like 27,28,29 but TOP and Jaewon (Namgyu's actor) are in their 30s so its not a stretch for Dae Ho to either be younger in a Fanon or else for Semi to think he's younger at first glance)
ANYWAYS, justifications aside, I feel like having DaeHo on that team would definitely change the team dynamics, since he's not as much of a pushover as Minsu was, plus as a guy with 4 sisters he would stand up for Semi more when she and Namgyu argued and there would just be like less tension and animosity overall in the group with him mediating. On the other hand, he is still a pretty gentle and go with the group kind of guy like minsu, and in a crowd of people he's not trying as hard to kiss up to, he might be more subdued than in the series.
This whole thing came up because I was reading Daegyu lol. Like Namgyu straight up bullies Minsu, but with Daeho who is bigger, stronger, and older than him, I feel like he'd take a much different approach and I can see Namgyu sucking up to him, and if that works, flirting with him or seducing him to win Daeho firmly over to his side. Like, he uses Thanos for protection and drugs, but Namgyu might not be certain how long that partnership is going to last since Thanos could just crash out at anytime and Gyeongsu is just a groupie. He hates Semi and the feeling is mutual. Probably the best ally he could ask for is Daeho, but Daeho is very clearly paired with Semi (there is NO WAY he would abandon her in mingle like minsu LOL. and Namgyu wouldn't even think about attacking Semi at night with a fork with Daeho around) so Namgyu has to figure out how to win Daeho over to his side somehow ,,, and yeah. It's kind of a fun fanfic idea maybe I'll play around with it a little.
