"You guys are actually so stupid for believing me. I’m fake, a liar, a cocksucker, and on top of that, a sadomasochist." - hwang in-ho || i love Gi-hun, lets be friends!!
I'm 19 years old, Latina, pronouns she/her. I'm completely obsessed with Squid Game, specifically Gi-hun, my beautiful baby who deserves all the chocolate milk in the world! (And In-ho. But I hate him. And love him.)
Feel free to send me a direct message or ask! I love chatting, especially about Gi-hun, In-ho, or any character played by Lee Jung-jae and Byung-hun, or the actors themselves! I love interacting, so don't be shy about sending me a long message, I'll always read it!
You can ask me anything, but avoid topics involving scat, farts, or vomit (the character can vomit, but without emphasis on it). And be careful with topics involving explicit gore or amputations, it was a trigger until recently and I can still feel a little sick, but it's allowed!
Despite this, this is NOT a place to intimidate people with these preferences. Everyone has their place in the fandom, no matter if I don't like or support the preference/ship. You will be blocked.
My dear mutuals, a kiss, I love all you. And let's talk about Gi-hun!!
In-ho takes his old police uniform out of the closet.
He wants to check out Gi-hun’s motel from the inside. He’s sure Gi-hun has something in there—all he has to do is print out a fake warrant, claiming suspicious behavior reported by nearby businesses. No one ever goes into the motel; it’s always the same car coming and going. A car pulls up in front, full of men, but only one gets out—and he returns with a bag full of stuff.
When Gi-hun answers the door, he thinks: Shit. They’ve found me out. Plan B.
Bribe the cop? No. Seduce the cop.
And that’s how they end up having sex all night long at the motel, and every time the cop comes back to “check up” on things, they do it all over again.
- He went through a growth spurt around age 10 when he got really skinny; Malsson would stuff him with food, and Gi-hun never complained.
- He always played in the neighborhood, ever since he was little. The neighbors would see him running around with a bunch of kids; he got into trouble because of that more than once
- Mrs. Cho would only let Sangwoo go out to play if Gi-hun promised to look after him (and even then, she was still really worried)
- Gi-hun was the kind of kid that if he didn’t go out to play, no one else would
- Sometimes Gi-hun would have lunch at a neighbor’s house, and when he got home, he’d eat lunch again
- The younger kids adored him, and whenever one wanted to play with his group, he’d take charge
- Gi-hun always came home filthy. Sometimes Malsson would give him a bath because he couldn’t take it anymore. Gi-hun would come out bare-skinned, but clean and smelling fresh
This guy, with his bowl cut and mischievous smile, who runs around the neighborhood with friends, who's the best at playing games, who TORE HIS SHIRT (literally) just to win
He buries his face into that soft sweater, on top of the steady fake heartbeats. The embrace is as suffocating as the familiar smell, his only refuge from the raging storm outside.
my piece for the @squidbang event! inspired by "Homecoming" by @datoutou3373 💖 always a pleasure working with her! this story makes me so emotional it's not funny.. so I tried my best portraying the deep sadness it made me feel into this piece! please read the fic if you haven't!
An AU in which the recruiter’s note includes instructions for Gi-hun to wait outside the motel every Friday until the scheduled date. He does so; a black car pulls up, and a mechanical voice tells him to put on the blindfold, adding that there’s no point in chasing after them, trying to kidnap them, or anything like that. The recruiter has planted bombs in the motel; any inappropriate behavior will blow everything up, including the money Gi-hun uses for the operations.
Or, every Friday, In-ho takes Gi-hun for a drive around Seoul, blindfolded, while they talk (and argue).
Inho offering Gihun wine and food and Gihun sticking his nose up at it, and just arguing with Inho about the games.
And the masked officer and the recruiter now have to listen to Inho bitch about Gihun being stubborn and mope around because he doesn’t think Gihun likes him….
He’s an idiot, Your Honor. At least he always keeps drinks, lube, and condoms within easy reach—just in case he needs them?
And Gi-hun doesn’t understand why this man changes the subject whenever he wants to talk about the games. The Frontman asks him how his week went and if he’s been eating more, while offering him some snacks (the last time Gi-hun accepted, In-ho tried to put a shrimp in his mouth, and Gi-hun bit his finger).

Sometimes In-ho treats Gi-hun like a baby in public when they're with their group of friends, just to be affectionate. But Gi-hun cuts him off, embarrassed and hearing the jokes and giggles from Jung-bae, Dae-ho, and Jun-hee. But when Gi-hun does the same thing to get back at him, In-ho completely melts
So do you mean like baby-talk specifically or…? Cause yeah, while goofy, I imagine Gihun would have a relatively thick skin for that. I mean Inho would absolutely fold if Gihun baby-talked him in public but that’s besides the point. Like what specifically does Inho do and then what does Gihuj try to copy for payback?
Gihun realizes very quickly that his plan was flawed from the start, but Jungbae, Daeho, and Junhee realized quicker than he did and are excusing themselves so the two lovebirds can be alone.
And now Gi-hun is using a baby talk, pampering In-ho, giving him little kisses and hugs, and every time he tries to pull away, In-ho looks at him like this 🥺

The first gift Gi-hun gave In-ho when they got together was a camera.
Jun-ho mentioned how In-ho used to love taking photos, but when his wife fell ill, he sold his camera to help pay for her treatment. Since then, he had completely lost that habit—so much so that In-ho didn’t even use his cell phone to take photos, nor did he want to hang them up around the house.
The first photo was of Gi-hun making dinner. The second was of Jun-ho playing with the baby. Both were framed.
Inho takes hundreds of pictures of Gihun, Junho and the bay and of Gayeong when she comes to visit.
The whole apartment is filled with them and they all look so good! Gihun tells Inho he should try and be a professional photographer but Inho says he just likes taking pictures of the most important people in his world.
In-ho's new hobby is organizing his photo albums! He has a whole bookshelf full of them, and when his camera finally fills up and he gets the photos developed, he loves organizing them and showing them to everyone!

i have an inhun thought that teeters on the edge of thoughts i only tell kiara and thoughts that i could tell my tumblr blog Like it’s not really that crazy if you know me but it’s still stupid porn logic that makes me look insane
ok i put it in the replies but my gf said to post it and i do what she tells me to so I’ll just put it under the cut
inho and gihun both attend an all boys college and inho has the Fattest crush on gihun . he finally gets the chance to fuck his throat between classes and he cums So Much that it makes gihun’s chest swell 6 sizes. Gihun has to go to class with nearly double d’s and can’t tell a single soul what the hell caused such a drastic change in such a short time frame
@misscandyla since you wanted more! Copy and pasted my original points but added more of what I guess I would call my outline for this idea. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll write the fic lol
Starts off as a role reversal of sorts that eventually becomes a joint Front Man scenario.
Gi-hun joins the games earlier on. Il-nam still joins to play during his run as canon. After Gi-hun wins, Il-nam coerces Gi-hun into joining by threatening Ga-yeong's life, so it's not a willing arrangement on Gi-hun's end.
In-ho eventually joins the games. Gi-hun becomes obsessed with him and his reasons for joining. Gi-hun might have tried (and failed) to desensitize himself to every sob story the players have, but this one hits too close to home. The sick loved one waiting for his return. The child depending on him, even if unborn in this case. It reminds him too much of why he once played, who he played for.
Il-nam constantly undermining Gi-hun, even as he praises his work as Front Man. Has the Masked Officer enforce Gi-hun's punishments, gives In-ho the knife behind his back, and doesn't tell Gi-hun that he eventually plans on offering In-ho the position.
Gi-hun has been known to intervene on a player's behalf from time to time, hence part of why the punishments are a thing. It never extended beyond the bounds of the game though, so Il-nam realizes his fascination for Player 132 is quickly spiraling into something more personal when he discovers there was a single "donation" made towards treatment for In-ho's wife. Maybe towards the end, Gi-hun even planned on faking In-ho's death to get him out of there, but Il-nam finds out about it and that's when Il-nam offers In-ho the knife. Forces Gi-hun to watch him kill the rest of the finalists.
Limo scene where, unlike canon, Gi-hun talks to In-ho and neither of them are masked or blindfolded. In-ho doesn't know about his wife's death, but Gi-hun does. Tells In-ho he's sorry about his loss, how he wishes he could have done more for her, for what it's worth. In-ho doesn't get to press him on it before the gas knocks him out, but it does give him the inevitable lead about where the "donation" came from, and sparks his own fixation with Gi-hun.
Although, when I say Gi-hun is obsessed, he's obsessed, especially once he sees In-ho falling down a familiar path of grief that he went through after his own games. Uses In-ho's tracker to keep tabs on him. Shows up at his wife's funeral. Probably has broken into his apartment a couple of times. But always keeping his distance to In-ho's frustration. Never speaking to him directly.
In-ho staging a suicide attempt to force Gi-hun to finally speak with him. Gi-hun calls him in a panic. Then, realizing what happened, he tries to convince him to move on. To go back to Jun-ho. To grieve and live and forget about him, about the games. (They both know he won't.) Little does Gi-hun know he wasn't the only one keeping tabs on In-ho after his big win.
When Il-nam has Gi-hun invite In-ho to meet with them, Gi-hun doesn't know what to expect, but it's the first time Gi-hun and In-ho are speaking face-to-face since the limo and Il-nam's amused by how In-ho barely looks away from Gi-hun, not even bothering with pleasantries. Il-nam's offer is simple though. Gi-hun is a great Front Man, but he needs "balance." Too soft on the players yet brutal with the guards. Il-nam thinks that In-ho could bring him that balance.
Gi-hun knows deep down that he should have insisted on In-ho getting out of there, but when asked at the time, he agreed to the terms. He's dismissed so that In-ho and Il-nam can talk more about the specifics. In-ho agrees to take on the role at Gi-hun's side, but it becomes clear both in and out of the games who holds the power between them. In-ho has them stay together in the days leading up to running their first game together. They put on a united front once they return, In-ho strict about enforcing that the guards answer to both of them as equals, but they oftentimes treat his word as final between the two. Masked Officer gets put in his place a bit, In-ho demanding that he himself will be personally seeing to any of Gi-hun's punishments from now on. Il-nam upholds the decision.
Of course In-ho and Gi-hun fuck nasty about this dynamic developing between them, that's just a given.
On that note, sub Gi-hun, sub Gi-hun, sub Gi-hun!
Latest thought I had on this AU though was how fucked it would be once Il-nam dies because there's a lot of fear and doubt lingering in Gi-hun's mind. He's become so entangled with In-ho both as the Front Man and in their personal lives. He wants out of the games, always did. In-ho was the one good thing he had in the role, but part of him wouldn't be surprised if In-ho was willing to use Ga-yeong like Il-nam did if that kept him from leaving. And that's where the fear and doubt come into play because he doesn't want to confront a reality where In-ho, his In-ho, is capable of doing that to him.
I'm currently enjoying a book that's written so fun, Sparking Fire out of Fate by Bridgid Kemmerer, but this particular scene got me thinking of Infincer/Front Office...got me laughing cause imagine Gihun asking about how Frontman and his officer resolve conflict, they'd have such a fun conversation.
Gihun: "It's impossible that ya'll agree all the time, how do you resolve any argument?"
Masked Officer: "...Me and him don't argue. He gives me a look, I say "Captain." and shut the fuck up."
Frontman: "C'mon! It's not like that!" *turning to Gihun* "I promise you, it's not like that. I listen to my soldiers. Officer, come on, don't I listen to any complaints from the soldiers?"
Masked Officer: "...Captain." *says it pointedly to prove his own point*
Frontman: *grins* "I'll Captain your way to the barrel of a gun."
Masked Officer: "I'll pull the trigger if you put it in my—"
Frontman: *cuts him off cause he doesn't know if he'll say ass or mouth* "Sooo, 45—GIHUN. Anything new?"
Thought about this and had a laugh in my room. The way I love Infincer/Front Office should be studied. For a very much important healthy reason.
In the first one Gihun is basically a corpse bride - term coined by the lovely @unintelligiblezombienoises - and has been "resurrected" by Inho, who brainwashed him into becoming his companion.
In the second one, if he is the Frontman instead of Inho, I'd like to think that Ilnam saved him because, like in the series, he reminded him of his son, therefore becoming the Frontman on the basis of a more filial relationship compared to the colder one Ilnam and Inhos seemed to have.
There is a third one too, but that is based on 'The lamp is weird' story, so let's not count it.
Between the two I would definetely explore more the second one.
And the second one is interesting!! I like it when they explore the relationship between Gi-hun and Il-nam that way, because they really were just like father and son.
