Wrote this on lunch for Vegas AU because this scene wouldn't leave me alone, but how I imagine canon inhun's reunion going. :')

"Expecting someone else?"

The silence that followed was deafening, but nothing was quite so loud as the sound of Gi-hun's heart breaking all over again.

He should have left, walked out of there and never looked back, but he never did know when to stop chasing after him, did he?

He should have gotten on that plane.

Just as he should have walked right out the door.

Gi-hun never learned, apparently.

Through the sting of unshed tears, Gi-hun stared at In-ho from where he stood on the opposite side of the bed, his hands clenched into fists, trembling at his sides.

Compared to recent days, where the In-ho he spent time with had been quicker to laugh and smile, it gave him whiplash to be met once again with the cold, distant formality of his own. Dark eyes remained fixated on him, his lips parted.

"Welcome ba—"

"Don't," Gi-hun bit out, his lower lip wobbling as he sucked in a sharp breath. In-ho averted his gaze, swallowing thickly under the intensity of Gi-hun's scrutiny. "Just don't."

"I don't know what you want me to say."

"How about you show a bit of remorse for once in your life?" Gi-hun suggested, his voice growing louder by the second. "How about, 'Hey, Gi-hun, I'm sorry for not only hurting you over and over again, but also for letting you down one last fucking time'?" He covered his mouth when his voice cracked. "That would be a good place to start, don't you think?!"

"I'm sorry," In-ho whispered. He took a deep breath in, then slowly let it out, forcing himself to meet Gi-hun's eyes again. "I'm so sorry."

Even then, Gi-hun barked out a hysterical laugh, shaking his head at him.

"Now ask yourself, why is that? Why is it so easy for you to say it now, of all times, hm?" Gi-hun cocked his head to the side, the tears flowing freely down his cheeks. "Is it because you got a taste of what could have been? Is that it?" An anguished rage burned like fire in his eyes while he rounded the bed to get to him, patting his hand against his chest. "Why was I not enough, In-ho, or should I say Young-il?" He scoffed, throwing his hands up in frustration. "Because I never even got a proper introduction to who you are."

In-ho held his head high, taking everything Gi-hun dished out at him. All the hurt, the anger, the hatred.

"I'm sorry," he repeated, slow and even, because what else could he say?

Gi-hun gritted his teeth, his brows pinched together.

"You know what I despised the most about that place? Our 'happily ever after', and it all depended on me saving you." Gi-hun jabbed his finger into In-ho's chest. "Right place, right time, my ass, because it all has to revolve around you, doesn't it?! You suffer, and the whole world burns for it. Well, what about me, In-ho? What did I do to deserve this tragedy?! I saved you, a complete stranger, in another universe, but in this world where you know me inside and out, better than anyone else, you couldn't even be bothered to, you didn't even—"

Gasping for air, Gi-hun's legs buckled, and he collapsed onto the floor before In-ho could react, doubled over while he clutched at his chest in pain.

"Why didn't you save me?" he wept. "Why didn't you care?" Exhausted, he trailed off, the shattered remains of the man he used to be spread out on the floor.

In time, In-ho lowered himself down onto knees before him, his eyes red and puffy.

And from there, he picked up the broken pieces.

Vague spoiler for Chapter 8 of By Indirections, Find Directions Out:

Inho: *pep himself up with villain speech*

Inho: *starts his villain speech, notices there’s no effect, turns to look*

Gihun: *already fell asleep*

Inho: …

Inho: right, that posture will kill middle-aged men like us. let me help you with that

Started it as a stupid joke scene while I was pulling my hair out wrestling the damn chapter, liked what turned out enough to keep since it’s still keeping up with the story’s concept of “Gihun’s fixing SS3 mostly by being his authentic self”

Sometimes the baby is sleeping, and Gi-hun or In-ho go over to check if she's really breathing, but that ends up waking her up

#seong gihun #squid game #hwang inho #inhun

@alatariel-gildaen (Reverse) Vegas AU on the mind now, and I'll probably write something quick later for the idea but Gi-hun having a nightmare about the strike again (and maybe some of canon Gi-hun's memories trickle in as well). He sneaks into In-ho's room to try and wake him, and poor Gi-hun ends up pinned to the bed, being held at knifepoint because Gi-hun you can't just sneak up on him like that! Once In-ho settles down, Gi-hun is giving him the biggest puppy eyes because, don't get him wrong, he's still mad at this In-ho! but he's also not used to going this long without having him there every night. In-ho lets him sleep with him, and he's having so many conflicting feelings laying there, watching Gi-hun sleep curled up against him, trusting, vulnerable, knowing that it's not truly a moment meant for him.

Speaking of the childlike and vulnerable In-ho: I think you portrayed him, and the way Gi-hun loves and cares for him — his baby — perfectly in your "Bad Habit" fic.

I recently rewatched "From", and Victor is also a good example of a man who displays childlike behavior due to trauma; to some extent, I see the post-game In-ho in him.

Thank you. Bad Habit was fun to write, and I love Victor from From!!! He’s one of my most favorite characters in the show!!

Actually, in my crossover fic where Gi-hun and In-ho are trapped in the town from From, I plan to have In-ho meet and interact with Victor. In-ho may not exactly be childlike in the fic, at least not in the beginning, and I know I haven’t updated the fic in a while. But I still plan to continue it as quickly as I can. I have so many whump ideas for In-ho in the crossover fic.

One thing I’ve really wanted to talk about for a long time is the portrayal of children in fanfics

I mean, of course, write whatever you want. That’s not the point! My point is that most works don’t portray babies and children as they really are, and I think there’s a lot of narrative potential there

That baby in the series isn’t realistic for countless reasons—too many to list here. But honestly, there’s a lot we can work on. For example, babies drink milk and vomit if you don’t burp them; their nails grow way too fast, and you have to keep them short or they’ll scratch themselves; they cry over silly things, like a tag on their clothes bothering them or because they’ve grabbed and pulled THEIR OWN HAIR; they wake up in the middle of the night for no reason; sometimes their poop looks different and you worry they might be sick; you try to give them medicine and they spit it all out; during teething, they bite you to soothe their gums; they’ll eventually learn they have a voice, and you’ll hear them screaming or making noises because of that. Among countless other things

To me, it’s amazing to imagine so many scenarios that could be added. It’s not that I want fanfics focused solely on the baby (even though she’s adorable!) but rather fanfics where she makes an appearance. Imagine them fighting, and the baby starts crying and won’t stop for hours, only for you to find out she’s teething? Or Gi-hun trying to escape, and the baby laughing her head off, thinking it’s a game?
