Summary: Desperate to pay off his debt after being scammed by the newest cryptocoin that he promoted on his channel, Myunggi puts on the mask, thinking he'd return to the island as a circle worker. Unfortunately for him, the mask bore a triangle, and Myunggi knew that he would no longer be an innocent bystander. (AU where Lee Myunggi is a pink soldier).
squid game s3 spoilers incoming, be warned. i really enjoyed writing this one! i finished watching s3 of squid game and i'm obsessed with it now. i couldn't ignore how well myunggi would fit to be a pink soldier instead of a player. it was really interesting to see how he acted in the last episodes, it really gave me the insight to his character. he really does only care about himself, but only because this is the only thing he knows how to do. he doesn't know how to just ‘be friends’ with anyone, he doesn't know how to form a connection with anyone and doesn't see the benefit of it if it doesn't help him in his survival. the closest thing he had to a loving bond with anyone was with junhee, and he fucked that up so bad because he was still only concerned with keeping himself alive, rather than thinking for the both of them as a team. myunggi has always been a solo player and i enjoy writing this into this alternate universe. i have many more thoughts about myunggi, and i love that he is a very complex and realistic character. other than that, i just really love yim siwan lol. i'll see how far i get with this fanfic, but for now, have the first chapter of this project! as usual, it's posted on ao3, so check that out and let me know if you enjoyed it. <3
