Aarrrrrghhh

He really did want to pretend for a moment that everything was normal between them. I feel like he also just really misses having ppl who care. During the Mingle game, when he goes off to “find another group”, we can clearly see how happy everyone in his group was when he survived. Jung bae literally hugs him when he finally sees him and everyone is smiling and it’s just SO sweet. Inho might have money and power and stuff but in the end, being the frontman is really fucking lonely. Everyone obeys because they have to. They’re around because they need to be. Because he holds power. The games gave him a moment to be normal again. And he cherished it for as long as he could.

like ok heres the thing. inho infiltrated the games to earn gihuns trust and then break him and get him on his side right. ok. but he didnt have to do everything he did.

like, he didnt have to defend him so threateningly against player 100 (arguably... possessively... like bro he aint going NOWHERE calm your ass DOWN!!!) or like, he didnt have to call him 'gihun', he couldve, SHOULD HAVE, called him 'hyung', but he calls him fucking??? gi-hun-shi?????? INSANE BEHAVIOUR.

he didn't HAVE to smile at him then, so bright-eyed. he didn't have to share his tragic backstory. he didn't even have to fucking help him with the revolution, he didn't have to shoot his guards he could've pretended to be a terrible shot. he could've betrayed him anytime and yet chose to maintain his mystery until he got away from gi-hun and FAKED HIS DEATH. like what possibly could he gain from this?? gi-hun must find out who he is sooner or later, who cares if it's sooner??

HE CARES. HE. CARES. whether you view them romantically or not, in-ho CARES. there's a piece of him that plays into this entire inner conflict that makes him CARE. FOR GI-HUN. HE CARES FOR GI-HUN even to SOME degree. and that is INSANE to me.

bonus:

“gi-hun never forgave sang-woo for killing sae-byeok!!!!” does the phrase “let’s go home” mean NOTHING to you

Pt2 of fixing the things Horikoshi broke aka “The EraserCloudMic hero agency is THRIVING”

He is so much stronger than i am i would've started shaking and crying bro the pressure would be unreal 😭

“Whats your favorite horror movie?” Idk probably the moment Gihun realized he felt responsible for helping 455 people survive a seemingly innocent childrens game that only he knew the true intentions of and so he knew he would have to scream directions until his lungs dried out and remember every tactic he was taught and had to use all those years ago when he first played

Hello, tumblr user. Before you is a tumblr post asking you to name a female fictional character. You have unlimited time to tag a female character, NOT a male one.

Begin.
