He doesn't know it yet, but his heart already belongs to me. At Squid Game University, where survival is the ultimate test, friendship, trust, and love might just be the most dangerous game of all.

You cost me everything, but I'll pay. Just another pawn at first, another desperate soul with debts too deep to escape. But as I watched you fight, watched you claw your way through every twisted game I created, I realized you were different. Special. But wanting you has a cost. Do you even know what I've paid to keep you here? How much blood I've spilled, how many lives I've crushed, just to see you one more time? Money is meaningless. Power is a tool. But you? You're the prize. I know it's madness, but what's one more debt to pay when I've already gambled away everything? Even if it destroys us both, I'll have you. You're worth the ruin. In this game, no one escapes-not even you. - Hwang In-ho / Young-il / Frontman [ SEASON 2 FIC CONTINUATION ]
