Nam-gyu pressed his cig to his lips without taking a drag, as even the smoke in his throat was too much now. He felt like he couldn't breathe in here anymore.
Things didn't improve when Thanos asked a question he hadn't expected.
"You don't actually have feelings for me, do you?"
Nam-gyu froze. The cigarette almost slipped from his fingers, potentially starting a fire.
There was no trace of mockery or disgust in Thanos's voice. Only concern, genuine interest, and... pity.
And that was even worse.
Even when Nam-gyu looked into his eyes, he could see that unfortunate look, telling him he had no chance with him. He hated it.

Nam-gyu and Thanos, two people who met by chance during the deadly games and felt something instantly that could perhaps be called affection.
After the games were canceled and they both had to face reality again, it was clear to them that they couldn't be without each other. Because when they were together, that feeling was better and more indescribable than any high.
