Toxic In-ho x Gi-hun
You cannot blame gravity for falling, in love. But is it truly love? No. A twisted game with a cruel design to weave a lure with a toxic love that binds and chokes, a suffocating hold while this story unfold, 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑡𝑜𝑙𝑑. May justice serve this game. Will Gi-hun achieve his goal, or not? Either way, it's all for the best. Right? Keep watching. If you can handle it. (The story is held when Jung bae was shot by the front man.) And when I say this is toxic, then it is. Leaving is an option, staying is your choice. I will not entertain that is unrelevant or unnecessary. ‼️𝐇𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒‼️ I loved creating this story, but I'm putting it on hiatus because the narrative grew far too complex for me to manage. In short it's complicated and ruined, eventually you'll understand why if you keep reading. Additionally I might actually discontinue because of how it's messed up.
