Mind Games

Young-il was the Frontman, he didn't shy away from that fact. What truly puzzled him, though, was how Gi-hun managed to survive the games, let alone emerge victorious with all that money. There was something about him, something that had captivated Young-il ever since their brief conversation in the limo.

At first, it was simple curiosity. He wondered what it would be like to befriend someone like Gi-hun, or even step into the games himself. But over time, that curiosity deepened into something far more profound. It wasn't just fascination, it was an insatiable desire to know Gi-hun better than anyone else ever could. He wanted a bond, a connection that was unshakable, where they could depend on each other completely. Only them.

And if anyone tried to interfere with that, well... Young-il wouldn't hesitate to remove the obstacle. Whatever it took, he was determined to be close to Gi-hun. At all costs.
