He smirked again, stepping back into the shadows. "Don't disappoint me, Mei-Ling."

She froze, her heart skipping a beat. "How do you know my name?"

The salesman didn't answer. Instead, he flipped his lighter open one last time, the small flame casting an eerie glow over his sharp features, letting her admire his face once more. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he extinguished it and disappeared into the crowd.

Mei-Ling stared after him, the card clutched tightly in her hand. Her mind raced, a mixture of curiosity, excitement, and unease swirling within her. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦?

The Mafia Deception | Seventeen by the8buddy

Deception is Her Weapon; Vengeance is Her Cause. No mercy. "You thought you could deceive us. But in this game, baby, the rules were written by those who thrive in shadows." ⚠️ "'Look at you, little thing. I'm two sizes bigger than you. If I wrapped my hand around your throat, I could choke you,' he jeered, pressing the sharp blade even harder against her skin. 'Recycled lines, huh? You're running out of material,' she managed to retort, her voice strained from the pressure on her throat. In a sudden and abrupt motion, he threw the knife aside, his hand swiftly replacing the cold steel of the blade. And now, it was just his bare hand, a bold and strategic choice that demonstrated his confidence in his own strength. 'You really craved the sensation of my hand choking you, huh? You're enjoying this, aren't you, little slut? Feeling my grip tighten around your throat,' he snarled as he applied more force, pressing his hand deeper into her neck. 'Fuck you,' she managed to blurt out, her voice strained and raw, her eyes blurred with tears and her wounds stinging with pain. Mingyu let out a low chuckle. 'Fuck me? Yeah? Alright then,' he uttered with a smirk on his face. With deliberate movements, he reached towards her pants, his fingers moved diligently and precisely as they traced the zipper. 'You want me to fuck you right here, huh? Need an audience, kinky bitch?' he taunted, a cruel smirk playing on his lips as his fingers deftly undid the zipper of her pants. All eyes were fixated on them as Mingyu harshly began to pull her pants down, while she gasped for breath, each rasping inhale echoing in the tense silence of the room. 'Let's give them a good performance,' he replied with a smirk before loosening his grip on her neck, allowing her to gasp for air. Seizing the opportunity, he leaned in and his lips found hers, pulling her into a rough and dominating kiss.

Games | Squid Game S2 | by Zyvel_simp

"Y/N?" "Gi-hun?" The two of you stared at each other, disbelief etched on both your faces-but for entirely different reasons. One of you was overwhelmed with joy to see a familiar face, while the other could barely contain their frustration. The tension was palpable, and the moment seemed to stretch endlessly, drawing curious glances from the other players. Among them, another player dressed just like the others, lingered in the shadows, watching the interaction with keen interest, though their expression remained hidden. _______________________________ Hi everyone! I just finished watching Squid Game Season 2, and wow-my imagination went into overdrive. I couldn't stop myself from writing This down! I'll probably work on a Season 1-inspired story after I finish this one, so stay tuned. Quick disclaimer: This is a fanfiction, so I obviously don't own any of the original characters from Squid Game. All rights go to their respective creators. Also, the cover isn't mine. I found it on Pinterest, so the credits go to the owner of it.

Friend or Foe? ( Gi-Hun x In-Ho ) by gihunsleftsock

"Two," the voice over the loudspeakers called out. Just like 001 had said. As suddenly as the realization hit him, Gi-Hun was already being dragged by his arm towards a room. There was no time to waste; many people would die this round, and Gi-Hun prayed to whatever gods might be watching them for mercy. He glanced back at the group he had formed-Jung-Bae was already gone. Thank God. He was safe. Finally, he focused on the hand holding his arm, the grip so strong he swore the blood flow was cut off. He looked up at their face, the dark, short locks, those soft, endless eyes. It was 001. *** started this on wattpad while waiting for ao3 to be accepted,, ENJOY anyways these two have been on my mind like crazy,,, also pretend for this story that mingle takes place before the six-legged pentathlon IN-HO IS A BOTTOM I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL has nsfw // chapter has a warning!!
