The last game the heart

This fanfiction is not based on the original Squid Game storyline - the players' numbers, with a few exceptions, do not match the canon, as they are not central to this version.

Seong Gi-hun willingly returned to hell. Not to play, but to destroy the monster that ruined his life.
But this new Game has a new master - the mysterious Frontman, his face hidden behind a mask, his presence electric and unnerving. As Gi-hun moves through the brutal rounds, a dangerous connection begins to form between him and this dark leader - one that goes far beyond prisoner and warden.

Frontman, now secretly known as Player 001, had been watching Gi-hun since the very moment he stepped into the dormitory.
He came for him.
Not for the Game - but for something far darker and far more personal.

Amid chaos and death, a twisted fascination grows. An unspoken desire. A fatal attraction that is just as dangerous as the Game itself.
Can love be born in such a merciless world?
And what happens when Gi-hun finally learns the truth behind the mask?
Will their hearts survive the deadliest game of all?
