But Gi-hun said no—Young-il was married, and he wouldn’t do that to a poor pregnant omega. But that’s okay; he has a plan.

Thanos IMMEDIATELY agrees and he takes Gihun’s hand and runs to the bathroom and now Inho has to quickly figure out a way to stop Thanos from fucking HIS omega.

The Head Square In Charge: Actually, it's hot as h🔥l.

The Recruiter: Actually, it's almost as hot as me.

In-ho: 😠 ACTUALLY, it's as hot as Gi-hun:

...?

That day, In-ho was furious. He’d had a terrible meeting with the VIPs, and Hyunjun was way too sappy—it just annoyed him even more. And he didn’t want to take all that anger out on Gi-hun, his prize horse. So… Ray.

Ray was perfect. Nothing like letting they loose, fighting hand-to-hand, to subdue and dominate him, after plenty of blood and bruises. But Ray was strong, trained, determined. The rage they felt toward In-ho came out as if they were an animal, which only made In-ho’s stress worse.

And that night, In-ho went too far. He only stopped when he realized that Ray wasn’t moving anymore—just a very faint breath, they body unrecognizable from all the blood, bones protruding through his skin, and bruises.

He still tried to save them, but Ray died at the start of surgery. The doctors tried, but there was nothing more they could do.

He lost one of his pets.

Oh Inho...you always break your toys...

Inho had a bad day. A horrible day really.

The VIP's didn't listen to him. They just kept making demands after demands. And later, when he got back home, Hyunjun was in one of his crying moods and despite Gihun being there for him, the man wouldn't calm down. it drove Inho mad.

He thought about maybe taking his anger out on Hyunjun but...well, Inho had grown to like him a lot. And he definitely didn't want to take his anger out on Gihun-no, Gihun was his favorite pet. He could never REALLY hurt him.

But Inho needs release. He needs to get his energy out. He needs to hurt something. Someone.

Ray.

He finds Ray and drags them into an empty room and before Ray can say anything, Inho immediately starts beating him.

But Ray has been waiting for this moment for years. They fight back tooth and nail, drawing blood and even biting Inho, calling him every name and the book and saying that they will eventually find a way out and save their lovers and kill Inho if it's the last thing they do.

And Inho, who is already so mad, so furious, so pent up completely blacks out in a fit of rage. He hits. He kicks. He lands punch after punch, slap after slap, kick after kick and he thinks he hears bones breaking but he doesn't stop.

When he finally does stop, he freezes.

Ray is on the ground, in a puddle of blood. They're arms are broken, bones sticking out and one of their legs looks...wrong. Their eyes are closed and blood is trickling from their mouth and nose and...and...

Inho immediately calls for a doctor, and they rush Ray into surgery but no matter how much they try and save Ray, it's too late. Ray dies just 2 hours after the right and Inho is left sitting alone outside of the operating room, staring at the wall, wondering what he's going to tell Hyunjun and Gihun.

They saw Inho leave with Ray. They saw how mad Inho was, how angry. They'll know that Inho killed Ray; killed their lover.

They're going to hate him. They're going to absolutely hate him-more than they ever have and Inho doesn't know what to do. For a second, he feels so lost and so guilty but then...

Then he decides that everything is going to be ok. Yes he liked Ray. Yes he'll miss them. Yes he feels bad but now...

Now his pets really won't escape. They'll stay with him. Ray was always the one looking for a way out. They were the ones giving Gihun and Hyunjun false hope and now that they're gone...

Now that they're gone, Hyunjun and Gihun only have Inho.

1. In-ho comes home and breaks the news to the two of them. He arrives, and Gi-hun and Hyunjun immediately ask how Ray is doing and if they can see him. In-ho feels terrible—those beautiful eyes looking at him like that... but he needs to be firm and brace himself for their reaction.

“Ray didn’t make it.”

“What?” The words came out choked, as if they hadn’t heard him right.

“I called the doctors after the session. But he didn’t make it through the surgery—I’m so sorry.”

Hyunjun still thinks it’s a joke; he even tries to smile, as if Ray were about to be brought in covered in bandages, and this were just some kind of torture In-ho was putting them through. But In-ho doesn’t react. And Ray doesn’t show up.

He starts to cry.

Gi-hun does too, but Gi-hun can’t hold back; he lunges furiously at In-ho. He hits, scratches, and curses—he looks more like Ray than ever before; it’s even painful to watch. He cries and cries while In-ho easily restrains him, letting him struggle to break free to regain his strength.

That night, the three of them sleep together in bed. In-ho lets Gi-hun and Hyunjun sleep in each other’s arms, and tells them he’s going to arrange a beautiful funeral for Ray—the best they can afford—to honor him.

Yes, everything will be all right.

2. At some point, they decide it’s better to die than to stay there. They want Ray, and they want to be together. But they won’t be able to have a real life—they can’t escape. Gi-hun tries, but Hyunjun is the only one who endures the punishments; this will never work. There’s only one way out....

When In-ho finally thinks he’s found his two “pets” who escaped, he finds only their bodies. Their wrists slit. Embraced as if they were sleeping peacefully.

3. Ghost Ray.

The days have become strange. Somber. The two aren’t the same anymore; they seem like shells of their former selves. In-ho allows them to wear black to show their mourning, but he’s almost reversing that decision, as it’s depressing to look at his pets that way. Gi-hun refuses to look at him, and Hyunjun isn’t as sweet as before—he looks like a dog that’s been kicked out onto the street.

It starts slowly. The sound of knives on the floor. Drinks spilling. Heavy, labored breathing that In-ho doesn’t know where it’s coming from. An employee found dead. Bruises on his body at dawn, after a night of nightmares.

He didn’t notice when Hyunjun and Gi-hun were woken in the early morning by calloused hands and the whispers of a familiar voice. Not even when they spent a long time staring at a corner. Not even about the knives that appeared inside Hyunjun’s pillows. Or about how Gi-hun cried with a smile, as if he were relieved.

The world may not be ready…but he is! Say hello to bunny!In-ho.

Finally our turn!

Here's my mini bag art piece for the @squidbang event! Based in the fantastic fic of @nerdyhuntress! Go give it some love! (Mind the tags too!)

I really wanted to do something that could blend the myth and art, keeping the Squid Game essence. For that I kicked my own ass to make Inho's mask and added the always recognizable squares, triangles and circles as a final detail.

Inho is cat 🐱

Inho loves dogs 🐶
