Summary
After the island, Seong Gi-hun disappears.
By the time Hwang In-ho finds what’s left of him, Gi-hun is already gone—his memories of the Games cut cleanly out of his mind. Desperate, In-ho follows the only trail Gi-hun leaves behind to a private clinic in Seoul, where he learns exactly what Gi-hun did to forget him.
Then In-ho asks them to do the same.
What follows is the unraveling of ten years of blood, surveillance, obsession, and grief as In-ho descends backward through every memory that ties him to Seong Gi-hun: through the games, through the lies, through the man he was before the mask.
A story about memory, grief, and the things that remain even after forgetting.

Summary
Gi-hun works for One Line banking in Busan, a company in partnership with Pool Investmemts run by none other than Director Hwang In-ho. When Gi-hun finally experiences a stroke of luck, he’s employed on a contract. Get in, earn some money, and get out, he thinks.
If only they both knew what was coming their way, and just how far they’d go.
_________________________________________________
A moment passed, “I’m glad I’m here with you” Gi-hun confessed then cleared his throat, “I - I mean with this job, this firm, the team we have”. In-ho nodded and Gi-hun stared at his lips that were increasingly growing into a smile. He wished the man could smile more; it was such a pleasure to see.
In-ho nodded, “I’m glad, too”. Then, like the perfect set-up for a K-drama, the radio played a slow ballad love song with lyrics that rang far too loudly in their silence.
I wish I could say all that I felt,
don’t want to waste a moment with you.
Stolen glances, missing chances,
I look into your eyes and know you feel it too.Bookmarked by theSmokeycat

Summary
The 34th Korean Squidgames are over. They made it out alive, but how do they move on?
Gi-hun certainly doesn’t know how to. It has been eight months since the island. The rebellion. The explosions. How they escaped, missing people dear to them who didn’t make it out alive. At least, that’s what Gi-hun thought.
Life after is a blur, making Gi-hun’s life pointless. Even though he has a forged family around him, people that care about him, he’s lost in guilt and loneliness. Up until one rainy night. When an old friend shows up. Someone who was supposed to be a ghost. Who should have stayed a ghost.
For a heartbeat, neither of them moved. Then the man lifted his head, making his face fully visible directly under the streetlights.Gi-hun’s breath catches in his throat. That face. Paler than he remembered. Eyes sunken, haunted even. But it was him.
“…Young-il?”A story about how two men, who chose different paths, eventually find each other through the forest of guilt and betrayal. Getting their lives entwined up to the point they can’t live without each other.
