In-ho Takes Things A Little Too Literal 😭

“you can’t say in-ho is a poor little bean whose action’s only caused by his trauma and that he’s not to blame for the blood on his hands. because he still made the choice to come back to the game and oversee it. there’s still blood on his hands. his actions can’t be justified. he’s still a terrible person.”

his making the choice to come back to the game and oversee it, the blood on his hands, how his actions can’t be justified and how he’s a “terrible person” are literally what make him a cute little babygirl who did nothing wrong uwu to me wdym

wait till y’all see me babying my other babygirl, who did nothing wrong ever in his life, art the clown

"I spent 3 years at sea, risked my life trying to get my brother back while you were getting laid," Jun-ho sounded very pissed. "I was not getting laid," In-ho said, hoping it didn't sound like an excuse. "Right. You were just searching for a tracker in Gi-hun's mouth with your tongue."

Chapter 3 of Us Three, an In-ho/Gi-hun fic (feat. a traumatized Jun-ho) is up now. Tap here to read :)

we hear gi-hun talk nonstop about how 'smart and cool' sang-woo is in season one, and I feel like jun-ho used to talk about in-ho like that to literally anybody and everybody. "yeah, my brother is the coolest! he's my role model and the reason why I became a cop. he inspired me every day. oh and did I tell you he gave me his kidney and saved my life?!" (jun-ho already told them that at least five times), and now the mention of in-ho's name alone is enough to trigger him, especially when it's kind of confirmed / canon that jun-ho looked up to in-ho.

man, probably wishful thinking, but I need the hwang bros to just not die in season 3 and get to be brothers again :(

unpopular opinion (or not?) but I think the reason Jun-ho didn’t tell Gi-hun that the Front Man was his brother wasn’t because Jun-ho wanted Gi-hun to trust him and agree to work with him.

Jun-ho purposefully kept his brother’s name and face a secret from Gi-hun because he knew Gi-hun wanted to kill his brother, and he’d be making it easier for Gi-hun to achieve that if he told Gi-hun who the Front Man was and what he looked like. and despite what In-ho did, Jun-ho still loves and cares about him. and that’s the real reason he kept the Front Man’s identity a secret from Gi-hun AND from his fellow police officers.

Jun-ho, while wanting and trying to stop In-ho, doesn’t want In-ho dead. he’s still protecting his brother. in this essay I will —
