Hear me out. It’s a small plot I thought and created. But what if
Sangwoo would had worked together with Junho in s1.
It would start that Junho approaches sangwoo at first since he noticed that sangwoo is very smart and knows a lot. Plus he can manipulate his ways out, though he also knows that he struggles atm which is why he joined the games.
Both of them don’t like each other at all but make a deal once Sangwoo joined the games again. He helps junho out so he won’t go to jail and junho will delete the stuff from his file. In short they work together as for sangwoos ending it stays like in canon but rather than dying he appears in season 2 as a undercover cop or probably an undercover guard who helps junho.
Just a thought of mine. Since sangwoo would be the brain and junho the movement.
(Welp maybe the hate love yaoi would appear as well im not sure about that tho LMFAO)
