Live or Die (final chapter)- Seong Gi-Hun x Reader

Summary: As each day goes by, more difficult the games become. Gi-Hun and You start to work together but it won't always work out in the end.

A/N: And here is is!! The last chapter to these short series I made. Prepare for the feels!! I hope you're all proud of my work because I already planned the ending out before I even had the chance to start writing on this. Remember, the story will be explained more clearly with many more things over at my Wattpad and with many changes as well. I hope you all enjoy this last part and please let me know if you enjoyed it❤️❤️ and again, thank you all for enjoying my work.

The lights were once again turned on, meaning the next game would commence. It wasn't fair, we've barely had any time to sleep. "I fell asleep." I opened my eyes and I found myself leaning against Gi-Hun's chest. I shrieked and fell out of the mattress, no way did I fall asleep on him!

At the sound of me falling Gi-Hun woke up as well and stared down at me surprised. "(Y/N)?! Are you okay?" He asked frantically and reached his hands out towards me.

"I'm c-completely fine!" I try a lie and also did my best to hide my red face from him. "This is so embarrassing." I whispered to myself and tried to compose myself.

I felt someone watching me so I turned around and saw Sae-Byeok squinting her eyes at me. They were filled with mischief, I pressed my finger to my mouth and shushed her from trying to tell anything. I saw a quick smirk upon her lips.

"Hmm I don't remember falling asleep? Last thing I heard was your voice?" I looked back and saw Gi-Hun thinking hard. He shrugged his shoulders and gave up.

"I always have trouble remembering dreams, it was probably nothing. Hey, did you make sure to keep watch at night?" Gi-Hun yawned and scratched his back.

"Of course I did! We didn't get attacked because of me." I'm such a liar.

"I think I recall you falling asleep." I jumped and heard the Old Man's voice.

We all looked at the man resting on a bed. "Yes, you two feel asleep very quickly. An old man like me doesn't need much sleep after all, so that's why I decided for you two love birds to rest."

I let out a weird shriek and began to hide my face from everyone.

"W-We aren't together!" Gi-Hun tried explaining and almost everyone stared at us with a smirk on their faces.

"Gi-Hun and (Y/N) once dated." Sangwoo casually said and I growled at him for saying that in front of strangers.

"No wonder I felt a bit of chemistry going on between them." Ali now joined in on the conversation.

"Really? She seems to hate him..a lot." Sae-byeok got down from her bed and came over to my side.

"You're too young to understand how love works." Ali once again said. Gi-Hun and I looked at each other and quickly looked away, both of us blushing.

Sangwoo sighed boredly and got himself up. "Enough of this, we have another game to win." I stood up as well quickly and patted his shoulder.

"What Sangwoo said! We gotta focus on the real thing here." Hopefully everybody will believe in that because there is no way I still love Gi-Hun.

I heard Sangwoo next to me hum in disapprovement and moved my hand from him.

The masked men waited for us all to get ready, we all joined them and heard the rule to the next game. "The next game requires a group of ten people.

"Four groups consisting of ten people then. What game might this be?" I ask myself. Hide and seek?

Sae-Byeok, Ali, Sangwoo, Gi-Hun the Old Man and I gathered around. "We need five more people for the team to be complete." Gi-Hun said.

"Five? I was planning on joining another team, remember? I'm trying to win against you." I reminded him and saw him thinking hard.

"I have a feeling that you should stay with us, for this game anyway." Gi-Hun tried to convince me. I felt Sang-Woo's eyes on me again. Is he angry at me for some reason? Whenever I try to talk or touch him he backs off.

The three of us used to be close. I even considered Sangwoo like an older brother to me since I have no siblings.

"Alright, I'll stay." I cross my arms over my chest and glanced over to Sangwoo. Gi-Hun smiling to himself when I accepted his offer to stay.

"We need five more people then, try and bring anyone strong. We already have two girls and old men, we need some men." He told us all and we parted ways. I brought one men to join our team.

Few minutes went by and we were all ready. Sae-Byeok came with another girl. We all sat down in a circle and Gi-Hun counted down all of us. "Nine, wait someone's missing."

The Old Man explained he couldn't bring anyone. "And who brought you?" Sangwoo looked at the younger girl on the team. She tilted her head over at Sae-Byeok.

"I thought I told you to being only men." His sudden change in personality was pissing me off.

"What's with you all of the sudden?" I annoyingly asked him.

Gi-Hun remained quiet not sure on what to do, since he knew that Sangwoo and I never really fought back in the day.

"You want me to go? Sure." The girl began to get up so I reached my hand out and pulled her back down to sit.

"She's staying wether you like it or not." Sangwoo and I continued to glare at each other.

"It's fine, you can stay. Besides time is already running out." Gi-Hun pointed out at the timer above us.

"I'll be of more help than these wimpy little girls!" The voice of that annoying old woman said and pushed me aside so she'd sit in the circle. "I'm good at anything except for the things I can't do."

"And why she would trust you? You were with that tattooed guy and joined in on the attack from last night." I coldly tell her and she looks at me surprised.

"Because you need one more on this team of course! Don't worry, I won't steal your man from you." She said pointing at me and Gi-Hun.

"Time is up. All players line up the main entrance hall." The PA announced.

"Huh? So we aren't going to stay in here?"

"It seems like we aren't." I reply to Gi-Hun's question. We all got up on our feet and made a line.

The door opened and four masked men we were waiting for us on the other line. Sangwoo was behind me, bossy as ever. I was in second place and Gi-Hun right behind me.

We all looked the arena and found it almost empty, I looked up and realized what it was. "Oh, shit."

"I would like to welcome you all to the third game. Today's game of Tug of War. In order to win you must pull the rope to your platform, in an attempt of dropping your opponent."

Sangwoo sighed in front of me, now I know why he was angry. But, how come he knows which game will happen next? I hummed to myself and started to suspect him.

We sat down and waited for the first team to go against each other. "Team 1 and Team 7. Please stand up."

"They are definitely dead." Team 1 is way stronger and only has men. We wait patiently for them to go up to their platforms.

Gi-Hun was right on me joining him and not going to another team. "We need to come up with a plan." I heard him whisper to me by my shoulder.

"What can we do? There's not much we can do on this game. Besides, I was never good at it growing up despite playing it all the time." I quickly tell him.

One masked guards shot his gun and the game has began. Team 1 and 7 began to pull hard on the ropes, but Team 1 being the strongest easily won. The rope was pulled until the other team remained on the air, that's until the rope was cut off and they hit the floor below us.

I looked away before they fell and I started to panic. I am terrified of heights and begin to hyperventilate and feel like throwing up.

"The following Players 245. Player 120. Player 37. Player 408. Player 27. Player 273. Player 58. Player 273. Player 327 and Player 241 are eliminated."

I began to shake in my place and began to nervously tap my foot against the floor.

"Team 4. Team 5." Shit! It's out turn. We looked at each other and began to slowly go to our towers. Slowly we all continue to walk and the tension around us is heavy.

"Aw man. I was looking forward to killing you guys." The tattooed guy told us all when we walked past them.

We all entered the elevator and I quickly began to tie my hair. "I'm terrified of heights, I don't think I can do this." I told myself and I jumped when Gi-Hun rested his hand on me.

"I never knew you were scared of heights. So that's why you refused to go on me to that ride back then at the local carnival." Gi-Hun reminded me and tried to make the situation lighter for me.

He saw my scared expression and offered me his hand to hold. I rejected it and instead held onto the back of his jacket like a lost girl.

"You don't need strength, al you need is a good strategy on Tug of War." The Old Man began to say.

"Hold on, let's hear what he has to say." Gi-Hun interrupted the guys from talking.

"It's a game I know we'll, back then I would always win. Even when the other team has a wrestler. Listen closely and I'll tell you how I would always win."

The Old Man began to explain to us quick. We walked out and the masked men began to tie our wrists together to the rope. Gi-Hun was now in front of me, with me between him and Sangwoo behind me now. My palms began to get sweaty quick and I felt light-headed when I glanced down and saw the blood on the dark tiles.

We leaned back and remained like that when we heard the first gunshot. We held onto the rope tightly and tried to not slip. "Now!" All of us began to pull on the rope when the other team gave up on pulling.

"We're gonna die!" I shouted and got scared when the other team began to take advantage and tightly began to pull us closer to the edge. Now I was acting like the crazy lady.

"Listen to me! We need to let go, you all need to trust me." Sangwoo shouted at the team. "One..Two Three!!" We all let go and I screamed again when I almost hit Gi-Hun's back and made him fall.

I balanced myself back on my feet and saw the other team fall to the ground, we began again to pull the rope to our side.

We watched as the other team struggled back to regain their strength but couldn't. We pulled harder and saw them fall to the edge, we began to freak out when the weight of them all became too heavy for us.

The rope was finally cut off and we all fell to the ground and began to heavily pant. We're alive. Thank God we're still alive!

I winced in pain when I saw my raw hands but paid not much mind to it since it wasn't important. We shakily stood up and made it back to our room. "That was such a neat last minute plan." The younger girl complimented Sangwoo.

Sae-Byeok told us all to stay quiet so we quietly left and I saw the younger girl stay with Sae-Byeok. We made it to our shared room and it felt silent when the first team who played looked and glared at us.

I went over and decided to lay down on a bed and tried to react at what happened. "How are you feeling, (Y/N)?" I opened my eyes and Gi-Hun was sitting next to me.

"I'm still shaking, you?"

"Shaken up as you are." I sat back up and took hold of his hands and saw his bloody palms. They were worst than mine.

"You're bleeding."

"That's nothing important-" I ripped a sheet of the blanket under my and began to wrap it around his palm so he wouldn't feel the pain.

"Hopefully this will drop the stinging, don't worry about my hands they aren't as bad as yours at the moment." I felt Gi-Hun's eyes on me while I helped him.

We were given just a bit of good and got a bit annoyed at the woman talking. "Can you shut up?!" I said since she started to offend Ali by calling him an immigrant.

"So who's the boss here?!"

"We're all equals here." Sangwoo said and she instantly got offended when Gi-Hun called her grandma which made me laugh.

"Lights will be out in five minutes." The PA announced. "We need to make a stronger barricade for tonight." Gi-Hun told us.

We all began to help around and grab more mattress, bed sheets or pieces of metal. I was carrying some more bedsheets when I stopped and saw the tattooed guy stop at where Gi-Hun was.

"Thanks so much for putting the effort, we'll easily break in." The tattooed smirked at our team who began to assemble an even stronger barricade from them.

"Those scumbags over at your team, can you really trust them?" Gi-Hun told the man which made him look back at his own team.

"You're the strongest person here, but if I were on your team, you'd bw the first I'd go after." I smirked at his words and saw tattooed guy's smile falter. Now he'll be doubting his team and will leave us alone.

Soon enough the lights were off and we all rested up for the night.

*********

"Marbles? We're playing marbles?" I ask confused staring at the small bag of marbles in my hand. It was the next day. The fourth game. The game required two people per group.

We would have to play a game with these marbles, the loser, well they would die. We had no way to chear anyways because each team was given a guard. I was feeling uneasy whenever they would send them over to eye us.

Sae-Byeok quickly left before I had the chance to ask her to play with me. She's always pushing people away, like me. People always like us normally do that because we don't want to get attached to someone that might hurt or leave us.

So, I paired myself with one of the males we had on our previous team for Tug of War. "Hey, so what's with you and that Gi-Hun guy?" The guy asked me.

I raise an eyebrow and see the guy smirk. He was probably in his fifties, he seemed nice but asked too many questions. "Well, I assume he's your boyfriend or brother since he's always making sure you're safe."

I scoff and sat down next to the guy who started at the marbles and threw the small bag in front of him. "Maybe we should get to know each other, we're going to die anyways."

He seemed completely fine saying that. I continued looking at him confused so the guy smiled to himself. "I had a daughter you know? She reminds me of you now that I'm looking at you closely."

"Where is your daughter?" I asked.

"She passed away about two years ago. My wife and I always had trouble conceiving, she was our only daughter. A careless man tool her from us..I promised that I would always protect her.." the man began to tell me his story and began to sniff.

"I'm so sorry to hear that...She must've been a lovely girl." The man smiles sadly and bids his head.

"She always helped those in need, she volunteered to help the poor and would always go with her group of friends and give them meals every time she could. I joined the games because I want to make my wife happy, she's been suffering a lot and my daughter always wanted to visit France. So, I want to spread her ashes there, she'll forever be happy there..."

This man is a complete stranger yet he trusts me in telling his story.

I smile back at him sadly, "My mother is ill..that's why I joined the game. My father passed due to an illness which is hereditary, luckily I don't have it, but it still hurts. Gi-Hun and I were childhood friends, we had a nice relationship while it lasted. Sangwoo was always jealous of us..so I dated him him for a short while until I broke up with him. I just didn't feel anything between us."

I told this man a bit of my story and he parted my shoulder when I got a bit upset. "I hope you get to win this.."

I returned the smile to his warm tired face. "I hope you do too." We both knew that only one would make it out of this.

We heard the sound of marbles and saw a figure standing up. I moved my head to get s good look and saw it was Sangwoo and Ali. Sangwoo noticed me looking at him, so he looked away quick.

"Four minutes left." The PA announced us.

"You're young and have a whole life ahead of you." The man tool a shaky breath and reached out for the bag of marbles. He opened my palm and placed the entire bag in it.

I stared at him surprised and began to hand it back. "I-I can't Mister! We need to play this fair, like the rest of them."

The man shook his head and rested his hand on mine. "I've accepted my fate. Don't worry I'm happy, I'll be able to see my daughter again."

I panicked and looked at the guards. "Can he do that?! We need to play by the rules right? Have a game between us."

The masked guard said nothing for a few seconds. "The rule is to have all the marbles, and you have them all."

My hands began to shake and I felt them getting cold. How can a man willingly give up on his own life like this without fighting?

"Do not worry about this old man, (Y/N). May we meet each other soon in the afterlife." The man bowed and waved at me happily when he stood back up.

I held out a breath I was containing along with a few tears. "I won't forget you Mister.." I looked at him one more time and slowly began to leave and I jumped a little when I heard a gunshot.

I passed by Ali and made quick eye contact with him and felt my throat get tight. I knew what had happened here, Sangwoo betrayed him.

If all of this would've been different, then maybe we all could've been the best of friends. I made it to the set of pink stairs and waited for Gi-Hun to join me, I wished for a minute of two and he for sure arrived. He and the Old Man were the ones who played marbles.

We said nothing to each other but walked next to each other until we reached our beds and tried to figure out what tomorrow's game must be.

**********

I woke up gasping and began to fight for air. "A nightmare." A female voice said next to me. I looked at Sae-Byeok a bit panicked and tried my best to breath.

"Take slow and deep breaths." She calmly said and I felt her walk over and sit on the edge of my mattress. "Good job." She smiled just a little and I saw her tired eyes.

"You should rest up." I said in a shaky voice.

Sae-Byeok shrugged her shoulders. "I can't..had a nightmare like you. I would love nothing more than to hug my brother." She now gave out a genuine smile.

"You have a brother? Where is he?"

"He's in foster care. I visit him everyday, with the money I'll win I'm going to bring our mother back to live with us." I was happy that Sae-Byeok decided to open herself up to me.

Sae-Byeok went and partnered herself with the younger girl, Ji Yeong. Of course the young girl was no longer in this room.

"I hope you get too bring her home soon. I"m positive you've been a great sister to your little brother." I replied back when she has told me more of her family and I opened up myself to her as well.

"You care about him a lot." Sae-Byeok looked past my shoulder and I followed her gaze. Gi-Hun was sleeping at an odd position on a mattress. He was always a odd sleeper.

"You act cold like me but you really love him, don't you?" I looked at her afraid and nodded my head.

Sae-Byeok smiled sadly and rested her head against the wall. "I don't want to though..only one of us in this room might live."

I began to whisper and continued looking at him sleep. "He gets on my nerves a bit, but he's a good man." I chuckle at the girls words and couldn't help but agreed on that too.

"He has many flaws, yes, like not being exactly present in his daughters life but he does his best."

Whenever he didn't have any kind money to buy something for his daughter, I would gladly lend him some of mine. "You should meet her sometime, she's the nicest girl I've met. Maybe she and your little brother could meet up and play together."

I began telling her once I stood and walked over to Gi-Hun and draped the blanket I had on him, he seemed to be shivering a bit

I looked back at Sae-Byeok, we both smiled. "That would be great."

*********

There was just a few of us left now. We were taken to a blank room with a few mannequins with numbers on a vest they had on. Everyone became skeptical to it but began to race to grab one of them, Gi-Hun and I being one of the few left without a number.

We stepped forward and I grabbed number. Gi-Hun was the very last one behind me. "Do you have any idea what the game might be?" I began to hear him ask Sangwoo.

"I'm not certain, but I for sure wouldn't have chosen the last numbers." He said eyeing us both.

"We never knows, we may have done luck being the last ones." I quickly responded back and saw him shut his mouth.

We were lined up in order and we're taken outside of the room, and yes, we were once again above ground. "Glass Stepping Stones is your next game." We were announced and now I truly began to panic.

Bright colorful lights surrounded us like it was a fun circus. A macabre one for sure. There's two glasses, if we step on the wrong one well we'll fall to our death.

Once again there was another countdown for us to make it to the other side and one by one the remaining of the people began to step forward. I continued to shake and wiped off the sweat off my forehead when I saw that my turn to step on the glass was getting closer.

I heard screaming and didn't dare to see them fall down, that happened many times. Little by little many people were already gone, some pushing them off the edge to figure if the next glass was the durable one that wouldn't break.

"Player 201." One of the masked guard told me to react. I shakily took off my shoes and stepped closer to the edge, I couldn't help but look down. I felt myself getting light-headed.

"You can do it." Sae-Byeok told me and Gi-Hun nodded. I took a long shaky breath and stepped on the first glass. I'm safe. Of course, I will be. I'm one of the last here.

I tried to replay that in my head. "Nothing will happen to me." I stepped on the other one and tried to not get dizzy or slip.

Sangwoo looked back at us and continued stepping on the glasses straight ahead. The tattooed guy and the older woman he was with earlier were now eliminated, both of them falling.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Gi-Hun giving me a shaky thumbs up. I did my best to go on, and stopped. An older man was staring down at the glasses.

"My specialty is glass. I think I know which one is the unbreakable one." He said being now the first person in line with Sangwoo behind him.

"Then you better hurry up because our time is running out." Sangwoo said in front of me. The man nodded and stepped back up, "It's this one." He confidently told us.

I closed my eyes once he jumped to the next glass, nothing. "Good going old man." I said and smiled when he didn't fall down.

"I'll try the next one!" He exclaimed and began to examine the glass.

I stared up at him hopefully and soon it was crushed when Sangwoo pushed him when he took too long. "O-Oh fuck." I tried to breath and soon enough I was having a panic attack.

"You need to take the next step!"

"(Y/N)...(Y/N)" Someone called out my name. I looked back concerned and saw that it was Gi-Hun. "Look into my eyes, try to breath, here like me."

I couldn't take the next step do Gi-Hun came over and stepped where I was standing, standing really close to me. He grabbed my hands and began to breath.

"Don't look below, (Y/N). We'll get through this." I did as he told and began to slowly regain my breathing. "That's it." Gi-Hun smiled at me.

"Now I'm going to step ahead, okay? I want you to hold my hand. I won't let go of you." Gi-Hun..he's always so loving towards me.

"I trust you." I repeatedly nodded.

Gi-Hun reached for my hand which I happily accepted and quickly began to walk forward before the countdown finished. Gi-Hun reached the end first and I jumped forward and felt Gi-Hun wrap his arms around me.

The timer stopped and the remaining glasses were destroyed. We turned around and I felt Gi-Hun pull me closer, to protect me from the shattering glass that began to fly everywhere. I winced in pain when I felt a shard of glass fly across my cheek.

"Remaining Players. Follow me."

Gi-Hun and I exchanged looks along with Sae-Byeok. The three of us staring back at Sangwoo, not trusting him anymore.

*********

I had splashed my face with water and entered one of the bathroom stalls to dress myself up. Sae-Byeok was outside cleaning herself up to get changed into what was given to us.

I scrunched up my nose and held onto the jacket and white sleeve shirt. "Why would they give us a suit?"

What do the masked guards or the person behind all of this want with us? There's a last game. Is this it?

I got rid of my green pants and sweater and began to dress up into the clean paid clothes. I walked out and stepped in front of the mirror to try and tie the bow tie given to me.

"How does this stupid thing work?!" I began to get annoyed and decided to throw it on the sink, the white sink had a few blood splatter. I reached down and held onto a large shard of broken glass.

"Sae-Byeok?" I called out and hoped she would be in here but she wasn't.

In a hurry I began to walk out of the bathroom when I gasped and held onto my chest when I was face to face with a guard. "You're blocking my way." I angrily told him.

The masked guard stayed silent and tilted his head, he turned around and all he said was for me to follow him, so I had no choice but to follow him. He guided me back to our room, it was now almost empty with only four bed separated from each other and three long tables cresting s triangle shape.

Sangwoo and Gi-Hun were dressed exactly like Sae-Byeok and I. They all seemed very tired especially Sae-Byeok and Sangwoo.

The guards came over with wine bottles and plates, with a large steak and other many pastries for us to eat. I don't feel like eating..I feel terribly exhausted.

I want to go home now...

I glanced over and saw Sae-Byeok was awfully quiet and breathing heavily. The three of them began to eat their meal with her slowly doing the same, I only took a couple of bites of the steak but began to drink more of the red wine.

We were all pretty silent when we finished and went to our beds. Well, Gi-Hun came and joined my side. Each of us had a knife in hand, it was the only thing the guards left us on the table when they cleaned it up.

Gi-Hun was sat up against the wall next to me and continued to glare at Sangwoo. "We can't trust him, not after what he did.

"Agreed, he knew what the games would be and never told us, he didn't tell you. You were closer to him and all he did was stay silent, especially when we had to play the second game. He wants to kill us."

I feel Sangwoo looking at us, so we look back and Gi-Hun was very disappointed in him. "I'll be right back, I'll check up on Sae-Byeok."

Gi-Hun left and rushed over to her. He seemed worried about her, she was too quiet and kept on panting heavily. I couldn't make out what they were talking about, I glanced back and saw Sangwoo had fallen asleep.

I carefully got up and quietly began to step closer to him. Gi-Hun was about to attack him but stopped, I assume Sae-Byeok told him not to, but I will. I held up the knife in my hands and I was getting closer to him.

"Help! She's bleeding!" I heard Gi-Hun shouted and began to run forward to try and get the guards in. I looked back surprised and saw Sae-Byeok had a big red stain on her.

"Sae-" Someone covered my mouth and I tried to scream but Sangwoo held onto me tight. He kicked my legs and held me down on the floor and he began to wrap his arms around my throat.

I tried to kick and punch him but couldn't. Sangwoo's eyes were filled with rage and.. sadness? Slowly he started to let go of me, he stared back at his hands surprised and he started to run past me.

I coughed and began to stand up and tried to shout Gi-Hun's name. I held onto my sore throat and finally shouted his name when breath filled my lungs. "Gi-Hun!" He looked back at me and the doors in front of him opened.

The guards came in and one held onto a gun and the others walked past Gi-Hun with a large coffin. "No.." i began to cry when they lifted Sae-Byeok.

Sangwoo killed her. Her throat was slashed and her entire chest was covered in blood. I angrily started running towards him, to attack him but one of the guards pinned me to the floor and held me there so I wouldn't kill the man.

"You bastard! I'm gonna kill you." I continued to cry and saw Sae-Byeok's body being taken away.

**********

It was just Sangwoo, Gi-Hun and I. We were back to where it all started, "Welcome to the last game. Squid Game."

The rules were explained to us, but by this point they longer longer mattered. Only of one of us gets to leave. All my anger I had built up, well I was attacking Sangwoo. We each began to beat each other up, well Gi-Hun and I trying our best to beat Sangwoo.

He's stronger than us, sure, but I wouldn't give up. Not after what he did.

Gi-Hun had thrown his knife away but Sangwoo did not. He was beating Gi-Hun badly until he was bleeding a lot. It began to rain heavily but that didn't stop them, I jumped in and stabbed Sangwoo's leg.

"Quit trying to protect him!" Sangwoo angrily told me when he easily got the knife out of his leg and stopped to look at me.

"I was always so jealous, you know? The way Gi-Hun never stopped caring about you. The reason you broke up with me was because I wasn't him, I could've given you everything but you chose him."

"You have nothing, Sangwoo. You're in much debt as we are, unlike you, Gi-Hun was always loving and protective. You always kept to yourself and always ran from your problems."

Sangwoo knew this too well, he never told his mother the truth and the poor woman still thinks he's working in the U.S. "If you want to kill me then fine."

Sangwoo stepped closer and looked down at me and his angry expression changed. "..I would never do that."

As soon as he said that Gi-Hun grabbed him and pulled him back down. Both of them began to fought until it stopped, I looked over Gi-Hun's back and saw Sangwoo had stabbed his own neck. Gi-Hun shaking a bit stood up and looked back at me.

"There! He's dead, we won!" I shout at the guards and they did nothing but stare. "Only one of you can leave."

Worried, I looked at Gi-Hun and his eyes widened when he saw the knife in my hands, the one I had carried. "I'm sorry, Gi-Hun." I ran forward and tackled him to the ground. I held onto the knife tight in my hands and stabbed the knife through the sand next to his head.

"(Y/N), stop this!" Gi-Hun shouldn't since he didn't expect me to attack him. He pushed me away and quickly got away from me.

I stood up quick and stoppex from trying to attack him and held onto the knife in my hands tightly.

"You want to know the reason why I hated and tried to get away from you?!" I shouted painfully and felt the warm tears running down my face despite the heavy rain pouring on us.

"It's because I never stopped loving you, Gi-Hun." I finally tell him. It was never a lie. That's why I tried to avoid him and acted all tough, so he wouldn't be friends with me anymore.

But no matter how hard I tried to push him away, he always came back. "You were the only man who treated me like I was worth something. Despite you marrying another woman back then I continued to love you."

Gi-Hun stares at me surprised, "Maybe in another life we would've been happy. Thank you for being my friend and first love." I smile and start to remember everything about us.

How we would stay late at night, watching movies, going on small dates with the few amount of money we had saved up. Me cooking meals for him whenever he'd go for work when he managed to land on a couple.

"But only one of us gets to live." I held the knife to my throat. It was all plan do the guards wouldn't intervene, I never planned on killing him, it was all a show for the guards.

I closed my eyes and as soon as I was about to slice my own throat, I was pushed to the ground and began to fight Gi-Hun again. But instead of me attacking him, he was attacking me, to not kill myself.

I saw the knife had flown and fallen on the ground ahead of me, I groaned and tried to reach out when Gi-Hun held my legs and started pulling me away from grabbing the knife.

"Let me do this!" I fought back the tears and turned around and headbutt him. I heard Gi-Hun groan in pain.

"Only one of us can get out of here with the money, and it's gonna be you! You need to take care of my mother, okay?! Promise me you will!" I cried out when I reached the knife again and saw Gi-Hun looking at me scared, he was still on the ground.

"(Y/N), Please don't do this to me." I shook my head and tried to ignore his warm eyes. Those eyes that always stared back at me lovingly despite my previous hate towards him.

"Let go of the knife..I'll find a way for us to leave." Gi-Hun took a step forward and slowly started to walk to me. "Just put it down, think of your mother, Sae-Byeok, all of the people we cared for." My hands began to shake and I began to cry even more.

I stared down and saw Gi-Hun take the knife off my hands. He threw it away and wrapped his arms tightly around me.

"I won't let you kill yourself. I still love you, (Y/N)" I smiled at his words and began to cry, tears of happiness.

"Don't ever change, Gi-Hun." I hugged him back and slowly started to let go. Gi-Hun looked at me confused then slowly started to pull away.

Blood.

Blood started to stain the white shirt. I stabbed myself at the chest. "No, no no." Gi-Hun held onto me when I started to feel weak and he placed me on the ground. I felt his hands applying pressure to my wound.

"W-Why would you do this?!" Gi-Hun stuttered and I saw tears beginning to form in his eyes. "Help! Someone please me!" He started to shout at the guards.

"Gi-Hun, you know there's no use." I took a shaky breath and felt blood on my lips, I was coughing a bit of blood.

One of Gi-Hun's hands was still applying pressure while he held my hand. I smiled up at him and continued to smile when I reached out and caressed his cheek.

"You look nice in red..I love you..Gi-Hun."

I always heard that when people were close to death, all they'd feel was coldness. But I didn't, I felt warmth despite the cold rain pouring over us.

Gi-Hun leaned down and pressed his lips against mine. I felt his warm tears hitting my face, he held me close to him. My eyes started to get heavy, last thing I felt was Gi-Hun holding onto me tightly, with him saying my name and crying out.

*********

Gi-Hun's pov

I stared back down surprised, seeing (Y/N) lovely smiled which rare for me to see. "I love you..Gi-Hun." I woke up panting and felt the ground wet. I began to squirm, I'm free. I won the games.

I felt my hands and feet tied up together like the first time with my eyes covered again. Thankfully someone was nearby and helped me out, I shakily thanked the man and began to run down the dark empty streets, I felt my stomach turning. I fell down to my knees and began to throw up.

Something slid out of my mouth and I looked down and saw a credit card. I wiped my mouth with my sleeved and slowly began to walk to an atm. I made it in, inserted the car and typed my zip code.

"45.6 billion.." I read the amount on the screen.

My breathing got shaky and I found myself crying. We were supposed to get out together...

The street to my way home was quiet, the rain hasn't stopped. I unlocked the door to my apartment and found the lights were off, "Mom?" I called out. It's pretty late, she must be asleep..

"Mother, I'm back home." I called out hoping to see her. I could use some company right now..it's been six days since I've seen her.

I stopped and saw a figure on the floor. I took a closer look and I felt even worse. "Mother.." she's dead. I felt a second pang to my heart, all I did was quietly cry to myself next to her corpse.

***********

"Gi-Hun..Wake up." I felt someone brushing off my long hair out of my face. The woman chuckled to herself and I slowly opened my eyes and looked up at (Y/N), she was sitting on the edge of my bed.

"(Y/N)?" I asked and began to rub my eyes to make sure it was really her.

She smiled and rested her hand on my cheek. "It was about time you woke up sleepyhead., Today's a great day. We're picking up your daughter from school!"

"Daughter?"

"Yes, you won custody over her."

I watch her stand up and began to freak out when I took a good look at her. "What's that?!" I asked pointing at her form.

She hummed confused and laughed at my reaction, I was pointing to her growing pregnant stomach. "Did you have a bad dream?" She asks reaching out to check if I had a fever.

"This isn't real.." I begin to whisper to myself. I closed my eyes again and opened them back up. I was in my room but (Y/N) wasn't here, I was alone again.

I frowned and rested my head on the pillows again and felt empty inside. I've never felt like this before.. It's already been a year since I joined the games and I haven't touched the money that I won.

I received a card yesterday, I checked it and it led to a location. I'm planning on heading there tonight...

Ever since my mother died I kept to myself again. When I returned she was gone, Sangwoo's mother lost her small shop, (Y/N) mother passed away a week later when I arrived. Everything has been shit.

I took my time trying to clean my small home and took my time to go out to this location. It was about night time, it was getting colder each day.

Nights like these reminded me of the first few dates (Y/N) and I shared together.

I tried my best to forget her face, she looked so happy before she left. I had a hard time facing (Y/N's) mother since she kept asking for them.

Back then, I held onto her body and begged the guards to not get rid of her body like the rest. That I would bury her myself with the money I earned, so she'd have a resting place for me to visit, but they declined.

Now, I found myself in an unlocked room. I saw a figure on a hospital bed, it was the old man. I felt anger again, the first emotion I've felt other than pain. He shared me what happened, he's the one who made the games possible.

"Pitying yourself won't bring your dearest friend back." Is one of the last things he said before he took one final breath.

***********

Few days went by and now I was determined to do something. (Y/N), Sae-Byeok and Sangwoo wouldn't have wanted to see me like this, I decided to finally touch the money in my bank account and headed straight to change my appearance.

"You look nice in red." I reminded (Y/N's) words. I sat down and ordered to cut off my long hair and dye it red.

I felt like a new man, a strong determined one this time. I bought a new phone, for myself a nice suit to wear and located where Sae-Byeok's little brother is.

I met up with the boy and adopted him, as soon as I signed all papers I met up with Sangwoo's mother and saw her working late at night. I introduced them both together and told her take care of him. I left a luggage with enough money for her and the little boy and I began to leave.

My daughter answered to my call and sounded happy, I got a ticket and I'm leaving South Korea for good. I held onto my bag and waited for the train to take me to the airport.

I continued walking and noticed two men on the other side form where I was. I stopped and saw that man, the one who gave me the card to call and join the game. That Salesman guy.

The man spotted me staring so I left my belongings and began to run to confront him. "Where is he?!" I held onto the confused man who was with the Salesman.

The man pointed ahead and I saw the Salesman already on the train. I curses to myself when he waved goodbye when the doors closed and he left. That left me thinking.

Can I really leave without putting an end to this? More people are going to get killed and I may be the one to stop it.

Angrily I told the man off and grabbed the card he had. Back alone I started to head off from where I was going, I got on the train in time and sat far away from the people.

I've been devastated by the experience I live, (Y/N) is dead. When I returned home I found my mother dead and my daughter gone.

All I feel is rage now. Am I ready to move to America?

The Salesman is recruiting people again, for another annual Squid Game competition.

I held onto my bag and began to walk down to enter the plane until I stopped and thought hard. I can't go..I need to end this. To put a stop to these fucking games and avenge (Y/N's) death. I wanted nothing more than to come back, and finally have a happy life but I guess I'll always end up alone.

I drop following the people ahead of me and grabbed my phone to dial the number on the card. I press the phone to my ear and wait for it to be picked up.

"Do you wish to participate in the game? If you wish to play, please state your name and date of birth."

"Seong Gi-Hun. October, 31, 1974."

I take a deep breath and continue, "Listen carefully. I'm not a horse. I'm a person. That's why I want to know..who you people are and how you can do these horrible things to people.

The line was quiet until a man responded. "Player 456. Don't get any absurd ideas."

"This wasn't a dream. I can't forgive you for the things you did and continue to do."

"Just get on that plane. If you know what's good for you." I ended the call and turned around and began to leave.

I'm going to put a stop to this. I put my feelings aside to see my daughter but I'm determined, I've never been so sure of anything in my life until now. The games and (Y/N) opened up my eyes to see the truth.

Just you watch, (Y/N). I'll finally make you feel proud of me.

Could I request a yandere vampire viewing humans to be nothing more than food, only to find their Darling stand out amongst the many mortals they’ve consumed over the years?Instead of draining their Darling prey dry in a few weeks like usual, the vampire decides to keep their Darling - to savor, to play with, and cherish in its own way - much to Darling’s dismay at seeing no end or escape in sight. Bonus points if the vamp bite can be pleasurable or painful, depending on the vamp’s mood, and can be used as a reward or punishment as needed. Double bonus for nsfw bits if you’re feeling up to it

I just felt like writing about bitemarks, make of that what you want. Thanks for requesting!

»»———————— ♡ ————————««

You winced as they put the weight of their arms on top of yours, tangling their fingers with yours. With your arms stretched out by long, silk fabric and suspended in the air on either side, you had crumbled to the ground, exhausted, drained, spent. Only making you more vulnerable than you already were. You looked up into the mirror before you and at yourself, your eyes lidded from getting no sleep ever since you arrived, and your body missing its energy, skin sunken in as if you were sick.

The vampire let out a satisfied groan, watching you through the reflection in the mirror. Of course, you couldn’t see them in return. You just felt them. You felt their breath against your cheek, the weight of their body as they leaned on you and your feeble condition, and the itching pain from the bite marks that were all over you.

When you were chosen as a sacrifice, you naturally felt the weight of the world on your shoulders. Unlike the many sacrifices you had witnessed over the years, you tried to put on a brave smile, help with the preparations, and even changed your diet. All so that the last few hours of your life would be meaningful. But in reality, you were horrified. Scared and unwilling to die. Creatures like the vampires should be flogged and not appeased with sacrifices they could eat. You weren’t cattle! You were a living, breathing human! However, now that you spent days with them, you realized that it was absolutely impossible to be anything other than a blood donor.

Over and over, their fingertips tapped on the marks they left behind from their teeth. Some started bruising, hurting under their touch. Others were still oozing crimson blood after being torn open. Your life had become much worse than that of cattle. You wouldn’t die as quickly as a cow or goat. You had to endure until you either were killed out of boredom or drained dry to the vampire’s pleasure.

“Tears ruin the taste,” they scolded you, indifferent to the feeling of helplessness and fear you were experiencing. Instinctively, like the people-pleaser you were, you tried to wipe them away, but your hands were still suspended in midair, hanging from the walls on either side of you. If only you could have had a bit of dignity, maybe dying wouldn’t have been so bad. But they restrained you like the sacrifice you were, making you look at yourself in the mirror as they tortured you.

You didn’t even want to think about what they’d do to your body after you died.

Long, cold fingers wrapped around your throat, the mild strangulation uncomfortable yet able to make you focus on it instead of everything else. Deep breaths, the villagers said. Whenever the vampire touches you, take deep breaths to keep calm. Struggling was futile anyway, and you are a sacrifice, not a wild animal. The villagers told you that as if you should be proud of your position, but how in the world could you be proud of what you had become?

One hand wandered upwards to your face, the fingers slim like spider legs, but you couldn’t help but notice that they had begun to warm up, and you assumed that was thanks to your blood. They crept up on you until you had to fear their long nails were going to pluck out your eye. Squeezing them both close tightly, you hoped to at least not experience that horror, only feeling how one of the fingers brushed by your eyelashes, wiping away the tears for you.

Blinking a few times, the hand disappeared, and you heard a very disappointed sounding, “Salty...” from behind you. Twisting your head to look back over your shoulder, you were met with the bright crimson eyes that drilled into yours, their hand slowly lowering from their mouth after they had a taste of your tears and an unsatisfied expression on their face.

“Told you it ruins the taste,” they shrugged, elegantly gesturing that they didn’t care for your tears, and you almost felt inclined to apologize.

“Please...” you muttered, finding that your mouth was terribly dry.

“Hm?” they perked up, having forgotten how your voice sounded after days of silently accepting your fate.

“Please end it,” you pleaded, close to tears again. “I-I’m ready. I don’t care what happens, but I can’t live like this anymore. Please, have mercy!”

You were tired. So, so tired. You wanted to sleep or eat. Go back to your family and see your friends again. But knowing that would never happen, if you at least could die, then you wouldn’t have to suffer anymore.

Instead, fingers wrapped around your chin, their presence suddenly in front of you. Forcing your head back, you were stared at from above, just two red orbs enveloped in darkness, and it was hard to maintain eye contact with them more than ever. “Who do you think you are? Thinking you can make demands?”

“N-No,” you pressed forth through the pain of your jaw crushing under their grip and your bruises ripping open from the strain. “I’d never dare!”

“Good.” Instantly, the vampire’s mood seemed to change back to the usual indifference, and they kneeled down before you. Their right hand brushed down your neck and along your shoulder, getting covered in the red color of your blood before they brought it to their lips, licking it off their knuckles. “I gave you these for a reason. They are a perfect imprint from me on you, so no one will dare to feed off my property. And I’m not done with you yet.”

Speechless, you wanted to say something, but the situation was simply overwhelming. Why would they want to mark you? Why was it important who you belonged to? You were just a sacrificed ready to be consumed.

A flinch escaped you as they leaned forward, and you were expecting another burning bite, but instead, lips pecked at the bite wounds tenderly, one after the other. Again and again, until the kisses became fervent, tongue lapping out, sucking at your skin. It stung and burned, and you had to bite your lip tightly as to not let out a sound. Your body grew hot and felt like it was pulling at your open skin; it was almost too much.

Until you suddenly felt hot breath against your lips, opening your eyes alarmed. With an eager tongue, the vampire tasted from the blood on your mouth before parting your lips, breaths and tongues mingling. You expected to taste your own blood, but it tasted sweeter than you could have ever dreamed about. Sweet, enticing, and hot, that’s what the kiss felt like, even though your body was struggling with the pain and the hand on your throat cutting off more air than you could take in. And yet, as if magically pushed towards the vampire, you only leaned in more, tried to get more of the sweet pleasure of their tongue. Just as surprising as it came, it ended, and you were left gasping as the vampire pulled away.

“Better?” they asked, and through your fogged brain, you weren’t sure you understood. “Don’t ever ask to die again. Remember, you are mine forever.”

With them standing up, you got a glimpse of yourself in the mirror again, and you blinked a few times at the image before you. All over your left shoulder, there was no mark left, and your skin had puffed up again, eyes wide open and awake. The vampire disappeared behind you again, but you quickly felt their arms wrap around your torso, a feeling you knew well by now. “If you’re truly that miserable, tell me. I wouldn’t know. I don’t understand you humans. But know that my help comes at a price.”

Finally, you were able to puzzle together your thoughts. The healthy feeling you had, together with your body looking perfectly fine, must be the vampire’s doing. They must have used some kind of magic or trick on you, but having exhausted themselves by doing that, that probably meant...

Their fangs protruding from their mouth, they dragged them along your supple skin, searching for the best spot to bite down. Fleshy, warm, and soft. Where the blood would spurt out from the slightest irritation. Clenching your teeth, you couldn’t help but try to fight their tight embrace, tried to get out before it was too late. But your struggles were futile, only pressing you up into their fangs until you felt them sink into you inch by inch.

Your ears buzzing and your heart racing as you were fed from, you only shut your eyes tightly, holding back the gasps and moans, not wanting anyone to think this was actually enjoyable. But the sweet taste on your tongue remained, as well as the feeling of their lips against yours, making you wonder what they meant when they claimed you for ‘forever’.
