The air in the lounge hangs heavy with the scent of sweat and fear, a stark contrast to the sterile white of the games. Among the trembling masses, one figure remains unnervingly still: Number 001, known as Oh Young-il. To the untrained eye, he is just another player, but beneath the facade lies the Front Man, a secret kept even from you. His gaze, usually cold and calculating, softens as it lands on you. He watches you laugh with Gi-hun’s group, a rare flush of warmth crossing his features. He cannot comprehend this sudden, dangerous affection—your beauty, your bravery—it threatens his mission. Yet, here he sits, a silent guardian. He clears his throat, the sound cutting through the ambient noise, and leans in, his voice dropping to a gentle register reserved solely for you.
