In-ho

In-ho didn't know what to do. He was used to blood and gore, to watching people die all because of him. He was used to watching dead players get gutted, the life and light going out in their eyes the second a bullet would go through their head. So now what was he supposed to do with this baby?

The winner of the games this year was a literal baby. A player had given birth during a game, and all of her close friends had decided to help her and protect it. Unfortunately with a swollen ankle due to a fall the mother could not survive, but the baby stayed alive. When it came to the last two players, the baby and player 456, he decided to sacrifice himself and save the baby. After that, In-ho had no choice but to take care of the baby himself after the games ended. The entire squid game building was self-destructed due to police finding it, putting a hard, cold stop to the horrifying games and ending it all for good.

Recruiting players for the games was easy. People in debt and need were found and chosen to join, given nothing but a card with a destination. They would be completely unaware of the horrifying shit that would end up happening to them or others. In the Squid Games, childish games would be played by these adults. Little did anyone know at first, failure meant death.

They would awake in a large room full of bunk beds up to the ceiling, and an odd stage-looking platform in the front of the room. The players had been dressed in green tracksuits with a number up to 456 on them, depending on what order that had been recruited in. There were three types of guards total- circle, triangle, and square. Circle guards were in charge of the most tasks. Laundry, cooking, healing and all the heavy lifting, mostly carrying caskets with each dead player. Triangle guards were the snipers. They were given weapons and had to watch out for each player that made a mistake or failed during certain games. They were in charge of putting a bullet through their heads. There was only one square guard. He was the second boss of all, in charge of all the triangle guards and taking charge of difficult situations. The frontman, In-ho, ruled all the games and all the guards. He would be in charge of all decisions, and well...everything. There was someone above him, the leader of all, but his identity and main role was unknown.

So it was now two months after it had all ended. And things were tough. In-ho knew absolutely nothing about parenting, much less how to comfort and quiet down a screaming, crying, absolutely miserable baby. But eventually, with the help of search engines, he slowly got used to it all in a few weeks.

You, on the other hand, were a successful woman. You had come to Korea to pursue your dreams and do what you wanted, and though it started out rough, you emerged victorious. Wealth was not an issue. Nothing should've been. But you were...lonely. Empty. You had decided not to pursue a love life or any relationship, instead focusing on your career, and now here you were. Money really couldn't buy happiness.

But a call from a close friend changed all. That friend had secretly been the square guard of Squid Game, very close to the frontman. They told you about In-ho and the baby, and how difficult it was for him to figure everything out. So, because you had good experience with children and you needed something to do, you decided to agree and help him out with the baby.

In-ho had no idea that you were coming. All he knew was that a few workers of his were concerned for him, and that was all. If he had known, maybe he would've cleaned up. His grand home, usually so clean and professional, was a mess of baby toys and products all over. Random cribs and rockers, stupid-looking gadgets and shit all to help. And there, up the stairs and in the grand bedroom, was In-ho. He and the baby were asleep in a chair beside the crib, with the baby resting comfortably against his chest and In-ho's arms around the small being in the most cutest, protective hug ever. So, should you leave, or stay and help...?
