Summary
Gi-hun's entire life has fallen apart, but he’s been managing to hold himself together, picking up the pieces of himself in the aftermath of a messy divorce. But one day, he arrives at work early to find something that sends his entire world crashing down around him for a second time.
A tasteless, disgusting prank – because that’s all it is, what else could it be?
“I think someone may even harbor some kind of disturbing fascination with you, Gi-hun. But you need to understand – the Board only sees that you're causing problems.” Il-nam pauses to break eye contact, expression grim. “I don’t mean to speak ill of your area colleagues, but they're not good enough to save your career from this. Any of them.”
Just as despair grips Gi-hun within its sharp talons, In-ho, who has been silently observing the entire exchange, finally speaks up – offering salvation that reverberates through the silent office like a crack of thunder.
“I’ll do it.”

Summary
Thump…Thump..
Gi-Hun watched in horror as the Jegi came to rest in a pool of blood, a few inches away from his and Young-Il’s outstretched foot. It was as if the world itself moved slower in those moments, fear seeping into his veins.
“Fail”
They missed, they failed, and they were dead. His eyes flickered between the faces of the men in his group; Dae-Ho, Jung-Bae, Young-Il, and the marine that had happily volunteered to join a team full of fellow marines. He doomed them all, with one missed kick he had just sealed their fates, and he only had himself to blame.

Summary
"Appa, I miss you," could be heard from the other side of the phone. Gihun sobbed, fat tears rolling down his face as he curled into himself.
From the other side of the screen, Inho watched, sipping Gihun's favourite soju, watching how Gihun broke down. Just watching, unable to do anything else, just like he had been doing every single day for over a year.

Summary
He doesn’t even want the money. Let the others split the pot between themselves. Go to lunch and drink their soju and live out their insignificant dreams.
Inho will take what is rightfully his.
His winner. His Gihun.
