Plot twist: The alpha on the fifth day was Jung-bae and he’s the father.
“Okay,” Jung-bae said gently. “Just calm down. You can’t smoke to calm down anymore, so try deep breathing or… count to ten or whatever pregnant people do.”
“I’m going to be the talk of my ex-wife’s garden club until I die,” Gi-hun moaned, collapsing onto the couch.
“Come on, buddy,” Jung-bae said, patting his shoulder. “No use spiraling. Let’s just figure this out logically, yeah? Start by mapping them out.” He went to a corkboard covered in tickets and various photographs and took them down stacking them neatly before producing sticky notes and tacks as if they were detectives. “You said four alphas, some you know, some you don’t—five days, four mistakes. Let’s go in order. Who was first?”
Gi-hun scratched his cheek. “Sang-woo,” He muttered. Then, because of course it needed clarification, “Cho Sang-woo.”
Jung-bae froze mid-tack, his eyebrows crawling up into his hairline. “Cho Sang-woo? The Cho Sang-woo? The pride of Ssangmun-dong? That Cho Sang-woo?”
Gi-hun raised an eyebrow. “What, is there another one?”
Jung-bae shook his head slowly, like he could not believe what he was writing as he scribbled the name down. The tack made a particularly judgmental squeak as he pinned it to the board. “I’m just surprised. I know you two were like childhood sweethearts or whatever, but from the few times we’ve gone out for drinks I’ve seen him smile exactly once, and it looked like it hurt him physically.” He glanced over. “So, when you two finished, did he give you a performance review or…?”
He ducked just in time to dodge the flying shoe.
“If anyone should be questioning the decision,” Gi-hun said, “It’s Sang-woo! He could have far more suitable omegas. Goodness knows his mother only talks about it every time I come by her stall. ‘My Sang-woo is the most eligible bachelor—handsome and rich!’”
“He could,” Jung-bae agreed instantly.
The other shoe flew through the air.
“Okay! Okay! Moving on!” Jung-bae yelped, scribbling like his life depended on it. “Second alpha?”
“In-ho,” Gi-hun said, arms crossed tight. “Hwang In-ho.”
Jung-bae nodded, writing it down. “Someone we don’t know. Progress. Got an age? Occupation?”
“Forty-five. Two years younger than me. He’s a cop.”
Jung-bae stopped mid-letter. “You slept with a cop? What if it was a sting? What if he thought you were—”
“I’m not a criminal!” Gi-hun snapped. “The only arrest on my record was from—” He stopped himself, mouth shutting with a click.
Jung-bae raised one slow, unimpressed eyebrow.
“It wasn’t for prostitution, I’ll tell you that,” Gi-hun muttered, waving him off.
“Alright, alright,” Jung-bae said, sticking it to the board. “Third alpha?”
“I don’t know his name,” Gi-hun mumbled, suddenly very interested in a frayed thread on the couch cushion.
The pen dropped.
“You don’t know—?”
“But!” Gi-hun sprang up and grabbed the pen and one of the sticky notes. “I can draw his face.”
Moments later, he stepped back to reveal a truly tragic sketch: a face with massive round eyes, cartoonish lips and parted dark hair.
Jung-bae stared at it. Blinked. “Great. We’ll print these out. Tape them to lampposts. Wanted: Alpha Baby Daddy. Likes long walks and kissing with these lips apparently—”
“Shut up!” Gi-hun threw himself back onto the couch.
“Last one?”
Gi-hun sighed. “Jun-ho.”
“Okay, cool—”
“Hwang Jun-ho.”
Jung-bae looked up sharply. “That’s… that’s a funny coincidence.”
Gi-hun did not look at him. “It’s uh. Not a coincidence. That’s In-ho’s little brother.”
Silence.
Jung-bae stared at the cork board. Then at Gi-hun. Then at the cork board again, like it might rearrange itself into something more reasonable.
“...You slept with two brothers. Two. Brothers.”
Gi-hun covered his face with a pillow and screamed into it. Then he pulled it away and moaned in despair,”I didn’t know that until after the fact I swear!”
OR: Omega Gi-hun spends a particularly nasty heat with four different alphas, Sang-woo, In-ho, Jun-ho, and the Salesman, and gets pregnant and then has to find out who the father is.
THIS IS EVERYTHING I COULD POSSIBLY WANT AND MORE!!! 🙏🙏
anon if u write this into a fic, i will give u my first born 😩🙌 i need to know how and why gihun transitioned from one man to the next! 🥹
also, four alphas in five days, damn gihun.... even during a heat, that's crazy lmao donna sheridan final boss
Thinking about how Gi-hun’s old and new teams would interact with each other.
For sure, Jung-bae, Dae-ho, and Ali would be besties and get along so well.
I think Sae-byeok would be like the protective older sister to Jun-hee, since she has a little brother and Jun-hee is pregnant.
Il-nam would be the evil dad we all hate of In-ho and tell him continuing the games is much more important than his son’s love for Gi-hun.
Sang-woo would be the first to know In-ho and Il-nam are the ones behind the games and In-ho would likely kill him, to keep him stay quiet and out of jealousy that Gi-hun likes him more.
So true!!!!

so funny when people make sang-woo the evil ex from gi-hun's past. he would NOT be acting like that in 2020 if he had ever actually hit. he would be 300% crazier but in a completely different way
Depressing Sangihun thought of the day:
In the years between S1 and S2, Gi-Hun researched the hotel where Sang-Woo stayed. Let's say everything was left untouched, so the messy room, the cigarettes, the empty bottles of soju, the bathtub left with undrained water, and the stove next to it was all in there, as an evidence of what Sang-Woo went thru before returning to the games. Two notes were left behind, one was wrinkled next to a trashcan, and the other was neatly placed on a desk, right next to his glasses.
The wrinkled was a suicide letter, apologizing for everything he did that led him to that place, especially apologizing to his mother for being a failure and dragging her into his crimes.
The neatly letter explained he was brought another opportunity to fix his mistakes, and might dissappear in the attempt. He explains all the details he knew about the first game but didn't expect anyone to believe him. If he doesn't come back, it would be because he failed at the attempt. If he did come back, he would fix his mistakes. But won't stay for long either, as he didn't see any purpose, even if he had the chance to start over.
Gi-Hun took everything with him, his suits, personal items, and his glasses. Hoarding everything into a room, but his glasses. He kept those in the nightstand beside his bed, staring at it for long hours.
“WHERE’S MY JUUL? WHERE THE FUCK IS IT? WERE YOU SITTING ON IT? HUH? WHERE THE FUCK IS MY JUUL?”
i can’t stop thinking about sang-woo’s suicide attempt. more specifically, little details surrounding that.
on the floor, we see a pile of cigarettes and ash, an empty bottle of soju, a trash bag filled with wrappers of what i’m going to assume are some kind of food or beverage… and shaving cream. which means it is more likely than not that sang-woo shaved himself before his suicide attempt. (he also does look cleanly shaved as well)
further more, when calling his mother, he’s not wearing the jacket of his suit. we see him put it back on. it wasn’t a spur of the moment decision; he willingly got in the bathtub with his suit on, assuming he was going to die.
so sang-woo made sure that even in death, he looked presentable and clean. he doesn’t want to be found a mess, because he’s meant to be better than a mess, and he wants people to think highly of him, even if he’s dead.
oh, the sheer irony of his actual death being messy.
look how far we’ve come.

also, it still breaks my heart that sang-woo was never able to tell his mother he loves her. while yes, he did get interrupted by the customer, i feel he also held back because of the things that had happened.
he’d basically jeopardized his mother because of his own wrongdoings, and he hadn’t really been the son she thought he was for the past couple years. that alone feels like a betrayal on its own.
and he’s basically drowning himself in shame and guilt that maybe he’s tricked his psyche into thinking “well, if you really loved your mother, none of that shit would have happened.”

favorite things about sangihun
favorite things about sangihun?
how you can see the forty years of history right under each word of their conversations.
how, even after his death, gi-hun hangs on to every word sang-woo says.
how sang-woo spends all of the games trying to avoid his past. how gi-hun continues to drag him back to it. how it ends with him in gi-hun's arms.
i love to think about what could've gone differently with them. what could've given them that happy ending that they so desired.
i love to think about the moments they've stolen over the years. the ones they don't talk about. the ones that they told themselves were accidents.
i love how intertwined they are, most of all. no matter what, they always will be.
never let me cook again
why are we sleeping on sang-woo’s puppy dog eyes. HELLO????

Sangwoo standing up and calling out the third clause of the consent form while the square guard was trying to shut down other players by calling on the second clause was so sexy. Sangwoo out here fighting fire with fire and winning
