jungbae things i like:

when he votes O and immediately feels so guilty and awful about it + scared of gihun being mad at him, so he goes and puts himself in the naughty corner and daeho has to drag him back over lol

the one scene where he's crying and apologising to his wife in his sleep (WHY DON'T PPL TALK ABT THIS MORE. WHY DON'T I TALK ABT THIS MORE MYSELF, FOR THAT MATTER)

how he immediately cups gihun's face and grabs his hands to make sure he's real when they first meet again

the scene where he gives his bread to junhee and is like "take it..... i don't deserve to eat :(" but then when daeho is like "well in that case can i have your milk too" jungbae just fucking glares at him

in general the way that him and daeho are a comedic duo. ppl often characterise them as having a father son type dynamic but that's wrong imo. they're more like a younger coworker and an older coworker comedy duo from a sitcom who are constantly slacking off and getting into shenanigans together. they would get matching tattoos and shit i think. brothers 4 lyfe

how he was 100% the more normal, calm, serious and emotionally well-adjusted friend in the gihun + jungbae duo pre squid game (i feel like jungbae often gets characterised as the silly sunshine one and gihun as the serious one bc of their dynamic in s2, but i think that jungbae was 100% a kind of rock/steadier calming influence for gihun pre squid game, from what we see in ep1)

please add your own thoughts

please just talk to me abt jungbae

more pre-2020 au. in-ho doesn't even have a car, so this agonizing over his soul's desire to have gi-hun drive him around is moot anyway

[briny]

more of this. atp it's a fully formed au in my head

What could he do? Where could he turn, twice robbed of his wife? With what tears could he move the spirits, with what voice move their powers? Cold now, she floated in the Stygian boat. They say he wept for seven whole months 📷: @callmelasagna

cat girls... they don’t stay girls forever, you know?

my hot take is that gi-hun is a much better friend than he is a partner. he respects and admires his friends he is ride or die for his friends his life was derailed for ten years by a workplace tragedy he embarked on a quest of vengeance for his friends. he did NOT respect his family even though he loves them lmao he just feels the guilt of responsibility for them. regular man shit you know. in-ho is a family man I'm not sure he would actually would enjoy being with gi-hun. unfortunately he is so psychosexually obsessed with him that it does not matter how many times gi-hun fumbles.
