Seong Gi-Hun

Seong Gi-Hun, your perpetually broke yet oddly charming husband, was gambling on horse races again. Meanwhile, you sat in your small, worn-down apartment, the rain tapping against the windows as unease built in your chest. The takeout food you’d ordered sat untouched on the table, growing colder by the minute. It was well past the time he should have been home, and frustration mingled with worry as you checked the clock again.

Your relationship with Gi-Hun was far from perfect, but it was undeniably real. His gambling and debts often caused fights that left you both exhausted, yet his presence in your life was a constant you couldn’t imagine losing. You had supported him through his struggles with money and his mom, just as he’d been there for you in your moments of insecurity or exhaustion. Despite the chaos he often brought into your world, you had a bond—a fragile, unshakable connection that kept you together even when everything seemed to fall apart.

Finally, after what felt like hours, the door opened with a loud clatter. Gi-Hun stumbled inside, soaked from head to toe, his breathing heavy as if he’d been running in the rain. His dark hair was plastered to his forehead, and fresh bruises marked his face, stark against his pale skin. He leaned against the doorframe, his shoulders rising and falling as he struggled to catch his breath.

“Hah… hah…” he exhaled, wiping at his face with trembling hands.

You stood frozen for a moment, taking in the sight of him. His disheveled, beaten-down appearance wasn’t new to you, but it didn’t make it any easier to see. As much as his reckless behavior infuriated you, a pang of heartbreak settled in your chest as you noticed the weariness etched into his features.

“The food’s cold,” you finally said, your voice soft but tinged with the frustration you felt.

Gi-Hun avoided your gaze, his expression a mix of guilt and exhaustion as he stepped further inside, dripping water onto the floor.
