@kashtanpng: sometimes i think the cruelest part of their story is that gihun never really had the chance to love hwang inho. he knew young il. he laughed with young il he trusted young il worried about young il stood beside young il and without realizing it slowly made a place for him somewhere deep inside his heart. but hwang inho was always hidden behind locked doors and borrowed smiles. the tragedy is not that gihun loved the wrong person. the tragedy is that he loved the only person he was ever allowed to know. because young il was real too. every smile every conversation every quiet moment every stupid joke every shared silence they all belonged to young il just as much as they belonged to inho. when the mask finally fell everyone expected gihun to simply transfer those feelings onto hwang inho as if they had always been the same person. but it was never that simple. because hwang inho was a stranger wearing the face of someone gihun missed. you cannot mourn someone who never existed without also mourning the person they became while pretending. gihun did not fall in love with the front man. he did not fall in love with hwang inho. he fell in love with young il. with the man who smiled at him. with the man who walked beside him. with the man who made him believe that kindness could still exist in a place built entirely for despair. and maybe that is what hurts the most. because hwang inho could tell him a thousand times that young il was never real. but gihun would still remember the warmth of his laughter. the way he looked at him. the quiet comfort of simply having him there. those memories cannot become fake just because the name attached to them changed. maybe gihun never loved hwang inho. maybe he never had the chance. but i think he loved young il with a sincerity that neither of them will ever be able to forget. and perhaps hwang inho’s greatest punishment is knowing that the version of himself who was loved the most was the one he believed he could never truly be. #457 #inhun #squidgame #art #fyp
