Kang Sae Byeok - Blog Posts

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.

Doodles

it fucks me up that gi-hun’s first interaction with sae-byeok was to pick up her drink that he knocked over even though he was running for his life

and their last interaction was him realising she was hurt and immediately disregarding his own safety to seek help for her

followed by him cradling her lifeless body and sobbing with grief while repeating her name, continuing to cry for her even while restrained on the floor

he placed her down so gently too. before he grabbed the knife. he could have dropped her and lunged straight at sang-woo, but he was gentle with her

because he really was like a father to her from the very start, even though he was angry with her at first for what she’d done. he forgave her, like he would a scared kid who lashed out in anger

he grieved for her as much as he grieved for the friend he’d known since he was a child.

He barely got to hold her

this is what happened right

sangwoo: me and gihun are having a baby

sae byeok: thats grea-

gihun, slamming adoption papers on the table: its you, sign here-

Wish they could find happiness instead of [redacted]

has anyone ever talked about the fact that the first time we see sae-byeok she’s carrying an iced coffee?

this girl is literally barely surviving, committing crimes on the daily, probably only one step ahead of deok-su and his gang since she ditched them and they want payback, and she still found time and money to buy herself a little treat

and I LOVE that for her. so much. I hope she got a little cookie or something with it too

you might not be her father, but you were someone's

I love writing sae-byeok because even in a fluffy context she’s still (mostly) cool and collected from external POVs and then her own POV is an opportunity to explore her more vulnerable side, the insecurities she still feels, and how experiences from her past have affected her

I love writing stories where she gets to be happy 💗

sadly I can’t find it but there was a post talking about height differences that called sae-byeok a ‘giraffe of a lesbian’ and it always makes me laugh to think about so I had to throw a reference to it into the fic 🦒
