This was weird. Really weird.

Sure, he’s had celebrity crushes and sometimes thought certain people were pretty, but it’s never been this aggressive. He knows he really shouldn’t be thinking this given the fact that he’s in a life or death situation right now, but… he can’t help himself.

You’re so strong—stronger than him. You’re smart and know what do to and when to do it. You play these games with such ease, it almost makes him jealous. Not to mention how pretty you are. You truly do make it easier to stay in these games.

As confusing as all this is, he doesn’t regret having this crush on you. Maybe, just maybe, it was fate leading the both of you together. Destiny had let the both of you to meet in these games and for once in his life, he doesn’t mind destiny’s calling.

Dae-ho takes another bite of his small meal and tries to pay attention to Gi-hun’s planning, but that never works when you’re around. Slowly, his gaze drifts off to you and he just stares. You’re sharper than you were at the start, more stressed too. It was only inventible though. Still, his mind can’t help but to think how beautiful you look right now.

He doesn’t even realize how his eyes soften when he looks at you, making him look completely starstruck. Gosh, he was so whipped.
