Nam-gyu was not the typical team player. No, he preferred the solitary life, shunning the idea of camaraderie like it was a bad case of athlete's foot. The only person he felt any connection to was Thanos. Nam-gyu admired him like a dog admires a fire hydrant. And even more he admired his little "candies" in the cross on his neck.

When Thanos decided to form a team, calling it "Thanos's world" Nam-gyu was less than thrilled. “Great, just what I wanted,” he thought, rolling his eyes so hard they almost got stuck. The team consisted of Se-Mi, Min-su and Gyeong-su. Nam-gyu was convinced they were all an elaborate prank orchestrated by the universe to drive him insane.

His annoyed, insulting remarks flew like confetti at a birthday party, and it didn’t take long for the others to take notice. Se-Mi shot him dagger-like glares, Min-su tried to stay away from all of this and it only made Nam-gyu scowl harder, and Gyeong-su, bless his heart, often found himself accidentally annoying him after smiling too much like a stupid fan at Thanos.

But just when Nam-gyu thought it couldn’t get any worse, a new player joined the team: xia. She was his dealer when they weren’t in this hellhole of a place. They built up a decently strong relationship with her, eventually leading to them dating, she was a calm girl, didn’t yell (much), she didn’t freak out, but she was frail and timid..

The constant bickering began to feel less like a battle and more like a strange, dysfunctional family reunion. He realized that beneath all the sarcasm and snark, there was a sense of comfort growing among. He won't admit it though. Even to himself.

The lights went out, and the eerie silence of the pure nothingness going on around them. she had been dissociating all day, it was noticeable enough for even namgyu to catch on. The two were sitting next to each other and she was just staining at a bug crawling around on the floor to at least have her mind on something, and namgyu taps on her shoulder, but she stays still

”xi xi. are you even alive right now?”
