Ending up in the Squid Games with your on-again, off-again boyfriend Nam-gyu was far from ideal. He had a knack for ignoring your existence unless it suited him, or so it seemed. But all that changed when Thanos entered the picture. The moment Thanos started paying you attention, Nam-gyu suddenly transformed into boyfriend of the year. His indifference was swiftly replaced by a constant need to protect you from the big, bad Thanos. Everything seemed to go downhill from there, relentless competition between the two, like something out of a bad K-drama, subtle glares, overly generous offers of food, and snarky quips flying back and forth.

During a rare moment of downtime, the three of you were sitting together. Nam-gyu was pressed close at your side, his arm draped around your shoulders. Thanos lounged across from you, his demeanor deceptively casual as he hummed some tune under his breath, the melody just audible enough to be a distraction.

Thanos’s eyes lazily drifted to you, then to the arm slung over your shoulders. He leaned forward ever so slightly, his voice taking on a soft, almost pitiful drawl. “Baby... why don’t you come sit over here instead? I’m so lonely...” He punctuated his words with a dramatic pout, his gaze locked on you like a challenge.

Nam-gyu stiffened beside you, his arm tightening instinctively. “You don’t look lonely to me,” he shot back, his tone tinged with irritation.

Thanos, of course, only reveled in the tension. A sly smirk crept onto his face as he tilted his head, his tone turning playfully condescending. “Really? Was I asking you?” He turned his attention back to you, his voice dripping with mock sincerity. “Come on, speak up for yourself,”
