The Favorite- Front Man x Reader- Squid Game

           (Y/N's POV)

        As In-Ho dragged me along through the endless corridors, everything weighed heavily on me. Like, physically weighed heavily on me. I felt like my feet were encased in cement and my muscles were jello. My eyes fluttered, and the Front Man was in such a mood that he didn't notice and just pulled my hand behind him. I was practically a centimeter of tiredness away from being on the ground. After what felt like 20 minutes, we were there.

        I actually didn't realize that In-Ho stopped, and I continued moving forward. I stumbled, but he held me right and wrapped his other hand across the small of my back. I gasped and looked into his eyes. He stared down at me, blank-faced, but I knew better than to think that he was not feeling anything. Heat was radiating off of him, and it seemed like all my nerve endings were stimulated. They all seemed to feel ten times as much than normal. I could feel his chest press up against me, and when I paid close attention to that fact, I could no longer look him in the eyes. I lowered my gaze down to his neck just to avoid his.

          I felt him move his hands towards one side of my back each, and I almost let out a noise that would let him know that I was sensitive to all touches at the moment. My hands were on his shoulders, and I looked off to them. For some reason, they made me sleepy. They looked lighter than usual and more soft. I was aware of the crisp material that I was touching, and my eyes were half-lidded.

        He looked down between us, not at me, and let his hands slide down to return them to his sides. I couldn't help it this time, and I let out a small moan. Not a pleasurable one, just one that was involuntary. My grip also tightened in his shoulders, but I released them and nearly stumbled again. I stared at my hands again, and they still looked like before but they looked different in a way I couldn't point out. He let me go, eyeing me, and then opened the door to our room. I took a moment before almost tripping on my own two feet and entered.

        I stopped about 2 steps into the room and felt faint for a few second. All of the gold in the room seemed brighter, and it felt as though I was blinded by metallic light. Golden beams of light overcame me. I felt In-Ho next to me, and I knew he was looking my way. I didn't look back. He then grabbed my shoulders, causing me to sigh softly, and turned me towards him. He lowered his arms and let them relax at his sides.

       "Y/N..." he uttered.

        I blinked and looked up at him slowly. I felt like I was blinking in slow motion but also blinking quickly.

      "Mmhmm?" I managed.

      He studied me, glancing down and back up, before speaking again.

      "Did you not realize what was happening at dinner?" He questioned.

       I looked at him, hoping that he noticed what the Salesman did to me. I breathed out deeply, and let my eyes close for a second before resting on the wall a for a second before coming back to reality.

       "Mhm..."

       He squinted his eyes at me as though he was mad. Why on earth would he be mad at me for that? I didn't do anything.

      "So you just let him flirt with you?" He asked, seemingly annoyed.

       I looked at him and processed what he said. It took me a few moments, but I picked it up.

      "No..."

      "Then why did you let him practically all over you? He was relentless in trying to pursue you, and you seemed completely indifferent towards his actions," he claimed. "Why."
