he never got his hands on a virgin (jaekyung was always aware that he's never had experience) and that changes everything. he can't go back to his other buddies bc they don't do the same to jae. kinda fucked up. i also suspect they'll find the culprit with proof and dismiss the tie so his record isn't ''tarnished'' idk about you but a tie in between a sea of wins is still a win to me esp considering everyone knows his foot and shoulder weakened him. we are gathering more elements for jae to feel regret over afterwards like the money craving comment
Also his opponent's team barged in literal moments before the match and lo and behold, he was injured ryt after.
Didnt it even register in his mind? Surely Dan is a suspect but those guys were just in the room
They had 15 minutes till the match an ch 51 is right after. Nobody has had time to think about wtf went down before the match. We'll have to wait for the next chapter for them to have some distance from the situation.
You have to check in on the day of matches. 15 minutes before the match is more than enough time for officials to interfere. You know people place bets on these matches all the time- considering how fans would react/ how infuriated sponsors would be if there is foul play a foot would never go unnoticed. There are even huge laws and code of ethics on athletes when it comes to games/matches/tournament etc etc. The sports officials would even have to check to make sure that an injury wasn’t self inflected in order to throw the match. You also can’t go into your opponents training area before a match I called that out. The ML has a duty to his fans/ the sport itself to report what happened because of all the above. Yes I understand this is fiction but the author is stretching this way too much.
A tie is still a win- that would mean his winning streak isn’t over because he. The author is creating new rules in sports- his winning streak would be over if he lost — but a tie means two winners….
Still the fact that the officials didn’t cancel the match or call foul play and notice how all of a sudden the ML foot is bleeding and it’s not a preexisting condition is so infuriating. I know the author is doing this to help push the plot but the ML should have won and then he kicks Doc to the curb and then he realized his feelings for the MC and tries to get him back ( because losing because the Doc is no longer around also doesn’t make sense because he was winning before Doc even came in the picture)
