I don't think he meant to report them but give mop head a reason to never return because he told him he still had feelings for him and can't bear to be around him anymore.
He cried when he couldn't even answer the question about their names from the police.
I truly hope we'll get more context and some clarity between them in S2.
I think he's conflicted about mop head but can't deny his feelings. I thought the last chapter was heartbreaking.
Mc went back to school in Seol and said goodbye to his grandma that he'll return soon.
So I guess we get 1 year time skip, hopefully not longer.
Also unsure about the changed school uniform, I'm excited to see if we get more story on the mainland or return to the island setting.
We'll see!
Yep, I agree.
1st it's a way for him to heal, go against his feelings, do the "good thing", be strong.
2nd he knows that he likes him and he isn't supposed to like him so he makes it so mop head never comes back.
3rd on the narrative side it's a beautiful way used by the author to show that at the end of the day, he fell for someone that he didn't even know.
YESS you summarized this so much better than me!
Especially on your third point, the way we could only see the tears streaming down his face when he said he didn't know their names.
Spoiler
Today is the last chapter of season 1. After they slept together uke passed out. When he woke up mop head, the blonde gangster and the other guy disappeared. Uke went to the police station and reported them. He told the police that he saw him killing a person.
In the end uke is wearing a school uniform but I didn't understand well if he is going to school in the island or in seoul.
Personal opinion: Mop head and other guys were good with uke. They helped grandma that night, took him in their house, also mop head helped his grandma when she needed help with the roof. They gave him books to study. And mop head helped him to know that she is his real grandma. And even though he found out their basement they still let him live. I mean someone else maybe would have killed him. That's why I think he should have waited and maybe one day he will found out the real reason instead of reporting them so quickly. What do you think?
