Dude's already suffering enough (≖、≖╬)
Got the title he spilled his blood, sweat & tears for stolen, that champion title was his pure hard work and not talent and that got stolen so easily by foul play & unlucky circumstances, the cherry on top, insomnia, nightmares and what not,
Spare the poor dude, he'll realize the wrong he did to dan & apologize in future

Ok Sora, I think you’re right. I totally see where you’re coming from. Also, I think it makes sense why it was so sad that he lost to Jumin especially now that we know he is from his past too! Also, the nightmares were of the dad. The more I think about it, I agree with you
I’m curious, what do you think Dan’s reaction will be to the story once it’s done?
I’m still not sure..

He'll be shocked most probably cuz he you've never imagined that jaekyung THE jaekyung came from those circumstances, cuz to him he must look flawless & amazing before, and then he might try to put 2 & 2 together and realize why jaekyung is the way he is, and might sympathize with him cuz their circumstances were similar, and might even respect him more after realizing just how hard her worked to reach there (even tho he's already seen him push himself)
Overall i think he'll pull himself together after listening to his story & might try helping him get his title back, i hope he doesn't forgive him too easily tho, helping him & forgiving him are two different things helping him is his job, and then as someone else pulled out a theory, after he wins the match while they're away, dan's grandma might die

As jaekyung kept denying his feeling for dan saying he needs him for winning, he might gloss them over again and focus on winning with Dan's help, and dan will do his job not forgiving jaekyung and not feeling anything for him, and when he wins and realizes just winning didn't fill that void & realizes he needs dan not just for winning cuz he likes him

Omg thanks for the great comment and your insights. I think you have had a good prediction on what’s going to happen. Not Grandma oh nooo, I think your right though :(!!
I also really hope he isn’t forgiven right away, yes, helping because he understands more isn’t the same as forgiveness. I hope Jaekyung still has a bit of a chase and redemption arc as Dan slowly opens up to him again.
How long do you think the flashback will last?
I sorta would like JJ to suffer in the present (sorry)
