Or possibility that he won the prize and the money(remember it was a sign with money prizes)=he devastated with dad death=to calm his spinning mind(dad words)=drugs
Oh, hahah. I was trying to not give away all my speculation because I have some ideas that aren’t fully fleshed out.
I don’t think he’ll do drug runs. He’s going to use up all his prize money, but he’ll be short. Competition money isn’t drug money, not with all those vials and syringes. Or maybe it is, but I seriously doubt it. JK will be obsessed with winning to make prize money, pay a debt and support himself. It’s also not cheap to bury, cremate etc a person, his prize money might be depleted that way.
I feel like he’ll end up living with the old man eventually. That’s why they’ll end up even more alike. He’ll help him with that debt somehow, probably by living together or maybe with cremation costs.
I imagine JK will be struggling to sleep the night before a competition, plagued by his father’s jinx. “He’ll only win when he dies”. He’ll lose comps. So he fudges the memory away the night before, is able to sleep and wins a comp. He re-writes his jinx. I’m still working on this theory….
Plus, Jaekyung is disgusted by his dad’s addiction. I can’t imagine him actually trying drugs.
Any theory with Junmin(the baldy)?!
Because when they met second time, Jumin mentioned Jaekyung's crying and Jaekyung said " he should've killed him right there", when he finally remembered the baldy.
I'm curious about sexual part of Jinx?! Where it comes from? Was it alternative to the drugs that he tried or offered by thugs (I'm still on it lol, I know, don't judge me hehe). I mean he didn't decide to have sex randomly to relieve stress out nowhere... so what was the cataclysm?! Dad?(i don't think so, cus he won 1st place, not 2nd or 3rd) drugs?! Fighting underground mma?( remember also, Jumin's upbringing was not legalize fights and he is super good at it too). He need to loose "something" for jinx to work. What is it?! Lol
Complete speculation, but the foreshadowing is leading in this direction:
I’m wondering if those kids “sold” all the leftover drugs to Jaewyoong on a “loan” or they may already have a history of selling to him on a loan. Remember they get a bonus if they sold it all by tomorrow. They knew Jaekyung’s dad would O.D (or would eventually) because it’s a whooooole lot of drugs.
Then his ex-teammates are gonna go to Jaekyung because he’s honest and say “hey, 1st place…. You owe us some money, pay up or work for us to pay it off….” Jaekyung will then be forced to make a choice in his grief…
