I’d say he’s always been made to feel like a loser therefore he needs to feel like a “winner” before his match? Like he has the ultimate upper hand and that he’s in full control ? Since he isn’t particularly talented, his Jinx is an irrational attempt at controlling something he knows deep down he can’t control? Maybe that’s why he keeps on telling Dan not to interrupt the flow ? He has the winner diet, the winner penthouse, the winner team but he lacked the winner’s sex ? It is after all an area of his life that isn’t well developed. Or maybe LOL he’s visualising the match in his head as he’s fucking Dan ?? And that’s why he’s so rough ? Because he gets lost in his head ? LMAO each thrust is a punch? Hahaha. Honestly I think his roughness can be attributed to a lack of sex ed. When the gay doctor came to examine Kim Dan he told him to kiss him sometimes and he eventually did. He told Dan he wasn’t good at foreplay and remember their relationship started as a transaction, not a normal romantic relationship or even a casual hookup. And Kim Dan said he did it before so he imagined him to be like the hookers he used to experience. It still isn’t normal behaviour though. Also he’s an athlete, they tend to have a huge sexual appetite and to be into some weird shit. Idk I hope Mingwa has a good explanation since she titled the damn thing “jinx”
i agree w the upperhand statement. i dont think his dad saying "ill die before you win anything" & actually dying wouldve happened if it didnt have anything to do w it. i think he might feel like he was cursed by him? but i also dont see how it would tie into his sexual life:/. like you said it might have to do w him wanting to control the uncontrollable. therefor the wins. by extension, sex and such. this is a good take & does seem possible. but yeah i do hope she has a good explanation too bc i hope its like more than something so seemingly simple since it kinda did take over his life you know?
im glad we ALL forgot the title of the story. the fuckin jinx. i gotta reread everything now to see if i can piece together what the origin might be. thoughts & theories?
