the painful backstory I wanted. but damn this shit got hands. from that little skrunkly thing (affectionate), to that smaller version of his present self. he worked so hard for everything he has. no matter what mingwa decides, I don’t want to ever see jae losing all he built. if he ever leaves the UFC it’s on his own volition.
now we’ve already established that backstories are for nuance. like this is the part where you empathize. so that’s what I’m doing. the trauma. he tells his alcoholic father that he can die, and that’s exactly what the man does. all he wanted to do was show his dad his trophy after the match and he dies. at that point it seems purposeful, since fuck ass dad said he’ll die before he see’s shit. and you know what. for everything his dad was, jaekyung never swung back. he only pushed him away in the chapter.
also jae’s ears. they aren’t cauliflower ears. and then jumin, that fuckass gremlin. when he and jae met up pre-match he said “are you gonna cry like a little baby when you lose?”.. does that mean he made jk cry when he was younger? what if he’s responsible for the ears? ughhhhhhh I hate it. i hate the thought of having to see that. and then the jinx. who made him have the fuckin sex jinx?!
like i’m loving the information being given. but I also miss them. I miss kyungdan. I miss dan in general. I want to know dan's thoughts on all this. i hope we get a dan care for sick jae moment. I still feel like there’s much backstory to go, and maybe it sums up from the coach's POV next chapter. even so, I want to let this marinate. see y’all later when we're at 76 ...maybe
