Yapping Part 16 (Final)

Chapter 67: In Chapter 65 when Sangwoo was behind the glasses of his delusion, he was at his emotionally vulnerable yet physically healthy. The chapter portrayed how he was convinced that he could survive without Bum—a stability—as he had been doing back when he was on his killing spree. But in Chapter 67, the grandma, who unknowingly killed Sangwoo (*sniff *sniff), said that he kept calling out for Bum. Sangwoo was both emotionally and physically vulnerable here. The interesting part was the fact that he was probably unconscious and in a lot of pain the whole time but still called out for Bum. The only emotions that could drive that kind of determination was either pure hatred, or profound dependency towards Bum (dependency can lead to love in some cases, but this manhwa is probably not it).

The way I see it based on the ending, it weighs more on the latter. He called for Bum at his most vulnerable because at the end, even after failing to escape from his trauma, Bum persisted as the only true stability and warmth to him. His and Bum's feelings were mutual. Both of them were so dependent on each other in every sort of way. Sangwoo cried for Bum even on his deathbed while Bum chased after Sangwoo to his death (both figuratively and literally). At the end, they both fulfilled their promises to love (“only have sex with each other until they die” but that sounds unromantic) and die together. It was their own very “happy” ending.
