Can u tell me how or why u came to this conclusion??
TLDR: 'cus Doha doesn't wanna leave Bada and finding the tape would mean Bada would still wanna finish the game ergo they'll be separated
I'm not good at explaining but basically, you know how at some point in s1 (prolly almost at the end, can't remember), it was revealed that Bada was initially an NPC then there was also that time where Doha expressed he'd rather continue playing the game cus if he leaves, that would mean Bada would be left behind.
After Seongchan hid Bada's tape, Doha promised to find it for him. Since he's a smart guy + w/ Seongchan's tendency to hide shi in plain sight, he prolly already found the tape already so why is he still not telling Bada and giving it to him then? Well, we know Doha has hidden a lot of things from Bada in the past cus again, he didn't want to leave him behind. I'm assuming he's also not telling Bada about it yet (if he actually has found the tape) because there's a high chance Bada would still wanna finish the game (or at least help Doha finish it or smthng) because he did promise he'll finish the game once he gets his tape back.
Also, Doha has just been looking so much more sus (main reason btw lol) ever since s2 kicked in + at the end of ch. 54 (again), Doha said, and I quote "I just can't be without you, Bada" which could carry double meaning. If you recall, in s1, Doha asked Bada not to leave him behind but later on during ch. 54 (again²), it was revealed that HE didn't want to leave Bada behind instead so ye that's why, hope it's understandable enough lol. I know I sound insane (and I probably am) but it's all just a theory anyway even if I did say my suspicions have been confirmed
It's a common theory that he's already found it and/or just hiding it from Bada. Even without all those "evidences" I presented, just look at his face by the end of ch. 61 lol, bro looks sus af. He has a pretty stiff face, I admit but that ominous shadow on his face does not lie
Oh yeah, ch 61 confirmed my suspicions. Doha 100% found Bada's tape already but even if he didn't yet, he wouldn't wanna use it so Bada could stay hdsjjsbs
