Evaluating the recent chaper with respect to psychological vewipoint , I think jaekyung's "jinx" is not a jinx but "trauma" he suffered due to the death of his father (as he was unable to prove his worth/potential) both things simultaneously since he was young back then the shock made a way to a long-term impact on his "confidence/self esteem" (he won match before his father's death mean he has no jinx) his trauma surface up everytime he gets nervous it is also the cause of his insomnia, maybe after his father's death he somehow picked s*x to suppress anxiety (a coping mechanism to supress his trauma) indulging himself into that stuff because he can't drink as he is a athlete. People overcome traumatic incident if comforted and supported by others but I guess after his father's death jaekyung must have vanished from town and went to Seoul to avoid his father's fate (remember director said jaekyung never contacted to him after he went to Seoul).
(These are my thought though in Accord to how things going , let's see what happens)
The way he ran to home with the smile He brought that trophy held like a hope that will change his father mindset but...his father never got to see his son's potential. Jaekyung was born/raised deprived of love and that's why he don't understand love,I realised that the moment when Dan fell in love in affection gave him gift but jaekyung gave him a cold shoulder by throwing it away (because that's how he was treated by his father Always given him a cold shoulder) before jaekyung end up like his father and before the curse of his bloodline consume him I hope jaekyung realize it was not just worried he felt for Dan it was the love and fear of losing the his love one.
That neighborhood was the coal mine the director took out the diamond from and polished him into what he is today. Just like a diamond needs to be grinded to enhance it's beauty jaekyung's life and circumstances grind him enough to make him shine across the country. He promised to make lot of money to lift the poverty inorder to get the love and warmth he was deprived of,which he did he became rich but never got the love, I hope he realize Dan is the love is desperately wished is infront of him, I'm sure soon he will realize it.
What I love about the author is her plot pattern she used the "rubber band" strategy "pull the rubber band hard enough to increase it's impact when released" by all the physical and mental tension she made an impression of jaekyung that accumulated enough hate in S1 and now in S2 it was the time she use the hate to released the rubber band with jaekyung's back story to that really made a strong impact on everyone's viewpoint.
