It makes so much sense that Sir Mío didn’t follow Ash.
The hopeless romantic in us is heartbroken, but that’s why we all liked Sir Mío. He was level headed amongst all the crazy suitors. It would have been surprising and out of character if he left.
He loves her and would have proposed if she stayed, but he couldn’t leave. He would have been miserable if he left just as she was miserable in that world. She couldn’t stay and he couldn’t leave.

We’re starting to see why his kink came to be. He likes seeing his partner be with other people because he likes the validation of his partner always choosing him. There also seems to be trauma, I’m suspecting his parents showcasing a toxic relationship with cheating and separating. One of the images they showed when they talked about how the relationship always ends the same, he looked like he was in high school, so I don’t think he was cheated on.
If they erase the kink by clearing his trauma in the future I’ll be disappointed.

This last few chapters feel like they were flying through, going through the motions of events. It feels rushed but I’m assuming it was done to cause confusion. If they flesh out season 2 and explain the gaps, it will improve the story. If they don’t, this story will be mid.
My assumption: detective is faking his death. He mentioned how mc jumped off the platform in previous chapter when he was younger. Anyway, detective’s death will scare the mc, and I’m assuming mc will be kidnapped on his birthday after an altercation with ML. ML will rescue mc in monster form and mc will have confirmation.

Complete speculation, but the foreshadowing is leading in this direction:
I’m wondering if those kids “sold” all the leftover drugs to Jaewyoong on a “loan” or they may already have a history of selling to him on a loan. Remember they get a bonus if they sold it all by tomorrow. They knew Jaekyung’s dad would O.D (or would eventually) because it’s a whooooole lot of drugs.
Then his ex-teammates are gonna go to Jaekyung because he’s honest and say “hey, 1st place…. You owe us some money, pay up or work for us to pay it off….” Jaekyung will then be forced to make a choice in his grief…

Oh, hahah. I was trying to not give away all my speculation because I have some ideas that aren’t fully fleshed out.
I don’t think he’ll do drug runs. He’s going to use up all his prize money, but he’ll be short. Competition money isn’t drug money, not with all those vials and syringes. Or maybe it is, but I seriously doubt it. JK will be obsessed with winning to make prize money, pay a debt and support himself. It’s also not cheap to bury, cremate etc a person, his prize money might be depleted that way.
I feel like he’ll end up living with the old man eventually. That’s why they’ll end up even more alike. He’ll help him with that debt somehow, probably by living together or maybe with cremation costs.
I imagine JK will be struggling to sleep the night before a competition, plagued by his father’s jinx. “He’ll only win when he dies”. He’ll lose comps. So he fudges the memory away the night before, is able to sleep and wins a comp. He re-writes his jinx. I’m still working on this theory….
Plus, Jaekyung is disgusted by his dad’s addiction. I can’t imagine him actually trying drugs.

Any theory with Junmin(the baldy)?!
Because when they met second time, Jumin mentioned Jaekyung's crying and Jaekyung said " he should've killed him right there", when he finally remembered the baldy.
I'm curious about sexual part of Jinx?! Where it comes from? Was it alternative to the drugs that he tried or offered by thugs (I'm still on it lol, I know, don't judge me hehe). I mean he didn't decide to have sex randomly to relieve stress out nowhere... so what was the cataclysm?! Dad?(i don't think so, cus he won 1st place, not 2nd or 3rd) drugs?! Fighting underground mma?( remember also, Jumin's upbringing was not legalize fights and he is super good at it too). He need to loose "something" for jinx to work. What is it?! Lol

I know everyone is like the angst and grooming…. But what Tennessee pulled on Riker/Amber wasn’t to lead him on. It was manipulation. He wanted Riker/Amber to leave and not come back. A way for T to draw a line and make R reflect and feel accountable.
He gave him an “option” to get over his feelings or leave. In reality, he wanted R to not come by after the confession. No one would have been able to push away their crush even if they said they were going to get over their feelings. It’s too quick. It’s also very difficult/impossible for R to get over his feelings if he’s around his crush. I think T knows this.
Their precarious situation only worked because the R never confessed. I’m betting Tennessee is going to move without telling him and we’ll have a time skip.
Riker/Amber is a symbol to T of the good he has done. Which is why he sleeps better when he’s around. It’s not love, he doesn’t love the kid. But I bet he knew R harbored feelings.
(This is all my speculation…..)

You explained this so well! I’m getting a tad bit annoyed with all the comments stating Tennessee groomed Amber… and honestly, we’ve seen that Amber has a dark, twisted side which hasn’t been fully revealed. I so see him saying ‘fuck this’ and pouncing on Tennessee. I think Amber is going to be the possessive crazy kind of character type.

Mokyeon is super relatable in this chapter. Some of you are thinking only about the action, but what Mokyeon was doing is the classic “I want you to hurt as badly as I am hurting.” It took the shape of brutal schmeck in his imagination, BECAUSE Mokyeon would cope with his hurt feelings with brutal schmeck. (Remember how he was the sadist in all his interactions before Nanjo…)
Mokie didn’t want to hurt Nanjo so he let him go. Since he didn’t have an outlet to hurt someone else, he decides to hurt himself. He is self destructing rn. He goes to his fwb’s birthday party (a source of his pain): sits next to fwb, chugs straight alcohol, tears the earring out and gives it to fwb all without flinching.
As someone else said, Mokie is just a super sensitive soft boy despite his appearance. The complete opposite of the twink.
Andrew is hilarious! Honestly that one line was gold. I laughed so hard at it. Luke’s social skills are top tier but his refusal to admit who knew hurt.
Which line
