That’s the first time I’ve seen Jaekyung smile in… a while. He only smiles like that when he’s bullying Dan, which isn’t great… But it shows us that Dan is one of the only people that can make him smile. Actually, I can’t even think of a time he’s smiled without Dan being the cause.
I get it, I really do, but when you’re reading yaoi (and a silly one like this), are we really going to rage about morals? It’s already so far from reality and, in this fictional universe, Garam and Jaehyuk have agreed to this weird relationship. When Garam stops the relationship, Jaehyuk stops touching him. We know Jaehyuk is not violent, he’s just stupid and has no boundaries. Garam is feisty and smart. He knows how to make Jaehyuk stop, and they do level with each other whenever one gets serious. It’s been like this forever, each character is operating exactly as expected.
Sobbing. It’s so raunchy but really lays on the feelings in between. How? How is such a thing possible? It’s so ridiculous but I cannot stop.
In the raws, Jae-shin’s brothers are concerned about how Lee Nok will feel after Jae-shin returns to the underworld, saying, “Well… I guess out of sight, out of mind…” and Jae-shin replied, “Why did he have to be out of sight? I’m taking him with me.” Broooo Nok will haaate that
come to the comment section to enjoy the love for this only to encounter hate for jinx if we wanna throw another jae into the mix, lets talk about ghosts nocturne! jk. jaehyuk and garam are my chill couple. plunge into darkness with jinx, rinse with cts and jump into a cloud with gn.
just read an analysis by bebebisous33 mirroring my own thoughts: the shake and the jinx, and jaekyung’s desperation in isolation. jaekyung is indeed out of control and violent but looking at the actions of those around him, they weren’t considerate of him either. namwook and that jesus dude (forgot his name) knew jaekyung has a short temper and put him on a pedestal he cannot leave. everyone else below him can go enjoy their lives, but jaekyung is expected to go through this intense training to prove himself because of a media attack on his career. instead of encouragement, everyone is full of apprehension which puts jaekyung on the defensive: he must prove to the world and to his team that he is a champion. he’s not fighting them directly, but he’s shouldering their intense scrutiny. on top of that, everyone who has come along is supposed to be supporting him but none of them go through the dehydration phase with him, none of them encourage him or tell him they’re impressed by his stamina/whatever. in fact, they are all scared of him, expecting him to blow up, pity him in his struggle, or yell at him for letting his frustration out inappropriately. they all go shopping, eat junk food behind his back, and gather without inviting him to join. he’s like a tall tree in a hurricane, with all the other trees using numbers to survive while he’s expected to stand alone. im not saying to feel bad for him, but rather to look at it from all sides: these guys, all of them, like jaekyung for whatever reason. they know enough about him to understand that being scared of him and sneaking behind his back upsets him and there all aware that he’s touchy in the first place. they could’ve been more empathetic if they wanted a different reaction from him. specifically namwook: everyone looks to him for guidance and leadership and he doesn’t tell everyone to encourage jaekyung, he tells dan to be patient, tells the other guys to stop whining, and tells jaekyung to say please and thank you. so jaekyung is supposed to be thankful for everyone putting up with what they are expecting will be bad behavior instead of…talking to jaekyung, involving him in group activities, and reassuring him that they are there to support him.
my prediction is that jaekyung will be ultrasuperhyperviolently pissed off about dan’s condition possibly interfering with their jinx ritual, but i think he’ll learn something important about his jinx and then i think he’ll care for dan. they probably will have sex because of the aphrodisiac, but i don’t think it’ll be the forceful event you’re imagining since dan is drugged anyway. and perhaps jaekyung is against having sex with someone who’s drugged and will refuse to touch him. i do think he’ll win the match though.
on the other hand… jaekyung could lose the match and blame dan’s weak body and then shit will hit the fan… but i hope not.
Guys hear me out…
The guy with the shake was apparently Korean… why was that important? And the shake was meant for Jaekyung with the classic bl/yaoi symptoms of an aphrodisiac. The person, who’s Korean, is trying to mess up Jaekyung’s match using an aphrodisiac… and is probably the same person who caused this “Jinx” in the first place!
Guys… Why does that poison have the symptoms of an aphrodisiac…!? Please god let that not be so
hearing Dan’s inner thoughts about his crush on Jaekyung was so annoying. seeing Jaekyung flip out on everyone (as expected) was also annoying. i guess i understand why this filler episode exists, but it felt like a waste. it would’ve been nice to see inside Jaekyung’s head for a change. or literally anyone else. i guess Dan’s grandma is still kicking because he’s gotta go tell her he’s leaving the country, but how even is she? no updates on her condition, not a glimpse of the night between Heesung and Yoon Gu, despite YG being briefly mentioned, no change in Jaekyung’s physique at all….
sigh… guess it’ll be another 2 weeks.
Reading this sent me spiraling. My god… I can’t read it until there are at least ten more chapters. It’s too upsetting…
Jaekyung is reflecting on his actions!? Wow. I want a glimpse inside him to see the shame.
Which instantly dissolves into outrage. I hope he calls Mr. Park right away to unload because someone might die. I hope Dan is sleeping. If Jaekyung starts breaking things, I hope he keeps sleeping lol.
I don’t know why he even wants to go home so badly. He’s always in the human realm anyway for his yin juice. He can’t quit
So we’re in regression now… deep in regression. Jaekyung, I swear… has he gone completely insane?! I’m feeling suspicious of those Heesung house pictures now because of the way he reacted. He was genuinely disturbed. I’M genuinely disturbed! How will Dan get away from Jaekyung?!
Side note: Jaekyung is such a manchild, ignoring Dan at work.
Even though I’m just in for endless pain… I still want to know if Jiwook ever gets a happy ending.
The only happy ending would be Pei dying. I know he won’t, but if there are alternate universes, he probably dies in every other one. I wanna read THAT story.
