Just a few chapters ago, Dr. Seok was already flagged by the higher ups as untrustworthy and suspicious. Then, just one chapter ago, we find out that the First Master ordered to kill Dr. Oh on ‘grounds of rebel activity’. Right after hearing that, Kwak sees the code in Dr. Seok and him trying to contact Eden. Of course he is scared and pissed at Seokhwa. Scared that Dr. Seok will be killed like Dr. Oh and pissed because he works for Eden after we saw how fucked they are/still trying to do stuff after explicitly being told to keep it down. He is supposed to tell higher ups and execute him, but he doesn’t. Instead he is keeping it low and just brings Seokwa for detention.
His loyalty is not to Rainbow City and you could tell by his disdain towards the higher ups and from his background. He is literally abusing his power to SAVE Seokhwa. Even when he thinks he is working with Eden.
If he left Seokhwa be (in other words, turning a blind eye AGAIN), he would’ve been killed!!! Especially when the tension is rising between rebels and Rainbow City’s masters. Then there’s beef between masters themselves. It was only a matter of time before Dr. Seok would’ve been found out, so being found out by Kwak was THE best case scenario.
Reading some of the comments I feel like people just skip the dialogue and not understand what’s happening in the manhwa.
Major Kwak is doing the best he can in the current situation.
