Jihwa might be at a fork in lifes' road? One will take him to his death at the hand of an enraged Seungho. The other will take him to a relationship with the hot street performer. Just my 2 bits :)
I don't recall his friend doing anything bad to him -- Mr Cat isn't jealous? (Though I don't really think so. Maybe something Mr Cat misunderstood.) As is, the story has another 45 chapters or so -- I'm looking forward to the story unfolding!
Learned turd never learns anything, really. Seongho plays him like a fiddle & he doesn't even get it.
