I can’t even.. Every single time I think Jaekyung is warming up to Dan, and being a nicer person, he just does another thing that makes me hate him. Dan was sort of annoying me too.. but I DO feel bad that Jaekyung rejected his present in that way. Like wth?? I wish I could just tell Dan to leave, but the only reason he’s put up with this crap so long is because of the money & he also feels indebited to Jaekyung for paying off his debt and some of his grandmother’s hospital bills.. I was thinking that hopefully Dan would actually leave like Jaekyung suggested, but unless his Grandmother dies, and it time skips a couple months, he’s not really in a financial position where he would just be able to leave like that.
To be completely honest, I sort of want this to end with Jaekyung realizing all of the abuse he’s been putting Dan through and being super regretful and then Dan just straight up rejects him. I would like to say I’m rooting for them to be together but.. Jaekyung is just so incredibly aggressive & aggravating that I am fully convinced that without some real growth from Jaekyung, even if they do get together by the end, Dan is still gonna get abused like this. I believe that they need some time apart if Jaekyung is gonna gain any emotional maturity.. even then.. I can’t really imagine Jaekyung as a good person.
They keep putting so much focus on the shoulder thing, that something is probably gonna happen there. Perhaps Jaekyung will injure his shoulder, and he’ll lash out at Dan and tell him to get lost. So he does. This manga will probably end the same way the Author’s other one did, with the “Top” spending some time apart from the “bottom” that they had been rude to every chapter, realizing how much he likes him, and then being super lovey dovey.
Or maybe Dan will run away after that fight, they just had, Jaekyung will step out only to come back to an empty apartment, time goes on, Jaekyung injures his shoulder in a match, loses the match, has to go through surgery, Jaekyung is no longer able to participate in matches and is forced to retire. They meet again years later. (I don’t think this is all that likely because Dan’s grandmother’s bills are still a factor.)
No offense to Dan’s grandmother, she seems like a sweet lady, but I hope she dies so Dan can just book it out of there.
Anyway, I hope this pleasantly surprises me and it doesn’t end the way I’m thinking it will.
