Honestly? Ya’ll keep complaining about Jingi but lets be fr. He cares more about Myeongil than Heonjae does. Realistically, neither are good candidates for Myeongil, but if I had to chose, I’d go with Jingi.
And no, not because of his looks.
Jingi at first didn’t care for Myeongil, obviously. He was just a new toy. But gradually, he actually looked out for him. And in this most recent chapter when Jingi says “cell 2 is full”, it proves that those two are all he needs and cares about. He doesn’t need a new toy because Myeongil is around. And sure, it could be convenience. But would the old Jingi go out of his way to give his toys money, items, or space? That whole time while Myeongil and Jingi weren’t on speaking terms, Jingi never jumped on Myeongil, and I think that says a lot on how Jingi feels.
But Heonjae? He’s getting people, including his own brother, out of the picture for Myeongil. And Myeongil is right; Heonjae just needs someone who can love him unconditionally and he’s anxiously attached to Myeongil because he showed him kindness when no one else would. For the first time, someone who wasn’t Jingi, showed him similar feelings. It’s not quite love, but an obsession. A desire and craving for positive attention. And an emotional release. He’s found someone who can give him more than what Jingi has, despite Jingi accepting his role as Heonjae’s caretaker. And thus, Heonjae believes getting him out of the picture over an assumption is better than Myeongil’s own happiness. Heonjae didn’t even listen to Myeongil’s wants about the prizes and assumed the best prize was the best option.
Oh and let’s not forget he took the opportunity to confess while he allowed Jingi to walk into danger. Into a place Heonjae fully knew could get his closest ally (aside from Myeongil) killed.
Heonjae’s fear of never seeing Myeongil again isn’t anything romantically motivated, but simply a fear of abandonment. A fear of losing the person that can show him positivity and is an easy lay. Not because it is Myeongil. If we’re being real here, it could’ve been anyone as long as the gave him that same basic human decency.
Sorry for the yap fest but I truly think there’s something deeper with Jingi and there’s hints and development behind his character in comparison to Heonjae who is progressively getting worse. I hope we get to see more of Jingi’s thoughts and how he’ll progress!!
Hello I’m doing a little survey on Hikikomori and manga, and I need responses from manga readers! That is why I’m posting it on comment sections. Your contribution will greatly help my study! And if you’re interested to know more about it you can dm me! Also it is completely anonymous! I’m doing this study very passionately as it comes from my own personal experience it’s not just to submit my thesis at the end! I’ve been working on this for 3 years! Your help will be really appreciated! here is the link (it’s safe and legit) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfEsHtOEhyUfUQTQwa166Z1yhop9DQ2dlqRfJ-HffF8KuP99Q/viewform?usp=header
I've been at this since the very beginning, and I guess today i remembered it after 2 years.
it was a n interesting read for sure.
Am I the only that’s worried at how frail Andrew is starting to look, not physically but like it seems the more we delve into the chapters the more I see beyond his bravado and his eyes hold a certain shade of sadness like he’s never fully there…….like if you don’t watch him close enough he’ll simply drift off like air…..I think it may just be me being too sensitive or something, but I know I’m kinda troubled by that look. I wish to avoid any heartbreak of misunderstanding scene please.
I was in 3 chapters when I realised I've seen this plot somewhere, i just didn't realise where.
I've already watched the Kdrama for this xD
Just read the author's note for season 1. Kind of spoilers I guess, but not really much spoilers to the story (except for some of my inputs).
.

.

Ahahha I'm a bit surprised, I think the author is a man since their cartoon persona which is a slab of meat has a beard.
---------------------------------------------
Anyways, so they said Season 1 was really long but Season 2 and 3 will be made shorter if they can help it.
---------------------------------------------
The names Jingi and Myeonggi was spontaneously made from playing a Sims game at a friend's house.
And Heonjae's name is a wordplay with the meaning of "today" to be the opposite of Myeong-il's name meaning "tomorrow" (obvi in the Korean language of course).
---------------------------------------------
Myeong-il started smoking since middle school. Myeong-il insists he can still date women.
---------------------------------------------
Confirmed Jingi and Heonjae biologically came from the same mother and father (so it's confirmed that they're not half-brothers or anything.)
---------------------------------------------
Question:
"Doesn't Jingi care that there's a 10-year age gap between him and Myeong-il? Doesn't that make Jingi a cradle-snatcher?"
----------------------
Answer:
"Just to the extent Jingi thinks 'He's just a kid/brat'...? That's about it!
I guess that's the reason why he's in prison."
(bruh, author, that is one dark joke considering the finale reveal.)
(Unless... that's actually a low-key fact? I mean, could Jingi have been framed and imprisoned for those crimes related to the children? Which were actually crimes by the Uncle? So that actually IS the reason Jingi is in prison? Even your jokes have some clues in them, author).
(Also, low-key had this question in mind too with the 10-year age gap, cuz of the recent reveal of the issue we're addressing with adults and young children, but I thought, "Nah, Myeong-il is nearly 30. Myeong-il can and should be responsible for all his choices now as an adult. Doesn't matter how much younger he is than Jingi at this point".
So, Jingi acknowledges how much younger Myeong-il is, but Myeong-il can definitely no longer be considered a child at all in his age XDD But maybe with his elementary-level spelling he can be considered a child, lol.
Plus, Myeong-il doesn't even treat Jingi any older than himself and doesn't give him the respect that elders are usually given in Korea, so Myeong-il calls Heonjae "hyung" but not to Jingi.)
---------------------------------------------
Driving styles of all three:
----------------------
Heonjae: So scared that he doesn't drive or just drives really slow.
Myeong-il: Rough driving and doesn't have a driver's license.
Jingi: Drives so smoothly that it prevents carsickness.
----------------------
(Basically my interpretation of what those driving styles mean for them:
----------------------
Heonjae: Anxious, scared, and overly sensitive.
Myeong-il: Reckless, rule-breaking, and adaptive.
Jingi: Controlled, composed, reliable and mature.)
---------------------------------------------
A Japanese fan asks :
----------------------
"What is the red soup that was in *Myeonggi's* [not sure if I'm translating this right, but the big bear man's] high school lunch? Was it red broth?"
(The Japanese fan probably mistranslated the name Heonjae and mixed it up with the name Myeonggi since they can both mean "bright day/future" and "current day" (again idk how in those languages)).
Anyway, the author's answer was kimchi mixed into water and rice. It's a quick, cheap meal when there's nothing to eat at home. (bruhh that makes Heonjae sound so dirt-poor if he only eats stuff like that, and he's such a large fellow too, but just eats cheap rice and water meals).
So Mincheol took out Loans in Her name right? which is why she's working to clear the debt. But he divorced her so that the debt on his name shouldn't become her burden?? is that it??
Look the dude always made me feel uneasy. It's progressively worsening. My fight or flight is kicking in, he give me the same vibe i was getting while reading Killing Stalking. I feel sick.
the lovely person who translated the season finale, kinda aligning w my fight or flight.
Boys, be nice, play nicely. They have communication issues but honestly they should all stfu and listen to Chanseol. Juwon especially doesn't understand how horny my guy is.
Me: oh the cover art is giving very.....full volume!
*scrolls down*
"the author of full volume"
DUDE i speed ran till the main story end I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT PLOT TWIST AT THE END DNDNDNNDNDND
Why are people following me
Kids be using the term fetish so loosely when what they're thinking of is actually just a kink
Like my kinks:
Consensual loving sex
That shits hot
Random gay couple on the street? I could give less than a fuck
Those are people
They aren't fuel for some sex fantasy
I only like my 2d boys in healthy relationships
Or some spicy art
Cause why tf not?
Im still a type of asexual but I still appreciate art and can use shit as reference for what I want to do with my partner or as drawing inspos for my own OCs
(That and as an ace comics are a safe space for me to further explore my sexuality without triggering my PTSD- ayyyyy - why no girls mostly too- I am getting over that trauma in Therapy - but it's a process)
Real people?
Miss me with that shit
Unless you're my boo you're not even a thought dude
I love how the first few panels, man was like having the hardest Fanboy, unbelievable blush. They're so disgustingly adorable. love it.
So Garkian died 10 years ago, before the Yuther came back in time?
