even though this chapter is seemingly very romantic and it seems like a lot of readers just read it that way (?) i thought there also was this off-ness with brett where hayden seemed really into the date but brett was (understandably) more detached/numb and processing things much more passively than usual. imo it's impressive that the author was able to convey this sense of disquiet!
hayden's belief that the boundaries bw fantasy and reality are very blurry is SOOO LIBERAL ARTS like hello were you my classmate..being with hayden is definitely a kind of escape for brett and the fantasy is both real but also kind of fake since we know that hayden is actually being kept in the dark re. everything that has been happening. like we get these pockets of romantic fantasy every time hayden adn brett meet up but we know they are not actually on the same wavelength
brett musing about what hayden has given him when hayden gave him a safeword..in the past brett preferred that things were out of his control/hayden acted unpredictably bc that's what represented freedom was for brett but now imo he's realizing that hayden gave him freedom through CHOICE (via safeword) - i think that's kind of the beginning of a real paradigm switch for brett. but there's still a whole host of issues to contend with between them (including hayden's overly romanticized version of events, still). a real calm before the storm-type chapter.
so real..i'm excited to see more of sunbae's personality beyond happy himbo
yes, those were goons hired by the politician to intimidate brett against testifying in court (bc brett promised to testify on behalf of the shooter and talk about how the shooter had been driven to shoot bc he had been bullied by the politician's son). there will be some more details of what went down in later chapters!
brett kisses the police essentially to say - here's my dna; you can investigate if you want, but there's no way you can share the details with anyone else because you'll have to explain why the dna is on your lips. essentially brett is making sure that any investigation stays private (he really doesn't want anyone else knowing what happened and any media attention)
so typical of brett that he knew he was being targeted by powerful people this whole time, and also how he's repressed and scarily hyper rational as always :(( looking forward to the day brett is just allowed to FEEL and be vulnerable instead of constantly being on guard and calculating next steps!!!???
the juxtaposition between the fairytale timeline of hayden looking forward to their date and brett literally going through TRAUMA is so crazy and is such a consistent theme throughout this season (brett involved in high risk manipulations in politics/dealings with the police vs hayden in his straightforward romance story). LOVE the way the author pulls the contrast off bc it really hones in just HOW different brett and hayden are in the worlds they live in and how they operate.
You explain things perfectly
Keep it up ε=ε= (●'◡'●)
I love ppl like you bb
Thank you!!! When you say there will more details of what went down do you mean between the shooter and the bully

Guwon threw up because he was actually super nervous about kissing teach. and then he's like "score i pulled that off so well" let's just go with that...yea? yea???!!
