surprise! ch 49 raw summary

Sooooo I THOUGHT the next chapter wasn't gonna be out til 5/11, but looks like it came out today instead so here we go (I assume this is when the new 10-day schedule starts). No sex in this one, we're getting ramped up to some more plot and drama instead!!


SPOILERS BELOW


After Taeseung leaves the house Sooyoung gets a call from Donghyun asking where he's been and when he hears SY's hoarse voice and SY stumbling out of bed he asks if he should call later (about visiting the construction site). Meanwhile SY sees a note from TS (reads 'I'm returning back to you') with the coin that SY gave him and tells DH that it's fine and that he's leaving now. His inner monologue says that he's putting his trust in TS and that he'll be back soon without getting hurt.

Cut to TS meeting up with Sangchul. SC reports that Kang Il has been moved (probs dead) and that he wants to live a quiet life from now on. He hopes TS doesn't regret this considering him and Kang-Il used to be friends. TS responds that there had to be consequences for his actions and doesn't understand why SC is feeling uneasy about it. SC then says that whenever SY is involved it seems like TS always ends things in a bloodbath without even realizing it. He then asks if SY is truly just TS's 'dog' and if TS is more concerned about SY than he is about himself. The next couple of panels I couldn't fully translate — something about the status of an organization ran by a Park Sanbaek and then TS telling SC to get rid of the body (Kang Il's?). TS also mentions that Yawon's visit wasn't just because she missed TS or SC, there's definitely more to it and that things are def heating up, and then some dialogue about knowing who the mole is (I THINK) and that TS wants SC to deal with it. Before SC can respond TS gets a call and we cut back to SY and DH.

SY and DH are at the construction site to look for Jihoon (the missing host that was choked to death by the senator dude) and DH notices that SY looks a bit beat up after seeing TS last night and thinks that he should definitely tell SY what he knows about TS soon. As they get further into the site they notice a trap door underneath a container and DH says there's gotta be something hiding underneath, possibly drugs. SY starts feeling uneasy and thinks about TS telling him he wasn't hiding anything, and gets frustrated when he remembers TS's surprised expression and that TS still won't tell him anything. Once SY and DH open the trap door they see the suitcase and DH immediately notices a horrible smell coming from it and some hair sticking out.

Before they can do anymore investigating the senator dude appears and they end up having to hide behind the containers. The next few panels is just the senator asking about the status of the body and also ranting about the Mayor's dealings with his own group of gangsters (Taeseung) and expressing a lot of animosity toward him and wanting to fuck him over. Then as things get quiet Donghyun wonders if the crowd is gone only to get caught in the end by one of the bodyguards.

Yo Sooyoung is literally a danger magnet I CANNOT. Literally everytime he says "I'll be safe" he ends up getting caught up in shit like this my poor bby. My prediction on how he'll get out of this is he'll be taken hostage but saved by Minhyuk who has footage of himself fucking the senator that he could use as blackmail if the senator doesn't let SY go OR Taeseung is already on his way to the construction site and will save SY before any bad shit goes down. Side note: I'm really enjoying the SY/DH camaraderie and hope it becomes an actual friendship and that DH gets more screentime (preferably with Minhyuk)
