ch 54 raw summary

arcticxs June 30, 2021 3:11 pm

tl;dr - Yawon makes the decision to cut ties with TS's gang, MH gives SY the documents he's looking for even though SY still doesn't remember anything, and MH convinces SY to run away with him, only for that plan to be foiled as SY finally reunites with TS at the train station.

---

We start off in Yawon's compound — her members talking about how the balance of the gang factions is tipping over now that Zhou Yu Long is back in Korea and that Yawon needs to reconsider her ties with Taeseung's gang. Yawon's brother comes in and suggests that they need to cut off relations w/ TS and essentially leave his gang in the dust. Yawon isn't keen on this idea but eventually agrees. (Side note: Yawon and her girl remind me of TS/SY lol)

Cutting back to Sooyoung and Minhyuk — SY is tending to MH's wound and thinks about how he can't remember any events since being in the hospital, and even then he can't recall the person who was with him. When MH grabs his arm SY feels that his sensation is familiar, and pushes MH away telling him that he's trying to remember something. MH then reaches over SY to grab an envelope and tells SY that it's what he's been looking for — it's full of court documents that point to corruption, and explains that once SY is able to remember everything he'll understand what's inside. Then he asks SY if he remembers where he was, or if he just has no memory of a specific person. SY replies that maybe his memory will be back soon, and MH tells him to keep the documents for when his memory is back. Then he changes topics and tells SY about their current situation. MH tells SY about Zhou Yu Long's faction (Kowloon/Hong Kong) and how their goal is to get rid of the Snakes (TS's group) and MH had to take down the senator and Mayor Kim to protect the organization (I think he's still hiding the fact that he's a mole to SY). SY vaguely remembers the senator and MH reaffirms that yes, he's the guy who tried to kill you. Then he tells SY that it's still dangerous for him because now that senator Jeong is gone the balance will be broken and it'll tip towards ZYL and his group, possibly causing a mass exodus from TS's faction. MH finally tells SY that TS's group can't protect SY, and SY can't even protect himself, so he asks SY to run away with him because he can protect him. SY is hesitant but agrees, and MH jokes that this is like a lovers escape, especially because he's running away with a handsome man (SY replies there's nothing handsome about his busted face).

Now we cut to the train station. MH tells SY that he knows they're probably being tracked so he needs to buy two tickets — one under his credit card as a diversion, and another in cash that they'll be using to escape. He tells SY to stay put and he'll be back. SY being SY obviously does not listen and thinks that he should get MH something to drink from the vending machine. As he walks over he notices the 500won coin and once he picks it up he sees Taeseung in front of him. When TS calls his name SY begins to recall the sound of his voice, his face -- and he feels memories from a certain time flooding back. Chapter ends with SY unable to discern TS's expression upon seeing him again. (honestly the last part was kind of vague so I could be wrong on this -- someone correct me if so)

---

First of all, YAWON!! I love boss babes and she does not mess. Next I gotta say, I kinda had a feeling the author was going to use the 500w coin to bring them back together, but I'm not mad. Although SY still isn't guaranteed to have all his memories back (he could be remembering TS from their high school days and not when they're lovers) so that's more drama to be explored. Also Minhyuk is definitely gonna get a rude awakening next chap when he comes back and gets caught by TS. I can see him being kept alive (but probs tortured) to get as much info as possible out of him about ZYL/what he did to SY. Until next chap!

    I have so much mix feelings about this like one part of me really just want more about this gangster stuff I want to understand more to it how did it all started what did minhyuk did to become the mole why did he become the mole other part just want to drop it the story I don't even care for sooyoung and taesung love anymore it clear as day that they are going to be together this author wanted a love gangster Love story but she fail at that by filling up half of it with so much unnecessary shit. FYI thanks for the translation(▰˘◡˘▰)

    First thank you for the summary. Absolutely perfect. I think Minkyuk will manage to escape. Kill him so soon? It is one of the main pg. If he dies then what are we talking about? Mafia and fuck? But I think it’s the worst scenario for Tae. If you think about it Minkyuk gave the boy the chance to know things about his lover. Things he would never have known. Tae kept the boy in total ignorance. And now his dealings will be discovered. Interesting decidedly interesting

    MH either gonna see TS and leave (smart of him) or he would try to get SY and SY prolly gonna go with him but I don't see that happening, also TS expression makes me think that he thought SY wanted to leave him bc he knows the SY he know wouldn't just let ppl grab him and he will fight back so maybe it's a whole new shit where he thinks he wanted to leave

    I don't understand what's inside the envelope?? Don't tell me taesung's sin is not just loan sharking....but also drug dealing and gun trafficking......!!! I can't morally accept that

    Ishuca June 30, 2021 11:09 pm

    Was taesung aware of senator and mayor's shitty deeds ,e.g. killing a boy during sex and burying him in the construction site???????

    Did you really think Taeseung was just a loan shark? He is a mafia boss, they do all kinds of trafficking and murder people. He was in charge of hiding the dead body for the senator. Sooyoung is not aware of all that, but we are.

    Yeah. Taesung sweet gentleness towards sooyoung and him not being a rapist like minhuyk made me soft for him. It clouded my judgment that he is a dangerous mafia. I can't morally accept that he helped that pervert senator to dispose the body....he helped him cover his horrible crime

    Thanks for the summary!! Do you know what's the story behind their High-school days? I mean, I didn't even know they knew each other from that time until you mentioned it in your summary here. They have 3 years age gap so what's the story about their common past? Thanks in advance :)))

    I ask this question to everyone, Tae Seung first saw Soo Young at his uncle’s funeral, so it was said, we know that he was involved in his death, we know that he and Kang Il were at the funeral. Then there are scans, where you see Tae punched by one, you don’t see the face, could be the boxer as no

    sofocle July 3, 2021 11:58 am

    Tae is not dressed like a high school girl, he has longer hair, he seems to be 20 years old. And this man strikes him. Then there’s the picture around chapter 20 I don’t remember, of an overturned car. And Tae, thinking back to this machine, says he lost his toy.

    sofocle July 3, 2021 12:01 pm

    My question is, if the boxer was already in high school with his ex Ji Sung when he had an affair with Tae? Besides, he’s not more likely to see his lover in the boxer, maybe dead, see the car overturned? And he’s obsessed with having him around and protecting him because he doesn’t want that to happen to the boxer, because he reminds him of this ex?

    The car was a toy. His belongings tae didn't have an ex. And i doubt sooyoung and taesung knew each other more than that punch session in high school. That is when taesung was first hooked

    I believe it's implied that SY/TS might've crossed paths with each other via a fight in high school (SY as a 1st year and TS as a 3rd year). Due to Sooyoung's head condition he might've forgotten completely about TS but TS managed to remember him from the dream that he had in an earlier chapter. The author has confirmed on her Twitter that Sooyoung was Taeseung's first love so I'm guessing that Taeseung was smitten when he got beaten up by Sooyoung. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    That's great! I had no idea they encountered during high-school! Do you know which chapter exactly TS had that flashback about the past so I can go back and read it? Thanks a lot :DDD
