When Huilin was forcefully kissing Jaehee, that was definitely a hit.
I wonder what was the "thud" on the last page though, it can't be another slap(repetitive) and if it isn't I can't see what it is. It wouldn't be Huilin hitting her that would be too much. And there's none else around, during the night.... Really getting me curious
I’m disappointed in her this chapter too. I hope she redeems herself in the future. I hope Jaehee is able to knock some sense into Huilin. I think it takes a strong Jaehee to deny Huilin. And maybe Huilin could give up her pursue when she final face a changed JH and realized she has no chance. I really want to see a character development for Huilin. She needs to learn a life changing lesson so she could go on a journey to find her soulmate. We need a side story for her .
You see, we talked about how Jaehee was only using Huilin as a drug to escape reality. And that eventually she would have to stop avoiding it and face it.
And what is dragging her to face it is 1/ her guilt toward Sulhwa, she feels bad for hurting her, and because (2/) she loves Sulhwa she will become a better person for her sake.
That's how I see it. One could say she just feels bad, without the love feelings, but I would say that person forgot every chapters in which Jaehee actually say she loves Sulhwa and actually act like she's the most happy when she's around her.
About her loving Huilin, please hahahaha, you gotta me kidding me. "Huilin listen to me carefuly. We are over"
Pleaseeeeeeee, at this point anyone thinking she secretly loves her is a complete delusional
I can't even remember when Jaehee actually showed she was in love with Huilin, lust and love are very different.
The only time where she did was during the flashback when they were students and before they would start their roleplaying.
But something broke and their relationship was no longer one of love anymore, and wasn't depicted as one ever again in the story, or maybe I'm forgetting some parts ? But I really can't remember.
Also, it really doesn't look like Jaehee is only acting up now because she feels bad for Sulhwa.
The way she looked determined when she told Huilin they were over, she really looked like she wants to be someone worthy of Sulhwa, like she wants to do it for her sake, not just because "oh I feel bad, mama sorry huilin we gotta hold on one sec til I clear my remorseful mind"
damn it. they're actually mistaking the part where jaehee said that she's using huilin as her getaway vehicle. they thought that part was to showcase her love for huilin, also the part where she was drunk and she suddenly recalled huilin consoling her in chapter 58 before she was kissed. and even if jaehee is really in love with huilin, how could she tell her those and think abt sulhwa in the middle of the scene instead of giving in? knowing jaehee, she could just give in without thinking abt the person she's in a relationship with just like during her previous relationships where she also cheated. but nope, she thought abt sulhwa and rejected huilin which is something NEW for both huilin and jaehee.
"they thought that part was to showcase her love for huilin"
this non-sense is hard to read honestly.
"she thought abt sulhwa and rejected huilin which is something NEW for both huilin and jaehee."
Yeah, it's new but it was already on its way. In chapter 25 after Jaehee had sex with Huilin while being sex-buddy with Sulhwa, and Sulhwa finds out, she says in her head :
""I wanted to escape from reality. I didn't want to feel so alone. So I only thought of myself and acted selfish. I can't make the same mistake ever again""
And she promises she will change, for her. She couldn't have cheated on her in ch 59. When she wants to forget it all she starts feeling alone, because anyone remind her of her responsibilities so she avoid them. Where as Huilin tells her she will never remind her of them.
If was in love with Huilin, she would not go to her when she feels like she wants to escape reality, it would be the exact opposite...
Y'all act like Jaehee did anything wrong here, she's completely drunk, lost, and having existential crisis and Huilin just coming and taking profit of the situation.
It's not Jaehee's fault, Huilin should not have done that. + Jaehee did not exactly reciprocate the kiss, look at the last panel how she is standing and her arms.
We'll have to see the following panels in the next chapter to be sure it's heading that way, but imo there are two possible scenarios for next chapter :
- Jaehee pulls off, and have a real conversation with Huilin.(or she just pass out lol)
or
- Jaehee doesn't do anything but she shows she is feeling bad, Huilin see it and doesn't take it further, and they have a talk another day after Jaehee cleared her thoughts.
If you remember Chapter 56, and even many chapters before, Jaehee hints that she needs to overcome her relationship with Huilin, because it's toxic and only something she uses to get away from reality. In order to become a better person she will have to put an end to it for good.
Another thing giving credit to this, is that in this chapter she thinks back to the question Sulhwa asked "Why did you leave Huilin?", we kind of know why but Jaehee never vocalized it, so plot-wise it's a hint it's going to be answered, and now is the perfect time.
