HOW MINHOON MANAGED TO GET DAD TO AGREE TO THE BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Gunchan was first to lay down the facts that a kin
is similar to a vampire apart from two things:
1) kins don't need blood
2) difference in strength
The rest are fairly similar; eternal life, control physical growth, and the sensory of a vampire. Which means Minhoon can use his scent to force vampires to stop where they are, and his in particular can fill an entire building. It could be use as a weapon.
To test the theory, Minhoon needs a bit of his blood and his mindset thrown into an extreme situation. Lil bro proposes to bite him to get things started. The compulsion of the scent is faint. Edric, who had people standing by with silver bullets-- shoots Gunchan on the shoulder to throw Minhoon off balance. This triggers Minhoon's panic, letting his scent flood through the room. It managed to stop all the vampires on their feet (lesser vamps collapse while the more powerful ones suffocate), proving their theory about Minhoon's scent true.
THANK U SOOOO MUCH!
Tysm!
^^ No prob! If there's anything confusing, I'll do my best to explain. That includes things like Gunchan and dad's plotline, lil bro's inner monologue, etc.
my lord, you really saved me, I was about to drop this!
You clarified certain parts of the plot to me in very short and precise detail. Thank you so much! You are a life saver~
Thank you for breaking it down. Love this.
Thank you for explaining..
Bless ur soul
THE KIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR THE CONFUSED
Kin management go together with blood distribution. Disrupting it would lower the vitality of the family, including the head (Dad). Edric's (orange head) proposal is to close off that system so that they can overpower the dad so that Hyungwoo can disarm him with the "dominate" power (aka the weird red blood aura shit permeating the area that holds power over humans and vampires alike). The only one who can hypothetically stop him is his pure-blood son, Hyungwoo (he's only an 'infant' though so going toe-to-toe without prep is a death sentence).
Edric's initial plan to stop dad:
>drama shoot location in rural area to get dad away from gunchan
>temporarily stop blood pack distribution
>split into two teams
>team 1 (lil bro and edric will split up to stop blood distribution)
>team 2 (hyungwoo w/ minhoon stops dad, sangyeol infiltrates hotel to get gunchan)
What actually happened:
>edric disrupts the blood disrtibution by himself, gets shot a lot
>hyungwoo leaves minhoon behind, rescues gunchan, heads to set to stop dad
>lil bro stays behind to protect the human kin (gunchan, minhoon, sangyeol)
>dad predicted everything they did and called minhoon to work for him instead
>minhoon takes the offer but has a couple of conditions
This wouldn't have worked if Minhoon hadn't used his scent as a weapon.

--------------------
A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF EDRIC'S KIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
I'm guessing before Edric's proposal of the kin system, they used to kill their kins. Sangyeol gave his blood to Edric who almost died while wiping out an entire clain. In exchange for Sangyeol's life to be spared, Edric made a deal with dad. Edric would become administrator of the Kin system under dad's command. Edric's original kin system has to do with making hostages by exploiting the relations between vampire and kin.
BEFORE: manage vampires by taking kin hostage, slaughtering those who disboyed
PRESENT: manage them by making them destroy themselves without killing them directly
-------------------
MINHOON'S CONDITION / PROPOSAL
> Minhoon gets the rights and complete independence to manage kin (to break the corruption of the current kin system) and in exchange, Hyungwoo can be closer to his vampire people.
>Dad will think about it until the end of the drama shooting. He wants to see their potential and conviction. If he likes what he sees, he'll agree to the separated kin management system and pass Minhoon off to train in Europe.
Basically Minhoon's test is to review the kin management system while taking over the tasks Edric was previously assigned to do for the drama they're shooting: handling product placements, choosing and matching said products, contacting sponsors, etc.
For the future plans regarding the kin system, Minhoon wants everyone's freedom so there's no need for 'management'. no need to restrict freedom, support people who need it.
