I think the doctor might have known he would die if he went out of town with the teacher. The doctor said that if anything happened to Guwon while he was in town, the Hounds might harm the townspeople. That's why the doctor went out of town with the teacher, because he knew Guwon would follow them to see if the teacher was okay (after all, everyone knows he's important to him). The doctor wanted to kill Guwon outside the town so the townspeople would be safe from Guwon and his pack.
I miss the person I was when the first 5 chapters came out
Everything I'm reading right now is either end of season or hiatus :(
Congratulations author-sama, it's been a while since there was a manhwa that would arouse so many conflicting emotions.
I don't know what's true anymore. In chapter 0, Guwon kills a maggot that wanted to hurt the teacher. In chapter 24, we learn that it was actually the Teacher's father. It's obvious that Guwon killed him. But Guwon couldn't know if the father was useful or not, because he didn't have the opportunity to talk to him. Guwon didn't kill people until he found out if they could be useful to him - he talked to the Teacher first, even though he wanted to kill him. The father's age didn't matter either, the Doctor and he were middle-aged. Maybe the father was infected, but he hid it from the teacher so as not to scare him. He came out as a human, came back as a maggot. Maybe the body was already a maggot, but the father's psyche remained and he wanted to take care of the Teacher like a father. And Guwon killed him because he was a maggot. I don't know. I really don't know how to interpret all this anymore
