u thought u could finally shuffle off this mortal coil and fuck off into oblivion peacefully but yr dipshit apprentice had other ideas & now yr stuck being ALIVE. kind of. when u should be blissfully DEAD, & u kinda want to commit apprenticide but u can't kill his meddlesome resurrecting ass b/c he'll just necromance himself & then you'll be stuck with him for eternity. The existential horror of it all
Both morphine and propranolol are really bitter and bad tasting and if they were all over the straw he absolutely would have tasted it right away--plus it would take a couple of mL of solution to do the trick, so how did she manage to get that into him with just a straw? O_o On top of everything else, apple juice can mess with the absorption of beta blockers. Mom would surely have known all of that, especially if she was planning a pharmaceutical murder! Maybe Mom was giving li'l bro propranolol regularly *before* the fateful day ("here, for your 'anxiety' my son") so that he wouldn't taste whatever she doped the juice with? Propranolol can alter your sense of taste, though it's not a guaranteed side effect. Could that be why he was so into eating sour candy--'cause nothing else tasted like anything by that time??
edit: I wonder if Mom gave Myeong Jin blood pressure medication to keep him kinda listless and drowsy--remember how Somyeong said after the bike incident that Myeong Jin got really quiet? It's weird too b/c Somyeong was the one with anxiety and a rapid heartbeat. If anyone needed propranolol in that house it was her! There are so many ways this could go, I'm really curious about what happened; I hope we get a new chapter soon!
GASP* YOURE SO SMART AND COOL
Are you perhaps a chemistry student
you are the sweetest omg ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ ヾ(☆▽☆)
this is all just conjecture, but I really am curious how Mom got such bitter medicines into li'l bro without a fuss. This was one explanation on how it could work. I'm looking forward to see what will be revealed!
Once upon a time I worked in the pharmacy field (=・ω・=)
the world of medications is of great interest to me hehe
u should be a detective or sum wow
Perhaps... A Mary Poppins fan too?
haha I did have that song in my head when I was thinking about this mystery! Back in the day my mom would give me an aspirin in a spoonful of sugar and water so I could swallow the chalky pill. I still remember how it tasted LOL. They didn't know aspirin was dangerous for kids back then. (⊙…⊙ )
if I had it to do over again! hehe
but in this life I can read a lot of mystery novels (=・ω・=)
I just binged all of this and the drugs weren't from the apple juice itself. remember in a flashback from the mom's perspective in the earlier chapters she was surprised that somyeong performed CPR on her brother? mom already qknew somyeong knew, and so gave somyeong a "choice" by retrieving the apple juice and purposefully tainting it and seeing if somyeong will report her.
he told a teacher?? and a male teacher at that??? ISTG this kid's brain is made out of play-doh. Good job, you just made your friend's shitty life even worse ┗( T﹏T )┛
It's too bad she never understood how to handle a fellow like Hyojo. If she'd only thought to tie him up, step on his balls, shove a lighted candle up his ass and tell him to call her Daddy she have been leading him around on a leash and testing the limit of his underworld Black Card in no time instead of dealing with whatever THIS bullshit is.
I did an art history project on Das Bauhaus too...
anyway nowadays this is the name of Germany's version of Home Depot LOL
Woooah, this guy is sure full of himself, isn't he? "I just can't STAND all these USELESS WOMEN throwing themselves at me, they just want GOLD or GLORY! I am so above it all unlike these LOWLY ANNOYING FEMALES who don't even care about their DUTIES while my superior self is SERVING THE NATION by sitting on my ass in my dukedom criticizing strangers!!" Like, dude... they are noble ladies. Getting married is legit their primary duty. He's shitting all over them for literally doing their job. And what, pray tell, is so vile about wanting gold and glory? Are we supposed to despise them for having high standards and pursuing their dreams? Are they supposed to settle for living in ditches and wearing rags?
Those ladies dodged a bullet by not having to marry this gigantic sour bore of a man. I hope the poor gardener girl gets a green dress so she can camouflage herself and hide from him in the rose arbor, LOL
I couldn't agree more. I'm so tired of the "she's different, she's so humble she's gonna accept any Dis respect with gratitude." That's abuser talk. Like yeah, as a lady is not allowed work, is she supposed to shut up and accept misery?
Kinda.....adding a lot of things he didn't say and jumping the gun.
Preach sister, preach!
The He brothers seem to have the secret of managing a man; 1.) feed him well and 2.) keep your eye on him ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
