Idk but, my guess is that hyung is the one who hired those thugs to hire you to make you not be able to be free...

You are correct. Heeseong (puupy) will try his best to come back to the casino coz he was worried his 'brother' might get punished because he disappeared with the money. But he will be betrayed again and sold to a pervert (the one he threw chips in the casino during the 1st chap). Thankfully our ML was fast and he was aved. There was an attempted r*pe but nothing happened coz of ML. His 'brother' is trash. Not sure if it was mentioned already but they are not biologically related. They only met 5 yrs ago when he was taken in by his 'brother'.

he was very innocent my heart was breaking when there was a flashback to when he was a kid.
he was very sickly and weak so his family left him they told him to wait and he did! they never came back! and it's not a misunderstanding, his parents really did intentionally left him. im tearing up again writing this. that's why he's clinging so much to his 'brother', coz he is his only 'family'.
he was so hurt to the point he said that he understood why his family left him coz he's weak and sickly but he didn't understand why his 'brother' betrayed him when he did his best and hardest all those 5 years. he thought it was his fault he was weak and sickly. poor baby, my heart.

not really, his 'brother' was never a good person. They took puppy on a whim and kept him coz he's pretty. He already has plans on how to use him ever since he was picked up. Most of his earnings as well goes to his "brother' for 'safe keeping' and to help his 'brother' pay off the debts. these debts are the 'brother's' only coz he has gambling addiction. And puppy only helps as pay back for picking him up. when the 'brother' said that this will be the last job and that they will get out of the gang, that was meant for the 'brother' only, he planned to leave puppy to get the blame for everything while he gets the money and freedom.
The risks of having connections with someone work in the media, especially show related ones, are either they will use you or your situation as their show plan idea, or they will force you to agree to help their show to improve if you happened to have shown yourself in the project that they handled.
Of course there are merits too but, if you don't even want to be known through your story, you'll be pretty stressed.
Wish to see Yugun beat the producer tho.
I haven't read this part in the novel but I guess since Yoohyun lost his memories, he cried so much while trying to enter the dungeon? I mean, Riette and the others know really well what kind of person is Yoohyun, so for them to said it like that, it's possible that they saw the real younger brother side of Yoohyun that's rarely seen (since most of the time he's like 'I alone is enough to protect my big bro' or 'get in the way and you're dead'
Imagine getting bullied and disrespected because of certain noble's act. Wait did this Vabarus guy get rejected by Ennid or something? Kinda forget the reason but if it is, bro needs to move on or at least realize what did he fckn do for Ennid to not liking him.
I've speculated that Varabus may have feelings for Ennid but their country frowns upon homosexuality, even tho it seems to go on behind closed doors, so he bullied him constantly. Now he's probably trying to ruin Ennid's rep so that he can swoop in and make Ennid his closed door lover in return for power and fame.
Whoa I guessed it right about Yoohyun showing the lil brother side of him to make the other S hunters shocked.
Also seriously you S rank hunters, can't you just open someone's shirt a bit nicer??
