I feel like Heongjae and Myeonggi's first time having sex was missing passion. People forget that Heongjae and Jingi are more alike than they like to admit. Just how Jingi fucks Myeong-IL without trying to pleasure him is the same way Heongjae just fucked Myeong-IL. This can be demonstrated when Myeong-IL tells Heongjae to stop ignoring him and also when Myeong-IL says "Jingi and Heongjae both have problems... Whatever I say, it leads to sex". I think because people think Heongjae liked Myeong-IL more than Jingi that he would listen more and be more romantic. I also noticed that just before they were about to have sex Myeong-IL thinks "He said he wouldn't hurt me" which reminded me of chapter 20 when Jingi mentioned that Heongjae was only upset that Myeong-IL got hit because he wanted to be the one to hurt him. I wonder if this is foreshadowing Heongjae having another outburst and directing it towards Myeong-IL.
In the first page of chapter 22 where the guards were talking about new transfers, I wonder if the new transfers will be from their previous jail and will reveal more about their charges.
Wait, isn't Tsugumi passing the entrance exam inconsistent with the idea that Tsugumi is kind of dumb?
im guessing he scraped a pass with rigorous studying, or perhaps he's not so bad at memorising and shit when he tries, we wouldn't know as we havent really seen him try before.
I mean character can change. With his determination, it is highly likely he did study vigorously to pass the exam. Its not far fetch.
He pulled an Elle Woods on us
He's not dumb, he just wasn't motivated. His parents are an architect and engineer, and his sister is clearly intelligent beyond her years, he has good genetics.
Honestly, it seems he was uninterested in grades or putting any effort towards it. Remind me of my cousin, who is a wiz at math and science but doesn't put the effort in, used to drive his teachers and parents mad.
Ok so this chapter confirmed that Myeong-IL's relationship with Heonjae is mainly out of pity. It seems like Heongjae is one of those pathetic losers that thrive off of people feeling bad for them and uses that to pressure people into doing things for him. I'm glad that Myeong-IL is still pretty stubborn and disobedient because I feel like it gives him more personality but I hope he works on being less of a push over and letting people use his empathy against him, since that's how he got into jail in the first place.
Y'all we're finally getting a backstory on Heonjae (silver hair)!!! I know he was a kid in the backstory but all I have to say is that y'all really let some bangs convince you that that man was cute. Some of y'all aren't over your emo boy phase and it shows. Anyway on a serious note it seems like Heongjae has always been a naturally timid and shy guy and unfortunately the older guy that I think was his coach might have taken advantage of him or something. I'm not exactly sure. I'm getting creepy vibes from the coach. Also, I thought it was interesting that when Jingi threw the pen to Heongjae he imagined a severed finger. Could he be imagining Myeong-IL's finger or someone else's?
In Chapter 1 we see Jingi raping the fat old guy knowing that everyone can hear him. In chapter 2 we see Jingi raping Myeong-IL in front of an old guy and we see him raping Myeong-IL on the bus in front of everyone. In chapter 8 we realize that not only does Jingi like raping people but he also uses rape as a way to deter other prisoners from causing issues with him as many prisoners in real life do. I do wonder if raping men in front of other prisoners is also a power move or if he's also into exhibitionism.
So people were really out here thinking that Jingi was nice? How did y'all forget Chapter 1 so quickly? Not only Chapter 1 but did y'all forget that Jingi set up Meong'IL to be gang raped? Did y'all also forget that he forces himself on Meong-IL on a regular basis? C'mon guys don't let one drunken night of passionate sex, some cute cuddling, and Jingi worrying about Meong-IL for a millisecond to make you forget that these are hardened criminals.
I'm still traumatized by the nipple clipping
Nah, we are just learning he has some shades to him, just like we are learning the gray haired dude is not as innocent as he seems
Listen I survived Killing Stalking and all its toxicity so I can survive this. I am a mature adult woman that can take the story for what it is, understand the characters and their toxicity, and still enjoy reading it. I also understand that some people don't like this and that's alright with me.
i love this comment, specially the ' i am a mature adult woman' cause I literaly said this to myself lol. Totally agree that yes its toxic yes i don't agree with almost anything they do, but the character is well writen enought so that I believe and can actually see how thier mind made then do this decisions. Kind of like a glance for the reasons why would you put yourself in this posistions and do those things, BUT again i dont agree.
After Umehiko gets Theo out of jail I want to learn more about Theo's upbringing. Like in his 500 years of life did he have parents or guardians. Did he have past lovers or friends? Was he always self and cruel before meeting Umehiko?
Omg yes!! I want his story too, I hope we get it if it has been made. I wanna know his past and why he is by himself. Like does he have family or he doesn't? It's so much I want to know and I really, really hope we get that chapter.
