I did think the person Ilwoo wanted to kill was going to end up being Baekhee's dad. We know Baekhee’s dad is in jail because he killed someone and we know from previous chapters that Ilwoo wants to know if there’s any famous murderers in the area, like he’s looking for someone specific. They’ve also come across as star-crossed-lovers throughout the story (they both want to be together, but can’t for various reasons), so their tragic stories had to be connected.

It’s possible Ilwoo even knows the release date for Baekhee’s dad, and has been counting down the days just like Baekhee. That’s why he showed up now and knows he will leave Gicheon after graduation, when the dad gets out of jail.

The only thing is that Ilwoo told Baekhee that his dad died from an accident in a previous chapter. Maybe he got into an accident while trying to save Baekhee and pay for the ransom, and was killed that way.

Eagerly awaiting season 3! Will Ilwoo be even more motivated to kill Baekhee’s abusive dad once he finds out?! Will Baekhee feel so guilty he tries to leave Ilwoo again?!
