Ah goddamnit pyeonghwa is partially blind due to the head injuries, and incheol actually met pyeonghwas mom earlier in his career. During the time he lied to get her stamp, right after incheol tells her he was sent by her boss, she asks where he's from again, implying a memory problem and collapses right after. my guess is a brain tumor. My theory is that incheol wasnt able to actually get the stamp at that point, the parents die, the cop inherits the gym, then transfers ownership to pynghwa in the current day. (Tbh i forget how many people owned the gym at this point) If incheol or rep lee already owned the gym at this point by stealing the stamp they wouldnt need to go through all this trouble. Im guessing because of this mistake icheol made years ago they sent him to clean it up again.
I know this is just a short story but why are we driving so fast The plot moved so quick its giving me whiplash. Im reading peace of god right now and its the slowest slowburn on planet earth and every chapter is a conversation and a few yearning looks. This one is literally a sparknotes summary with backstory, time skip, sex, climax, and epilogue in five consecutive chapters
Im not a stranger to dark stories so alot of the elements i could stomach and get some meaning from it. Its an apocalyptic world so it makes sense agni would try to find belonging even within his version of his sister. He never had that "righteous education" doma says people need. You can only truly practice and preach morality when youre not constantly fighting for survival. Even though murder, rape, slavery, and cannibalism are all crimes almost every character participates in these acts in some way for many reasons. For survival, ego, misguided education, revenge, religious psychosis. In the end both the identities of agni and judah were erased and reborn as san and luna. Possibly a reference to the sun and moon? Agni is named after the hindu god of fire and judah is a jewish name derived from a character in the bible and is connected to judaism which is the oldest abrahamic religion in the world. Many religions refer to a cleansing flame in which fire is a sacred element of purification. Angi is a man who has regenerative abilities who carries a flame by someone trying to cleanse of a village of cannibals through destruction. Therefore constantly being in a cycle of destruction and rebirth. His identity and names changes many times. Once as a son and a brother, then as a savior, a herald of destruction, a source of fear and reverence, the leader and face of a religion, a god, the killer of many families, an outcast, a family monarch, a false prophet impersonating a god, then back to the role of an older brother.
It makes me really san ended up the way that he did but it makes total sense. Everyone is desperately holding onto a reason to live no matter how flimsy, and they dont like to be told they are wrong or have someone else get in their way of living. Even tree face luna (sorry i forgor her name lol) is willing to absorb all of humanity and multiple planets to warm up the earth and give rebirth to humanity so she can watch the last star wars movie lmaoooo.
Im betting we get freaky in three chapters? Right now i think incheol needs more of a reason to get closer to pyeonghwa to be more comfortable with the dynamic they have. This latest chapter proves pyhwa is actually super into him when he actually plays disinterested and hard-to-get to see how far incheol chases him. Pyhwa probably waiting for an opportunity for him to open up/relax a little bit and he pounces. My prediction: ch 16 Incheol picks him up and prolly keeps him in his apt to keep an eye on him after taking him to the hospital and learning about his brain injury. ch 17 they have a conversation about stuff and learn more about each other and pyeonghwa tells him to keep him company or he goes back to the gym or finds someone to sleep with. ch 18 nervous pound town where incheol cries lmao while bottoming for the first time
It is likely that Incheol takes Ahn to the hospital and that's where he learns Ahn's risk för bran damage and so they make a deal, both think that they're usin each other, and both ofc fallin in loooove. I love the foreshadowing, when Ahn faints the first time after being hit by Incheol he wears this blue top which says "friends to lovers" lol






I cant stop crying over baby jinhyeong even if he's drawn cutesy and cartoonish, seeing him tremble in fear was horrible. Kids are smart, even when theyre at the age that cant speak yet they observe and adjust their behavior to their parents reactions. Such incredibly insidious venomous words are very common especially among elitist parents that value education above all and view society as a ladder they desire to be at the top of. They think everyone else owes them since they have worked themselves to a place where others typically service them and believe its what they deserve. Your best is the bare minimum and if you do any less you might as well die. EVERY flaw is personal. Even bad handwriting can be an indication of laziness and moral failure.
More like operational thinking, you try to set up kids lock and they quickly figured out how to unlock it, because you provided puzzle toys to them so they are quick to solve those, there are even sneaky kids
