Either chapter 79 or 80

Because Sarang needs money. The game has a bet of 50,000 won everytime a participant refuse to do it.

Her batshit of a father took all her money just so he would leave her alone. Which means despite Sarang being diagnosed having mental issues, she still holds back from killing her father despite wanting to do so.


Sarang has no concept of empathy or humiliation. Also it was Subin who said first that whoever refuse the dare gets slapped hard, and Sarang just followed the rule. It's not her fault that it backfired to Subin. Subin and her friends are already aware of Sarang's weirdness, yet they still keep dropping stones on their own feet.

Subin dig her own grave, and she has many chances to stop when she was confronted her games are not fun anymore. Yet because she's a wannabe psycho and wants to prove she's special, when seeing the true representation of craziness(Sarang) she gets undermined and it hurts her ego. Not to mention, her own so called 'friends' reminding her every single time that if she's not crazy, she's just a nobody.


Also I agree with the view towards the student council president. I think he's the representation of those goody two shoes that only acts on their benefit and for their image. He said it himself that universities in the career of prosecutors not only check the grades and score of entrance exam, they also check the background and deeds of the student.

Also about the kiss thing in the earlier chapters Subin literally dragged the orange haired guy and blackmailed him to tell Sarang he's uncomfortable of the kiss thing. Subin got super jealous that the orange hair guy has a crush on Sarang and was gonna spread a rumor about the 'fantasies' he had about Sarang.


Also Sarang already said she was not participating, but it was Subin who keep insisting and when blackmail about the kiss did not work because Sarang was helped by the orange haired boy, Subin switched tactics with money.


That's why, Sarang is indeed the victim here. Subin is the one trampling on others to cement her reputation as a psycho crazy girl. But unfortunately for her, she targeted the real diagnosed psycho. That's why her image and reputation crumbled slowly every time she do an embarrasment game with Sarang. Because Sarang has an unpredictable set of thinking it always throws everyone of guard.



Most of all, I feel so sorry for Sarang. In the last chapter she's clearly struggling now and her dangerous intrusive thoughts are showing because she's ran out of her meds. Her having a symptoms of spiral were showed in the panels so I don't know how you still feel sorry for Subin.


Subin is a wannabe, Sarang has an illness and I think anyone could guess who's the more pitiful here.

I don't understand how you think Subin is not that bad and she's the bullied one, well yeah by her friends and her own self. I agree with @The_fujoshi101. Though, I agree with the student council one.

Yeah in terms of her friends, they reinforced her feelings of 'distinction.' Now we don't know what grade they're in but Its cool how accurate they portray 'edgy' teen phase lol. Back to topic, but once this image gets challenged she tries to do everythibg it takes to validate this identity. Its really cool, cause it presents accurate 'static identity' or 'themed identity' are. (I haven't done research paper abt this topic totally would come back here *behavioral student here* to update)

So far yeah diagnosed psychopath is so cool to see in fiction that actually aligns to symptoms (though I need to study it further) tottallyyy so cool.

Subin IS pretty bad. she doesn't know the boundaries at the moment. she'll keep pushing and pushing others (in this case, Sarang/MC) just so she could come out as the more 'weirder' one, the more 'unique' one between them. it's understandable why she'd want to feel that way but that does NOT mean she's not bullying Sarang.

you can feel bad for a character and the way they think, but you shouldn't erase the one thing that makes that character the way they are. Subin IS a bully, even without Sarang in the picture. I mean, she made the orange haired guy stop going to art class right after exploiting his presence that gave her money :)

i get that subin has her insecurity problem but that does NOT tone how much she did to sarang. just because sarang is okay on what subin did to her doesn't make it right. imagine if sarang is actually a "normal" girl and they kept doing it plus poking it for fun, one might actually killed themselves over that. so does imagining sarang is "normal" justified than when shes not "normal" now?

also there's this thing about social status, the one crucial thing about them all is about social status. that orange head don't want to admit he likes sarang because sarang is a "weirdo" and people have a various opinion about her, so he don't want to be labelled as a loser, that would make him friendless despite him actually liking her.

the council president also taking care of his social status, making him look prestigious and actually have a good record. remember that the guy wanted to have a good record? he's honestly also twisted in his own ways, he wanted to expose what that friend group did to sarang, hence maybe thats why hes loitering it.

then about subin, she's definetely the biggest case of these. she's been ironically called a weirdo/pyscho because what she did in the past was so blunt than what normal people do in social spaces, some call it brave, some call it rude. but she wasnt familiar with all of that treatment because she thinks that its "normal" to be like doing all that, to what's she's currently doing. honestly? she's actually more similar to sarang than anybody. the only difference is subin actually feeding into these compliments, thinking being weird is actually a compliment... but when in actuality being the so called "weird & a pshyco" is actually harder feeling it than you didn't think youre actually weird, or just being called that you're weird.

so yeah thats that

Of course hes touchy, he literally can't touch anyone. Bros starved

I agree with that, but it feels weird bc she doesn’t even like him that way. Kissing without the feeling being mutual is odd

Hes an ancient ghost with no history of interacting with humans. whos killed people. Odd? Of course he is

Right because a ghost that’s not even human feeling romantically attraction especially for someone who is scared of them totally makes sense. Maybe I’d wrap my head around it more if he also liked his first friend that way too

I completely agree. The author was really trying to reel in some sort of forced romance here when the characters have barely established themselves as true friends.

There's also the weird time lapse of five minutes later and then five minutes earlier to build some sort of suspense which falls flat just like the kiss, in addition to all the other weird dialogue choices and just overall off-putting atmosphere.

I get that we all ship it, but this is something that felt really out-of-place and added very little to the story. Yes, we get he's a monster, and He's not a student from ten years ago, and...?

I think this dream sequence has hurt the storytelling more than anything.

I am still a bit lost as to how we even got to that dream sequence, but I do think that a decent part of the aspects and story telling were intriguing, and there was development of the fl, seeing her how she got to think through it and understand that she's actually in danger. Though the kiss definitely felt like forced suspension as you said (--;)

Though the kiss definitely felt like forced suspension as you said (×_×) Though i think the off putting dialogue choices are obviously intentional since, well, it is horror, so it is meant to off put you. what do you think would have been a better development or suspension leading to the kiss?

(Apologies for the double reply)

You are right that we did get the FL's character development, something I didn't consider because I was still raising my eyebrows at the ML's sudden overt obsession and touchiness, which doesn't match my expectations when he first showed up. By off-putting, I didn't mean horror. I meant that it feels out of place because it feels fast-paced and doesn't match what the characters feel for each other at this point of the story.

I definitely don't have the skills of an author for a great development, but since I love reading slow-burns: I think a better development would have been that we as readers shoud have seen more exploration of the ML. We just found out, after the kiss, that the ML seems to have two sides of him that conflict each other. It would have been interesting to analyze why he kissed the FL if we knew more about him. however, we do not. That's why OP felt that things were fanservice, and why we both thought that the kiss was forced: because the characters haven't spent enough time with each other. They can only meet at school and he protected her from bullies and he agrees to be her friend, but that's not enough to reason why they would kiss. Plus, he can't even touch her anyways.

But I do think it's pretty cool device to have her be internally bleeding after the kiss, though I think if horror and shock was the intention, a suble romantic ambiance of them kissing wasn't the best way.

All in all, I didn't really like this dresm sequence but it has set up for interesting things to come. I just hope the suthor doesn't have the ML do things that seem kinda out-of-character again, like him being super touchy-feely, in order to move the plot.

tbh yeah since there were barely any moments bw them other than her being curious about him, which really made him like this bc he didn't experience any of his contractors giving a flying f about him lol. I find it so cute, I ship it so hard.

LOL ikr but we supposed to ignore the logic, and did tehehe-

Honestly, I feel that she'll go along w it bc he the only one she got other than the glasses guy. She does seem to care about him so.

Omg lol TRUTH

I see, thank you for your analysis! All of your points make much sense, and I am inclined to agree that a slow burn or further exploration of the ml's character would have helped the flow of the story more. We do see him in the previous chapters being in denial about the fact he can not touch her like he wants though, and having fantasies of the FL reciprocating or rather lean in to his touching. Perhaps that was the attempt to make the build up to him not able to handle to maintain himself and kiss her at the end, though oc course the execution would have been better if it had more time to bloom and like you said if they revealed earlier on that the ml has 2 conflicting sides. We will just have to see where this leads to then :)
