im no theorist but i can help come up with an idea! so the kid with the burn is obviously ilwoo, they have the same eye color as well. the boy in the closet was baekhee (im assuming), and the man I can only assume is baekhee’a dad. I think, based on the context of the conversation, Ilwoo’s dad owes baekhee’s dad money in some way so he took it out on ilwoo. Im not sure of the rest, but im gonna go on a limb here and say the reason Ilwoo is suicidal might be connected to both his own dad and baekhee’s dad.
MCs dad went to jail for 10 years, b/c he did sth. aweful. Turns out this awful thing he did was kidnapping and torturing ML as a kid to make MLs dad pay up, hence the flashback to MCs dad giving a burn mark to a kid and then showing the audience the scar on MLs shoulder at the very same spot. As a kid, ML still had his natural dark hair color, and it wasn't dyed blond yet, but his green eyes are a dead giveaway that it is ML who gets tortured. MC realized that his new lover is his father's victim at the end of this chapter.
So who got the theory actually?
Can anyone explain?
