I can already imagine Ian’s dad following Kayden like a puppy wanting to be friends. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
SM is so husband-coded in this chapter. He really tried to protect his beloved from an intruder with a fucking frying pan. (⌒▽⌒)
“They didn’t seem anything like this when I saw them at the company.”
Lol. Woojin-hyung, you don’t know even the half of their situationship. (▰˘◡˘▰)
Our boy SM is actually so damn smart. He’s trying to get on Woojin-hyung’s good side so he has more sources to dig into. Bro really out here collecting informants without them even realising it.
I feel like I need to go back to earlier chapters and see who had the keychain. Does anyone know? I’m kinda hoping it was Hyesung, the other member who’s now an online streamer. But he wouldn’t be that rude as to just barge into a dorm he doesn’t even live in anymore. My next guess would be the mf BJ himself, but wouldn’t he just keep trying to force the door open?
But anyway, besties, huh? The kind that are always lip-locking? Casually stroking and rubbing against each other? And getting all cuddly with each other to sleep? Lol.
I think the one who wanted to open the door wasn’t Jun bc that asshole wouldn’t stop or give it up that easily. Idk who was it…, maybe a past member of the band who accidentally lost the keychain while leaving or something like this. I think Jun’s apparance gonna be way more DU-DUUUM like.
And Jy is still “embrassed” and he is not really himself still, calling Sm “friend” is suitable to not make any awkward situation working together while they still not a couple or something certain.
i actually think it’s our wet cat hyeseong too! he may have wanted to visit after all the fuss from the other members and learning that jy is still living at the dorms … since jun wouldn’t give up so easily, maybe…

I have a question, I don’t know you remember me but you helped me out so many times about this manhwa when I had a question, from the get-go. And I’m still very glad for your help.
Who is Seungmin? I mean, why he is so invested in this case, (and not just for Jy, bevause he started to stop the drug even before he meet with Jy) why he working together with so many people to solve the case? He even said, the music career and to be famous is not even matters to him and he would give all of it up just to spend more time with Jy, then why he became a rapper and all?
as a reader, we don't have any concrete facts right now so it's all speculation at the moment. what we do know is that sm is on the good guys side so i wouldn't worry about him betraying jy if anything.
- sm didn't start rap because of a burning passion or anything, he was just looking for a way to get famous without any backing since he's been living in BR most of his life (c24). coincidentally, hyeonseo had a similar background where he had no experience with rap but still won 'drop that money s1.' so yeah he has the talents with composing etc (his lyrics for lose myself embody his harsh upbringing c28) but in the end, entertainment never was his dream. that's why he says he can throw it all away at the drop of a hat and hasn't exactly released anything since he was already famous enough, which was his main goal.
- as for why he needs to get famous? definitely to get his foot out there and do his own hands-on investigation without looking conspicuous. cheolmin wanted to use club favela's VIP room to deal (c16) so the target audience for h100 looks to be rich & famous celebrities. we usually see sm in jy's POV where he's kind, affectionate, and full of aegyo. but based on the livestream, we can see sm put up a wall ie. puts his hood on when the livestream starts, stops smiling on-screen... (c28). even as early as ch7, the fans have varying impressions of him. however, he's still openly affectionate towards jy and wants it to be known that they're close, maybe to shake jun up who he has an inkling is linked to h100 (or just soft-launch jy /lh)
- all the ppl sm has been working with on the case has been with him since his childhood (bokyeong, kyeongmin) so his reason to get involved is something personal we have yet to confirm. km is not only jy's doctor, but he's also a researcher of h100 (c13) and has even joined in ngos for brazil with bk (c24). as for the twins who are the same age as sm, i wonder if they met in rehab since they brought it up once for maria (c11). she also seems to know a lot about drugs for someone who is 'just an office worker.' i also still believe that it was sm's father who got caught in the addiction since he talks about him like a faraway existence
Thank youuu!
Oooh I like the DU-DUUUM thing! (≧∀≦) And yes JY might be trying to avoid any awkward situation seeing that they are both in entertainment industry so calling the situationship they are having a merely friendship could save them lotsa troubles. That, OR he haven’t really cone to understand his own feelings towards SM.
Wait. What is wet cat again? That’s SO Hyesung-coded! (≧∀≦)
All these speculations are totally aligned with my theories! Love it!
wet cat 'cause his streamer name is comet-nyang (코멧냥) and he's a tsundere babu LOL. i saw someone say that 'dream in dream' may have been dream boy merch so that would explain that hs could have accidentally left behind his treasured keychain... TT
speaking of cats, i said this in another comment but: "in ch 23 when the members were reunited, there was also a cat who popped up. and in ch 31, there was a cut-in with the cat again with the other members..." i think nalhun definitely did this for a reason!
Ooh! I’d totally splurge on their merchs if they are real! Lol Comet-Nyang is so Hyesung!
Ah I saw the cat in ch24 instead of 23 but couldn’t find one in ch31. ╥﹏╥
NalHun is sneaky-sneaky!
How high of an IQ do you need to have to know that when someone says, “Is there anything more dramatic than you walking into my life?” to immediately perceive that is an obvious love confession? I’m JEALOUS!
LMAOOO the comment section is going absolutely feral over BJ. The man just landed and immediately managed to piss off the entire fandom in one go.
Not JO pulling up dressed like SM and then proceeding to farm upvotes to prove he’s somehow better than SM online. Bro, pick a struggle. First you steal the aesthetic, now you’re competing for internet validation?? Mf has officially lost the plot AND his identity. I need this man AWAY from my screen. (︶︿︶)＝凸
JY, baby, you don’t need to be embarrassed about dreaming of SM, because he dreamt of you too. Those little domestic moments between them are seriously such a blessing to my eyes. Like… please, just let them be happy and domestic together. Beijo (▰˘◡˘▰)
And so the devil himself has landed in Korea. Actively spamming JY at every opportunity and looking more and more like he’s on his way to becoming a full-blown sasaeng at this point. Sir, please have some shame. (╬￣皿￣)凸
I'm actually lost who's the guy that got down from the plane again?
jy ex band mates, the one who drugged jy
That’s Baek Jun, ex-member of Dream Boy idol group, and the guy that drugged Jae Young and ruined his career and damaged his health. In short, he’s the motherfxcker that we all despise.
Not SM and Boo low-key competing over who’s closer to JY. (≧∀≦)
At first I thought “What in the devil eyes are those?!”. Turns out they are just lemons with product label on it. (￣∇￣")
Not SM casually tricking Boo into spilling JY’s favorite color and drink. (≧∀≦)
Just author-nim gatekeeping the photo JY picked. It must’ve been some spicy pictures of him and SM. (⊙…⊙ )
Seeing how high the wings prop goes makes me want to throw up. It feels so ominous. ╥﹏╥
they’re actually mangos haha. the prev ch, sm is singing out his grocery list of : banana, mango, tapioca starch~ looks like he’s planning to make a brazillian crepe for jy for breakfast
OMG you are so right! LOL! Gonna look up for Brazilian crepe recipe now. (≧∀≦)
I wonder if Director Han Yeju knows something about what happened in the past when she requested for the lighting to be brought down low. When she said, “…so he doesn’t come crashing down this time..,” do you think she was simply acknowledging that JY is sensitive to bright lights, or was she implying something deeper than that?
I have some speculation about the director too. I think she is somehow involved in the drug scandal. Either she knows about what happened to JY and hid it or the agency is a facade for drug distribution and let the happy drug be circulated.
Right? That has to be the most plausible speculation.
However, I hate putting her in the same category as mf BJ, so I’m just going to settle on the idea that she knows something, but her hands are tied and she doesn’t have the power to do anything about it.
I love your positivity lol. But by her atmosphere I don't really like her. She's really suspicious too. The whole idol company is. It's such a good story that it makes you speculate about many things!
I think is the latter, although she seems suspicious i don't get any vibe she's actually part of the problem with the drug.
Same! I love coming up with my own theories! (⌒▽⌒)
True! She has every potential to be suspicious of. Let’s hope she stays on the good side.
(spoiler/speculation)

c8 and c24 is enough to make me believe she isn't in kahoots with dive +h100 but rather was an original sunshine ent staff, mainly 'cause she:
- was the one who recruited jy and a lot of the staff on OG sunshine's side worry about him (c25, c27)
- also worries about the lighting all the time (c27, c32)
- was rightfully suspicious of sm but convinced by sugyeom to take the collab (and we know sugyeom knows jy's predicament so i assume yeju does too (ch8)
- doesn't particularly get along with baek cheolmin (jun's uncle) and even considers her team a separate side to them/OG dive (c20)
- collab is moving along so there's no known sabotaging. 10billion says dive's side is being fussy but it might be 'cause yeju is worried about jy? (can't remember the exact ch or scene lol)
Good side it is, then! I remember Ayeong, the sound engineer from 10Billion, mentioning that Dive was throwing a fit over the distribution rights. I really hope Yeju wasn’t the one who set all of that in motion.
yeah, that was the scene! i'm gonna put the blame on dive's side wanting more money and control until further notice lmaooo. they did love working jy to the bone and using the excuse of him breaking w/e contract and his huge debt
Do we have a fandom name yet? I’m so ready to learn all the fan chants. The time between releases is more than enough for us to practise them.
