“Give back what you recieve, everything you receive return it the exact same way”
It honestly sounds like something a parent would say to their children that’s been bickering over their toys. Dohun’s main takeaway of that phrase is that it’s a lesson on getting even in other words ‘tit for tat’. I honestly wasnt that familiar with that expression before i thought it was the same as eye for an eye, they’re not. They both express an act for getting even using the same method a perpetrator used first but eye for an eye is more of a one and done deal, tit for tat suggests a continuous back and forth.
Chapter 68 ends off with Dohun fixating on the reason why Yuwon doesn’t want to be with him he comes to the conclusion he’ll keep him by his side even if he has to write his name to do it. Eerie how far back he’s had thoughts of marking Yuwon. The sequence continues into the next chapter opening up with a scene of him still bleeding from his nose something his brother says echos in his head, “do you think writing your name on something makes it yours?” The reason why he began to write his name on his belongings was so they couldn’t be taken away from him. I have to remind myself that name isn’t actually his but given to him by his father why not use your real name to label things as your own? I guess his brother was right about one thing nothing in the world (at least back then) belongs to him not even his name. It doesn’t answer the question who was he so worried will take Yuwon away that far back?
The phrase is later reiterated when he strikes a deal with his brother for his phone, with nothing to offer up in exchange he gets beat to a pulp. Hanseob blurts something prior to Dohun ‘sacrificing’ himself that I still find strange, “so father told you to give it back to me” what if there was something Dohun took away from him first aside from his phone. Now, what could that be? Their dad previously mentions he doesn’t need an idiot that only knows how to take a beating but seeing the bruises he basically says he used the phrase wrong. Will you play tit for tat the same way for the bullies? He brought up that hanseob still acts like a child around him. Again, like kids fighting over their toys One thing I’ve taken note of, Dohun never labeled that phone did he? What Yuwon says about his texts not being like him might not have even been from him.

In chapters 76 Dohun says in his time away it was common to see people that banged their heads on the wall and spoke amongst themselves as if someone was there. He insists he never had to do drugs to hallucinate Yuwon there is one instance however where his face is warped. We then see a bruise on Dohun’s forehead this scene stuck out to me did he begin to bang his head in attempt to see Yuwon clearly? What does this mean to Yuwon who’d do the same even whilst Dohun lay next to him? What could he be trying to remember or who
Edit bc I began to overthink and can’t stop myself: I think the reason Yuwon bangs his might have to do with his belief of their being good ppl out there bc his parents. He doesn’t even bring it up in his memories yet he still projected himself unto a random girl passing by with her parents (Ch 55 vs 73) I felt that was a way of showing that the belief is buried deep down somewhere but his mind won’t allow him to fully remember. He mentions before that Seungmin satisfied his needs. It seems to me the little time they spent together served as a reminder to him that there is still good in the world. He’s rather naive isn’t he? To trust someone so deeply that you refuse to see the bad in them will only lead to disappointment. What if Seungmin is a reflection of someone from the past? We don’t know how many times this outlook has left Yuwon vulnerable to being taken advantage of.
The last the blonde was seen before the modern times it looks like he took the form of a fox. The two MC's continue living and carry on the teachings of their religion to their God. Maybe he's some kind of diety for gay seggs and feeds off of other's devotion and belief or maybe he's supposed to be something like the serpent that tempts eve?
I feel like all the animals and insects in this are all intentionally mentioned. The fly, centipede, cicada, deer and in later chapters, a sparrow… I wanted to go over my observations surrounding the centipede on Seungmin’s collar in chapter 15. I shared in my first analysis that Yuwon must’ve grew up being blamed and that’s why he blames Dohoon when they first meet and in the future. Anyways, I came across this poem about a centipede. It tells the tale of a centipede once asked by a toad which one of your legs move first after overthinking it began to struggle to crawl. The poem later inspires the centipede effect. It occurs when an act performed unconsciously is questioned it becomes harder to perform? Worded very poorly sorry. Most examples I came across included walking, a horse galloping, the centipede crawling (breathing- if you want to take it that far) and take a pro athlete for instance once they over analyze a maneuver they struggle to perform it. All these examples are done by instinct or done enough times it becomes natural. For Yuwon it’s protecting others. It has been hinted he’s protected others and to think he’s said in the times that he has he moved without thinking. In the case that the centipede is directly linked to that poem it begs the question, how many times has he protected others for it to be an unconscious act to him and what was Yuwon’s childhood really like? We only see what he wants to believe ☹ Back to chapter 15, dohoon says he got the sudden urge to kill before killing the centipede. I feel like it symbolizes his desire to break his pattern.
Looks like Yuwon did intervene for someone just not for Dohoon as his recounts of the past would indicate. According to the onlookers there was someone else being bullied until Yuwon like an idiot stepped in to defend him and ended up like that. Dohoon steps in initially to provoke the bullies to hit him so that Yuwon will get in the way again but he’s changed. Dohoon instead blocks the bullies. Why didn’t Yuwon intervene? Maybe he was just scared and didn’t want to make things harder than it already was. There’s one scene in Yuwon’s pov where he says everytime he would talk back to the bullies they’d take it out on Dohoon. (ch 52-53) Knowing what we know now it was Dohoon talking back and it highly likely made the bullying worse. The monologue taken place in that scene were probably Yuwon’s true feelings. I’ve also had this theory that the first time they met maybe Yuwon was put into the orphanage place shortly after. I thought this because of how he freaks out after defending dohoon saying his aunt will yell at him which she does as shown in chapter 63. Also the director alludes to the fact that he was put in there by his aunt bc he won’t comply to the rules (ch 50) It’s just a theory but either would explain why he chooses to ignore when Dohoon was getting roughed up in this current chapter. I honestly think growing up Yuwon would often get blamed for a lot of things we see it in class as he’s blamed for being bullied, he’s even blamed for the reason why he got left at the orphanage and why he instantly shifts to blaming Dohoon right after saving him and in the future it’s second nature at that point.
Also, the night of Dohoon’s welcome party he asks Seungmin did you talk to him first? I feel like he was trying to feel for whether Yuwon has changed or not. If you remember Yuwon’s last conversation with Seungmin (ch 32) Seungmin brings up how when he first started Mr oh kept making him do errands but Yuwon stood up to him and got chewed for it. He also in another chapter says he just rolls with the punches. Seungmin asks why he ever did that knowing he had a target on his back. This shows Yuwon really hasn’t changed he still moves without thinking just not when it came to Dohoon.
