ch 417 spoilers ! talking about eugene's relationship with mandeok and cap guy!
damn it eugene i knew i shouldnt have put much faith in u at all considering the morals u have shown to have so far but im still upset 💔
anyways im crying bc it looks like mandeok, yuseong, and eugene arent besties after all 💔💔💔
yuseong and eugene especially have a pretty..... questionable relationship. it Looks like yuseong cares about eugene but i dont know if thats out of obligation either from himself or eugene making him think that way or if he genuinely worries for eugene as his twin :(
like look at the panic on his face when he hears news of eugene being hurt 😭😭💔
on a different note, eugene's response here is giving red flags 🤨 again idk if its out of genuine love and comfort as yuseong's twin or if its just a way to keep yuseong in his control 😭😭😭😭😭
either way, im 99% sure whatever's going on isnt healthy bc eugene is definitely taking advantage of yuseong who seems to have like,, a learning disability,, its just not a good look.
UGH PTJ JUST GIVE US THEIR BACKSTORY 💔‼️
and about mandeok. look at these parallels
[puts my head in my hands] the symbolisms.... the word choices..
blue tinted. jerry and jake facing each other, showing trust, care, and respect for one another. jake being reassuring to jerry about his safety and telling jerry he leaves the street to him. as a friend.
red tinted. mandeok standing behind eugene who's busy looking away, trying to aim for a goal using whatever means possible. eugene shrugging off any possible concerns mandeok may have, requesting he does his job. as a subordinate.
sigh. at the end of the day, mandeok and yuseong seem to be okay with working under eugene so thats something i guess. still, i wonder how much eugene considers them friends bc he at least seems to trust them the most out of any of his workers. his twin makes sense but it seems like mandeok he got the loyalty of either thru school as a classmate or he just. picked mandeok up from somewhere by noticing his talent for fighting ?? 😭
who knows. will it ever be revealed? i hope so.
anyways once again im ignoring canon and will continue to have these 3 be besties in my head 💪💖
what is that man up to. idk whats going on and it's 100% bc im having difficulty grasping lookism's current gang war situation but also eugene's motives for his goals is still shrouded in mystery ??
and i still can't tell if he cares for mandeok and cap guy as true friends instead of chess pieces yet. his scene with mandeok in the beginning of ep 412 would've been touching if it didn't sound weirdly manipulative ?? 💀😭
maybe im overthinking but his choice of words just seems weird. like... he's apologizing, making a small comment of doubt, and then pressing mandeok a little by asking, "you can do it well, right?" it all sounds? kinda condescending? even if its said in a soft tone? it's like he's trying to elicit a certain response from mandeok to ensure something.
(side note 1: the fact that mandeok hates fighting is interesting. does he even want to be a "bad guy"? is he doing "bad stuff" because eugene is his "friend" and he wants to help? or does he hate fighting in a "fighting is tiresome, i'd rather talk things out way" ??
side note 2: eugene worrying about mandeok the most out of everyone is also interesting. does this imply cap guy is stronger than mandeok?)
after mandeok destroys the tennis ball and his racket as he confirms he can control his strength, all eugene has to say is "it's indeed worrying." what's worrying, bro. mandeok's strength? or are you still doubting him?????
also.
did i just forget or is this the first time eugene mentioned getting released from prison?????? i literally have no memory of him ever mentioning him having a history of going to jail ??? 😭😭😭
