Guys what does the panel "Minseok throwing the button he got from Soohyun" means like i fe...

My personal interpretation is that Soohyun's button is a representation of his feelings towards Soohyun.

I remember his question:
"Wait, what is 'this'? How long have I been holding onto 'this'?" in Chapter 34.
If you think about it that way, it's quite literal.

So, when he threw Soohyun's button, it means he gave up his own feelings and is no longer holding onto them. This happens right after he realizes that Soohyun has already settled and is content with his own life.

ngl i wouldn't mind an AU where it's minseok x soohyun

felt the tension when minseok bit soohyun...

like romantic feelings? if yes, the author mentioned in the qna that minseok feels weird abt dating ppl that is older or younger than him.. sooooooooooooooooooo

TAN is a great storyteller, but if it was Byeonduck or Koogi or Harada, they wouldn't hesitate to use minseok in a heart wrenching jealousy related plot or even go full yandere. these authors have no mercy

Honestly, it could be anything, including romantic or platonic. The author really leaves everything open to the reader's interpretation. That's why the author only wrote "Precious Hoobae" in Minseok's relationship introduction to Soohyun - as subtle as possible. (Tho Soohyun find him annoying)

But I can tell the key element that Minseok felt is curiosity, since it is in his nature as a reporter. However, from this initial curiosity, it could lead to anything. Imo.

This, i couldnt agree more

but hey, you'll never be curious about someone if they didnt spark your interest, soooo
I mean, curiosity about another person doesnt arise out of nowhere. there has to be some initial factor that draws your attention and makes you interested in learning more about them

THATS THE ONE! also there was a part where Minseok pulled Soohyun when they got out of the elevator. Minseok seemed so judgmental towards Soohyun after learning that Soohyun had spent a night with Eunsung. Even Soohyun called him out, saying "I'm not even cheating on you or anything, why are you so mad?"

if minseok wasn't so addicted to gossip and finding secrets of other people, he maybe would have realized that he may be developing feelings for soohyun

Good point! Thats another way to say he really is confused about his own thoughts. At this point, I'm really convinced that bro doesnt seem aware of his own feelings
Thats why he wasn't even aware of when he started holding Soohyun's button, if the button really represents his feelings, just like @All Hail Yato explained

Eunsung : "is it really me, or Soohyun that you are curious about?"

EUNSUNG FVCKING KNEW IT! and dude was always clueless and go with "i wAnt a goSsip, im dA rEporTer, y'knOww" sh!t.
Shouldve smack that head of his
