What Happened in Endless Yearning Chapter 16? (Recap)
- Shifting Dynamics: When Do-young, who was enjoying themselves so happily, saw genuine smiles from the Ki-hyeon around him to see his inexplicable ease, the triangle became even harsher between Do-young, Ki-hyeon, and Ga-on.
- Ga-on’s True Colors: We saw the cracks in how Ga-on has been portrayed as the “perfect savior” too; heavily implying that her friendship with Do-young is based on a need to be better than them and feel like they are in control of those around them.
- The Pawn: Ki-hyeon still keeps using Do-young as a stepping-stone towards Ga-on, but is he giving Do-young more thought in his own mind than he’s giving him credit?
- The Cliffhanger: Do-young was left with an uneasy final scene though, struggling with her ingrained hyper-attention on Ki-hyeon, a painful reality that was eventually dawned upon by Do-young.
What Are the Spoilers for Endless Yearning Chapter 17?
- A Spark of Obsession: As Do-young tries to set boundaries, fans eagerly wait to see and see Ki-hyeon experience a true moment of jealousy or possessiveness with him in Chapter 17.
- Ga-on’s Interference: While Ki-hyeon’s attention ebbs and flows from one object to the next, we expect Ga-on to see the slight change in his. Because she truly believes she needs to be everyone’s focus, she will likely attempt to work things out so that they are separated.
- Do-young’s Realization: The chapter that follows may have one of Do-young’s great breakthroughs as she chooses to end her life as a second-class citizen and are now the aggressors in their game.
- The Yandere Awakening: With the author’s known area of interest, it seems as though there is substantial groundwork for Ki-hyeon’s inevitable obsessive regret and as Chapter 17 draws near, it might be the ultimate turning point that places him on that dark path.
