Otornim! Hello!! Okay so first, regarding the challenge of yours HAHAHAHA, I officially give up na. These past few days, naiisip ko sya actually pag nakatunganga lang sa wall. Pag walang ginagawa. But my thoughts keep circling back to "Issa confessed to Red day/s before Red collapsed and got hospitalized. Red was pulling all nighters, slept maybe around 2-3AM under the influence of Zolpidem, sleep walked and then met Issa. Then collapsed early in the morning in her doorsteps as she tried to get back inside." But they're just speculations, and some parts don't even fully make sense to me XD. Nia is twisted, too. So she could actually know about the confession, even partially. And the VC the moment Red woke up could be pre-recorded. The call log to Joyce on August 20th is very suspicious too. Could be Issa's way to indirectly check up on Red. Even the Instagram post... It feels like Issa is trying hard to actually make Red think the confession never happened. Knowing Issa, she won't repeat herself. So even if she really did confess, she won't admit it, cuz that would mean confessing AGAIN. She doesn't like showing any signs of vulnerability either (tho recent chapters could disprove this). And she wants Red to take her seriously. So, it could be her way too to test Red's real feelings for her.
And alsoooooo, otornim, I'm actually planning on self-studying nihonggo too these past few days. Just got interested and really like that it's a lot more challenging and NICHE, than say mandarin (there's lots of Fil-Chis here soo) or spanish (shares deep roots w/ tagalog, hence it's much easier to learn). Advice or recommendations po coming from a Nihonggo trilingual like you would be very much appreciated hehe.
