Midnight Poppy Land 89: Heated (with Jax and Shirin)

Midnight Poppy Land 89: Heated (with Jax and Shirin)

We see how the burglar got away from Gyu - by jumping into the river and speeding away on a speedboat. Very subtle. We discuss what these new details mean. (Hint: we’re confused.)   

Gyu, disheveled, shares how he had to convince the police not to come up to Poppy’s apartment. In his great appreciation, Tora asks Gyu why he was asleep at his post. Gyu defends himself by saying he was tired from all his part-time jobs, and Tora tells him he should have come to him for money. Gyu doesn’t want to be a charity case.  

While Poppy checks her drawer for Tora’s ring and bracelet, Gyu and Tora’s arguments escalates, and Tora slams Gyu into the wall, breaking Poppy’s flowerpot. Poppy doesn’t know what to do but Gyu (respectfully) tells her to stay out of it. They fight some more, and we see how Gyu had his leg broken last time.  

We discuss this fight and I share a possibly unpopular opinion.  

Poppy yells at them to stop, and before Tora goes outside for a smoke, he asks her if she still wants to stay with him. She agrees, and he has a sad look, which we pick apart. When Tora leaves, Poppy’s legs start shaking, and she sits down while Gyu cleans up and rants about Tora, while simultaneously defending him.   

Tora comes in and he and Gy banter while letting Poppy pack her “lady things;” we sense that Tora feels bad. He also indirectly apologizes. Poppy overhears Tora telling Gyu that he told her enough to keep from dumping him, implying he sees them as being in a relationship.   

Later, at his house, Tora approaches Poppy after a shower, showing us more of him than we’ve ever seen before. We discuss how it would feel to have sexual contact after the crazy, heated day they’ve had.
