Yeah, Hobin beat his bully to the brink of death because of how pissed off he was from messing with his mom. I have high hopes he will use the full strength of the techniques though it's definitely going to be after something like Lee betraying his newest friend (The one that likes to eat a lot). Just like how Tahoon got reminded of his best friend dying, I feel like Hobin will have a similar moment.
It's possible Bomi gets used, too. These sorts of manhwa/manga reaaalllly like having the love interest kidnapped and threatened by thugs, so it's possible Lee tries to use her to get to him. There was sort of a bait and switch with Man-Gi earlier in the story, and it happened to the other streamer girl (but she got rescued by boxer man), but I dunno, I expect that sort of thing to happen in these stories.
Though honestly on the topic of Bomi, it's pretty rare but I actually kind of wish Gaeul 'won.' She's just insanely cute, love how she speaks and her body language. I do feel kinda bad for her, it seems like eventually maybe something will happen between her and cameraman, but the author's being reaaaallly slow on that. He did actually end up being a pretty standup guy, as weak as he is.
Honestly, I just really want to see Hobin have some serious rematches with Moonsuk, Taehoon, maybe even face Gracie. The more I think about it the more I kinda feel like the story went in a kind of meh direction with even more of a focus on crime, or at the very least, that it just went with the Lee crap again.
