@Xelda That's not usually how things go. (well, I mean it does in stories, but not in real life) It honestly would've been a stretch if either of the friends had managed to track him down to the random building he came across which was unlocked. If they had followed him, it would've made more sense to join in the party rather than watch him eat for several hours and not say anything. The catholic guy catching on could've been a good plot point, but it makes sense that he didn't notice.
I felt like it was a solid character moment for Hooni to begin to look at what he really wanted, silently realizing he didn't actually want to die. He still has a road ahead of him before he can be happy with himself, but he's actually taken a big step here. I'm not sure about this only being season 1. Worried the story might drag if there's nothing new to bring to the table in season 2. We'll see.
