And coming back to the same town...with the same company...why would her father now assume she has no interest in the MC given she was sooooooo worried about him originally? So from this, we can logically deduce one of two things:
1. She full of shit.
2. Her father is not some triad boss who fucks up all men interested in his daughters.
It's definitely left me really thinking, when I did Kim's playthrough. There's a lot of questions.
Either:
- this is some really weird, intricate, and elaborate hoax/lie by Kim. The only question is why? And then why return years later? I haven't, as of yet, seen any hints or foreshadowing in her story that that's the case. ; or
- There is something real in her fear of her father.
Option 2 is far less convoluted and complex. Option 1 has way too many places for something in a fabricated story to go wrong. It just doesn't make sense that she'd organize this huge lie, just to leave or get away from the MC, and then come back, on purpose or inadvertently, years later.
It's just my mind, but my headcanon is that Kim was able to keep MC out of her father's notice while they were dating. He somehow caught wind of it, and that's when the threats from the father started. You can kind of see where her personality starts to change in the story, going from looking/acting happy, to much more reserved and pulled back as she's getting ready to leave.
There's a reason I call Kim's dad "Evil Samsung dad." She makes him sound like he's Triad/Yakuza (I'm not sure what the equivalent will be in Korea) and has all kinds of reach.
If you're scared for your partner's life, and run back home to keep them safe, you do not return to them years later if you haven't done anything to remove the threat. There's either more to it or bad storytelling, and I do not think Chaq is a bad storyteller.
If I remember correctly, didn't Kim's retelling say that she wasn't coming back for the MC. I thought she said she took any posting outside Korea and away from her father. She only realized it once it was closer to actually leaving where it was. I could be misremembering this as I haven't done her playthrough in a long while.
I'll have to do her playthrough now, just to confirm I'm remembering it all correctly. As all of this could be completely wrong in my mind...
