V MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY SURVIVED IN THE SECRET ENDINGS?!

There’s several hints dropped through the first half that strongly hint that he might actually have survived.



After Saeran’s gunshot this conversation occurs:



V:….No…

Saeran:God…I… I ended it. I ended it…

Believer:Savior, should we get rid of all of them?

Rika:Ah….

Rika:Ha…. ah….

V:…Rika.

Rika;…Are…

Are-are you leaving…?

V:Don’t cry…

Rika:Are you leaving?

V:Rika… I’m always…with you…

V:….Like the sun.

Rika:Ha….

V:Love of my soul… Rika.

Rika:Ah… Aaaaaaarrrghhh!!!



This means that the gunshot didn’t kill V instantly. He was most likely bleeding like Saeyoung. Note that Saeyoung was unconscious during this, so he never knew his brother shot someone. Very shortly after this, C&R’s security rushes in and rescues everyone. Saeyoung survives, but V…



Zen: And V… committed suicide…!?

Zen: I mean, what in the world…

Zen: Damn it…

Zen: I can’t believe he just left like that…!



This is odd. V was shot from a certain distance and not in the head but the autopsy report turns out to be a suicide. Saeyoung couldn’t have falsified it to protect Saeran. He never saw his brother shot anyone and he was carried to the hospital unconscious and unable to type due to the injury suffered in his arm. Jaehee even states he needs to undergo physical therapy to recover.



This leaves the question. Who faked V’s suicide and why?

Zen already knows about mint eye but notes Jumin and Jaehee are still full of secrets. Then he says this:



Jaehee: Zen…

Zen: You don’t think he’ll come back some day, do you?

Zen: Maybe he’s alive somewhere…!



However, Jaehee cuts Zen’s hopes with the fact there is a body this time around unlike Rika’s fake funeral. But! There’s a strong possibility that the body might be a fake. Someone like Jumin would have enough power to fake V’s death and avoid the whole RFA to look into the matter further by arranging a fake body. Even though Zen already knows about the existence of Mint Eye and Rika’s status, he still says this by the end:



Zen: So there is some ginormous secret you’re hiding, right? haha;;



Hmmn…. 🤔 Suspicious, he already knows about Mint Eye, what other secrets could be there? Then the chatroom cuts to V’s funeral.



Note that Korean funerals aren’t open casket and the body isn’t on display. A picture of the deceased is set on the table. So the RFA knew there was a body but couldn’t confirm it was their V’s.

There’s also this very cryptic line Jumin says during the funeral:



“Jumin: Humans love, hate, kill… and then love again the pioneers.”



???



There was no reason for Jumin to protect Saeran, he barely knew him. It’s impossible the autopsy report returned a suicide, and since Saeyoung was unconscious Jumin would be the only one capable of faking it. But why? Is it possible that like Zen says, V is alive somewhere? Perhaps Jumin faked the papers in an impulse to protect V from Rika or was afraid Saeyoung might go out of his way to take revenge on him?

… or was V part of something bigger that Jumin had to protect him from ?

V had connections with a certain private agency after all.



I highly recommend to play the last episodes of the first part of the secret endings. There’s without a doubt something fishy here.



And let’s not forget Choi mother was hinted to have been murdered by Rika in the SEs.



Jaehee;Even though she’s unable to speak (Rika), it is clear she committed a crime.

Jumin;…According to what I’ve found, their biological mother’s suicide may be related to this.

Jaehee;If that’s true… that’s very shocking.

Jumin;We can’t pardon her crimes. No matter how great my resources or power may be, this is on a completely different scale.
