Jinx fans are counting down the days as Jinx Chapter 88 approaches, ready to dive back into the intense world of MMA fighter Kim Dan and his complicated relationship with the mysterious Joo Jaekyung. This BL manhwa by Mingwa continues to deliver its signature mix of gritty action, emotional depth, and complex power dynamics that keeps readers hooked chapter after chapter.
What Happened in Jinx Chapter 87?
Jinx Chapter 87 is a dramatic episode because the repressed emotions of Jaekyung finally come out, and this is a new twist in his relationship with Dan. This chapter begins with a captivating fight as Gabriel is engaged with Jaekyung, thus indicating that he is not going to be lenient in the ring.
Following the fight, there comes a major scene in which Jaekyung picks Dan up in his arms, but with the fans observing that it does not feel very manly at all and underlines the smaller size of Dan and the strong stature of Jaekyung. This scene is representative of the fact that Jaekyung becomes more protective and there are certain underlying feelings he has been repressing.

In Jinx Chapter 87, Jaekyung is portrayed as a green flag, contrary to his previous actions, which reveals actual character growth. The concealed emotions have caught up with him, and it may open up a new stage where he would be forced to face the actual meaning of Dan to him.
Dan is already in a complicated situation and is faced with the burden of financial pressure due to medical bills and debts of his grandmother. These personal struggles are counterbalanced by the blossom of the relationship between the two leads in the story. At the end of Chapter 9, readers have the impression that they are being prepped on the verge of some significant events to come.
What will Happen in Jinx Chapter 88?
Jinx Chapter 88 will probably center on the events that transpired after the feelings of Jaekyung started seeking expression. The chapter can begin with Dan working through the importance of Jaekyung carrying him, an event that marked the beginning of a change in their relationship where they were dealing with one another instead of caring in a transactional relationship.
It is the fans who foretell that Jaekyung will find it hard to conceal his toughness since his suppressed feelings have been brought out. He may end up being more protective of Dan, which may actually result in him meddling with the financial difficulties the latter is experiencing, to the dismay of both.

The Jinx Chapter 88 might go further to have Jaekyung make real actions to assist Dan with the medical bills of his grandmother, not only as his physical therapist. The connection between the two leads seems to be set in the state of its evolution, and Chapter 88 may contain talks with more honesty. Having been locked up because of his debts and vulnerable status.
Considering the pattern of the series, this chapter will most likely strike a balance between the character development and the sports storyline that ensues. We could witness the next match preparation of Jaekyung, yet with new emotional interests that influence the performance and the way of thinking. The fact that Gabriel warns him that he will not spare him may add to the pressure.
