Warning: This article contains spoilers for Eaternal Nocturnal Chapter 11, "Recluse," by instantmiso and Paul Jun available in English on Webtoon.
Eaternal Nocturnal is a sweet webtoon that didn't seem to have stressful problems, initially at least. Finding a job is especially hard for Eve because of her chronic insomnia, so her friend's job offer seemed the right career path for her. However, she didn't know that accepting that work opportunity would bind her under the strict surveillance of her friend's manager. Chapter 11 revealed that Eve's present nightmare was actually related to Dae.
The repercussions of letting Cherri fake her singing using her voice had begun to haunt Eve. Cherri's manager's words echoed in her head, constantly reminding her that she already signed away her rights over her voice to Cherri. Meanwhile, Dae was also facing a problem of his own as his brother was still pestering him, asking for Dae to talk to him. Ultimately, his friends managed to convince him into finally heeding his brother's call, so he set up a meeting with him. The next panel then showed that the recipient of Dae's messages was Cherri's sketchy-looking manager.
As Eve was struggling to not get fired from her jobs, Cherri, Eve's friend, was having a hard time retaining her online followers. However, a certain video of her singing ignited her stardom once again. The only problem was that she was actually just lip-syncing to Eve's singing. The solution she came up with was to hire Eve to be her voice. Eve thought that there wasn't any problem since she would be killing two birds with one stone, getting a job, and helping her friend.
She didn't expect Cherri's manager to be micromanaging her every move though. Worse was that she no longer seemed to have any freedom to do what she wished. Cherri's manager went as far as telling her to remove a video of her singing that she uploaded years ago and even distance herself from her friend. Clearly, things weren't looking so great for her. The situation turned out to be even more complicated though as it was revealed that Dae was actually the brother of Cherri's manager.
Fans know that Dae was actively avoiding his brother. Their relationship isn't very good, and there's a good chance it has something to do with their past. However, this revelation not only hints at a further explanation of Dae's background but also to the two main characters meeting again. There's a good chance that Eve won't recognize Dae's human form, but the same can't be said for the Dream Eater who's been constantly lurking around Eve every night.
Eaternal Nocturnal's recent revelation is an unprecedented twist. Naturally, Cherri's manager being Dae's brother will greatly influence the story from henceforth. But as to how it will, fans can only stay tuned to future chapters of the webtoon.
