And it all comes down to this HOW BADLY WAS YEONG INJURED?

Yeong was shot from a very close distance. In one of the shots you can literally see blood coming out with the bullets. That means the shots were serious.

He also took multiple bullets. I even remember pausing the scene and counting the bullet holes in his back.

So Yeong could have been very seriously injured.

But at the same time, how serious were his injuries really? They can’t be too light because he fainted. His hands are bloody, but is that actually his blood?

People can faint even if they aren’t fatally injured. For example, Eun-sup fainted when he got shot even though his injury wasn’t that severe.

So maybe Yeong fainted because of pain and exhaustion.

But then another question appears: how did he survive long enough for Gon to get him out?

Gon first had to kill his uncle. That alone takes time. After that he has to run back to where Yeong is while also avoiding the royal guards.

When Gon gets inside, he doesn’t immediately know where Yeong is because Yeong is further in the back. So he probably panics and searches for him. It might not take very long, but it’s still time passing.

When he finally finds Yeong, Yeong is already unconscious. Gon probably tries to wake him up or at least checks if he’s still alive.

But after that Gon still has to carry Yeong to the horses and escape. And eventually he has to take Yeong back through the timeline.

The magic flute is whole now, so it works differently than before. Even if the flute sends him back to his timeline instantly, what if they appear somewhere like the middle of the forest? Royal guards could notice them.

A helicopter could be brought in, but landing one would take time. They would need to clear a patch of forest first, and that whole process isn’t fast.
