My Bias Gets on the Last Train is a popular romance manhwa centered around two music enthusiasts, Yeo-un Lee and Hae-in Shin. After coincidentally running into each other at the subway station multiple times, they finally start talking about the indie band Long Afternoon. Yeo-un, a college student, harbours a huge obsession for the band and begins to fall for the like-minded, elusive Hae-in, a woman with a guitar who always takes the last train with him. However, little does Yeo-un know, Hae-in wasn’t just a mutual Long Afternoon lover; she was Long Afternoon. Can she keep her secret from him? Let’s find out in My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 1-10!
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 1: Yeo-un Meets Another Fan
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 1 begins as Yeo-un notices the purple-haired girl with the guitar waiting for the late train. ‘It’s her again,’ he thinks to himself as he sits one bench away from her. Yeo-un watches her, trying to guess if she is a busker or a musician, when she catches him staring. Embarassed, he immediately looks away and hopes he didn’t ‘come off as a creep’. He consoles himself by remembering that she probably didn’t recognize him anyway. Even if, by coincidence, they always took the last train together.
Yeo-un puts in his earphones and plays ‘Dark Planet’ by Long Afternoon, his favourite artist. But when the sound comes through muffled, he turns the music up to full volume. Suddenly, the girl from the bench beside him yells in his ear. With a shock, Yeo-un realizes that his earphones weren’t connected at all and his music was playing loud enough for everyone to hear (everyone being only one other person). Yeo-un embarrassingly fumbles with his phone while the girl contemplatively watches him. “Do you like that song?” she asks curiously. When she tells him that she knows Long Afternoon too, he bursts out in euphoric joy. Yeo-un starts gushing about the band and its music, surprising her with his passion, and debates the reason behind their low popularity. Long Afternoon had never shown their faces or held live performances. They weren’t active on social media either.
She Knows More Than You Think
When the girl asks Yeo-un about his opinion on Long Afternoon’s life in the shadows, he admits that he’d love to meet the talent behind the music. On a different note, he adds that he likes the mystery behind their identity, too. “It’s nice to just watch them live life the way they want to,” he says, “I’m a fan of Long Afternoon just the way they are.”
The girl hides a smile. Out loud, she observes that they’d run into each other several times before. Yeo-un panics and decides to act innocently, clueless about the situation- but it doesn’t work. She immediately calls out his bluff, slyly noting that he always watched her. (Not so inconspicuous, are you Yeo-un?) The revelation that she knew he was staring at her all along hits Yeo-un like a bright flash of technicolor electricity. My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 1 is turning out to be really interesting.
Yeo-un, an Effective Middle Schooler
Later, Yeo-un stands in his waiter’s uniform, holding his head in dismay. He yells in frustration and causes the cafe owner, Ms. Oh, to come running to him. Yeo-un explains how the girl from the subway had caught him staring. He was worried that he might seem like a ‘weirdo’ stalker. Ms. Oh, an obsessed romcom fan, assures him that he’s fine and begins fantasizing about the love story yet to come. Yeo-un completely denies liking the subway girl in that way (what a middle-schooler), and explains that he had college and work to worry about already. He had no time for a relationship. He just wanted to be friends with her (like that ever works out). And despite his extremely convincing argument, Ms. Oh doesn’t buy it.
That night, Yeo-un walks to the subway in hopes of meeting her again. He decides to clear up any misunderstandings and then discuss Long Afternoon with a fellow fan. However, when he reaches the station, he finds a man asleep on his usual bench. What excuse would he have to start a conversation if he weren’t sitting beside her? He decides to stand and study instead.
A voice behind him calls out. Yeo-un turns around to face the purple-haired girl. Sitting on her bench, she looks at him weirdly for standing and pats the space next to her, concluding My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 1.
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 2: The Rhythm of Conversation
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 2 starts as Yeo-un hesitates to sit next to the girl, remembering an old memory of someone else, but eventually stiffly takes a seat. He consciously leaves an appropriate gap between them and awkwardly perches on the bench.
They begin to talk about Yeo-un’s part-time job at Ms. Oh’s cafe, and the subway girl concludes that he was still in college. Yeo-un asks about her work, and- after letting him run wild with his imagination- she explains her job as a studio manager.
She asks how he’d come across Long Afternoon, an underground indie band, amidst all his busy college work. Yeo-un describes the day he’d fallen sick and, since he lived alone, had to take care of himself. While trying to fall asleep, he’d played songs at random. And when ‘Dark Planet’ played by chance, he’d been hooked from the first note. The melody of the song had comforted him and finally sent him to sleep.
Suddenly, the last train is announced over the PA speakers. As she gets up, the girl tells him that she was sure Long Afternoon would appreciate his heartfelt story. Yeo-un, desperate to keep in touch with her, gives her his name, and before the train leaves, she tells him hers: Hae-in Shin.
Hae-in’s Secret
Later in her bedroom, Hae-in reflects on a memory of Yeo-un. One night on the last train, she’d noticed the wallet of a sleeping man on the subway floor. Before she could even think further, Yeo-un had already crossed the train and slipped the wallet back into the man’s pocket. That night, Hae-in had noticed that Yeo-un seemed like a good guy.
Hae-in wonders how the unexpectedly devoted Long Afternoon fan would react if he figured out the band’s real identity- her. Unbidden, a memory of her school days pops into her mind. All her classmates were laughing and texting behind her back. Hae-in groans at the mood-killing reminder of her past and decides to keep her identity a secret. Her job was to create music, not bask in the glory of fame. She drifts off to sleep under her covers, concluding My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 2.
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 3: A Chorus of Caramel
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 3 begins as Hae-in, sitting behind a desk in the music studio, ponders her next social media post. Two boys approach her to check out of the studio and book their next slot. When one of the duo asks Hae-in for her number, she bluntly turns him down (ooh, that’s gotta sting). Without a second thought, she watches them leave in embarrassment and begins wrapping up the studio.
Hae-in’s uncle, the studio’s owner, greets his niece. His topic of conversation? He slyly asks her why she’d rejected the boy from before, prying into her love life like a true relative. She casually explains that she hated texting online- and, more importantly, she didn’t like his music style. Hae-in’s uncle, mildly annoyed by her response, decides to leave his financial niece to her music. But before leaving, he gives her a small gift box to celebrate White Day (an East Asian holiday where men gift women).
Meanwhile, Yeo-un leaves the cafe after finishing another day’s work. Ms. Oh bids him farewell and deviously grins, saying, “And have a romantic trip home!” (much to Yeo-un’s perplexity).
A Romantic Trip Home
While he worries about his college work on the subway bench, Hae-in approaches Yeo-un and sits beside him. Yeo-un notices the gift bag in Hae-in’s hand and realizes that it is White Day. From that point onwards begins Yeo-un’s slow descent down a rabbithole into the dumps. Of course, Hae-in had ‘cool people’ surrounding her- she was such an amazing person. Why should he care that some guy gave her a gift?
Snapping him back to reality, Hae-in holds out the box of sweets to him. They could help him study; she didn’t like sweets anyway. When Yeo-un looks treats the gesture with visible discomfort and mutters something about ‘another guy’, Hae-in blankly tells him how the ‘another guy’ was her uncle. Red-faced with humiliation, Yeo-un immediately accepts the present without any further complaints (let’s not leave out the part where Hae-in calls him a ‘dummy’).
He convinces Hae-in to taste at least one of the handcrafted caramel candies inside. She agrees, closes her eyes, and opens her mouth- to Yeo-un’s shock. “Y-You want me to feed you?” he asks in bewilderment. Very carefully, he drops a caramel into her mouth. After just a brief moment of electricity, Hae-in loudly spits the candy out and causes Yeo-un to jump in surprise. She exclaims- blushing with disgust and embarrassment- about the extreme sweetness of the toffee.
The next morning, Yeo-un reluctantly drags himself out of bed. He lethargically debates skipping breakfast when his eyes land on the box of caramels. One bite and the overly sweet candy jolts him awake. My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 3 concludes as he notices a notification alert on his phone about Long Afternoon’s new post.
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 4: A Bold Move
With a cheerful buoyancy, Yeo-un bustles around the small cafe and serves the customers, beginning with My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 4. When Ms. Oh notices his unusual sunniness, Yeo-un explains that his favourite artist had finally posted on social media again, which hinted at a new song.
He gushes on about his sheer excitement when Ms. Oh cuts him off, asking about the progress of his relationship with Hae-in (relative or not, it seems prying into people’s love lives is a conventionality). When Yeo-un tells her that they’d exchanged names, she prods him for further details (You’re a waiter, serve the tea). Ms. Oh fantasizes about their k-drama worthy meet-cute but ultimately leaves disappointed after learning that there’s no more story left to hear.
Later, a man unobtrusively approaches the counter to place his order, his face ringing a bell in Yeo-un’s mind. Ms. Oh tells him that he was a regular customer by the name of Hyeonjae Seong. Immediately, Yeo-un realizes that he’d been familiar because he was a celebrity musician.
“Carpe Diem”
After grabbing his coffee, Hyeonjae gets into his car and drives away. Inside, he scrolls through Long Afternoon’s new post and decides to send the talented band a message about collaborating.
Meanwhile, Yeo-un walks towards the subway after wrapping up at the cafe. Walking under the faint glow of streetlights, he hopes that he’ll run into Hae-in again. He just had to talk to someone about Long Afternoon’s post! However, he arrives at a mostly empty subway station, with no sign of the enigmatic woman. Out loud, he wonders if he’d somehow driven her away when she walks up behind him. She gives him a teasing smile and says, “Were you disappointed because you thought you wouldn’t see me?”
Yeo-un blushes and tries to pinpoint why she seemed different. Aha! Was she drunk? Hae-in admits that since she’d wrapped up a big project, she’d treated herself to a small celebration. But before Yeo-un can truly talk to her, the last train is announced. He feels a sense of disappointment well up inside him and realizes he doesn’t want their conversation to end. Yeo-un decides to seize the moment and invites Hae-in out for another drink, concluding My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 4.
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 5: Midnight Beers in Bachelor Beds
Before Yeo-un can overthink his sudden idea to invite Hae-in out for a drink, she happily agrees, beginning My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 5.
Sitting shoulder-to-shoulder on the train seats, Yeo-un tries to force his middle-school butterflies away. Even so, he denies feeling any real attraction and dismisses his nervousness as the result of his abstinence from social outings. They get off the train near Yeo-un’s apartment and walk to a nearby pub of his choosing. Unfortunately, instead of open doors, they arrive to see the pub’s locked-down shutter and a note reading ‘Closed. For Lease.’ Horrified, Yeo-un scrimmages to find another nearby place. Hae-in, noticing his distressed state, comes up with an idea of her own.
A Toast to Celebrate
A few minutes later, she walks into his surprisingly neat and tidy bachelor pad. She makes herself at home on the floor with a can of beer. Before she relaxes, she makes sure to double-check if Yeo-un has a girlfriend she should be worried about. When he asks her the same question, she messes with him but insinuating that she had a foreign boyfriend named ‘Liam’. When Yeo-un gullibly walks right into her trap, she reveals that she’d been joking about Liam from Noasis, a famous singer.
A while later, Yeo-un gushes about all the hidden easter eggs within Long Afternoon’s latest social media post. While he deciphers every last line of code, Hae-in guiltily thinks about how she hadn’t put any thought into it. In the middle of his fanboy enthusiasm, he compares Hae-in and Long Afternoon’s similar voices. Although he eventually drops the matter, the shrewd observation puts her on high alert.
As the alcohol intoxication takes hold of her, Hae-in sprawls herself onto Yeo-un’s bed. “What if I just fall asleep… here on your bed?” she flirts, concluding My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 5.
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 6: Roses Are Red… Like Yeo-un’s Cheeks
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 6 begins as Hae-in pushes the idea of sleeping over further. She coyly tells Yeo-un that she was only joking about it if he wanted her to be. Drunken Hae-in was fearless and flirtatious, and wasn’t going to let Yeo-un’s furious blush fade away anytime soon. After deciding to let her stay the night, Yeo-un heads out for a quick errand run to get her the essentials (including ‘that’, as quoted by Hae-in herself, since she was ‘cutting it close’).
Meanwhile, at the grocery store, Hae-in’s blush deepens (the pink colouring is just a perpetual hue now) as he stops by the women’s section. He cluelessly picks up a few pads- assuming that that’s what she meant- and turns to leave. Before he can, something else catches his eye. Something that reddens his cheeks (we’re testing the limits of blushing today). He didn’t want to rush things, but he realized that he wouldn’t refuse if Hae-in decided to make a move.
An Unfortunate Incident (And More Blushing)
Back at his apartment, Yeo-un finds Hae-in fast asleep in the sweatpants he’d donated to her. He wakes her up to give her a blanket when she suddenly pulls him down, saying, ‘You’re so handsome! Totally my type!” Seconds later, she’s snoring again. But Yeo-un… well, he’s wide awake.
The next morning, Yeo-un wakes up with a sore neck from passing out on his couch. He looks around for Hae-in and finds a note instead. Yeo-un realizes that she’d cleaned up before leaving… and then he notices it. A small box with a heart on it was lying in the middle of the floor. Yeo-un notices the contraceptive and immediately panics. There’s no way Hae-in wouldn’t have seen it. Now she’d think he was definitely a ‘total creep’. That night, Yeo-un nervously approaches Hae-in in the subway, concluding My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 6.
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 7: Apologizing in Harmony
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 7 begins as Yeo-un wonders whether he should make up an excuse for the contraceptives. He eventually decides to lay all his cards down and come clean about the incident. Before he can open his mouth, Hae-in speaks first.
She apologizes for her invasive and insouciant behaviour with him- not just last night, but every time they’d met- and tells him that she wants to take some space to redefine their boundaries. Hae-in admits that his heart-box had briefly shocked her, but it was all her fault. She’d been suggestive all night. She explains that she hated her heedless and nightmarish actions, had left early out of shame, and ‘loathed’ herself for being a terrible guest.
One Heartfelt Conversation Later
Yeo-un watches her honestly apologize to him and realizes that his initial impression of a cool, carefree, and confident girl was incomplete. He finds this new side of her to be completely adorable and tries to stifle his laughter. But when she decides to stop coming to the train station, Yeo-un loses all his good-natured humour. With a hint of desperation, he abruptly tells her not to leave.
Hae-in looks a little baffled, and Yeo-un tries to remedy the effect of his outburst. He explains that he wanted someone with whom he could discuss Long Afternoon’s new song. Passionately, he convinces her not to change stations until she finally relents.
That night, Hae-in gratefully thinks about Yeo-un’s friendship. Her thoughts eventually spiral into a whirlpool of embarrassment as she remembers the night before. Flopping onto her bed, she reprimands herself for acting like an insufferable coquette. She checks the messages on her phone and notices a text from Hyeonjae Seong, concluding My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 7.
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 8: An Impromptu Interview
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 8 begins as Hae-in, while eating ‘hellfire’ level spicy food with her uncle, debates Hyeonjae’s collaboration offer. Her uncle recognizes the incredible opportunity and wants to advise her to ‘go full-on rock and own it. However, knowing his niece’s history, he doesn’t say anything and lets her voice her concerns about the limelight. He tells her to connect with him, nevertheless, even if she didn’t end up collaborating. Maybe talking to another talented artist could help her shrug off the pain she still carried.
That night, Hae-in walks on the street, still pondering the offer. She wonders how all the celebrities and her favourite stars handled the unavoidable scrutiny. ‘If only I could borrow just a little bit of that confidence…’ she thinks.
A Pick For Luck
Moments later, she stands in front of Yeo-un, who squishes his own cheeks-and wonders what on earth he was doing. He explains that he’d attended a career fair and was following the interviewing tips he’d gotten from it. Hae-in flips through his notes and asks him if he wants to practice. She reads his first rule, ‘Don’t break eye contact with the interviewer,’ and decides to play a game. She’d grill Yeo-un, and he’d have to answer without looking away.
After hesitantly agreeing, Yeo-un puts on his serious interview face. Hae-in analyses his I’m-ready-for-business look and almost forgets their game while thinking about Yeo-un in formals. She snaps to attention with her first question- When was your last kiss? Yeo-un stands up in outrage, yelling about the proper workplace conduct, while Hae-in laughs. She smiles and pulls a purple guitar pick from her pocket. Calling it her lucky charm, Hae-in gives it to him for extra help during his interview.
Later that night, Hyeongjae Seong reads Long Afternoon’s reply. They would consider the collaboration only after a face-to-face interview. The musician ponders the ‘peculiar’ personality, concluding My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 8.
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 9: A Jam Session
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 9 begins as Hae-in arrives at Hyeongjae’s building for the meeting. The musician greets her outside and, after asking a few questions, becomes impressed with her solo artist situation. However, he quickly notices that she is a tough nut to crack. Despite all his success, she seemed generally unimpressed and uninterested in his starting label. On the contrary, Hae-in had stayed up all night and was exhausted. She didn’t mean to be aloof- she was just tired.
Going over the contract, Hyeogjae lets Hae-in know that he wanted to collaborate with her, not for commercial success, but because he genuinely wanted to introduce her talent to a bigger audience. Hae-in considers his flexibility in allowing her to choose to keep herself anonymous and wonders whether it was just a ‘business tactic’.
A Note to Her Fans
They settle down, and Hyeongjae plays her a small demo. The music begins to flow through the speakers, filling the room with a melody, but Hae-in is struck with an angry realization. He already had a fully produced track and just wanted her vocals for the song. “It needs my sound, too!” she says, standing up in protest. Hae-in tells him to step aside and mercilessly deletes all the unnecessary parts (Hyeongjae is horrified) before she begins to work her magic on the track.
Hae-in remembers the light in Yeo-un’s eyes whenever he talked about Long Afternoon. She straps her electric guitar on with the sole intent of creating something just for her hopeful fans. Hyeongjae watches her with utter fascination and analyses, ‘She’s naturally pulling the song into her own musical space, while keeping its individuality.’ He recognizes her raw talent in an instant and understands that they are about to create a masterpiece.
Meanwhile, Yeo-un stands up to take a break from his work and stretches his stiff limbs when his phone dings with a notification. My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 9 concludes as Yeo-un runs towards the subway station to ask Hae-in to join his listening party for Long Afternoon’s newly announced upcoming song.
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 10: A Long Afternoon Listening Party
My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 10 begins as Yeo-un explains the concept behind listening parties to Hae-in. She, in her usual sly fashion, asks Yeo-un if he was just looking for an excuse to drink with her. Although he exclaims that he was truly excited about Long Afternoon’s new single, he doesn’t deny the statement either. She agrees to attend his party but realizes that she has a meeting with Hyeongjae that day. Although Yeo-un, being very considerate, understands her busy schedule, he looks like ‘a puppy that didn’t get to go on its walk’.
Hae-in compensates for the plan by offering to drink together after his midterms ended. They were friends, they didn’t need a special occasion to hang out.
The Wait Is Over
A few days later, Yeo-un’s midterms finally came to an end. Although one of his colleagues invites him to a party, Yeo-un declines- he has to go to work. Besides, Long Afternoon’s song was released, and he wanted to savour the experience.
Seo-un gets through his entire day with a big grin on his face, until he finally reaches his house to listen to the track. He orders food and takes a quick shower, but he couldn’t shake a strange feeling- today was supposed to be one filled with excitement, but why did he feel lonely? While he ponders these depressing shower thoughts, his doorbell starts ringing repeatedly. Annoyed, Seo-un runs to the door and swings it open- only to see Hae-in standing outside.
Holding up a bag of drinks, she explains that she’d gotten off work early and came for his listening party. Hae-in also points out that he’d answered the door in his underwear, leading him to embarrassingly run away and pull a pair of pants on. My Bias Gets on the Last Train Chapter 10 concludes as she decides to use his shower before they get the party started.
