Thank you my friend, I needed this!!! This chapter was too much - the way they look at each other, the way Hyeok warmly touches Inseo's face, Inseo's boiling passion for Hyeok, it is so obvious how deeply they want each other and care for each other. I just want them to say it to each other, leaving no room for doubt.
Bestie, yes. The way you describe it is beautiful and absolutely, 100% true ╥﹏╥. The ‘no room for doubt’ made me so warm;-;.
It was a pleasure my friend- thank you for reading! I really wanted people to know Inseo’s words too so I’m happy it was shared with youヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
It's not suprise for me. I mean I had feelings that he already been in love with him from the start. But it's relieve now. Hopefully he is going to tell him truth soon. I mean I want at least some kind of frankness. If you look almost every mangas are just about people who try to hide their own feelings.
Thank you for this!!! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Thank you for reading, my friendヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
So to start off where chapter 24 left us, Hyeok asks Inseo, “Why does it bother him?” Bc Inseo got really mad at the boss and the possibility that the boss might steal Hyeok away from him.
So Inseo begins to wonder and he says that he doesn’t know- he’s just angry. AND THEN, Hyeok is like, “To me, it’s seems like you’re jealous bc you like me.” And then Inseo realises that he was in fact jealous (Brushing over the “you like me” bit) and starts apologising to Hyeok realising his mistake.
Hyeok then reminisces to their past about how Inseo would always get jealous whenever Hyeok would make new friends- Hyeok thought it’s bc Inseo wants to be the centre of attention- bc Hyeok notes that he himself is a friendly, charismatic person similar to Inseo. I feel like he brushed it off growing up.
Hyeok then asks again, “Are you jealous?” And Inseo says that he wasn’t ‘ignoring’ (TN: may be a different word) him, he was just afraid he was gonna mess around with a “weirdo.” And then Hyeok is like, “Isn’t that what you’ve been doing to me and other people?” And Inseo says, “Do you think I’m that trash?” And Hyeok’s like, “You must’ve thought I was trash (bc Inseo was afraid he was gonna get with the boss).” And Inseo again apologises.
They’re then back sitting by the bed and they start speaking about who they can meet while they’re with each other. Hyeok apologises for hitting Inseo to which Inseo replies that he deserved it. And then, Hyeok says something along the lines of, “So we’ll be doing this exclusively until we’re dead.” Hyeok then thinks, as Inseo starts to initiate a kiss, that he wanted to say, “Until I find someone to date” but he knew it was going to hurt (Side note: I think he thought it would hurt himself(Hyeok) if he said it but also Inseo- I’ll explain at the end of this*) if he said it so he chose not to.)
It’s then night time- given by the amount of condom wrappers there are on the floor- they went at it for a while. Hyeok’s asleep but Inseo’s just staring at him as they cuddle, thinking back to the times Hyeok has asked him if he liked him and get ready-
Inseo says, “Yi-Hyeok, I- How can I not like you? Sleep well. Dreaming of me. Today, I like you, Yi-Hyeok-ah.” And kisses him sweetly. (The ‘How can I not like you?’ And ‘Today, I like you’ was bolded to emphasise the intensity of Inseo’s words;-;<3)
BESTIES, INSEO WASNT OBLIVIOUS TO HIS FEELINGS. We all knew by know that Inseo has always had feelings for Hyeok and it was simple to assume he was oblivious to it due to his nature (a nature provided from Hyeok’s perspective!) So, all this time, Inseo knew he liked Hyeok. Omg- I thought this might be a possibility but it’s so shocking. Makes sense as to why it turned him on so much picturing Hyeok say, “I like you Inseo.” Omg my whole heart is feeling some intense way for Inseo…Having feelings for someone for that long- wow;-;
*If Hyeok is saying that it would hurt- he could mean himself or Inseo bc what if (and it seems like) Hyeok has begun to realise that Inseo does have some sort of feelings towards him. I think this is a possibility but I also think that Hyeok is also slowly coming to terms with the fact that he may also be catching feelings for Inseo.;-;
What if Hyeok isn’t really asleep tho? That would be wild
What an eventful chapter, my friends. I feel so overwhelmed with warm emotions for them;-;
Edit: I’m so warmly happy for them. I feel like there was a lot of clarity and silent movement this chapter ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Edit 2: Rereading this from the beginning after knowing Inseo’s always known his feelings and all the times we’ve seen Hyeok from his perspective- it really slaps differently bc you can see that initially, Inseo didn’t want to go further (bc as his mother said in ch 2, “You’ll never find a friend like him”), he thought they should stop but he let himself be free with Hyeok;-; Inseo’s such a precious character in my eyes now;-; it also makes sense as to why in ch 6, Inseo had that really pained look when he asked if Hyeok regretted what they did;-;
