why wont the author gaslight us with small fluffy scenes like cmon...atleast try to manipulate us
I absolutely agree! It's such a stretch to even say both of them like one another when it's been nothing but Jaekyung being either a full on prick, Dan crying about his trauma and Jaekyung, or smut...literally nothing else could have made me understand how either of them likes one another.
I only moment that could have changed the direction of their relationship would have been the board game chapter, I actually chuckled at their moments but only for that to be squashed with Jaekyung running away then forcing Dan to once again have sex in the pool area （￣へ￣）
Oh yeah I forgot about the board game, there was so much toxicity that it drowned out the 0.1% of moment of fluff both of them had with each other Σ( ￣□￣||)
It's kind of hilarious when you think about how hard we have to try to find a ounce of fluff with Jaekyung and Dan just to be let down so quickly that it feels like it was a fever dream (￣∇￣")
Because it may give us whiplash if Jaekyung actually smiles or laughs like a human being even for 0.1 seconds. I bet the author is gonna wait another 10+ chapters before the man might show us some humanity
Which is why everyone is rooting for him i guess, he’s not as psychotic as we thought he’d be, just your run of the mill dude, the fact that he never wanted to tell Dan abt seeing him tied up and blind folded like that shows he’s actually not a bad guy. He’s not even trying to manipulate or take advantage of Dan, and thts great tbh
The ML is a bright neon red flag with a mean and cruel streak, he’s possessive and controlling over Dan and we’re suppose to take that as him falling in love, okokok fine, I’ll accept the flawed manhwa logic BUT ATLEAST give us more chapters of them being together in a way that isn’t TOXIC and DYSFUNCTIONAL. there’s not a SINGLE panel where they could’ve organically fallen in love, and somehow were expected to think Dan is falling for him after all that??? sure he must be ‘grateful’ cause he’s a traumatized kind hearted pipsqueak that’s gone through so much shit in life, but REALLY?
Same goes for the ML, other than that moment when he’s surprised that Dan would use his one wish on potato (it’s likely the ML likes the fact that Dan is selfless, most narcissistics are intrigued by kind people like that) there was no other moment that could justify him falling in love. It’s all straight up power, control and lust so far.
