What a beautiful and wonderful review, thank you for inputs from other series too and how it connects so well. I believe they too are souls ment to be how they transcend thro lifetimes. Jooin is the one who wished for Mong to be human and even said "what are we if not the best of mates" it's truely wonderful
Beautiful, I'm with you! Since I'm starting to view J & C as soulmates I dont even care if Cain tries to make career or not, I dont think it would fulfill him. If it fulfills him to be with Jooin then so be it. He had a great successful future ahead of him back in the US but he still insisted on finding Jooin, so I dont think he'd want to go back at any point
Ok. So, I decided to forget everything I've read of this story: chapters and its characters. To make a decision based solely on this one chapter (92).
We have Jooin, who blushed at the idea that Cain waited for him. I think he asked out of courtesy what he was thinking so hard about. It made me assume that if Cain had answered with a "nothing," perhaps Jooin would've told him his decision (for time and growth [like in "dangerous convenience store"]) but I could be wrong. Also, my heartache when Jooin said, "Just like mother said... time waits for no one." Because we first see this sign as him turning a new leaf and wanting for the other person to take action, thus we are shown Cain spooning Jooin in order for Jooin to fall asleep peacefully. Reminding us of a worried child who needed a comforted warmth of another to fall asleep. Then, we get a story about a conscious beast (wolf-dog) who one day met a human. Maybe it's only me, but when we were first introduced to Cain and his "I'm your dog" ideology I was off put. But after this chapter I can see how the beast grew attached and later on developed feelings for said human. If you think about it chimpanzees and dolphins are able to "developed feelings for humans" (articles and research based off). Anyways, if we get on the next couple of chapters Mong (Cain's wolf-dog's name) praying to the moon for reuniting with the scholar once again, I honestly wouldn't be surprised. Why? Because in this chapter we are shown that mates can be portrait as two best friends, two lovers or two lonely beings who wanted company. Also, because the scholar said the magical, cliché words: "if only you were human" (like in Master of Master.)
I believe Cain is telling the "sleeping" Jooin this story in order to let go of the past (just like "betrayal knows my name" bl.) He will go back: hopefully fix things with his family, do a career (note! Because he had said he only wanted to be with Jooin and nothing else mattered.) And if he's endgame, he will return not as a "I'm your dog" mindset but as a man who came to take what is his (if he still has a chance). Jooin, I applauded you for this chapter and hopefully the continuation of your story will be for the best.
Thanks for reading my chapter review. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
