I totally agree with you, that was really well put! I can definitely see how some people ship the two characters. I even felt inclined to do it myself, which was rather disturbing once I realized it. （￣へ￣）(I guess that is the essence of Stockholm Syndrome, although that isn't what I would call this story exactly due to Bum's liking Sangwoo before the abuse.)
Anyway, I can't see this story having a happy ending in any sort of fashion. It will probably be tragic or twisted. Regardless of that, I must say that it is truly fascinating to read. I can't take my eyes off the page every time a new chapter comes out. I love how Sangwoo, in many ways, is so unpredictable, it does so much for the suspense of the story. Koogi has really been doing an amazing job.

I've always wanted to say this, mainly because it was bugging me, and I guess I'll just let it all out. This is my opinion, so some might not agree with me!
Yes, this is tagged as romance, but in my opinion THIS isn't romance because of the abuse. I've seen a lot of people freaking out and saying that this manhua is absolutely sickening, too violent and just wrong, but I think that's the whole point; because this is psychological and horror after all. But that's the whole beauty of it. Kooji gave us unique and twisted characters and didn't 'sugar coat' them in any way, and I kind of like that.
I also noticed that a lot of people ship this pairing, and also plenty of people that disagree because of the abuse. I too do not ship them, because the "relationship" they have is so cruel. To me, I just feel like SOME (key word: SOME. This does not apply to everyone) people are romanticizing violent/abuse relationships. Yeah, it's fiction, so I guess ship whatever you want. (Does that even make sense? Idk.) If you so happen to ship it, you're not a horrible person, and I totally understand why you would ship it. Yes, in some scenes Sangwoo appears to be gentle, kind even so I guess that could be a reason as to why some people would ship it. If you ship it, whatever. You do you, my dude. (〜￣△￣)〜
Also, I have noticed a lot of readers complaining that this mahua is too messed up and just plain and I have something to say to said readers; stop reading it. If you don't like it, leave. It's not too hard to click the exit button. A lot of people really like this story, and they don't need anyone raining on their parade.
I really do enjoy this manhua. At first I was a bit freaked out, but I couldn't stop reading. It's very refreshing to read something so different like this once in a while; no limits or mercy.
Chapter 13 was a little conflicting to me because I'd like to think that maybe Sangwoo is becoming sane by feeling worried when Bum was gone, but it's pretty obvious that he may be only worried because Bum might TELL someone, at least that's what I think. I guess this is tagged as romance because of the feelings Bum holds dear for Sangwoo, but it unrequited love possibly. What I hope is that Sangwoo becomes sane and maybe even develops feelings for Bum, but that's kind of impossible if you really think about it. Sangwoo could get his ass thrown in jail, so how would he be able to have a sweet life with Bum? ┗( T﹏T )┛ If Sangwoo would stop hurting him, maybe I would ship it. I really have no idea, but I'll see how the story rolls out.
A problem is this fandom is that a lot of people keep hurting one another with our ideas and thoughts. We need to stop doing that. We're all here to read a good story and we don't need fights ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Anyways, this is pretty much what I think of this amazing story! Please don't attack me if you disagree. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
