I’m reading the novel, and it has helped me further realize why I like the dad more than the son. In the manhwa, they make it clear that yisu and jihyung met years before the main plot. However, unlike the novel, it doesn’t clearly establish that yisu lived with the Kang’s for years.(unless I just forgot, I quickly reread the manhwa to see but I might have missed it lol) For years he was “married” to jihyung and did the house work, cooked, cleaned. Years. It doesn’t say how many, but that doesn’t matter.

Yisu gave up his career and friends in order to make his father-in-law happy and to stay with jihyung. But jihyung pretended to date that random woman and left. He didn’t come back for MONTHS, leaving yisu behind with jihyungs abusive father.

You do not do that to someone you care about. Yes, it was jihyung’s plan to annoy his father etc, but he could have easily told yisu??? Or talked to him ?????? Not ignore him for months (I’m not sure the exact time).

But he didn’t. Because he doesn’t care and was annoyed with yisu

Jihyung doesn’t care about yisu, he saw him as a way to annoy his father. Later, yisu is an annoying obstacle to accomplish his goals. I really think he might be aro and/or ace since other than yisu, he never had any relationship. He also only has sex with Yisu because he wants to take over the company, and knows that’s the main leverage he has over yisu.

Jungman is an asshole and abusive, but he values yisu. He also actually enjoys having sex with him and spending time with him. Their dynamic is definitely not the healthiest, but they undeniably care and help each other out. Yisu knows what to expect from him.

You could write a think piece about the toxic elements of their relationship, but pls calm down first. Realize this is a comedy manhwa where the MC becomes his father-in-law’s lover and also becomes his adopted son.
(Okay but if someone writes one I’ll read it LOL). Both the son and dad are not good people, the MC has also done messed up stuff. The dad and MC is just , in my opinion, the better couple.

Jihyung let yisu give up other parts of his life, only for jihyung to completely abandon him. Jungman has made yisu the heir to his company and supported his projects at the company.

    Honestly yes. Yisu’s relationship with Jungman was more honest and transparent as you said Yisu knows what to expect and Jungman never really hid anything… properly from Yisu like his escapades with the madams (≧∀≦)
    Jungman is such a supportive sugar daddy
