To summarize: MC (white hair uke) was in a relationship with scumbag ML (black hair dumbass) for 5 years.
ML treated him as a replacement for a childhood "sweetheart" all along and MC realized this was the case when the childhood sweetheart returned after being away to recuperate from a fatal injury from saving the ML. ML is overprotective of his childhood sweetheart and started to neglect and treat the MC like shit.
MC left after the ML stated "we were just in a physical relationship, wdym we're lovers???" when the MC voiced out his insecurities and jealousy (What a fucking dick ML). ML expected the MC to return to him begging and shit but the MC got involved in a car accident and was declared dead.
(Turns out, MC tried calling the ML as emergency contact, but since he was hanging out with his shitass friends and his childhood sweetheart, he didn't notice the call bcs the childhood sweetheart declined answering the call and deleted the history-- so yeah, the childhood "sweetheart" is actually a devil spawn.)
ML became delulu and depressed, refusing to believe MC is dead because he realized he actually loved him (Dumbass).
Turns out MC survived and the dead body was from the tour guide from when he travelled. Out of guilt thinking the tour guide could have lived if he didn't ask to be guided around the area, he chose to live the life of the tour guide whose dream was to be an actor and take care of his grandma.
So now, MC has a whole different name and occupation (rookie actor). Two years pass and after a sponsored event, ML sees MC again but MC is adamant (he's pretending) that he does not know ML and he's not the person ML was looking for. But because scumbag ML is a scumbag through and through, he stalks MC in every shoot he has and dictates what he should or shouldn't do for his roles.
This happens for quite some time until MC decided enough is enough and completely shuts out scumbag ML.
Some drama happens like kidnapping and shit on the MC with ML to the rescue (typical), and things get a bit better. MC eventually breaks character and reveals what happened but refuses to get back together with ML because he wants to focus on his career growth (good for him).
ML respects MC's wishes and promises to support and wait for him, which brings us to the current-- with the MC focusing on acting and stuff and keeping ML at arms length.
Scumbag ML redemption arc:
Honestly? It's very lukewarm.
After two years of torturing himself with drugs and depression, he agets his shit together after realizing MC really wants nothing to do with him anymore.
He saves the MC multiple times on kidnapping and other accidents and shit and eventually improves his relationship with MC.
He explains how he never received a call (during the accident), and that he was never treated as a replacement because he always loved him.
The catch though why a LOT of people still continues to hate ML:
When they were together in the past, ML decides what clothes the MC should wear, what he should eat, and always covers his eyes during sex, disregarding MC's requests and feelings.
ML explains that the clothes were from his company, hence why he wanted the MC to wear them, and he thought MC liked the food because he was always happy when eating them, and he covers his eyes because he gets really shy and some reason like that.
WHICH PISSES ME OFF BECAUSE THAT'S SO BULLSHIT??? The author just decided to sweep it all under the rug with that shitty explanation when the ML literally let his friends berate and mock MC previously and even explicitly called him a mere BOOTY CALL. Like what's the explanation in that huh, Author? Whatever, to summarize-- piece of shit ML that author covered up to say "it was all just a misunderstanding" was his "redemption arc", if you could even call it that I guess... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
After the incident with the "missed call", scum ML's pure lil bro was sus of the blonde bitch. They eventually investigated and blonde bitch being a bitch was eventually aired out.
Turns out, even the incident when he "saved" ML was staged by blonde bitch so that ML would owe him.
Blonde bitch tried to harm the MC, but ML saved him (typical) and bij now out of their lives for good.
Can someone summarize and spoil me pls?
It’s kinda hard to understand thank you
