It is cheating, if not physical, emotionally. Rabbit dude was thinking about the white bear. The author even played the SA off like it was nothing, so clearly the author is trying to justify it. Rabbit and tiger were still together when the rabbit thought about the white bear. And I feel like the author just tried to make the tiger look like an ass so readers can justify the cheating. Also isn’t “infidelity” for marriage cheating specifically?
Rabbit even said, “Yes I have a boyfriend and I can’t stop thinking about another man.”
—definitely an icky situation.
Also the part where the white bear stood up for the rabbit, it was nice but cringy. Bro said Rabbit can do ANYTHING and nobody gets to point a finger at him. Author is def trying to make him look good.
I’m not even complaining that they are together now, I actually like the white bear and rabbit.
It’s just the way it’s set up is so icky. White bear even said “I’m sorry I ruined your day by going on a date with Charles today.”
And then the rabbit (Charlie) just goes with him?? You don’t even know him. wtf, talk and properly end things with your bf. Why would he even go with someone who SA’ed him. It seems like you take the SA more seriously than the “goody two shoes” white bear and rabbit.
And this is why I think author is forcing this. But I’m still reading cause…it’s hilarious.
Here’s the thing. Being drugged isn’t cheating even if the author doesn’t make it a big deal out of it, trauma wise. Thinking about someone isn’t cheating. Cheating is actively and INTENTIONALLY going on ROMANTIC and/or SEXUAL dates/hookups while being in a monogamous relationship. So you may not like the uncle rabbit thinking about the bear, which is cool and can rub people the wrong way which I can see; but the uncle rabbit never cheated. The bear and nephew just removed the uncle from the situation where both his best friend and bf trashing him like he was some slut with a past of being a cheater/scummy person. If you visit me and the very first thing you do is calling me a slut for having guests over that’s not okay. He did that predator thing for no reason, he knows they left because of how him and the bull/cow was treating the uncle rabbit and didn’t once apologized nor did he even tried to reach out to either his bf or his brother to even check if he was alright. Maybe the author did that to make it quicker for the bear and uncle rabbit but the tiger was way out of line and I could’ve liked him again, if he tried to apologize even if it wasn’t in person or even if the nephew made so he could do it person. But not doing anything while in the wrong and putting your partner in a mental breakdown state. Buddy
I’m talking about the emotional cheating lol. I forgot what chapter they broke things off but we can clearly see the MC developing feelings right away for the white bear. I do agree that being drugged and being touched is not cheating. And I was saying the author doesn’t make a big deal out of it, because they are trying to undermine how serious the SA is.
MC knows he was wrong for thinking about someone else while with another. That’s that.
It is still, without doubt, icky to think about someone else especially the one who SA’ed you. Thinking about someone else is cheating, cheating doesn’t have to be physical (hook up etc) nor do you have to WANT those thoughts.
Many people end up thinking about another person, it would be emotional cheating. I’m not saying MC is devil for that but it is definitely cheating in one form.
I also mentioned that what the tiger said is not right. So in no way I am agreeing to him. Only that it seems like this is very forced to justify the emotional cheating. The whole situation is forced, it’s fiction so of course.
As you said, the author did it to make the white bear and rabbit together quicker. I am not really complaining about it, just that we can see it’s very forced.
It’s just funny how the white bear said all that and the rabbit going with him, the whole situation is ridiculous. That’s what I found cringe, they literally met each other what…a day ago? Of course I am glad the white bear stood up but idk it felt like some savior bs. To each their own though. I’m still happy they ended up together cause the tiger looks like that affair partner of Eugene and I hate it.
Also sorry if I sounded like an ass, not trying to argue or anything . I don’t think anyone’s partners would like it if their partner thought of someone else and blushed at them, that is emotional cheating by definition. What you described is physical cheating, but I don’t mean to talk about that cause I don’t agree that MC cheated PHYSICALLY. I agree with you.
Also attraction, as said many times in general, is perfectly normal. Pretending like it doesn’t exist isn’t healthy and hiding it from your partner is definitely not right. I guess many just see it as emotional cheating, many don’t.
I personally just see it as emotional cheating because he didn’t outright communicate to his partner about his thoughts, or just break things off. And hung out with someone he’s dreaming/thinking of. It comes off as icky and borderline cheating/emotionally.
Now it wouldn’t be emotional or physical cheating if he broke things off with the tiger. The tiger had no right to cause him a stress reaction either, I get that he’s angry but still no Justification. This is why communication should be done from both sides.
I see where you’re referring to as tiger giving stress cause to rabbit. I was confused for a second until reading on. Because I was initially talking mainly about the one where the purple head dude, rabbit, and his nephew, and tiger were at the house arguing.
If anyone, the most wrong one is the white bear. He took advantage more than once of the rabbit, while knowing he’s with the tiger. While the rabbit was having sexual thoughts and action due to stress (fiction logic), the white bear took advantage of that.
He defuses the situation and then takes advantage of it. This is why I say he tries to be a goody two shoes.
Except for the rabbits, the purple haired guy that filled out the questionnaire, Zachary, the good fox and maybe the uncle rabbit BFF; everyone needs therapy.
I think y'all confused about the uncle rabbit “infidelity situation”. He didn’t cheated at all, and the incident at the club—he was drugged by the mob club characters. The Tiger guy blew up at him TWICE. And both incidents the Tiger was wrong. He was wrong to start calling him slut after the drug incident only b/c he seen people at his house when we going to visit him. He had no common decency, if the owner is out and the other person didn’t let me know who is allowed to enter I’m not letting through that is just common sense. Also people who think they can control/dictate when you can have guests at your own personal space or think they are only allowed at your space as guest just b/c you’re dating them are lowkey abusive. He was wrong for doing the predator pressure thing after the uncle rabbit got back from his lunch w/ Zachary despite Zachary AND the nephew rabbit telling him that they are taking the uncle to lunch. The only way he would’ve been right if it was nighttime or he came home the next day with Zachary walking him to his house which neither happened. I was on his side until that incident, b/c at first his character seem like a lovable himbo type; now he’s rude “alpha jerk” type predator and it also seems like he hiding something (maybe he’s the attacker of the recent herbivores).
The nephew rabbit and the good fox just need to sit down at the park or cafe away from the good fox’s brother and talk about where they stand. They actually seem to like each other and want to be more than FWB but are not only having bad communication issues but as well as outside parties trying to isolate them. If they make up, I feel like not only would they be happy, the nephew rabbit can help the fox deal with his family to the point that he can gain real confidence on his own to stand up. (Like how Lyle was helped by Ash). I really hope they don’t break and get “new partners” and they should stay together.
I can tell that Zachary and Uncle rabbit are going to be end game but I know that is just going to be a up and down situation until they both say I love you. It would be funny if Zachary is from a powerful family and his mom and dad like typical mean rich Korean parents in a Kdrama .
The purple coworker is funny he said he didn’t have a lactation fetish just to tick off wanting to have lactation type sex. I wonder if the guy that looks like is going to be his pair the hyena that the good fox didn’t like not picking up his slack at work.
As for the bad fox and his daddy? I don’t want to touch that bs with a 1,000,000,000ft pole but unfortunately I feel like they are going to cause a lot of issues for all the characters esp since it’s shown that they are more connected then a dark otome game where the protag lost their memories due to an accident.
I’m going to let this build to enjoy more of the story this is definitely not an update by update type of story for me but I still like it
