That hurt really bad. I really don't know what could come out of this tragedy besides a bloody ending. I still hope the author will surprise us somehow but damn, Yeonjo suffered like hell and as much as I want to hate the seme, I can't. He is also a victim. He had no choice but to follow the orders while killing Yeonjo family...
I do not approve what seme did to Yeonjo and the killings he committed. But during the era they are in, if he doesn't do what he did (others will anyway for money and power), it's hard for him to survive given that he was abandoned by his father. It's all about survival. He did felt affection for Yeonjo and wanted to treat him well. Even though, he knew it's dangerous to keep Yeonjo by his side given their history. Even now, he still refused to let Yeonjo go after all that has happened. It's a tragedy indeed. The only true victim is Yeonjo. He did nothing wrong. Yet, ended up in such a pitiful situation. Even though, he did felt something for seme, his moral conscience will not let him. It's impossible for them to be together as he had murdered his family. Wonder how the ending will turn out.
I think seme had more than affection for Yeonjo. He fell in love with him. He was down so bad he kept denying the obvious. He never truly trusted him but he still let down his guard in his presence. He also for the first time questioned his past decisions and behavior. What he's doing now is another proof of his deep attachment to Yeonjo. He should've killed him right on the spot but he decided to keep him beside him. It's tragedy over tragedy yet I can still enjoy the beauty of this story
The last panel broke my heart... baby is treated like a sex object. His body has bruises all over from the repeated abuse. Chained and confined in a room.... Poor Yeonjo.. what did he ever do wrong to deserve this.. At this rate, I do not see any good ending in sight. End of the season. Wonder when will the next season be release..
