(small spoiler.. maybe?)
From what I remember, back when they were in highschool, no. He was kind of interested in him as a person (because of how isolated yet violent) he was. Just never really belonging anywhere. Ofc in present times he finds him romantically interesting. It's just that back then they didn't really know each other and Minjae was more focused on going to nationals
I kind of don't know what some of these comments are talking about coz yeah highschool Minjae was a bit weird but he's far from the worst. (His "not socially acceptable" stuff is written more in a compelling and realistic way. Where it's not jail worthy, but maybe a bit dick-ish in the moment)
idk why we would get rid of the ending coz it was pretty nice. Not toxic, happy ending.
Also I think when they revealed the past (highschool arc, which is revealed twords the end) it's such a big part of both of their characters and really brings them to life, even making them a little relatable in some ways. Esp Heechan. So getting rid of that or changing it is completely not cool imo (it was my favorite part to read ) it's like opening up a new side to a character. Understanding how they ended up where they are at, their mindset and past actions and how it affected them today
Minjae faked stuff in their current relationship.
Spoiler warning
In their relationship Minjae faked stuff like accident where he deliberately caused Heechan stressed, some contract where he called him his goddess of luck, lottery ticket and multiple interactions which were pre planned and presented to Heechan in a totally false way.
In the story Minjae claims to do this cause Heechan always seems like a person who is ready for the worst outcome in their relationship (cause of his father). He wants Heechan to feel tied to him in emotional way.
I do NOT remember this ?? Ik it's been a while since I've read but I thought you meant the situation in highschool (when they were both at a club and Heechan got into a fight with someone) and events after that
I think I remember this part too but not in detail, or at least maybe not in a severe way
The manhwa probably decided to remove the part where Taekin was tied and naked (by the class pres brother) bc it's shounen-ai or bc he's underage? I'm kinda glad they did it bc I feel sorry for novel Taekin TTwTT I mean the manhwa Taekin got it bad, but still I do not want see something like what happened to novel Taekin again ;_;
