So the side stories are taken in the past? Should I be happy.
Yes it's starts off as the past, because in the main story Daejeongs first appearance was in the hotel room (ch.24) after the karaoke bar incident Sihyeok had with Hyeok.
So we're slowly approaching the events that happened in the main story until we know what happened after the storage room thing happened (ch. 59/60), where Hyeok caught Sihyeok calling Daejeong "Hyeok"
Oh ugh ew. Whats your take on Sihyeok imagining Hyeok despite author trying to make it as if he “actually likes Dajeong”?
Why’s he so obsessed with Hyeok? Actually does he even like Hyeok or just the wanting to dominate?
And why did he strangle Dajeong when he was little? I wonder if Sihyeok is like this due to that and finding out about BDSM in a messed up way (no child should see their parent or someone in the act).
This hurts so much...
In the next couple of chapters (side story 9) we'll reach ch.39 in the timeline as well – that time when Daejeong was rejected by Sihyeon cuz he wanted to go with Hyeok (they went drinking at a bar iirc)
