I think that's one of the things that Min-ki touches on too. He mentions that he understood why Wonho accepted this sponsor dynamic to climb up in this business but when does it end, when will it be enough, when will Wonho realize that what he stands to lose is far greater than what could be gained at this point. On the other hand, for those who don't fit the standard mold of seme or uke it probably is extremely hard to to give up a very natural and primal sexual need for the rest of your life in order to fulfill the ideal role the person you love needs you to be. Life is long, the idea of one partner and one role to play for your entire foreseeable future is suffocating...almost as suffocating as a life spent suppressing the wants and desires that would break your loves heart. He doesn't want to lose Min-ki, to disappoint him or hurt him, but there's no doubt that despite all the desires that he fulfills Min-ki will never be the one to push Wonho down and make him sore for a change.
all true, except, did he ever ask Min-Ki? Perhaps Min-Ki would like it to? and if he thinks he's suffocating, how suffocating for the other person you supposedly love to constantly cheat and lie to him when he knows what you're doing? they are both screwed up.. haha.. neither is healthy, and now Taeyoung has moved into an unhealthy area also :/ Oh well, this is what makes this story:)
I think about the way he whored himself to fame is true though, maybe he still feels insecure about losing it hence why he still does that. Looking at the big twist came with the appearance of Eunwoo, i think the author is the type that will not make any characters a complete villain...like they all will have reasonable motives in what they done. From the start, we are always faced with the adorable and positive Taeyoung and now we see him clearly taking advantage of Minki's drunk when he had all power to push him away. So i guess the author try to make the characters aren't 2D. So imma what else we can discover from Wonho
Yes, I want even thinking about the romp in the sheets. Now our angelic little fanboy Taeyoung has moved into the dangerous territory of taking advantage of a person while they were blackout drunk. Min-ki was the aggressor and Taeyoung did ensure he recognized him before continuing but if you have to convince someone of who you are because they're too inebriated to recognize you then you should definitely just put them to bed. Taeyoung knew what he was doing, knew he could have easily pushed Min-ki away,
and called himself a garage person because of it. I think the writer may be delving into a very realistic world where everyone is guilty of something, just to varying degrees.
Sorry to join the conversation,
but based on the bathtub scene where Minki use dildo for himself, I think he's more satisfied as uke. Plus he said "it's not enough".
I am not gay, heck I am not even a man, but my close friend is a hardcore uke, Lol :D
He said he tried to became seme one time and he ended up having two "sessions" because he needs that thing inside his butt.
Well, both Minki and Wonho just won't moved on. They knew they both feel insecure but because of this "love", they won't break up.
I understand.. but my point was really..it's not something he tried to work out with Min-Ki at all, but continues to cheat with many other partners, and not as the uke.. so my original response was to how hard it was for him to give up being a uke ( or seke ) how it may suffocate him to suppress that. But I think that's not really why he is doing it, and if he was really in love with Min-Ki and vice versa and they had a good relationship this could have been a conversation. Min-Ki loving being a uke isn't why he is the person he is right now.
Yes, I also think that sex position is not really the main problem here.
At the end of my comment, I wrote "Well, both Minki and Wonho just won't moved on. They knew they both feel insecure but because of this "love", they won't break up."
What I meant by that is both Wonho and Minki, in my opinion, has reach the peak of being couple. They might loved each other so much in the past, but at the time Taeyoung appear, their relationship is completely done (and no, it has nothing to do with Taeyoung). With just simply words "it's over", they'll easily broke up and moved on.
I think both of them aware of this situation but just won't move on.
This kind of case happens in lots of "long time" couples, plus with all this "cheating" and "sponsors", and how Minki was tired with the trust issue, I can't see a future for them to stay together.
And yes, I also like to see how Wonho became the person he is now.
I hate cheating and won't forgive anyone who's cheating, but it'll be good if the author show us the reason behing Wonho's actions.
I agree :)
I just want to say I've been following with interest the discussion, and found so much to agree with. Thanks to everyone for so many interesting POVs.
I love that its not just varying points of view but also everyone is giving examples for why they feel a certain way while still not trying to prove someone else wrong. Honestly, we could all be way off base. The story just started.
While I'm sure most, if not all, of us can agree he's a selfish hypocritical bastard who should just let Min-ki go (and Min-ki should just break up with him), there's another aspect as well. Those "sponsors". Are they sponsoring him in return for sexual favors? Did he, in other words, whore his way to fame? And is his career still dependent on pleasing those sponsors? If so, not only would Wonho be a uke as well as a seme, but he wouldn't be in a position professionally to be faithful nor might he want to.
