Thank you rof your translation.
But I dont agree with your way of thinking. We cant compare fuck buddies to actual relationship, when they spent time together beside sex.
Jiwon was his whole life treated like shit by his family, he had to pretend to be someone else, he was lonely and depressed and then he met someone who manipulated him and lied to him that they loved him. Its on the different level for me.
Also their "love" is really tragic. DG who fall for Alex and not Jiwon and mainly for his appearance and Jiwon who would fall for ANYONE who would show him live and warmth and take care for him (what is more sad because DG even doesn't know him and fall rather for Alex than Jiwon himself).
And also Jiwon was just kid back then who was more guilible,innocent and weaker mentaly and DG who is an adult guy.
Thank you.
Good points but it's like someone who says "I want to be sex buddies" but then gets pissed and want you to be their only sex buddy, want you to give everything to them only, and does stuff that makes it seem like they want something more. Plus jiwon pretty much manipulated DG as well. There are so many references where he thought DG would just be a pushover and he can do whatever he wants.
Even Mingwa wrote it so Jiwon would do the same thing as his ex. Plus all the shit he did to DG was pretty bad. Especially some sex scenes where he was basically destroying DG's asshole just because he was pissed. Even his ex didn't do that lol.
Also I think DG likes both alex and Jiwon. It's possible to like both. DG had a lot of fun with Jiwon and even after all he did DG still loved him. That isn't alex's character to act cruel. That was jiwon's.
Plus i think Jiwon actually likes DG for DG. He finally gotten over wack ass Hui min and was wondering why he let him affect his life so much. Plus he doesn't get satisfaction anymore from BJ-ing. Only DG can "fill the emptiness". He just wants DG to love him.
I do feel like Mingwa is trying to express this but it didn't come across to readers as well.
But it's the beginning of a turning point and I'm excited to see what happens next
Thank you it’s crystal clear now
I dont know man. They are older than me and I act a lot more mature irl tbh.

Finally back to the present!!! Yes!! Mingwa-ga said it would be a turning point in the story now. I think there may be an extra lengthy chapter next week or a 2 episode special next week.
I think Jiwon fucked up. People are saying DG went into this with anterior motives but in reality they both did. DG went to find love and Jiwon went into it because he couldn't get hard with anyone else. But he didn't say this to DG. DG even asked him "what if I say no?" when he proposed the idea and got him sweatin'. He lied saying he could just find someone else and not admit it can only be him.
Plus he did the exact same thing Huimin did to him. Mingwa even wrote it like that. Plus what happens in the past to someone is no excuse to treat someone like crap and hurt them.
Anyways I still want them to get together and I am excited to see what happens next. I also hope we'll see more of what happens on campus or if he goes by the cafe more often. I cannot wait till next week!
I'm also just glad the flashback is over. It was necessary but I need more of the story! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Next week needs to come sooner. (=・ω・=)
