Yeah, it’s taken a complicated turn. Hyung’s confession did feel forced, though we know he likes Haemin; it’s as if he still thinks he can play his little power game with Haemin. Seems like Hyung (somehow?!) hasn’t realized that Haemin has become disillusioned and feels used up, his raw feelings for Hyung getting tossed around and ignored. Hyung is just doubling down in his stubbornness and will lose the person he loves for pride...I’ll be a little disappointed if Haemin goes along with Hyung’s flow. To be fair, Haemin isn’t making the best choices either - he’s being too rough (even with the consenting sex) and punishing Hyung in the wrong ways. Classic communication blunders working out in the bedroom, I guess?
is it just me? the "i like you" felt a bit forced even though we know from the previous chapters that the hyung likes him. also he was in pain and asking the seme to stop but he continued anyways.. that kind of didnt sit right with me :(
