Lol, I already suspected the part about the trauma and related to that very same name! But I have to admit I couldn't bring myself to read everything you posted, I mean I actually want to wait to find out about all that.
Yeah I ruined everything for myself lol and my life will be absolute torture until March 18
I feel so bad for Suha but am really excited for the approaching drama. I feel like Season 1 was 100% smut and comedy but Season 2 is going to be ANGST and yandere Director Park will come out in full force. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Babe how can I access the Google doc fills?
yandere director Park would be so hot... ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
and I feel too that the other brother perhaps abused Suha in some way as well. He does seem to have a huge inferiority complex which is typically seen in people that have been abused, either mentally, physically or sexually.
The raws are here (not sure if formatting is working, you can also scroll up to the top comments section): https://toonkor.cx/%EB%82%98%EC%9D%98-%EC%88%98%ED%95%98
I sadly did not translate them in a way that people can read it lol, so there is no google doc file. I used an app called Photo Translate to take pictures of the raws and it did a pretty good job. You can also check out @lazulations on Instagram. She's translated a few key scenes from the future chapters.
Yeah I agree - something really bad happened to Suha concerning the brother, in the last panel of Ch. 33 Suha's face is TERRIFIED. Also can't wait for jealous yandere Director Park. I mean he got jealous of Suha with random guys, imagine how jealous he's going to get if he learns Suha was with his older brother.
Omgee things gonna get intense
Do you think this new character, the red hair guy, may have something to do with the strained relationship between the Director and his mom?
Yep that’s my theory! I think the director has always been compared to the brother and has always been seen as “second best,” but we’ll have to wait until March 18 to find out! Can’t wait So close now...
I went through the raws before but couldn’t understand a thing, thanks a lot. Im dying to see what will happen next(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Btw, for anyone still following this thread, I made a spoiler post for Ch. 34, the first chapter of Season 2. I translated almost everything: http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/5373477/
Okay so I caved and ran some dialogue from the raws through Google translate and know pretty much what happens from Ch. 26-33 (end of season 1, now it is on hiatus until March 18). Somebody please discuss the raws with me, I'm DYING...
MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR EACH CHAPTER, PLUS AN ESSAY-LEVEL ANALYSIS

Ch. 26 - After asking Suha out, Director Park says "I don't want anybody else touching my secretary." (SQUEALING!!!) Anyway, Suha is dense af and has a flashback to when an ex-boyfriend asked him out.
Ex said: "I want you to date you, please sleep only with me." And Suha realized, "Right, because you like my body." So he thinks the Director is not actually asking him out, just wants exclusive access to sleeping with him.
So the day after they have sex, Suha says, "You said you liked me, and I like your body too. We don't have to date." The Director is like ???? Suha: Since I'm not sleeping with anyone else, please only sleep with me too." And Director makes a scary af face and says "Let's agree on not sleeping with anyone else," and Suha thinks "The director is pretty easy" (COMING FROM YOU, SUHA???)
So sorry to disappoint, they are not officially dating. Suha just completely misunderstood. I wonder if he thinks he's not worth anything more than his body, and has some past trauma. Idk I'll get to why I think this in a bit.
Ch.27 - Okay so after they get done sleeping with each other, they have sex like 5 more times lol. Anyway, Suha can barely walk afterwards so Director takes him back to the bar hyung's place that Suha is staying at. Bar hyung says, " Thanks for taking care of Suha," and Director says, "It's only natural that I should take care of him." LOOLL.
Ch. 28 - Miss Choi and Director Park are meeting (I didn't translate everything, but I think they rescheduled the thing that Director Park ran out on in Ch. 24). Miss Choi, the badass she is, says, "Suha isn't in a position to refuse you," warning Director Park about the inherent power imbalance in their relationship. Director Park pulls a pikachu face.
Later, he meets with SUHA'S SISTER, turns out he's been calling her for information about Suha aka SPYING in return for her getting presents like makeup etc. (We stan a yandere seme and a clueless cute little sister.) He says, "keep it a secret from Suha HYUNG" aka he sees Suha as an older brother figure of sorts. (They did live together as children, it's been hinted several times.)
Ch. 29 - Okay so this part was a bit confusing but President Lee called in Director Park, saying that she wanted to move Suha to a higher department, where he would be working under her, and a man named DO-HYEOK that I think will eventually replace her. This man was first mentioned in Ch. 24 by that tan brown-haired guy at the hotel that used Suha in the past. That guy asked, "How is Do-hyeok doing?" And Suha says, "I don't care." or something. Again, Do-hyeok is not a guy we've met, but he's pretty clearly a part of Suha's past and also knew that other guy that Suha slept with.
Anyway, Director Park has a flashback to where he's a high schooler and lying in a hospital bed alone with injuries and stuff. (Like he'd been beat up or bullied? Can't tell, don't think it said why he was there.) Anyway, Suha was watching over him, and before he leaves, baby Director Park asks, "Will we get to meet again?" Suha says, "Of course, young master."
Back in the present, Director Park is freaking out, thinking, "He's being taken away from me again."
Later, he goes to see Suha and almost kisses him, then draws away when he remembers what Miss Choi said about Suha being unable to refuse. Suha is confused and blue-balled. "what a pity he didn't fuck me" lololol drama is about to go down and this man thinks about nothing but sex
Ch. 30 - Okay so nothing really happens in this chapter, it's just Suha being extremely horny because Director has been avoiding him and masturbating with the dildo. He then texts Director and asks to come over, and Director says, "Okay." Then Suha gets up excitedly to go have sex with the director lolol. This guy cares about nothing but sex, I feel bad for Director Park.
Ch. 31 and 32 - Suha pounces on the director. "You've been avoiding me recently. I don't know if anything happened between you and Miss Choi (??) but I'll help you destress." Then he sucks him off. Director Park is like, "Mr. Lee, you don't have to care about that" all embarassed, and Suha responds cheekily, "Then I can do whatever I want? Just sit back and I'll do as please." Then he jumps on top of him and poor Director Park short circuits. More sex.
Suha: "I want to do it with you every day."
Director Park: "You'll have to stay beside me every day then. Will you stay by my side?"
Suha: of course
~kyyaaaaa~ This is the closest to a confession we're going to get from Suha lol.
Ch. 33 - OKAY SO THIS CHAPTER!!!! THE SEASON FINALE!! SO MANY BOMBS WERE DROPPED!!
First of all, Director Park asks Suha to come to his place after work. For obvious reasons hehe... then some lady shows up at Director Park's house (not romantic) to give him a picture frame. I think it's his maid, she was cleaning his house and broke that picture frame that Suha had pointed out in an earlier chapter when they were having sex, so she replaced the frame.
Anyway, Suha is now at a meeting with President Lee. She asks, "How do you feel about working beside me, and helping Do-hyeok in the future? Suha politely turns it down, saying he likes working under Director Park, but President Lee is like "Weren't you and Do-hyeok super close back then?" and Suha is visibly uncomfortable.
And then we get a flashback to when Suha is in high school and moving into the big house... and he greets a tall guy with red hair. "My name is Suha Lee. I will be in the same class as you."
Then it goes back to the present! And Do-hyeok says, "Suha Lee," with an evil smirk and Suha says, "Do-hyeok Park" with an expression of horror on his face.
Now back to Director Park's point of view. He's still looking at the picture frame of their family (Suha's mother, sister, President Lee, and two brothers (? I think) - Jiwoon and Do-hyeok, and in the old picture, high-school age Do-hyeok is standing with HIS ARM AROUND SUHA, SMIRKING, WHILE SUHA IS BLUSHING!!!!
GOD WHAT A CLIFFHANGER!!! So there's definitely going to be a ton of drama -- maybe Do-hyeok was Suha's first love and broke his heart or something? Suha looked genuinely terrified to be in the same room as him. Any theories!!?? This manwha is amazing -- I've reread it like 50 times looking for clues. Also, in the one of the chapters President Lee says, "I'll start sending Do-hyeok abroad, I don't trust Director Park/Jiwoon." So Director Park clearly has some sort of inferiority complex because President Lee likes Do-hyeok more, and has been in love with Suha for a long time, and probably realized his brother and Suha were really close... HMMMM.
Anyway, hope this was helpful to somebody. I literally typed out an essay here haha and now will count down until March 18.
