Aaaww thanks, I agree with you and I'm really happy that in the end we found a common point
You're really sweet! I'm glad that we all managed to communicate in a polite way, it give a sense of peacefulness
I'm glad you appreciated and thank you also for your great feed back!
Yeah I'm totally agree with what you say and I think that effectively, little by little, Seungho's presence will awake this sensuality Nak repressed (because of the teacher) and will make him feel better abouth his own sexuality, therefore feels no guilt anymore about the sexual nature of humans or the fact he's gay.
About this last point, I will be interested to know how the kid, so small as he was, was able to draw such erotic paintings involving men; was he made the witness of such acts? (Poor child). Did he overheard about gay love, gay sex in the Kiseang house, and just painted them with imagination? He was a really precocious kid (⊙…⊙ )
Maybe we'll never know about this...
Since he's a healthy young man, of course he'll be aroused if his senses and eyes are stimulated Or him having (repressed) erotic dreams... Remember when he was drunk and confessed to the one (Seungho) he thought was his teacher: he told him "I pinned for you, my Learned Sir". That took me quite off guard; even repressed lust and thanks to the alcohol, NK was able to say this to his adored teacher without hesitation.
Even if the boy was drunk, Seungho must also be surprised by that sudden sensuality he didn't suspect in the innocent looking painter.
The drunk sex can show us an idea of how can be sensual and erotic Nakyum when he's not hindered by anything, guilt or discomfort, and when he's in love with his partner. That sight NK never showed to anyone, as we know, was surely the main reason why Seungho became obssessed with the painter.
Seungho might fight his father over his sexuality because he's homosexual, but I believe this is the first time he falls in love with someone.
Guys the chapter 38 is cute and all... buuuut can we stop romanticize abusive relationship? It's creepy, the master is a really complex character with many emotional problems and obviously has a disturbing fixation on the painter it's not "adorable"
