I think it'll be more like the typical plot
Seunghoo is having his denial phase now
Nakyum gonna be hurt from all sides (Seunghoo/that teacher/Jihwa and his friends)
the turning point would probably be when Seunghoo's hurtful/painfull past gonna catch up to him and NK would be there for him
these are just my thoughts
Either way nor possible as we can see Nakyum too naive and low educated. There is no chance he could be a civil servant since he is a low class. The class classify in Korean way too harsh, either you super rich or from a noble family you cant get education or even a stable job. The only job he coud get probably servant, poets if he willing to learn reading, or make a book but it wont make much for living. And nakyung personalities too soft and way too naive, I dont see any chance he could against Seungho even if he run away from Seungho he would die or get punishment when they find him.
So here my guess, Seungho will have a change of heart in the way he sees nagyum.
In the previous chap byeonduck has give a clue, when seungho hunting with his friend, his friend said he wonder how nagyum taste. So i guess there will be a rape scene and seunho probably would save nagyum or maybe too late and he will see the impact on nagyum after that. Anyway Jinhwa will see them being intimate and that probably lead to an another revenge plans and will include the bastard who want to taste nagyum.
Its not a nice guess but I think this will happen if byeonduck keep going with the plot or if she wont have a change of heart. Maybe she will be a little kind with our nagyum T.T
There are two ways I would like to see the story go.
1. Nakyum asks Seungho to leave (Seungho would reluctantly agree) and Nakyum learns to support himself. I'd really like to see Nakyum learn to be independent and it would be good development for Seungho to let him go. Nakyum learning to read would be a good step. Or him learning to use his painting skills to actually support himself. It is a bit of a stretch, but if Nakyum even grew to take on a position like Inhun that would be so great.
Bottom line, I want to see Nakyum grow.
OR
2. Alternatively, if Nakyum can't grow like that then I'd like to see him realize that he has power over Seungho. This one is very unlikely but I think it would be interesting to see Nakyum baiting Seungho and maybe doing some manipulation tactics. At the very least, I'd like to see him taking advantage of his position by becoming more educated. (I just really want him to learn to read okay).
Either way, the only couple I want at the end is a power couple not Nakyum as submissive and a passive player.
