Because he is in love with the uke. He says he didn't know the uke could sleep with men too, if he knew the uke was bisexual then he'd have made a move much earlier. Uke was straight til he met seme, and seme is his first man, so best friend is jealous that he wasn't able to be Uke's first man. I'm sorry this explanation kinda sucks and yes, the best friend is Scarface's nephew (⌒▽⌒)
YES I'm just so heavily emotionally invested in this story thank you so much for the kind words! >///<
I'm glad it helped! ^^
Hey there, fellow ADHD warrior! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! I don't know how to read Korean, so I just had a brief idea about the chapter.
The behaviour of the seme after they had sex might be a result of the guilt he feels for treating uke as a substitute for his former boss, and also as an outlet for the feelings he has begun to develop for the uke himself. When he was having sex, he saw the uke as his former boss, but in the car, when the uke was not in front of him (with the red rope and everything), he was able to think clearly and got turned on thinking about the uke only, and not the former boss. It's like, when he saw the uke in red rope, he was reminded of his former boss, but when he is the car, he is alone, so the uke in red rope doesn't distract him, and because he has begun to develop feelings for the uke, he jerks off thinking about the uke.
This is my understanding of that chapter, hopefully chapters after this give a clearer picture if the Seme's feelings towards the uke
thank u so muuuch
(づ￣ ³￣)づ <3 <3
Thank you! Well kinda felt bad for him, but I guess he will be an antagonist in this Manhwa.
I'm betting on him ending up with either this detective dude or with the long-haired guy who hasn't been introduced yet but who was shown in chapter 15 (i forgot his name) huehuehue
Major antogonist will probably be that Scarface
LIFESAVER YOU ARE!
Also goddamn, how much more does the author want me to be emotionally invested in this story T^T
ALALSJDHD
Yes same tbh, that friend doesn't seem to be a big threat as of now, I was also betting on Scarface and that traitor left-hand of former boss being the major antagonists, and the friend just being.... A quickly discarded side dish IYKWIM huehuehue (▰˘◡˘▰)
Hopefully the friend doesn't start feeling possessive later on or some shit bcz our main couple already have enough headaches to deal with SMH
I see! I thought it wasn't consensual, since that hoodie guy was crying and whimpering and all that stuff. But if they're already a pair then it rules the detective out. Also even though the long-haired guy teams up with Scarface, I hope he ultimately pairs up romantically/sexually with the friend (nephew), or author introduces a new character to pair up with nephew. The reason I'm so anxious for him to have a partner is because as long as he's available (without a partner), there is a possibility of him trying to interfere in Uke's life (like I said in my previous reply, act all possessive towards the uke and stuff) and mess things up, either by himself or at the behest of his uncle.
I'm not worried about uke being stupid enough to sleep with that friend again , I'm worried about nephew emerging as an antagonist and teaming up with his uncle for whatsoever reason, and also getting back at seme in the process (for stealing uke away from him), and also for the murderous look seme gave him. Uke is smart. Or rather, cunning and manipulative. He's the scheming sort, and didn't hesitate to sleep with that guy for the info that he wanted. He himself says he's shameless. I respect this aspect of his character, he's fallen for the seme and leaves no stone unturned to get what he wants. Though it scarred my soul to see him sleeping with another guy other than the seme, even though they are technically not in a relationship and uke is free to do whatever he wants to
Short-sighted, yes. But he wasn't weighed down by his father's expectations and rebelled (rightfully), though his way of going about this revenge is not very well thought of. Falling in love with the seme was an added contingency that he probably didn't take into consideration, oh well ╮(￣▽￣)╭ The fact that he rebelled, plotted revenge and didn't take his father's treatment silently is a strength for someone indecisive and non-confrontational like me. One of the reasons I'm heavily invested in this story, emotionally and otherwise huehuehue. I am really looking forward to seeing if his revenge is fulfilled.
Where I can find the RAWS?

Thanks
Thankiuuu

"uke agrees to sleep with him in exchange of that information"
Yeonjin said that it was his first time sleeping with a man, i know its pretty much irrelevant, but i am curious. did he lie when he said that?
Since people are very confused about the story, the characters and the timeline, i want to give a brief summary, including some aspects from the raws. I hope i'm able to clear certain things about the currently translated chapters.
PAST:
Seo Yeonjin (main uke) bought Choi Moonhyuk (main seme) after seme lost an underground fight. It was love at first sight for the uke, and he buys the seme and wants to know more about him, so he looks for information. His best friend (tanned guy with small mole on his face) comes along and says he can give him that info and long story short, uke agrees to sleep with him in exchange of that information. Combining the info that the uke got plus seme's flashbacks, we have the following information: Seme was raised in an orphanage and now takes care of his brothers and sisters who were in the same orphanage, after the orphanage is demolished or something. Seme's former boss (chagang) was into bondage, and seme saw him sleeping with a man with a scar across his lips (let's call him scarface, he is important later on). Apparently, scarface is a well-connected man politically (according to latest translated chapter) and it is he who gets the seme's former boss murdered after coming across a video of seme and boss having sex, because Boss was scarface's b!tch.
Coming to uke's story: Uke's father is a rich businessman, married to a beautiful opera singer. One day uke, while chasing a ball, accidently sees his father having sex with another man, who is ---SUPRISE!!!!--- Scarface! His mother then comes and takes him away. He starts acting rebellious and shizz and later on, his mother commits su!cide, for which he blames his father, etc etc. Uke gets married to a friend of his, who doesnt mind him sleeping with the seme, and tells the seme that she is aware of everything and chose uke because uke was the perfect candidate for giving her a beautiful son, who is the only one she truly cares about. She also has a grudge against uke's dad, though i dont know the reason. Uke's aim is to humiliate his father, and in the process he ended up falling in love at first sight with seme, and the story continues from there.
Uke continues sleeping with the seme, and even tries the bondage that seme's former boss used to do, because he is in love with the seme and wants the seme to notice him, but one day when the seme is drunk, they have sex and the seme confuses him for his former boss, and the uke realises that he is competing with the boss' ghost so he will never be able to win seme's love. This is where chapter 12 ends.
PRESENT:
Whatever is written above, is actually the PAST. Chapter 1 begins from the PRESENT. In the present, uke is already dead (apparently), but his body HAS NOT been found, and the seme is accused of having killed him. The former boss is DEFINITELY dead, his body had been found long back, even before the uke and seme had met.
EDIT: Since some people are asking about this: I think the uke is still alive. Compare the former boss' death with the uke's death. Former boss (chagang) died, his body was found, so there was no ambiguity about his death. But uke is supposedly dead, yet his body hasnt been found even after many days of searching iirc.
(This is my speculation, I desperately want them to have a happy ending T_T I really really hope the uke is alive.)
EDIT: Best friend is Scarface's nephew.
Chapter 18-19 onwards I think mutual feelings begin to develop between the seme and the uke because the sex looks much more intimate, though i'm not sure because i cannot read korean. The scarface makes a comeback, recognises seme, while uke's dad also makes an appearance, and i tell you he is such a B!TCH i literally want to crack his skull open istg (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
So this is more or less the summary, I'm sorry for any mistakes!（/TДT)/
If anything is unclear (Main story or my summary), please let me know! ^^
