This is my favorite comment by a commenter named Roe. Please read it.
One of the things I noticed in the call out posts of those defending Param and Han on chapter 39 and 40 is that those who (they think) are angry at Param and Han on chapters 39 to 40 are either teenagers, virgins, and purists.
Alright, I'll take it upon myself to come out. Bicurious ace here who had few relationships with other people. An adult manga reader who happens to love reading BL as their past time and actually purchase any manga I've read here that I liked using real money:
What Param did is uncalled for. As a felllow adult, this type of behaviour is not commendable, as even an open, experimental sex escapedes have to be openly communicated to any potential partners and current partners. Swinging is okay as long as there is informed consent with all parties, not just the party you are currently having sex with. As a rule, be upfront and never break someone's trust - as who will believe you the next time if you hide things and cover up your mistakes?
To be an adult means to admit your mistakes and own it. To apologise, and to be open to people you have at least a physical relationship with. This is why people are angry at Param as he broke someone's trust. Worse, Hwi knew that something (not exactly what but hinting at it) happened between Han and Param but so far Param hasn't come clean as of yet. I'm glad that Param own up to his mistakes and asked Hwi for a second chance. But it doesn't stop there. More needs to be done, as clearly, Param did some damage already. If he wants to clean up his mess he needs to be open to Hwi about everything that happened, as apparently they are about to enter a romantic relationship. Love is less of romance but more of communication and trust. Trust is the most crucial thing you should never break in any relationship - whether platonic or non platonic ones, as it is easier to say sorry than repair trust. Trust me, trust is the biggest deal breaker in any relationship, even open ones.
You said everything I feel perfectly
But Param is not cheating on Hwi because they aren't a couple, So why can't he fuck anyone if he wants to?
I'm not sure why people are forgetting this info but there's one chapter where Hwi told Param about how he's going to chase Param in which Param did not refuse and said he's willing to try it out. directly, Param is in a process of entering a relationship with Hwi.
Even if it doesn't count as cheating now.. Its still unfair, wouldn't you think so?
I don't remember any of that lol, I just remember that Hwi asked him to go on a date with him
Also Hwi knows that for a long time Param had a crush on Mr. Han, so I think it's not weird that they had sex, because for Han was like a dream come true.
Param definitely broke my heart. Hwi loves him a lot, even did a little scribbles for him. Mr. Han was cheated by his ex, but Param is doing just the same because he wanted to laid with Mr. Han. Wtf??? My heart was beating so fast when he kissed Param, hoping Param would reject him but...... He didn't. I was so disappointed that I skipper all the smex scene Param had with Mr. Han.
I want to drop this manhwa so bad but I'm grasping on the last straw, hoping Param would at least be honest to Hwi and tell him the truth. If he didn't, I'm really dropping this ( T﹏T )
