HUGE SPOILERS AND EXPLANATION FOR THE WHOLE MANHWA:

Basically, when they were children they were both abused in their own ways (abandoned orphan, shitty parents, etc). Yeonwoo’s parents had a “black room” that was like a mirror portal to an alternate universe where your deepest and sinister desires could come true, at the cost of (literally) destroying others, to get to the top. They get trapped in there bc Yeonwoo’s parents are assholes and like torturing their scared kid and they both plead for it to be just the two of them forever, which causes the hands to go out and kill his parents. The mirrors then explain that they’re the manifestation of human malice, and they were strong (mentally I guess?) enough and had the capability to be able to control and become one with their mirror selves, which would give them whatever they wanted through any means necessary.

Taejun forgets all of that, but Yeonwoo doesn’t. Yeonwoo has basically been trying his best to reach out in any means possible (the book, the random murders) to get Taejun back, and gets upset that when they do meet again Taejun doesn’t remember anything at all. Taejun’s mirror self has also been calling out to him, hence the creepy reflections he always sees. After they meet and some shit goes down, Yeonwoo tries to get Taejun back to how he was, and is egged on by his shitty friends BUT the one person that keeps him “normal” is his foster father.

Taejun almost goes to Yeonwoo’s side but they have a fight when Yeonwoo admits that he wants the old Taejun and not who he is now (even though by then they were already sleeping together and almost like a couple). He goes to live with his foster father again but! Turns out he’s also a piece of shit!! He sees Taejun as a burden and a charity case and he (rightfully tbh) thinks Yeonwoo is terrifying and insane. And he also was having an affair with Yeonwoo’s aunt? Not too important just more scummy details lol. Taejun, during this reveal, realizes he misses Yeonwoo even though he was a total asshole to him lmao but also because he lowkey opens his eyes that everyone’s got their own personal agenda, even the person he looked up to.

SO Yeonwoo probably realizes he has Taejun within his grasp still and sets up a pretty little birthday party for Taejun and his “friends” and has a lovely massacre as they ahem… make up :D Taejun realizes that no matter what, Yeonwoo is always there for him, no special tricks or motives, because they’re “one”. They encountered the mirrored selves together, they used that power together as kids, and in the end, they became one with their mirrored selves, with each other, forever. All they care about are each other, and even the giant puddles of blood in Yeonwoo’s house don’t bother them because with each other and with their mirrored selves they have enough power to do anything they want and that’s all they ever need. (That’s also why Taejun’s face is EXTRA creepy at the end, by then he’s fully accepted his mirrored self and all of his malice.)

ANYWAY if you’ve read all of this congrats lmao I honestly really love the ending, despite what everyone else feels, since the message of the story is like a twisted version of morals. A metaphor gone wrong, you could say. Their calmness at the end was super chilling because it truly meant they felt like nothing in the world could ever touch them and it was so powerful lol okay bye

I don’t think you guys understand that this story is about moving on. Even the oneshot, both Hoshihiko and the old man decide to move on from their pasts and let go. Rika was like the ONE ray of sunshine in Waki’s life, someone that wasn’t dead or had left him. It makes sense that Waki moves on to someone who’s alive and able to be there for him. Hoshihiko is an amazing character, but wanting them together wouldn’t do anything for Waki’s slippery slope into depression/madness. He would’ve just been another dead person Waki was attached to.

Does anyone have Korean raws that aren’t from bomtoon? If I find the time I could maybe translate the rest of the chapters

Between you and me, guys, some of the older chapters are missing entire panels..... I’m still working on re-translating the older stuff (and new stuff!! multitasking lmao) and I was curious and wanted to see how much info was lost in translation and there were some panels that just weren’t even in the final post rip ;; anyway I’m excited for you guys to see the upcoming chapters ^^ please wait patiently for us~

Wow I can’t believe I cried so much while reading this?? That scene with Ricchan, when she says she could tell immediately that Tobari was a guy, was soooo sad. Imagine Tobari, so nervous and excited to go out dressed as a girl, trying his hardest to make sure he wasn’t found out, all for Ricchan to say that she could tell he was a guy. That “...oh” really hurt :( Anyway I really love this manga, I’m glad Tobari punched Inui in the face when he did LOL because he still hadn’t properly apologized and it was very satisfying.

Hi guys, I will be picking up this manhwa along with someone else who will do the typesetting and posting ^^ In the meantime, please don’t pick up this manhwa without discussing it with us first. Idk how regularly updates will occur, but we’ll try our best to catch up to the 40+ chapters out already in the raws, and are also going to repost some of the older chapters that have stilted translations and wording to make everything flow nicely. Thanks in advance for all of your patience and support, I hope our translations are up to par with the general audience’s standards~

I think we should just wait for the official English translations to catch up..... the original team dropped this because it was being licensed by lezhin, and idk about anyone else but I’m fine waiting for good, clean English translations. Thank you for your efforts, but I think we should just wait patiently instead :)

Hey guys I don’t wanna overstep on the new translator, so I was wondering if instead you would want someone to fix up the older chapters? Especially since they’re broken up into parts, maybe I can find a way to combine everything nicely and retranslate it! Idk the etiquette for replacing chapters, someone please tell me if what I’m suggesting is rude or offensive!

Hiya guys I would like a link to the raws since it seems like no one else is gonna translate this manhwa anymore, I’ve been self-studying Korean so I won’t be perfect at this either but hopefully it’ll be okay? If anyone has some tips and tricks on typesetting, etc. pls hmu since I’ve never done this before lol also I don’t know how long this will take me so pls don’t expect chapters asap or on a specific schedule

Also about the whole google translate fiasco my take is that DONT post google translate chapters when there is either another team currently working on the project or there are official English chapters coming out BUT since this manhwa is only Korean and only one very new, very small team was working on this then I think you’re an asshole for complaining about the only translations that you can get :)
