I get that ppl may not agree with that one chick but I believe it's one of those "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" situations. We know she had a complex about her appearance already, so we know that she may struggle with the idea that you don't have to fit a mold to be accepted. And it seems she cares a lot about those around her, so it just seems like she wants to protect ML through a misguided idea of what normal is. ML is already a generally lonely person, so if it's revealed that he's in a homosexual relationship in their little South Korean rural village, he may be isolated even further. My best guess is that the villagers will either not care too much or they'll quickly adapt, especially because they have respect for ML, but the chick doesn't realize that.
Sure it's not her place to dictate who ML can date but it seems she has good intentions and it may not even mean she herself believes homosexuality is wrong. I could be wrong but it seems she's just misguided. It could even mean she herself has struggles with sexuality or maybe it's just that her self-image problems are being projected onto the ML due to stress from her situation. I prefer to wait and see honestly. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

It's a rural village in a country that hasn't legalized same sex marriage yet and the majority population seems to be elderly. It does seem like she's worried about the circumstances and not the actual principle. Especially because Kwon genuinely loves this village, puts so much money and effort into maintaining the livelihoods of the people living in it, and doesn't seem to ever want to move.
Her not even talking about this with him and actively trying to break them up is rude and the part I have a problem with but her worries aren't unfounded

I think it's both things, she's just worried about him in her own misguided way. She's definitely wrong in making assumptions and doing things behind his back, but she's also a young college student whose just left the comfort of her rural village. She's definitely going to get a strong wake up call, but I don't think she's some evil bitch like some comments make her sound.

I said it before, but usually in other stories, the bottom would stop questioning the top after hearing the sob story, but the MC has really begun to doubt everything. It's even blatantly made clear that the sister is trying to butter up the MC to the ML (which is fucked up bc I get she loves and may want to help her brother, buuuut she's just using the MC knowing their history).
Honestly, I have hope that the author is actually going to go the route of the MC leaving on his own because there's a lot more attention being placed on the MC doubting everything. Otherwise it would be pretty shit. Anyways, I can't wait to see if the MC becomes incredibly cold to ML and he eventually leaves. It may even parallel the past where the ML ended the relationship when it was made clear that the MC was hurt by ML not seeing him as an actual lover. Maybe ML may get a bit honest and think they are becoming like a true married couple, only for MC to be like, this is a contractual relationship. That would hurt fr.
Anyways, this is me coping. ╥﹏╥

I'm glad they talked but JJ is still scheduled to leave. They'll definitely do the long distance dating thing though, cause at the beginning JJ did say that he felt that they needed to be apart to have a better relationship. So him going to Germany is going to accomplish that, with JJ having the opportunity to be himself and stop catering 100% to Leo, while Leo learns how to care for himself and how to go on without JJ being there constantly.
So happy for them though. ┗( T﹏T )┛

Fuck everyone in this story broooooooooooo
MC is obviously a cheater with a terrible attitude. ML began an affair (he knew MC was in a relationship before the reveal about his son) and then continued said affair after it turned out his son was dating MC.
The son doesn't get a pass either, yes he got cheated on but cheating isn't the answer either. We know MC and ML are trash but the son was terrible as well, because rather than sitting down and seriously discussing the relationship or breaking it off he cheats. Sure he was being cheated on and didn't know, but that's even worse no? He saw his bf was being distant and cold but decided that the best course of action was instead to cheat? Maybe his bf was going through something but his first instinct was to fuck the guy giving him attention. Again, knowing the MC is trash doesn't actually make the son any better. I was rooting for the son but honestly, he's trash too.

See, I don't hate Leo. Actually, I think he's kinda cute, but man, he took too long and I'm unsure if he truly understands the reasons for their breakup.
Leo apologized but it was vague and had lots of "I'm hurting". When you apologize you take responsibility for your actions, he really hasn't so far. Maybe they'll go into it more next chapter, so I'll wait for the final judgment.
Also, even if they come to an understanding, it's too late. JJ has already signed everything and is packed to go, they'll still separate because JJ can't just break the new contract now. Which wouldn't be a problem if Leo had set his ego aside earlier, during the many months JJ pushed back talks about the new contract and still held out hope. Because surprise, not only one person has to carry the emotional weight of a relationship.

BTW this is me saying they may be able to talk things out next chapter, but they'll still spend time apart to further mature. Both have their roles in the breakup and they truly need to be given time apart to develop as individuals (especially Leo) so they can return to each other at a healthier state.

I totally understand what ur saying and i agree but i would have to disagree on the part where u said leo doesn’t understand the reason in which they broke up
There was part when he was apologizing and he said “you put up with everything … no that’s not it I was at fault I’m sorry”
I feel like there
Thats a sign of growth and character development
Leo IS LEARNING and i feel like once jj communicates his feelings
And they have some type of conversation,
Then leo will be able understand jj more
And jj will know then to communicate his feelings properly
I do also agree with u that they will def spend time apart
Cause again he did sign that contract

I hope that the authors goes through with the something being off here vibe. 'Cause in most other stories having other ppl weight in about how they perceived the ml's actions would make the MC immediately start to change their mind. Like "omg I misunderstood and he actually loves me!" But here, the MC not only doubts what everyone else says, he feels that something is off completely. Because from the brief pov we get from the ml we can tell he mostly feels possessiveness, he's not in love and he just wants to keep the MC by his side through any means. Maybe the ml will fall in love in the future, but for now, all he feels is that he needs to make sure the MC only relies on him. I'm just praying that it gets explored and not brushed off, cause we know that the ml is an asshole for sure.

It irks me so badly that Leo gets so many passes because "he's a little guy! He's ditzy! He didn't mean it!" You do know that doing something without thinking is sometimes worse than knowingly doing so, right? Leo is a grown ass man like JJ is, he doesn't need every little thing to be spelt out for him. Not that it's hard to understand JJ either, because everyone sees it. JJ feels that Leo does not value him in their relationship. He literally says it when he asks Leo "do you see me as your boyfriend?" Leo keeps asking what he did wrong and why did they break up, but he never stops to think about what JJ has told him. He barely registered that JJ was not happy in the relationship, that JJ hasn't smiled for a while.
Had to split up my posts to find which one was being dumb lol

finally someone in the comments who sees things as they are and not by their feelings of a poor smallie uke. JJ for sure did wrong not expressing his feelings, but damn, Leo did the worst. I can say JJ woprst error is the rape scene , but i will just delete that chapter from my mind, cause it was unneccessary and out of character.

Yeahhh, that what my original post was gonna be about. Many of those that excuse Leo's more negative or toxic traits probably also expect their lovers to follow them around and don't see anything wrong with it. Cause yeah JJ did a very bad thing, but that doesn't automatically erase the fact that Leo has essentially been using JJ - not even going into the fact that Leo has coerced JJ into sex as well like we see in the beginning.

We don't actually know if JJ has expressed his feelings before! So many assume that JJ hasn't because we haven't seen it, but I'm sure that's gonna be answered soon. Based on information we do have, it seems JJ has made an effort to fix the relationship and to talk about it but Leo has ignored him, but that's not confirmed yet either! The point being, we don't know yet and all these Leo supporters immediately turn to placing all the blame on JJ no matter how much evidence is shown about Leo's actions. JJ didn't communicate, but Leo did so much more too! He also didn't communicate, ignored JJ's feelings, made plans with friends over his boyfriend yet expected his boyfriend to make time for him only, coerced JJ into having sex, accused JJ of sleeping with others based on the fact that he merely talks to some other guy?????, put his ego ahead of his relationship, etc.
Although I agree that the ML is a dirt bag, hope he gets abandoned for a long while, it's interesting that he does not actually reveal anything about his background to the MC. Not excusing the bastard, but the most he's personally revealed is that he does not have a good relationship with his father. Everything else has been told by his sister, which she's clearly using to try and manipulate the MC.
This either means that 1. The bastard is being somewhat honest in his approach to the MC, because he's trying to charm him into staying rather than just relying on his sad background. He's still a shady bastard nonetheless but he's not using his past to his advantage. 2. He told his sister to do it. I don't put it past him not gonna lie. I believe the bastard is trying to influence MC through outside means, but he's failing because nothing is really sticking long enough not to raise doubt. Interestingly, MC is even doubting the lab results, which I don't put past the bastard to manipulate either. The bastard IS using their son, so if it seems the treatment is going 100% well (not just 80% or 90%) then the MC is more inclined to stay.
