You all are going to say the same thing each chapter, but tune in anyway. It's about time for you all to admit that you actually like this and stop hiding behind a puritanical facade over mere lines on paper. If you genuinely seek wholesome shit, there's plenty of that available elsewhere. After all, isn't the occurrence of rape or abuse in the original plot a clear signal that this isn't the sort of story you're seeking? Why search for certain elements in places where they aren't obviously present?

the second half of the story was taeseung trying to make amends for torturing and traumatizing sooyoung, of course there are going to be people off-put by him acting like this after we’ve seen his character arc sorry if the comments are ruining your good time but yeah people are going to keep reading a story they’ve read for over 100 chps

There is literally a trigger warning at the beginning. If you hate noncon, which has been recurring in this BL since the original story, don't fucking read it. You all keep saying how you dislike the themes in stories like this every chapter, yet you continue reading each update and announcing the same complaints in the comments. I understand that it's not for everybody, but I don't get how you keep consuming stories you all claimed you dislike and then proceed to nitpick every little thing. You guys do this in other stories like Jinx too.

I Totally agree on that, don't understand when people are complaining about scenes like those but keep coming back for more.
That said, I'm a bit bothered by this side story too - I'm still gonna read it though, because I loved the main story. I don't mind the smut, nor threesomes, or these agressive scenes, it's not about that - I mean, it was like that from the beginning. :D
I just didn't expect the side stories to be like this. I think most of the people - here, now - are mainly just disappointed? I get it that it's a "what if", but in my opinion, it doesn't add anything to the story, if anything, it takes away from it. It ended so nicely, then BUMM, just a brutal smutty threesome dickslap in our face.
But of course I can only talk for myself. I mean, it's the author's fantasy, and a lot of us had the same thought once or twice (regarding the threesome.)
I love Taesung, and I think that he's an extremely possessive type, not some who'd share, so for me these chapters are quite inexplicable. And I think Minhyuk fans also wanted something a bit more romantic - not 100% lovey-dovey, this is not that manhwa, just maybe a slightly... kinder approach? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Maybe if this side story was the middle one, and not the first, it would've been better? Threesomes are hot. But for some reason, this one is just not it. Someone here wrote that it left a bad taste, and that's how I feel too.

From the first chapter of the side story, one could already tell that this wasn't going to be fluff/cute. And as I said, this story clearly indicated dark themes from the beginning. You've read the whole thing until the end, and you're surprised that the side stories are like this? What is so shocking about a BL story with themes of rape and abuse centering the side stories around... rape and abuse? By the way, I'm obviously not talking about those who are deciding to drop the story, but those hypocrites who come looking for a cute romance story in "Legs That Won't Walk" of all BL stories, lmao. You hate shit like this yet you're still reading the scenes you find disgusting.
There are BL stories that are "wholesome," "cute," or whatever adjectives that fit your taste. THIS is not that BL.

ok but why did long hair guy cut his nipples?

The fresh wounds open probably hurt more/more sensitive. Whenever it heals though, I wouldn't really know how much more sensitive that would make it though (since it'd become scar tissue which is tough and dense).
I think it was probably more of an excuse-reason to draw the bottom in pain / nipple torture tbh...

havent picked this up yet but i just went here to peep the comments and ijbol why do the comments hate ian bruh im team ian btw idgaf who he ends up with i just want him happy he's so fine

yeah typical bl fandom behavior. it's so funny to see their agitation. you know it's a love triangle and there's a 50% chance that the ml won't end up with who you think is more deserving of him. you really wanna spend your time getting mad each chapter the story doesn't go how you want it to be? lol

They spend so much time hating one character that they miss the plot, misunderstand true plot and then get madder when things don’t go their way. Truly sad. I think the story has good depth to it and it’s just a shame that their personal shops stops them from appreciating the characters or at least the story as a whole.

preciselyy this is why i couldnt get into yours to claim(?) the whole fandom drama annoyed me so much i muted all the related tags on twitter. they were at each other's throats every update likee was it ever that serious. i hate when this shit happens because they'd start shitting on the mc (which is how wet sand fans have been acting lately so i went here to check) it's getting tired i hope ian ditches both of these men so nobody is happy LMAO
cant wait for hawaii trip to happen
Why? Spoil me please
