Did I miss something? There's no more pearls?????

Ah ok so in the sides Jooha pretty much loses his memories after the big fight with Pilwon choi when they both fell off the balcony so no memories equals no more pearls cause the pearls were mostly brought on due to trauma. Dooshik has been living a life with a different Jooha up until the last two chapters i think

His jeans bothers me so much I could die take that damn jeans off

Welcome to like at least 50% of yaoi. My theory is so they don’t show the semes butthole bc that’s “gay”. Like I’ve read some deep dives into the why of yaoi in japan (it’s a misogyny thing & women not being able to see themselves as sexual->& why old yaoi only had very girly bottoms, they were literally a stand in for the women so females could enjoy smut w/o guilt); & how gayness isn’t a well understood concept in japan. (Historically Yaoi was written for women by women.) So in a lot of Japanese yaoi, the seme is the top & can never be seen as the bottom. So any showing of butthole equates to bottoming. And bottoming is gay. Lots of cultures see being penetrated as gay but being the penetrator, a lot less gay. (Literally look up turkey & the army ie homosexuality, lol.) Anyways that’s my hypothesis why so many semes are drawn fcking with pants on. Also why you so rarely see a top who has actually been the bottom in their life. Also why there’s so many straight semes.
Like it’s changing but I’ve been reading this sht awhile & I think most changes have been bc of them making yaoi for a western audience. But a lot of the same tropes remain. It’s one of the reasons I like manhwas more. I don’t hate tropes but idk, it gets boring.
I've just finished watching the live-action version and came here to read the manga version but it not complete yet
