The cousin putting himself in the mix is making me upset. I get you want the best for your family but "the best" changes all the time based on priorities and the context your in. The cousin said it himself, he pushed himself to prove himself to his father to get his father off his ass. To constantly push push push, they're lucky he didnt get burnt out. Hes now pushing for something for himself (not saying his writing isnt for himself) he doesn't have to push for his love to be important in his father's eyes because its important in HIS eyes. This relationship is for him and his partner not for the readers, viewers, or family members.
Side stories left so much to be desired. This last chapter was so disappointing. I know why Ash did what he did but I think the sexual acts fall under coercion honestly. "He was worried and didn't think Lyle would tell him so he did this" well he should've tried some other way. He intentionally put Lyle in a vulnerable situation where he knew he would get the "answer" out of him. He used control, dominance, and sex to over power him to hear what he wanted instead of talking it through and being patient. Lyle is always patient, too much most times, but Ash won't extend the same grace?
I like Doyoon but he's pissing me off rn!! If he had the balls to talk to San himself he wouldn't be where he is right now! Relying on your friends connections can only get so far. And at this point your not even listening to your friends emotions (while I can somewhat agree with what he's saying, but someone's past is important in a relationship).











Ughhh. This story used to be fun to read in the beginning but the me it went on the worse I became. I couldn't put it down because I invested so much time into it(sunk cost fallacy), but it gets to a point. In-seo is just a manipulative and childish as he always been if not worst. If this type of relationship happened in real life, as a friend I would be genuinely worried. Isolating your partner is typically the first step of DV. Noting you haven't seen your friend is so long, they don't do anything alone, their hobbies no longer interest them... hah#-.-)
Well...Some people actually are like Inseo...I guess too much love turns to obsession? Heok is definitely tolerating Inseo cause he loves him too much...
And you are right about Inseo being a child and manipulative...Well...Insecurities has always gotten what he wanted and if he didn't get anything he found a way to get it....it's what children do...they try to manipulate their parents who love them alot to obey them....
I believe that Inseo did grow up in other sectors but one thing that he always wanted to himself and to himself only from childhood was Heok...So now that he has his most wanted possession....He is being like a child and trying to protect it from the world
