Flashback starts at the end of CH 32
We see Taehyuk at end of CH 35
Brother shows up at end of CH 45
Scar dude (kidnapper) shows up in CH 49
Taehyuk’s death is somewhere in CH 54 - CH 55
And the flashback ends on CH 56
Not sure if anyone really cares for this or not I just thought it felt relevant because the scar dude popped up again
That escalated quickly. So it’s not the brother that most of us thought it was but the freaking advsior from the flashback who ordered his death so the emperor stops going mad. The original problem has returned after his already terrible lives. I mean yeah it’s sad that every life his loved ones just died every time but what makes him think this kidnapping is gonna change anything? Like dude you’re cursed for a reason, don’t repeat the damn reason again.
Irrelevant but long hair Hyo-Un is gorgeous
This illegal cliff hangers where everything just seems to go bad at the end T^T At least this ending has Jin back with Matthew although both are sadly struggling with the effects of drugs. I was hoping that after Jin was being a badass, “How’d you like to get your ass best by a horned up pink today?” we would have been able to see him beat up everyone but I guess not. So sad. Still I’m so happy he got back safe to Matthew. I love them so much. Hopefully they can catch a break soon
Not gonna lie… the rose is definitely suspicious and there is no way it isn’t somehow tampered with. Hyunjoon said he won’t make it today even for the pheromone thing so I doubt the rose is from him buuuut idk if Jinha would know that. Also that is careless gym bro behavior, now that weird and obsessive creep knows where Jinha lives. Feeling a tad bit unsure about the next chapter
He seems pretty chill despite him being in rut, it honestly just looks like he’s hella horny lol. But wow what a time to make a vow, while fucking with the magical disappearing and reappearing bandages Hopefully they actually show us the kids when they have em and the dad finally goes away like forever
First’s plan in a nutshell: Act first and have the precious and competent puppy deal with it later. Lovely plan 10/10 punch was very well deserved. His family sucks from what we’ve seen, what a shame. Anyways Racheal keeps popping up everywhere and First has priorities. Let’s see how this goes. Will she be caught? Will she escape? Will First pull something? Who knowsss
This is an interestingly toxic dom and sub dynamic but I have like 3 questions:
1. I get that Heewon wanted Wookyung to understand what's ok and what goes over the line but if he was so uncomfortable couldn't he just say the safe word instead? I thought doms and subs could say it
2. What the heck did safe words do to Wookyung for him to prefer being in an ambulance (and I mean he got what he wished for ig) than actually saying anything?
3. Does Wookyung possibly have a mental issue where he's just like unaware of himself or something? Was this ever a thing?
i don't really have an answer for all three questuons but I figured i could say my two cents on the current conflict!
I mean, yeah, Heewon totally could have said the safe words instead; both the sub and the dom can use it if they feel like it. What happened though probably has to do more w/ the fact that Heewon wants Wookyung to ACTUALLY understand the difference between play and abuse, and the fact that Wookyung is not only willing to dismiss that difference, but he also actively encourages abusive and toxic behaviours in the name of "pleasure" - all this just sent Heewon off the rails.
He didn't use the safeword because he was trying to get his point across, and in that moment that was way more urgent in his mind than him feeling uncomfortable over hitting Wookyung.
Also, not to justify any of this, because i think this is very toxic behaviour on both ends, but we have seen clearly how pushy Wookyung gets w/ bdsm play; he's continuously pushing Heewon's boundaries and dismissing his feelings, belittling him, saying he's boring all bc Heewon doesn't like to get THAT violent. So it makes sense, i think, that Heewon was completely blinded by the rage that something that should be very clear - aka the difference in bdsm between play and abuse, between play and violence - is still THIS hazy and light-hearted for Wookyung.
It sadly makes more sense when you put it that way. Makes me wonder if we’ll get any positive character or relationship development soon
I feel like wookyung is ashamed to say that he's into rape/ abuse stuff out loud so he just agreed to do bdsm
