TLDR;
Cain is sweet but fake
Am I the only one that feels like Cain is actually being very manipulative and underhanded, but without any bad intentions? I wasn’t sure if I was just imagining it or if it was just a continuity error, but it was moments where he would speak in this cutesy broken English (Korean), but when he’s upset and not trying to come off as adorable and perfect (like in his argument with Yahwi), his grammar and phrasing were perfect, like he’s actually fluent in Korean, like he lied to offer an excuse to why he’d need to stay with Jooin, and to make himself look like the dumb innocent puppy character, when that’s not actually who he is. Moments where he’d get called out on his weird behavior, but he’d act all cute and confused, and pretend like he has no clue what’s being said. It could just be his personality of trying to be as likable as possible, but there was also that time in the character Q&A where he’d change all of his answers to make himself sound perfect and perfectly orient himself to Jooin’s interests. I’m pretty positive that he definitely tried to move into the most horrible broke-down sketchy apartment he could find, with the sole intention of guilt-tripping (or making himself pitiful enough), Jooin into taking him in. I get trying to be appealing to the person you like, but when he puts on an innocent facade when he’s with Jooin, but has a complete character shift in his intentions, the way he talks, acts, perceives, etc. whenever Jooin isn’t watching, it makes it seem like he’s being super underhanded and manipulative to Jooin’s feelings and perceptions of who he is, which is unfortunately an abuser tactic. Like him trying to be cute around Jooin would be fine if it didn’t feel like the Cain we see isn’t genuine at all, and the real Cain isn’t the one that Jooin is falling for.
I also have a whole thing for Yahwi, but it’s too long to upload. So imma just say that Yahwi isn’t truly a dick, he’s just hurt and confused and doesn’t know how to human correctly.
To the passionate Cain stans, please refrain from disliking before you read the whole thing lmao
Idk dude. At this point I just don't like either. I want to trust Cain cuz he hasn't done something inadvertantly hurtful to jooin, but he's too sus and I can't. And yahwi, I like him I really do and I want to be on his side, but he's too cold to jooin. I know about all his withdrawal from people, doesn't know how to express himself etc, I hope he does better. But at this point I can't trust either of them. Cuz someway or the other they are or have hurt Jooin. So I'm just gonna sit and watch by jooin cuz that fluffy lil thing deserves to be told the truth number one by both of them, whether it's past life , I know korean or I like you, pr whatever. Just communicate with him. He's so brave and he communicated well enough why can't the both of you do. Ugh
I know where you’re coming from but the time Cain was doing all that he didn’t do it to make joon fall for him or like him
He did most of these things out of loyalty because he wanted to be back with his „master“ Cain just recently realized that he had a more deeper feeling for joon so your point are indeed valid but Cain just wanted joon to let’s say “take him (back) in”
And of course he acts all dumb and innocent and acts like he can’t speak correct Korean I mean how can he expand to joon that he’s his dog from the past???? So he decided to take The role of a foreigner (since he looks like it’s anyways)
i'm half with you, it's obvious that Cain seems to have a big personality disorder and try to act all good in face of Jooin, he's in love, so I
don't see any problem in the way he's acting now..
Unless he starts being abusive, but for now he's still a good boy and have nothing to be reproached (unlike Yahwi)
But yes, the story isn't at his end ! :)
Exactly, that’s what I mean when I say that he’s being manipulative and underhanded, but without bad intentions. It’s clear that his reasonings for doing what he’s doing aren’t negative, but if we’re arguing about who Jooin should pursue a romantic relationship with, Cain isn’t being genuine about who he is, how he acts, what his personality is like, or anything. The only genuine thing he’s showing is how much he likes Jooin, but I can’t sit with the fact that Jooin is falling for a caricature of perfect person, and someone that isn’t being themselves, no matter what the reasoning is.
I’d be chill with all that if we weren’t talking about Jooin developing a serious relationship with Cain. I am a strong believer that Yahwi isn’t as bad as he’s perceived to be, and he is too socially and emotionally stunted due to his upbringing to comprehend why Jooin’s mad at him. But we can see that he holds Jooin and their past relationship as kids close to his heart. Cain basically appeared, is tearing down the intricacy of that relationship by pretending to be perfect and innocent, and Jooin is now falling for someone that isn’t being genuine in how he acts, or talks, or behaves, or anything. He’s only genuine in the fact that he’s devoted to Jooin, but Jooin has no clue why or even who he is. I can’t comfortably ship them unless he starts acting truthfully, and I can’t ship Jooin with Yahwi unless they have a mature dialogue about all their thoughts and feelings.
I love how quickly that resolved as opposed to how other mangas would do it. It was super anti-climactic in the best way possible.
right lmfao, a lot of authors typically drag out the ex-of-ML-wants-revenge arc (not that it's a bad thing lol)
Facts. I pretty much just like how much more realistic it is. Random dude tried to jump an innocent dude in an alleyway, innocent dude defends himself, and random dude almost immediately gets caught and charged. There wasn’t a whole drawn out stalking/kidnapping plot.
It was so obvious the way he pretended to be shocked that his phone was missing, especially just after he was freaking out when he disappeared without saying anything. I understand completely and fully why he’d be acting like this, but I’m worried that his strong desire to be protective is going to turn into being obsessive, possessive, and controlling, and it’s gonna form a big rift in him & Suha’s relationship. Maybe if he just communicated his clear and very warranted worry to Suha, they could actively work together as partners to take that red-headed psychopath down. Otherwise, he’s just gonna make himself the villain and I really don’t want to see that.
Ahhhhhh why can’t more yaoi mangas acknowledge how goddamn attractive consent is??? I think the sexiest part about this was how completely complient Snow was when he was being told what to do because he genuinely enjoyed it and wanted to listen. He was also verbal about what he wanted. That usually happens much later in the development of the couple in other yaoi’s, but this is their first time together, and snow was at first adamant about how the last thing he wanted to do was sleep with another person. The way they were both so into it, the consent is just *chefs kiss*. I’m so excited for the next chapter because we all know that the absolute maniac that Snake is completely ruined sex toys for Snow forever. I mean look at his face... he’s an absolute menace! A big attraction factor of this was how evil and menacing Snake’s face was but he wasn’t actually doing anything wrong, and was actually being a big giver. Also, the irony of Snow saying that he would leave if Snake mentioned that humans were better than dildos in the last chapter, and then all it took was making out and playing with his chest to turn snow into a literal horny puddle this chapter is so hilarious. Just great all around. Mans broke his back and potentially ruined his career lmfao.
Ugghhh I’m frustrated because I absolutely adore the sunbaes energy, and he’s so smooth and flirty and sweet and their dynamic is so damn adorable. But I do also love Jaehwan and the development of their relationship a lot. I don’t think I’d want to see Jaehwan get hurt because I think his relationship with Dongho is also really well developed and they’re already in an established relationship. At the most, I could do with some flirty conflict but in the end Dongho is ultimately unwavering in his commitment with Jaehwan no matter how super goddamn charming sunbae is. If not them breaking up mutually and healthily with no bad blood between them and Dongho ending up with the sunbae (because I feel like their relationship would be slightly healthier and more sustainable and normal), I’d really like a side story or spin off (alternate universe) where it’s set in school and the sunbae is the main love interest of Dongho, because at the moment, their dynamic/relationship is too cute and adorable (and potentially a lot healthier) to just throw it away as extra conflict.
u know whats the perfect solution
date him ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
My first instinct would’ve been to mollywop his ass acting like it’s a huge shocker that his goddamn boss is telling him what to do. I wish I wish I wish I would let that bastard walk away without so little as a mark on him after he called me a fucking idiot for me not swapping shifts with him last minute so his broke jobless ass can go meet a “hot chick” like she’d have any interest in his ugly ass. Unfortunately assault charges exist, so I would’ve been content if he smacked him in the back of the head with the apron he threw at him, then fired him out of pure pettiness.I just don’t understand how there’s actually people in real life that have the same amount of audacity as this character.
I love how Haegyung keeps pretending that he’s genuinely upset enough to set boundaries with Woojin, who is genuinely an asshole, and is genuinely borderline sociopathic, but he would never actually do so when Woojin essentially forces coerced sex on him because yaoi logic. I was literally laughing because I knew that no matter how many times Haegyung got a shadow over his eyes and called Woojin an asshole, he was still going to super willingly allow him to defile his body with little to no struggle at all. Apparently, he’s only allowed to stick up for himself when it involves the non-main love interest, because otherwise, we’d never get the suuuuper hooooot scenes between the two, that can’t even be enjoyable because of how damn toxic the top is. Like he should truly stop pretending like he’s going to not allow Woojin to get close to him, physically or emotionally, until he fixes his horrifyingly shitty personality, because all he’s going to do is dramatically call him names and then immediately let Woojin fuck him.
TLDR;
Woojin: I truly don’t care about the mental and emotional damage I’ve caused you and find you expressing how much pain you’re in humorous.
Haegyung: Ugh! You’re such a sick asshole! I hate you! Stay away from me!
Woojin: Yeah yeah whatever you say come suck my dick.
Haegyung: *sigh* I guess I have no choice slurp slurp
insert every poorly written bl
Omg.... and I was sitting here thinking that his morals on how he views the relationship were messed up... but he likes him too??? He wants to date??? Absolutely love that. No toxicity here.
Would simply getting him a shirt that’s actually his size not be an option? lmao
I really thought that he was having fear and anxiety over having a baby, but he’s upset because they weren’t pregnant and he wants to have a kid with him??? That’s just 1000x cuter.
Also, mans better be careful with all that seducing or they might actually end up getting pregnant smh
That’s what I was thinking dbdbbd
