Taehwan is cold and not very romantic when he’s with Yeonwoo, but it’s clear that he’s been through some really disgusting shit that makes him act the way he does. I still think Yeonwoo was super gross and creepy when he kissed his clearly emotionally exhausted and dejected friend while he was sleeping and finally felt comfortable enough around someone to relax and be himself. That doesn’t excuse how he’s kind of dragging Yeonwoo along and not being necessarily kind to him or warm to him when he’s clearly using him for a physical connection, but his behavior is not even close to bad enough for him to deserve to be considered a bad person, especially since everything he does is done with Yeonwoo’s eager consent. I’d say the worst thing he did was leaving Yeonwoo tied up with sex toys for a long time while he went out with friends. There should’ve been some MAJOR aftercare after that, but he’s continuously getting better and more open (at least with his body) despite there clearly being some childhood sexual trauma going on, and feeling like the guy who he’s doing all this with took advantage of him while he was finally being vulnerable.
He’s a bad person because he made it clear he was only interested in casual sex at the moment and the person he’s doing it with is gladly accepting it? I’d say it’s a bigger matter of Yeonwoo lacking self respect rather than Taehwan being a bad person. He’s never abusive or anything to Yeonwoo, which is the bare minimum, but still. He started off being rude to him but that’s because Yeonwoo severely screwed up their relationship by taking advantage of him while he was vulnerable. So it’s no surprise that he put clear walls up and wasn’t openly accepting him with empathy and joy, especially since they started hooking up because, once again, Yeonwoo pounced on him (granted he was drunk this time). Despite all that, he’s visibly getting more open with each chapter to the point where he held him close during their hook up and joked with him when he got his clothes dirty rather than getting upset. Having emotional walls up for someone that wronged you doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, and the fact that we can see his process of those emotional walls breaking down proves that he’s not a bad person and that he’s just someone that has a difficult time opening up to people.
my point: there are not only walls, he is not defending himself but he is deliberately hurting people by treating them as if they are disposable, with contempt and harsh words, making it clear that he does this outside the sexcen and with other people around him.
Yeonwoo being wrong or agreeing to be mistreated during sex for loving this idiot does not change my point, RESPECT is missing. They both agreed to this relationship, but if he doesn't want to have the slightest regard for someone else then let him move on.
And you are romanticizing him because "he is visibly getting more open" while demonizing Yeonwoo for past mistakes, which we know were impulsive and based on true feelings, for God's sake he was a passionate teenager who made a mistake not a rapist.... but keep acting like Taehwan is the only one who deserves to be understood
"He's never abusive or anything with Yeonwoo"
fucked him without looking him in the face, like a disposable toy; called him out for his sexuality; left him tied for hours without surprise with a chance of being discovered; threatened in a violent way (shouting, pulling and shoving); pretended he hadn't existed for years but now that he wants sex he's back ...
I am perfectly fine being the conductor of the Woojin hate train because he still seems like a super annoying and manipulative person, but I feel like the sole reason why he said that he didn’t like Haegyung like that is because he wasn’t sure if he, his brother, or his whole family would be okay with it. I feel like he genuinely liked him, and he didn’t want to ruin his relationship with Haegyung by opening his big mouth like he did in the past. The question did come out of nowhere and Woojin had no way of verifying if Haegyung would be cool with him mentioning that he likes him directly to his younger brother, especially since that might also put him in a precarious situation. He already screwed up Haegyung’s relationship in the past, he probably didn’t want to do it again by being careless. Still doesn’t change the fact that he has a kinda gross flip floppy personality and treats people like play things, but this situation specifically seems like a big misunderstanding due to lack of communication.
“I know deep down you love me”
Uh huh. That’s exactly why he hired someone to murder you, screwed the guy who murdered you IN FRONT of your “dead” body, and continued to live happily in a big ol’ mansion with the guy who murdered you... ~~~becuz he wuvs u so muwch~~~
“That asshole betrayed you!”
Oh yeah mate, I mean, you may have crushed my mental psyche to the point where I almost went insane living with you (actually did go insane enough to deem it necessary to hire a hit on you), emotionally abused me to the point where I still have nightmares about you and it took literal months for me to feel safe and comfortable around my vampire boyfriend who literally killed people (including you) to protect me, and physically abused me to the point where I had a multitude of poorly healed cracked/broken bones, and a literal doctor was shocked that I was still alive... ~~~but he kwissed anotha boyyyy! how could I evaaaa fowgive hwimmmmm?!?!~~~
DELUSION I SAY I SAY DELUSION!!!
At that point I would’ve punted the little bitch without hesitation and faced the repercussions with a smile on my face. It’s clear and obvious that he’s still an obsessive manipulative bastard with an annoying ass laugh just like he was as a kid, to the point where he literally (or at the very least, almost) OUTED HIM TO HIS WHOLE FAMILY. I want nothing more than for them to not end up together, but it’s gonna be some stupid shit where he’s literally only able to be in a relationship with him because of the stupid ass fake jinx that he “apparently caused”. This is already so annoying. There’s nothing entertaining about a shitty person getting what they want without ever changing their shitty personality and shitty actions. I was already irritated when he forced himself into his bed, and onto him when he found the sex toys, and how he literally made him beg for help after he made him hurt his ankle after just almost running him over with a motorcycle, but all of that is so much worst after seeing him as an evil, very punt-able, demon child. But of course this is yaoi, so fuck an apparent bottom that’s strong-willed and willing/able to defend himself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Also fuck an apparent top that’s not unbelievably toxic and generally dislikable when we first meet him.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. The progression seems to be for another dead-weight uke who'll subcom to the manipulative seme. The seme will never apologize or if he does it'll be the most lukewarm, half-assed apology ever witnessed in this universe and maybe some beyond. And people keep romanticising this shit.
I understand if it was a dropped upload and no one was planning on uploading it anytime soon, so you’d try to give it a go, but there’s a dedicated official translator that actually does an amazing/professional job of uploading these, so I have no clue why you’d even think to upload over them, especially with such sloppy translations. Just doesn’t make any sense. It’s completely understandable why you’d be getting hate for this.
Girl- did she really do all that cuz she had some good sex? Dude genuinely has a magic dick that can make girls kill themselves the second they’re rejected? I’m so flabbergasted right now. It is sad though, because the two MC’s could’ve had a perfect relationship if he wasn’t a sociopath that believed sex was life. Like if he made it known that he’d be willing to have a committed non-toxic genuine relationship with only her, then they could’ve been able to handle each others needs, physically and emotionally. But despite the fact that she said on multiple occasions that she wants more than sex and is clearly looking to have a normal relationship and a normal life as well as having physical pleasure, he was still like “mY bIG CoCK WiLL mAkE yOu LoVe mE!!!” Like dude. You coulda shown that you love her like a normal human being, but he clearly has some type of mental illness that stops him from seeing that. Very sad, very stupid, entertaining nonetheless.
My pet peeve is when people try to attack problems without opening their damn mouths. Literally all he has to say is “I had no idea that I’d lose my memories if I become human” and that would solve at least a part of their issue. All the MC had to say is “why would you want to become human if you’d lose your memory of me?” Rather than being like “I’m so mad that you won’t communicate with me so rather than communicating with you about the reason why I’m upset I’m going to sleep with another guy and continue to not communicate the main reason why I was upset enough to cheat on you then get upset when you leave without telling me the thing I didn’t tell you I wanted to know.” The other love interest is a dick for caring more about swooping in to steal the MC away from Honam than the MC’s actual mental health, because he could’ve at least mentioned that his boyfriend who he’s been with for years may not have known about the fact that he’d lose all of his memories and isn’t so horrible that he’d willingly abandon all memories of him, which would definitely crush him. And yes, Honam is a stupid prick for not telling his boyfriend of multiple years that his family is not only forcing him to become human but is also forcing him to marry a random ass woman, and that he was actually going to go through with it. JUST OPEN YOUR FUCKING MOUTH AND SPEAK!!!!!! I’m so sick of characters needing to be the stupidest people on the planet for the sake of creating conflict. It’s just shitty writing and unbelievably frustrating.
