I just started reading this, and it was funny to find the little detail about the MC sending numbers 4 to his murder to hire account. The number 4 is considered an unlucky number in some Asian countries because it's pronounced the same as "death." So it makes it even funnier that he's cursing the ML like this when sending money to that account.
I'm a little surprised that some think this manhwa is made or intended for women. It's the typical Korean harem porn for male readers. You can tell by the way the girls are drawn and the sex scenes. The end game girl will be the one with long black hair (always) who doesn't get laid until the end.
Despite many complaints about the rope scene, it does make sense. Remember that the ML is obsessed with the MC, he has all his merchandise, and even went to the same school to be close to him. To think that the kiss upset and ruined his relationship with the MC and that they'd never see or speak to each other again—an introverted (possibly depressed too though it rarely addressed in mangas) teenager with a terrible reputation and barely any friends—I don't see it as so far-fetched that he thought of suicide.
The chibis are so cute! Especially their little mouth
The brother and friend are so handsome! Everyone is so damn attractive here , gosh ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ the art is chef's kiss
Guys, the art has changed because it's really been a while since chapters 11 and 12. In Japan, it's very common/mandatory for BL mangas to be single volumes, and it usually takes a year to publish a volume of between 5~8 chapters. Sometimes, if the manga is popular or at the artist's request, those stories have sequels (so it's normal for subsequent volumes to be numbered but not the first if you have the first editions!), but sometimes those requests take years. The first volume is from 2021, and now there are 3 ongoing volumes, as far as I know. I assure you, an artist's style changes within four years!
Omg yes! Threesome with a proper DP! idk why Korean & Japanese artists are usually so reticent to draw it (even it's rare in Asian porn) but I'm pretty sure most readers love it! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I always love the congratulatory art part of the creator's notes! It feels so art community when friends make fanart of your OCs (▰˘◡˘▰)
For people who don't understand the situation and the mother's concern. Just to give you a few examples. There's a Korean singer who came out and no record company wanted him, and he's been attacked and insulted in the streets just for being gay. Conservative organizations asked to cancel the series Love in the Big City because they say it glorifies gays and can influence children (mind you, a series for +18 audience) and they also screaming blue murder because gay couples have been recognized certain property and inheritance rights. So yes, I would also be worried about the well-being of my son in a society like that.
Oh, Henry, you're super duper good looking too ლ(´ڡ`ლ) Nothing to envy Chase! I wish a prompt recovery to artist-nim
To all the people complaining about the art, try picking up a pencil and drawing non-stop for months, let's see if you can maintain the quality for that long (and not get paid for your hard work). Plus it's normal for the style to change over time, that happens like to 90% of artists.
Guys, it was just released an audio drama of Define the Relationship and the voices are gorgeous! There are some samples on YouTube and I'll leave the first trailer here for you to enjoy while we wait for more chapters:

(minute 5:43 if you want to hear Carlyle and Ash's first conversation).
Happy listening! (▰˘◡˘▰)
I'm listening to some audio drama samples of this manhwa and the voices are sooo ╥﹏╥ Jeon Yoon's is calm and beautiful and Chae-Heon's deep and sexy~. I love Korean audio dramas! They kind of have an asmr effect on me.
When people complain about the art getting worse, I'm worried about the artist's health because we all know under what conditions most Japanese and Korean artists work, they don't have enough breaks and that affects their final work. It's not a surprise that Japanese mangakas have a lower average lifespan than the country's average.
This is heavily inspired in Lolita, like entirely copy-pasted but set in modern Korea and with a younger guy. If you don't like that book (I wouldn't blame you), I wouldn't recommend you this manhwa either.
