I don't really care how much an asshole ML is. I'm just here for bl with kids
Read the novel's forum because I've been seeing that ML was supposedly a red flag but here's what I got:
ML being a tutor was a big elaborate plan by MC's mother to look onto his son's school life. She was worried that he's being bullied so she hired ML (who was kinda close with his son's age) to be her informant. ML agreed because he was orphaned and the mother was a sponsor, so in gratitude he agreed with the plan. From what i got, ML did really "manipulate" MC into opening himself to ML but his actions were still of course genuine, like he was also worried abt the bullying case. Like he went there to do a job but he also felt sorry . He wanted to confess abt how he git his tutoring roles but he was scared (?) to admit.
Though he didn't also overstep things--he didn't became the knight that saved MC from bullies. He just relayed the news as per his job's prescription. I think this is where people are torn between him being good or not. Anyways, stuff happened and MC went overseas.
Years later, they met and ML was able to recognize MC after hearing his name. He wants to confess and talk about the tutoring issue but he further contemplated when MC acted that he didn't ML. Long story short, he does plan to spill the beans but MC's mother beat him to it, further straining the advancement of their growing relationship.
My conclusion is, people are overusing the term red flag for people's mistakes when those mishaps can be overturned by their good deeds. Yes, it was wrong for him to be "spy" but remember that ML was just doing it out of gratitude bc Mc's mom was the sponsor of his orphanage. Second, from his POV, he just saw a mother who was worried about her son's not opening up to her about his problems. It came from zero malice. He did plan about spilling the beans during their past but he didn't had the guts to do so. Calling him red flag because of those is a stretch. He had mistakes but no one's perfect
Where can I read the novel?
Hey! I personally took on the role to translate the rest of the novel in English since nobody picked it up. I translated after chapter 68 but the link to a website with chapter 1-68 is in my google docs as well

Omgg thank you so muchhhh
Ohhh bless you for this!!
To think that hyesung would be the strict parent lol thought dojin would be the ""mediator""
Fr always took him for the chill one even tho he had his rage outbreaks but still thought he was the more rule breaker out of the two so thought he’d be more laid back but doesn’t look like it now…
Idk, this seems so casual? The fights, the way they flirt, the way they don't realize they're overstepping boundaries, simple interactions, stupid conversations, stupidly long pacing and more. It seems so natural that it made it seem that I'm just reading a real couple's journey to love.
FR!!! ml's acts of service feel so natural, the way he takes care of the mc and looks at him may this love find us without the situationship part
Fr, even getting annoyed at them not realizing their feelings(〜￣△￣)〜, in my country we call them...no label(they flirt and act like dating without label) similar from situationship
The scream I had to let out when the realization that I have to wait another 10 days to see what's next is unimaginable
I feel like there are at least a couple of obvious routes but here's one:
ML has liked MC from the start, but MC, being an Alpha, set boundaries and completely missed ML’s feelings for him. Yuuma, who’s MC’s twin, also liked ML but knew he didn’t stand a chance. Then, during one of Yuuma’s heat cycles, he lost control and ended up sleeping with ML. ML, affected by Yuuma’s pheromones, couldn’t hold back either—the fact that Yuuma looks exactly like MC didn't help
Feeling guilty about the situation and knowing that ML actually likes MC, Yuuma decides to leave. He figures an Alpha would be better suited to take care of his son anyway, so he leaves Sana.
I like to think Yuuma wasn’t a bad person to begin with ^^
SIGH, A BIG SIGH.
not me sighing while i read this
