It must feel pretty awful to lose to the step bro tbh, not that I was rooting for Taku, but still. That'd hurt more than regular rejection. It served to solidify that Taku never 'had' Haesoo in the first place. He had other flings as well and always went back to stepbro
His name is Joowon :)
Step bro blah blah blah oof
Cain is creepy and obsessive
right??? finally someone
pls all of the ppl worshipping cain in the comments thank god there are some sane ppl left
I get what you’re saying but at the same time, jooin is not shutting him down, he offered a room and is giving him the attention so if you’ll blame cain, blame jooin as well
Potentially, but that one creepy panel about Cain saying something like 'I'm sorry for deceiving you' gives strong manipulation vibes on top of the visible ways he already manipulates Jooin. Jooin is nice and naive, yes, but I'm not going to victim blame him for being pushed and manipulated
Is the story accurate about a rapist and the victim? Yeah. SH is an asshole who keeps doing his thing, rooted in trauma, not given a reason to change and doesn't know how. NK is being traumatized and doesn't know how or when to speak out to best help his situation, also a lil dumb. Status, wealth, and education gaps. Lots of misunderstandings and also an unwillingness to understand. I think the author is doing a great job of portraying that. This shit, realistically, will go in circles forever. They probably won't ever change, if the author was going for straight realism. Neither should a RAPIST get and deserve redemption. For SH and NK to end up together as lovers would be an outrage.
However, I think, at this point, going in circles with a manga that is updated weekly, barely any plot development, or character development, is tiring. Great job, yes. Draining to read, also yes. For story purposes, we typically expect more payoff and expedited development, like with BJ Alex for example. That just makes it an easier and more rewarding read (although I thought Jiwon's development was rushed and he is also an undeserving rapist still.)
Idk where I was going with this, those are just my thoughts.
I went the whole original release of S2 thinking there just wasn't any smut, I'm glad I was wrong
I think a chapter might have been skipped? Anyway, still, thanks so much for translating and uploading so frequently!
Take note BL authors that's how you clear up a misunderstanding without dragging it on for 26 chapters
WAIT NO ITS TOO TRUE-
this is a cruel truth i know
