This is a manga i can get behind, nothing too cringy, uke is not slutty, not one dimensional ''cute'' and got nothing going on for him. The uke has spice and takes no sh*t from bullies. Seme is not one dimensional ''loner'' or ''bad boy'' story developing is very natural. No face sucking (kissing) in the first few chapters. No force. I like it.

Guys, Bum has full control over Sungwoo without him knowing it Bum is the first one Sungwoo cared this much for, Bum is the first one not to die, Bum got Sungwoo to ASK for sex! Bum stood up for himself and rejected Sungwoo FFS! This is THE SHIT. I went from disliking Bum to LOVING him again

As I told someone before, Sangwoo don't give a shit about Bum. Idk what you are talking about. Sangwoo is just really damaged in the head that he doesn't know what he wants anymore. If Bum has lived this long its because of Sangwoo's twisted love for his mommy. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ Every time Sangwoo is seconds away from killing Bum, memories of his mom stop him. So really the only person he has ever cared about is his mom. Even tho the boy killed her, but still.

Bum wasn't really standing up for himself. I feel like Bum knew that Sangwoo's offer for sex and the "apology" weren't meaningful at all. Sangwoo seriously hurt Bum, to the point he tried to kill himself. He didn't want to live anymore and that halfassed apology wouldn't magically mend that. It wouldn't make sense for Bum to want to have sex with Sangwoo at that time.

If you pay'd attention, you'd know Bum actually is messed up and love Sungwoo to the point where he is willing to kill himself because Sungwoo's comments. He had the balls to reject the kidnapper, the serial killer, the psycho, the devil himself yeah, Bum just rejected THAT person. If that isn't standing up for himself, then idk what is.

So, you ignoring the rest of my comment (70% of it) means you agree, right? That Bum stood up for himself..like why else would you stir away from that part of the comment, unless you know that you were wrong and decides to just ignore the rest my comment. LMAO The point is, im proud that he stood up for himself.

Sorry, I'm lazy sometimes and felt like my previous reply already said what I wanted to say. Aside from the "30%", all you replied to me was that Bum had the balls to stand up for himself, which I'd already disagreed with in my previous comment. I'd basically be repeating the same thing thing. I still don't agree and I don't feel wrong in my opinion from the previous comment. However neither I nor you seemed to have anymore to add to this conversation. Talking in circles is a bit of a bore however I'll reiterate the remainer of what I said before.
Bum had just attempted suicide hours before so of course he was not in the mood to have sex the next morning. I don't see that as Bum having the balls to stand up for himself.

At first i hoped for Bums happy ending and he will get everything he wants and Sangwoo should die. But now, Bum what an annoying character. 80% of what happened is/was his fault. I feel like one of the bully in the manga, but Bum deserve this. Because the act of doing nothing, is doing something. The obsession with Sangwoo too, he could have taken the knife the stabbed the shit out of Sangwoo right then and there. Start his life over..orwhatever. Told the police everything and he was the victim. Instead, he went backwards and cut his wrist.

Yay, I am not alone. Bum is my least favourite in this series. His background is hideous and traumatic, but he lack of will. Everyone is being sympathetic towards Bum when he should know that he could run away when there is chances and he shouldn't have stalked Sangwoo or blame Sangwoo because of his obsession.

You guys are judgementare, ignorant and obviously don't know much about domestic violrnce and how that affects a perdon.

Judgemental* *

Person*

Would you remain inside a heated pot and burn yourself to death or will you find a way to survive? If you have a will to live, then you find a solution to escape the misery. If not, yummy cooked human flesh.

It's much more hard to escape and fight for your well-being when your own family is sick, broken, when your own family doesn't love you and is abusive, when you don't have any friend to talk to or to help you, when people bully you in school or think you're crazy, when the police believe you're a problematic delinquent teen, when you don't know how to love yourself, when your self esteem is none existent, when you have been told all your life that you're weak and disgusting, when you have no money, no place to go, .... In such circumstances people usually can't even think about escaping or fighting... In such circumstances victims of domestic violence suffer depression, anxiety, are terrified and it can take years for a person to develop the courage and self awareness to get up by themselves...

If Bum had at least someone, a friend, a teacher or a relative who could listen to him, if he had an example in his life or a decent human being... Maybe things would be different..

I understand that part. I could be cognitively emphatic towards Bum for suffering abusive family before he met Sangwoo. However, his obsession towards Sangwoo shouldn't justify that we couldn't blame Bum for dragging his own ass into this mess. He would even kill himself because Sangwoo wasn't interested with him anymore? So his will to live depends on Sangwoo? I couldn't bring myself to pretend being sympathetic because of such reasoning.

Must be 13, or maybe 16? Considering you aren't reading an American comic book, you may want to learn a bit about other cultures before you get on your high horse. A Korean man going to the police with accusations of rape? Bum would be demeaned then kicked out of the station. The US is a first world country, and look at all the whiny brats who buckle under the pressure of bullying on social media!

Yeah the example of how badly police in korea operates has been illustrated during Seungbae's work hour. But aren't you getting on your high horse too, assuming OP's age. Oh impressive eh?

You guidance was appreciate, may your prayers granted.

Doesn't change the fact that Bum is a piece of human waste that is better off dead, just like how Sangwoo, the bullies, the uncle (except the rape part) said. His head is fucked up beyond saving, even before Sangwoo's doing, i mean ffs, he broke into someones home..freak. Literally you wouldn't give a single fuck if someone like him die, he wont ever contribute anything useful to the society, unless he is sitting on some hidden talent, which i doubt.

IK..he is useless, whiney, trash, ugly, awkward, weak. I used to cheer on him, when he once tried, ATLEAST TRIED to kill his kidnapper with rat poison, that proved to me that, he atleast wants to survive, his character was developing, but now? A piece of trash. Im reading this manga, hoping Bum would get blamed for everything, and Sangwoo would get to walk free. It would be an ideal ending, and surprising. (but ofc if this was real, i'd rather have the killer in jail)

A human trash, just like you

As long as Bum is getting under your skin, good.

I am trying to understand depression and still learning to be empathetic towards them. I know that Bum grew up with suffering and traumatic events, and we also learned that the police in Korea can be unreliable (i.e Seungbae's workplace). All of those events are very emotionally draining, hence some of they tend to seek for comfort.
If we look closely, Bum wasn't going to tell Sangwoo about his past. I think he would never tell Sangwoo if Yoon Jae wasn't being such a bitch. He was forced to spill the tea and then was treated coldly by Sangwoo instead. That shocked him. Sangwoo should be blamed for being eager to know Bum's past without going to take his responsibility. He should get the hint that Bum's very emotionally dependent towards him but his empathy poverty hinders him to understand how vulnerable of Bum to be willing to inflict a self-injury.
I respect Bum for not complaining his life. He didn't seek for sympathy and has been holding his suffering by himself. I will stop judging him for not seeking for help for that. However, I am very disappointing that he decided to be consumed by his obsession towards Sangwoo and stalked him to the point he had broken into his house.
Bum is so unlucky. He was looking for a companionship but that person turns out to be a serial killer. I could at least understand that Bum lacks of social manner and is suffering social anxiety to confront Sangwoo directly. Heck, Sangwoo might even dismiss him if it weren't because Bum knew his dark's secret.
I am trying to be sympathetic towards Bum, but his decision on certain situations disappoint me from time to time. His first decision to stalk Sangwoo disappoints me. All of these wouldn't happen if he hadn't broke into the house. He was given a chance to live a normal life but he decided to make a crime. What if Sangwoo wasn't a murderer? Bum would be accused for breaking a house.
I also think that Sangwoo is partly blamed for deciding to keep Bum alive. But killing him too early would be boring, right? Bum is just really unlucky.

When I am trying to blame Sangwoo for torturing someone who is weak and unable to resist him, I couldn't help but go back to the square one, where Bum shouldn't have broke into Sangwoo's house. I know the damage has been done, but Bum should carry the burden of the consequence for his greed and obsession towards Sangwoo.
Sangwoo is the villian but he was dragged into this mess. All of these started from Bum. Sangwoo being a villian didn't force Bum to become a victim of his. This doesn't mean that I support Sangwoo. He killed people and he should be judged for his crime.

Hey I agreed with your topic but the way you behave right now is really childish.

Seriously, you realize you are obsessed with hating Bum?
I get it he is pathetic. Bum is bullied and abused. A loser. Not a charmer or a pretty boy. I will be honest I considered not reading ks because of him. Though I feel pity for him. And its not his fault what happened with him. He grew up in different circumstances than you so it will be highly presumptuous of you to say otherwise.

You can blame Bum for doing nothing when you went through the shit he did. It's easy to say "do something" from the sidelines. It's easy because you don't know how emotional wrecking being raped is. When you're emotionally destroyed to the extent that doing nothing is the only choice you feel you have left. He isn't doing anything because he's "weak" or "lazy", it's because he has given up. I'm sorry that he isn't being "yay life" after he was raped MULTIPLE TIMES. I'm sorry he isn't "strong enough" for you. He's not a superhuman, he's only a human. Barely older than a teenager. He NEVER had anyonw he could talk to. HE NEVER HAD ANYONE SO WHERE SHOULD HE GET HIS STRENGH? You can't get your strengh out of nowhere. It's not easy to still have the will to life if you have no one that likes you, no one you can talk to. When everyone stabs you in the back. When you were abused, insulted and raped so many times in your life that you simply can't find the strengh to get up everyday.
I still think Bum is strong in his own ways because he pulled through until now. He's still alive after all he has been through, and that fact alone makes him stronger than most of us!
He never had anyone so he's fixated and obsessed with sangwoo. He simply NEEDED someone. And now this one person he felt like he absolutely needed in his life (even if this person didn't feel any simpathy towards him) told him he was disgusting and to get lost. THIS WAS THE FINAL STRAW. Bum went through so much in his life and now the only reason he continued living told him to go away. His reason to life was gone.
Bum always blamed himself for every horrible thing that happened to him. He himself belived he was disgusting. He probably felt like he did sangwoo a favor. That's an incredibly sad thing when you think you're doing someone a favor when you disappear...
You're right. When you do nothing you do something. But doing something isn't easy. Try doing ANYTHING after being raped, bullied, insulted, looked down upon and abused multiple times while you felt like no one could love you and everyone hates you. Sometimes you just need help to do something because you're not strong enough on your own. Bum never got help. Stalking was like his "cry for help". How in hell do you expect him to even face the next day?! Much less "do something".
Start talking like that once you had even a glimpse of his emotional trauma.

Nah Nah nah.Bum was abused.He had no one to talk to.Hus whole life was like hell and whenever he finds a person he likes-Sangwoo who seemed normal,turns out to be a psycho(a hot psycho ;)Bum still has no one to turn to.Without support of at least one friend or a family member it is so hard maybe even impossible to start over run or what so ever.I think you should re read ks and take a good look at bums life.He deserves so much better ;-;

Sure, I can understand your point that he's getting pretty annoying, but completely disregarding the situation is pretty pathetic on your behalf. Your argument is depressingly invalid. May I ask if you've been abused? Tormented? Kidnapped? Raped? Mentally unstable? I think your knowledge stretches to such a tiny extent that you find it hard to grasp the real understanding of the situation. Bum's been through a hell of a lot and if giving up is what takes for him to stay alive, then I'd cheer him on as loud as I possibly could. This man's seen and visited hell so many times, I'm surprised he hadn't already slit his wrists. Get a life, honestly.

This isn't yaoi..there wont be really a happy ending :/ The cop will probably be the hero OR die and horrible death.

Such a great story I'm dgbsdvklsgbk

You're thinking of shounen ai, mate. Yaoi is a genre with gay sex or gay sexual content. Romance or happy endings are irrelevant. It can be heavy or light on plot but it will have sexual content.
Shouneni ai is boys love. Its a love story genre and thus sex or sexual content is irrelevant and typically very light. It doesnt guarantee a happy ending either, both genres could have tragic endings.
KS is yaoi. It has gay sexual content with a m/m lead pairing. It has a plot but as yaoi genre, it doesnt require romance.
Just when you thought things were going...decent.
