Interests are quite annoying. But this dude is so extra, it's hard to see him as one. I do think rather than narcissism, his actions are caused by paranoia. Afterall, he lives a double life and he probably has many enemies who want him killed. It doesn't help that he's still highly suspicious of the mc.
I get it
I bought the manga of this thinking that it's a oneshot. Tho, I'd love for their story to continue bec. they are quite a cute couple and have quite a healthy relationship too.
To me at all. But their short yet silly and cute interactions later down the story made me grow fond of them. I hope the author has future plans for their story.
So happy this got picked up! Wondering if ever this has an en physical version? I'm planning to add this to my list of to buys
Being an undercover cop isn't really a good trade off. He'll be mingling and making ties with criminals. If ever he gets busted, that'll put the mc in more danger. I know he worked his life to redeem himself for the mc. But, idk if this work is the right choice. I wonder how the author will spin it.
Bro so dense and doesn't even reflect on his internal monologue.
He felt embarrassed that the mc saw him looking dingy
He says he wants nothing than to look his very best for him
He gets jealous of the mc's supposedly dead wife
He is actively pursuing and seducing him
Dude needs to take a hint of his feelings just as much as the mc
fr bruh, he's just making himself look bad atp
Thank God it's an update. Although the couple started out having a toxic relationship, it's great to see that the love interest is doing his best to make it right by the mc. Ngl, it feels realistic compared to other bl stories with toxic relationships where shitty love interests instantly gets redemption in the story in just a few chapters.
At least in this one, the author took the time to show that the dude is actively trying to turn his life around because he wants to be a worthy partner. Not every relationship is picture perfect, but at least the love interest is putting the time and effort to get there for the mc.
Tho, it still stresses me out to think how the mc will introduce his bf to his sister when he made her fall for him and scammed her. Won't fault her if she decides to cut the mc out of her life, tbh.
Is cherry manju the author of one night mate or are they the artist? I'm kinda confused since this webtoon has a different artwork.
The author
Thank you for the info! I really liked onm so I'm looking forward to this one if this is made by the same author.
The love interest in this story has so much dissonance between his actions and words. I really like how he cares deeply for the mc, but that wonderful trait of his is undermined by his inability to understand the word NO during sex. What makes him different from the master then??? What makes it worse is obviously the mc has trauma bec. of the sexual abuse he experienced from the master. That's why it felt to me like the love interest is making light of his situation despite showing understanding. And I don't think the author will address his behaviour bec. they often portray those non-con scenes as light hearted.
As a reader, I feel like I'm being gaslighted by the author to think that the love interest have the the mcs best interest at heart even when he doesn't respect him enough to stop when he feels uncomfortable ehile having sex. It's such a shame bec. I really like the dynamics between them two and the non-con sex makes their relationship feel hollow.
although i agree w u on this cuz fr tho ml be actin' a bit hypocritical on some panels or like shows contrasts here and there, but there are some instance (tho not sure which one tbh) where the mc habitually says 'no' when he's embarrassed or something, cuz as far as i can remember, there was this ep where he said no or stop and the ml actually stopped and he was like 'why'd you stop?' which was both funny and hella confusing to me because now even i can't tell if he meant no as no or no as in he's hella embarrassed. all in all, NO still means NO, and they need serious talk or maybe atp safe word to know when to actually stop.
tho i could also kinda blame kr 'kinks' for this, since from what I've seen w most manhwa when ml's sees mc cry or like turn beet red murmuring 'no' or 'stop' it turns them on,,, like are you fr?? hella twisted.
Yes, this trope also infuriates me. Many authors frame the mcs saying no as simply being shy or coy. Ive read it tons of times that I have been desensitized to it. Oftentimes, it doesn't really affect much of the story so I ignore it, but for this one, to me it really does. Because one of the biggest things the master withheld from the mc is consent. And for the lead interest to just ignore his pleas, it's so icky... If this story wasn't framed in a super romantic way, honestly, I'd view the love interest to be just as much of a danger to the mc like the master. It's kinda chilling how he's using his affection for the mc to get what he wants.
Plus, it's kinda ironic how he said he was willing to learn bdsm just to satisfy the mc. Like, hello??? Isn't consent one of the most critical parts in bdsm? The author missed a big mark with this one really. It would've been nicer to see the love interest take his time in building up the mcs trust when they are being intimate. :(
What power does the artist have to make the leads have such electrifying chemistry. It's like I'm watching an actual movie. Idk if it's just me but you can see how hungry is aaron for yujin just by his stares. I need to see them married man.
