I wonder why the KR and EN promotional videos are different, EN removed some parts (you can look it up on twitter/X under the account profile: @L*zh!nCom!cs and @L*zh!nCom!cs_US mgo won't let me mention the official names lol). Having seen that, and with only 1st chap released, here's my plot guess:
ML and MC are schoolmates. IAN is Eunsan's hoobae, and EUNSAN is Ian's sunbae. They have been mutually pining for each other. They were both members of their school's ice hockey team. They played together, got close to each other, but never had the chance to confess their feelings bcs Ian had to migrate to Canada to pursue his studies (and family pressure I think), leaving Eunsan alone in South Korea. Later on, Eunsan's dad followed suit after receiving an offer to become a coach of Canada's Ice Hockey Team, where Ian was exactly a member of.
Years passed, Eunsan's dad was diagnosed with cancer. As stated in Ch 1, he refused Ian's offer and flew back to Korea to be with his family. I think he had one dying wish: To see Eunsan get married and have a child (basically he wanted to see his grandchild before he dies). So Eunsan granted his dad's wish even though he's been harboring feelings with his hoobae. Eunsan got married to that orange haired lady (maybe a classmate or a daughter of a family friend) and they had a child (that brunette baby in a crib, with a light brown hair color similar with Eunsan).
As a newly wed guy or a new father of the family, Eunsan had to have a stable income so he quit playing ice hockey and got into different office jobs before landing to his current position as the sports marketing manager.
So with regards to his wife, I'm thinking they had a car accident that lead to the wife dying (hmm say she's in coma rn) and Eunsan survived it but left him traumatized (hence the meds). So while his wife is in the hospital, he's basically a single father taking care of his child.
When ML and MC had their reencounter by the end of Ch 1, I'm thinking Ian is grabbing this chance to get close with Eunsan again and to confess his feelings later on (I don't think he's a red flag, he just loves to tease the MC). As the days passed, Eunsan's feelings to Ian resurfaced. At first, he fought against those feelings but with Ian's perseverance, he gave in, confessing that he feels the same (reciprocating Ian's feelings). And then they had sex.
Several times.
Indoor, outdoor, in the car, in the office, anywhere, including Eunsan's house. You know, like in Our Sunny Days, when the baby is finally asleep in the other room, with the baby monitor on, ML and MC are fucking in the adjacent room lol.
I'm thinking there could also be a scene where MC brought ML to the hospital where his wife is confined. ML kissed MC beside the hospital bed, the lady's finger twitching, but girlie's afraid to open her eyes as she hears moans near her. So she pretended asleep while the two almost fucked (MC stopped ML lmaooo).
Anyway, I'll revise this theory once we get more chapters next week.
Haha same thought abt the plot especially abt the marriage part cos I saw the promotional vid too (=・ω・=). And yeah, considering Pibi-nim previous works, his main leads are not red flag. So I was in doubt too abt the comments here saying Ian is a red but we'll see.
And then the wife wakes up and divorced the MC. Then MC and ML live happily ever after. (≧∀≦)
This is so detailed made me think yo I actually read it summer till I saw the “my plot guess” it is there some truth to it cuz there’s u get car accident or is ur imagination that detailed
wth is this imaginative plot I really thought this was real I was gona drop this shit so quickly. Also why did u add that last bit of them kissing besides his wife in a coma like do u really fantasize abt women getting humilated and disrespected by their partners even when she's in a hospital bed? just because it's gay it makes it okay ?
(▰˘◡˘▰)
╮(￣▽￣)╭
just some facts from Ch 1, spoilers from promo vid and my detailed imagination ig
┗( T﹏T )┛
Hey, first - apologies if this has caused a misunderstanding. I didn’t mean for it to sound like that.
Second - since I'm guessing here that ML enjoys teasing the MC, I imagine that kiss as a playful gesture that escalated into something heated before they knew it.
Third - it seems you might have overlooked that my "plot guess" is within a fictional context. The scene I described pertains to fictional characters. As we all know, fiction and reality are different. Fiction often portray scenarios that are unacceptable in reality, such as noncon, dubcon and crimes. We've seen creators (authors/artists) explore such themes within their stories, as long as they do not promote harmful real life views.
Fourth - perhaps you should be more mindful of the term "fantasize". It implies imagining something you enjoy. As a real woman myself, I can assure you that I do not find the humiliation and disrespect of another real woman to be enjoyable. And, for the record, I am of sound mind.
Lastly - to answer your question: No, I don't fantasize about women getting humiliated and disrespected by their partners even when they are in a hospital bed. It's totally NOT OKAY just because it's gay.
TLDR; None. Read everything from the beginning to the very last word.
Some people cannot literally separate fiction from reality. (￣∇￣")
egg arc just ended. now can kouichi have his own baby? get him mpreg'd finally? that womb tattoo is there for a reason.
I AM SCREAMING LMAOOO SO VALID
I LOVE THE ART STYLE! I've been seeing the author tease us on twitter with this new work, so I'm glad we're finally getting it.
BACK STORY RIGHT AT THE 1ST CHAPTER? DAMN. I'm sooo invested right now I will not marinate it. I'll be devouring this—no, I'd lick the plate clean every serving (chapter) not kidding.
ML AND MC ARE SO FINE AF I'M ON MY KNEES. Plus I once had a crush on someone named "Ian" back then, so let me relive those feels, lol
Grabbing my popcorn now, with my 3D glasses on ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
TLDR; Okay, I'm seated. Next.
I need the novel readers to confirm if this is just "Pearl Boy" minus the ML (Dooshik) and the pearls. Plus the MLs in "March" (that Brigadier General guy who doesn’t care abt his name) and in "Into the Thrill" (was it Wujin?) （/TДT)/
The ML in here is more like the ML in march. And I didn’t like the ending to this.
What’s the ending to this like? Pls spoil. Dm me
This is definitely not pearl boy, I've o ly read a few chapters in and there's no co.fort so far, just a lot of violence, rape, torture, permanent scarring, etc etc
Here's the link if you want to read the novel:
https://forbiddencylinder.free.nf/?p=2529
Damn, so the ML in here is a pitch black flag then
（/TДT)/
I already bookmarked this on NU but anyway thanks for the link. I'm aware of the hardcore themes. And just wanted to clarify about the Pearl Boy I mentioned above: that’s less Dooshik and the pearls - leaving only torture, confinement and betrayal (based on what I remember Jooha experienced before meeting Dooshik). Here, aside from SA, I smell betrayal just from the summary.
┗( T﹏T )┛
Idk if Ryujin meets love interest that doesn't harm him. I think Shin Haebeom is the ML and spoilers ahead:
Ryujim cannot get hard bc of trauma. He hasn't once had sex that was consensual or gotten hard in the 30+ chapters I've read. Haebeom ends up pimping him out and Ryujin gets drugged and gangraped by 6 people (including Haebeom). One of the people is the man who has something to do with his sisters murder.
I hope the ML dies but unlikely.
Same

If you've read Ch 40 (end of S1), they kissed and there's impending sex, right?
Well, S2 picked up where we left off, and they've been at it for 2 consecutive chapters now.
Ch 41 - Foreplay (nip play and mutual blowjobs)
Ch 42 - Raw/bareback (as usual lol did Minchan ever introduced the concept of protection to our dokkaebi Bihwan? I don't think so) and it looks like they're not stopping anytime soon, as they still have their shirts on by the end of the chapter. Not to mention, Bihwan even said something along the lines of "Let's mate until we die".
ps. Ch 43 will be out on the 21st. Raws are released every Friday at 10PM KST.
pps. DM me for the raw link. Don't ask for it in the replies section. Thanks for understanding.
I want to see the raws of the new chapters please
Please send me the raw link as well pleeeeease
This is such a good read! I wasn't really confused with the nameverse stuff but I think it would have been better if it was introduced early in the story. It might be bcs I'm so used to reading soulmates-related stories for instance: those involving the red string of fate, or the fated pair thingy in omegaverse. I'm glad things turned out well, I liked the art style and I love how the seme is such a green forest for the uke but ruthless to everyone. No loose ends, imo we got a satisfying ending. No wedding/promise rings needed, their engraved names are more than enough proof that they are the endgame so I'm cool with that. Overall, it's not a waste of time, and I'm glad I didn't drop it when the uke runaway bcs I hate timeskips—ohh in a sense, it kinda reminds me of dangerous convenience store: that "who did this to you" trope and the runaway + timeskip combo ಥ_ಥ
I'd have to thank user Empire Yaoi bcs it all started when I saw in my timeline that one picture they added to their album ROFL bcs of the d*ck decensoring error in Ch 28 so I got curious (tell me if I mispronoun this user)
(▰˘◡˘▰)
What if Haebeom's dad arrived while the two were at it — bam surprise! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Nuh uh. Stop cooking. Right now.
S2 Ch 41 is out now in the raws! I hope Dindin (who fan translated Nerd Project in the meantime while waiting for the officials) will also fan translate this one while t*ppy is not yet catching up
(づ￣ ³￣)づ
can i please have the link to the raws
hello! sorry for missing this. I assume you're not asking for the officials. There's a link in the other comment above that'll bring you to the viet translation. There's also an indo translation if you search it up on google (dm me if you can't find it). As for the KR raws, the KR aggregator sites I know haven't reuploaded it yet atm.
╥﹏╥

If you've read Ch 39, the couple went to ob gyn to have Yidam get checked bcs he's got lactating symptoms, right?
Well,
it turns out
it's just a hormonal issue
Yidam is not yet pregnant atp lol
there you have it my fellow mpreg enjoyers
and to the online moral police officers, our couple is relieved that there's no child yet atp but neither of them looks entirely happy abt it so...
Oh wait—the doctor advised Yidam to stop taking the contraceptive pills and to take the new prescription meds instead. And we know condoms are not 100% effective or sometimes Sunwoo doesn't wear them. Now that birth control pills is out of the equation, I wonder where this story will take us...
Lastly, yeah irl it's possible to lactate without being pregnant, a condition known as galactorrhea. As for its treatment, it says meds like cabergoline (dostinex) or bromocriptine (parlodel) can help lower prolactin levels and reduce or stop nip discharge. It's also advised here to avoid breast stimulation - minimize touching the breasts, to reduce the risk of further stimulation BUT YIDAM'S DOCTOR EVEN SUGGESTED THAT THE HUSBAND (SUNWOO) COULD HELP IN PUMPING—
ah right, gotta need to turn off my brain before reading Ch 41 when it's out. OK.

im truly glad he's not pregnant but ooof
YEAH I know it stems from the thought that the swelling and pain is due to the milk so draining (pumping/milking) it would help but it doesn't work like that!!! I heard cabbage leaves helps with drying up milk supply but upon further research it's not quite true but just the thought of Yidam putting cabbage leaves in a newly bought bra is entertaining enough
ALSO, I think this would be a great segment into breast cancer awareness. If you notice any weird lumps, dimples, nipple discharge, pain, nipple and/or breast shape change, etc it could be a sign of breast cancer. It's rare in men but totally possible.
can you share where do you read the other chapters
sorry I can't but if you scroll down to the other comments, you'll see some links. hope that helps!
I wish someone would simp with me in the dms abt Ch 35 in the raws.
I don't have the energy to deal with ppl rn so I don't feel like dropping a spoiler here in the topics/comments section. I'd rather yap abt it in the dms.
If you're reading this bl with the anticipation that it'll have mpreg, you can check out some bits of spoilers mentioned in its updated caption in my list:

screams, tysm for confirming it. I've been scouring the comment section for days trying to find the confirmation
