I remember in 2022 Ez gave an overview of what they wanted to do with smut scenes and based on what happened in the latest chapter of the korean release, they are definitely having their first time next week or the week after that. Probably foreplay next week and the actual deed later. Anyway they are giving Checkmate lately because Taeji is still a manipulative psychopath and Sooyoung knows it too but likes it, clearly has a soft spot for him and obsesses over what he's doing.
*spoilers prob?
In case you're interested, Ez said it could be STC but they wanted them to be a little drunk after Jihwan gets Sooyoung to his house. It was the first experience for both, Sooyoung found it painful at the beginning and then later pleasurable with Taeji going bat shit crazy about it until Sooyoung passed out. Taeji came inside and all over him, which is hilarious because in last week's chapter he bought like 10 packs of condoms for NOTHING. And then after Sooyoung passed out, Taeji cleaned him, grabbed a chair, sat near the bed and masturbated to Sooyoung sleeping.
This is all I remember for their first time, then they wrote down a couple of other smut scenes they had in mind to give us a taste since they said it would've taken a long time for s3 and smut would've happened only after they became adults

This feels like POTN in the way that the plot keeps circling without going nowhere. They hate/suspect each other, they fuck, cute scene, they fuck, they hate/suspect each other, step forward to the revenge plot, they fuck, cute scene and so on.. of course we are now back to the hate/suspect each other. First season also lasted soo long i just hope the authors take their time to make more than one step forward to the actual plot... sad that we are in the slave sex arc though. It's been some time since I've read s1 but I don't get it why Yeonjo decided to poison him anyway when he knew the dose wasn't a lethal dose anyway. He is so careful all the time and worked so hard to get there so it's weird that he was so impatient, when he knew he wouldn't be able to kill him. If he really wanted to kill him he shouldve waited another opportunity, just do it well or don't do it at all that's so dumb

Its so sad and terrifying to read how detached and cold Brett is while doing a rape kit and describing his sexual assault. Unfortunately it's also a very realistic and common response. I also really appreciate that the author didn't use an entire chapter to draw very detailed and graphic rape scenes. It gives you sad hints and flashbacks about it so you can imagine what happened, while not committing to draw back to back multiple panels about it. Very detailed scenes of sexual assault are completely unnecessary in any type of media, directors and writers use them exclusively to cater those type of disgusting fantasies, good writers are able to describe an assault, make the public distressed about it and represent and validate victims without showing extremely explicit and graphic rape scenes.
absolutely loved this. Going into my favorites immediately, I love even more that it was a short story, so misunderstanding and angst were resolved quickly too. Also LOVED all the rain, water and drowning metaphors, I'm such a sucker for the backgrounds of the monologues ugh back when this had only one episode I went to sleep right after and I clearly remember I had a dream about this story, maybe that's why I feel so attached to this and the characters
