It was so short... Dammit, I need more. I feel like the more it goes on, the more their relationship gets confusing. They can't love each other, they just want to own the other. At first I sympathized because I thought he just wanted to be free from Jesse, but now that I read Law's thoughts I feel like he just wants Jesse to want, desire and need him more. Jesse on the other hand, is no innocent either, since he wants Law by his side, to be the only one for him. He probably wants to be chosen by Law, wants him to realize that he shouldn't and can't live without him, just like Jesse does with him. This is just a sick possessing game... Can't say that I hate it, it makes me want to read more to see who will win this sick game and if there is still someone who will win. Honestly, Moritat is my favourite manhwa so far because it's so trippy and "gray", without a real "villain" and a real "hero".
So... Law wants Jesse to acknowledge that he is important to him (Jesse) but at the same time he wants to be the one controlling Jesse and not the other way around. I still don't understand why Jesse is so hesitant about showing Law how he perceived him... Is it "love" anymore? It feels like a battle for control on the other one
I dont think there is love between them. It is just a superiority competition
It never felt like love to me.... Law just doesn't like being the one on the receiving end of things. He likes to be the one holding the strings, so to speak. I do believe that's his 'reward'.
I think it would be love if the two of them weren't so messed up. But I'm not sure that Jesse is even capable of love for anyone other than his parents. As for Law, he's never been loved by his parents or anyone so wouldn't really know how to show it for someone correctly (especially someone as difficult to manage as Jesse). Their relationship has always had an unequal power dynamic (as has all of their relationships with other people). I think it makes sense that Law would want to be the one in control rather than the one always worrying about being abandoned. I don't think either of them truly knows how to be in a healthy relationship, but maybe if I'm lucky they'll figure it out in time for a happy ending.
"But I'm not sure that Jesse is even capable of love for anyone other than his parents."
-- I don't think that's true because we see how lenient Jesse became of Law and if emotions weren't the reason for that than there's no way he'd had been lenient in the first place. Remember when he called Law at midnight knowing full-well Law was awake, and Law didn't call him back nor show up until 3 AM? Jesse didn't get mad at him or rebuke him, instead he listened and heard him out (and wanted to get intimate). And then, in this most recent chapter, Jesse's inner monologue shows him regretting tricking Law with that pre-recorded video. He showed remorse for doing that to Law, which is a sign of compassion/love. That's just current time-frame displays of emotion as well. We know that later on, in Moritat, he also develops feelings for Law to the point that he wanted to commit double-suicide with him. tl;dr - Jesse definitely ends up falling in love with Law, but the way he expresses his affection is not in a clear-cut way we're used to seeing.
"I don't think either of them truly knows how to be in a healthy relationship"
-- I agree with this; honestly I think the closest they were to "healthy" was when they were both in their last days of Moritat (and probably some in-between-conflict time period we don't get to see because it's not plot relevant).
People who've seen the raws for the next few chapters are not giving me any good vibes for Law's future.
I'm with you though; I totally hope that in the end these two end up as allies. I just have this feeling that won't happen, and that someone's going to die after all of this.
I actually cried when they were talking to his mum... Such a heartful scene, it was so pure, too pure for my dirty soul and mind that wanted them to kiss and sleep together after that
I hate to admit it but me too
:3
Well, I'm glad there're still some chapters left... So this one was before the confession right?
The only sad thing about his father's death is that Min Gyeom never got the chance to tell him directly to f*ck off and that thanks to him now he has people that love and care about him
It makes so confused... What does Law want? I don't understand. I... Need more. Please, give me more.
There are a few things missing that make this ending bittersweet. We didn't see almost nothing of their third year and the trip they were supposed to have in their second year disapperead. Kiyomine has never called Takara by his name and still calls him "shorty". Oh I there wasn't an actual kiss or at least Takara starting the kiss, I'd have been happy even if it was kinda "censored" like the others
But is his body really dead? Maybe Siwon is in a coma...
no :(
we have to assume that when Woojin said taemin wasnt himself when he died (that he just accepted his deat), that Siwon was in Taemin's body and died along with it.
it sounds too much like Siwon anyway... Siwon was done with life so he just gave into death.
Why? Like I said, below, it would be more logical to assume based on what Woo Jin has already said and done, that he meant Tae Min's SOUL was gone.
This took me a while to read but it was absolutely worth it. It was so good and i loved the art style
