The uke gangraped the seme when they were young. But how did the uke completely forgot about that? Yeah he hasnt recognized the seme yet, but still before all this had started he was already acting like a total ass. His personality was shitty since the beginning trying pick a fight for no reason. He has no remorse about anything whatsoever. So i think the uke is in general a bad guy thats the bottom line, the uke is actually a bad guy.

correct. i don’t remember the specific circumstances, but the jiwook suffered physical trauma that wiped his memory, including of everything he did to juyeon (and knowing juyeon). idr if juyeon ACTUALLY knew jiwook completely lost the memories until at least the end of the story but regardless jiwook doesn’t know why juyeon is doing this to him genuinely. when jiwook finds out it’s what causes him to break, basically - becoming completely dependent on juyeon, depressed, suicidal, and believing he deserves torture and abuse.

Found a poem perfect for this novel. Ctto*
Roses are my favorite flower
their beauty and simplicity
reflect the natural world
you planted roses for me
gave me a bed of pedals to lie in
and brushed a rose behind my ear
but if a rose bloomed, each and every time i have cried over you
I could create my own garden, watered with the tears of my sorrows
each thorn pierces as i walk, a reminder of what i had lost
I don't feel the pain in my ankles when my heart
is in shambles
I don't see the blood blending in with the petals
with my tears nurturing them
because in another life, i am here with you
strolling through this garden
and you'd hold my hand
pick a rose
and get down on one knee to propose.
….. ╥﹏╥
Just finished rereading. Ah such a comfort story. (⌒▽⌒)
