Yes, this story has a warning, and obviously is gonna be toxico asf, but people trying to justify Tae’s behavior is concerning. Yes Sooyong likes rough sex, but that doesn’t give Tae the right to be so possessive over Sooyong. How he manipulates him, and basically is okay with PERMANENTLY INJURING HIM just so he can stay by his side is really scary. They’re in a relationship, this giving Sooyong a valid reason to be worried when Tae isn’t honest about something, or acting suspicious. Sooyong isn’t asking to be treated like he can’t do things for himself and to be manipulated and all of the things under that umbrella. If he wants to go outside, since Tae isn’t being honest about why he shouldn’t and just using fear and sex to keep him where he is then he should still be able to do as he pleases. He’s still a human being. Not an inanimate object. He has found himself in a very compromising position. Obviously he cares for Tae, but can’t fully trust him, and he has every reason not to. That man can be scary, even his subordinates notices it. It’s getting out of hand.
So now I have to figure out how to tell my therapist that not only did I read this but during the scene where Jinyoo was taken into Sungtae’s cell and found him laying there as if he was lifeless that I bursted out laughing……..I-
Pick your poison:Psychopath or Sociopath…..
Hyungseo: Get manipulated, beaten and your teeth pulled out while getting sexually harassed and have a very high chance of possibly dying.
OR
Seungeon: Get gaslighted, manipulated, stalked and physically assaulted constantly and then when you try to leave, never be able to safely, and possibly get locked away and or killed.
Either way you’re fucked. Our poor jiwook. This ain’t gonna do bby.
Sidenote(s): Number one, seungeon definitely got the early 2000’s yaoi hands going on. Them muthafuckas BIG.
Number two: Why tf did Seungeon look like that when he was masturbating with jiwook? He’s hella aggressive
I feel really bad for Eusung. He’s been pressured his whole life to do and be “the best he can be”, and it’s not even HIS best it’s all for others. Their validation. The pressure that they put on him is really toxic. They don’t even seem to take a step back and realize how damaging that is to him. People can hide things like that under “good intentions” but for many that’s not the case. Take for example his professor. He’s hiding his malicious intent behind “good intentions”.
Yes I can understand where his parents are coming from, but it’s their responsibility as his parents to also listen to what he wants to do because it is his life. This is how people end up fucked up and lost when they get old enough to finally not give af. I know some people would disagree with this and feel as though they wished they’d had a similar experience, but until you’ve been through it will you actually realize how isolating and mentally exhausting it actually is.
I really hope Soohyun gets his head out of his ass, and learns to at-least try to understand where Eunsung is coming from. Have some empathy. I know from experience, Eunsungs life only looks good from the external gaze. Unless you’re actually him, and in his head would you realize how utterly fucked it actually is.
Okay I know we were all waiting for this moment, but can I just say…….THEY FINE ASF! Like I’m amazed at how fine Mr. *cough* Coral *cough* Snake is like damn. Got me mesmerized and shit. I’m over here trying to pay attention to what they got going on but he’s just too fine.
So, I was rooting for Tae and Sy relationship in the beginning, but he’s giving me very much dangerous yandere vibes, which hey I am down for....sometimes, but his is highkey scary. The manipulation. The fact that he was okay with getting SY permanently injured just to keep him by his side is SCARY. LIKE RUN, RED FLAG! RED FUCKING FLAG. Even the people under him see how overly obsessive he is about SY........Scary.
Min is fine, aside for the fact that he can be a prick and manipulative asf, AND that he took advantage of SY without his sober, in his right mind consent (he’s a red flag as well) but like not as seriously worrying as Tae. Still I really wonder who SY is going to end up with. Their all honestly(atleast when looking at in in real life terms) people you HAVE TO steer clear of.
Luckily this is a book and I’m smart enough not to romanticize such toxic behavior so all I gotta say is......I’m here for it
