If you're too scared to read chapter 20, I'll save you the trouble and tell you what happens.
TLDR:
The rape didn't start YET, but it definitely will in chapter 21. :(
Jiwook gets captured by those guys, but it actually wasn't as violent as I expected (although he does get his stomach stomped on once, which makes him puke and then pass out). It's obvious that Juyeon gave them "permission" to do whatever. Jiwook wakes up naked on a bed (possibly in his own apartment).
LONG VERSION:
* Jiwook gets cornered in by the creepy dude, plus two others. Jiwook takes a minute to even remember who the guy is, and says that he forgot the whole incident from last month, so an apology isn't necessary. (Drunk and oblivious to the threatening nature of the situation.)
* Creepy Dude orders the other two to grab him. Only then does Jiwook realize he's in danger; he punches elbows one of those guys in the face, manages to get himself free, and makes a run for it; while they chase after him.
* While chasing him, apparently one of the dudes took a different route; running ahead to jump out at Jiwook at the end of the street, and kicking him in the stomach.
* While Jiwook's writhing in pain on the ground, he asks Creepy Dude if he's doing this for revenge. Creepy Dude basically says no---"Do I look like a fucking kid to you?" Meanwhile, while his attackers talk amongst themselves, Creepy Dude mentions that they "got the go ahead" to do whatever they want.
* Jiwook asks if he wants an apology. Creepy Dude says no, and then proceeds to stomp on Jiwook's stomach, making him puke. They talk about cleaning his face, and also taking him somewhere, while Jiwook passes out.
* Jiwook dreams/hallucinates about Juyeon walking into the ocean; remembering when he threatened him to "behave."
* Jiwook wakes up after water is splashed on his face. He's naked, lying on a bed. (I'm pretty sure it's his own bed, at his own apartment.)
I was on that kid's side until he started acting all suspicious and called her "interesting"....Ick.
Pregernaught? Pregante? Pragnant?
Omg i was about to write the exact same thing from that meme! XD
pregunant
So if it really WASN'T his kid, he thinks it okay to tell him to abort the baby???? When he CLEARLY wants to keep the child?????
That is really fucked up. Total Dick Move right there.
RIGHT?? I was mad as hell, and still am mad about that actually
I think he was js pissed that gyuha was with someone else and carrying someone else’s baby, not the right way to treat the news but he let his feelings control him
cuz he's a piece of shit and thinks the world revolves around him and what he wants!
BRUH. WHAT THE HELL IS WITH HAYDEN'S REACTION????
I think Brett was very well-spoken here, he made it very clear that everything he did (NOT telling Hayden about the rape that day, going on trial, etc.) was to protect HIM. Idk why he doesn't get that, since Hayden himself is also wants to protect
Brett. But even though Brett LITERALLY SAYS he's trying to prevent Hayden from committing perjury by limiting the information he tells him, he sees it as Brett being closed off???? IF BRETT DIDN'T CARE, HE WOULDN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU KNEW, DAMMIT!!!
I really like both of these characters, but Hayden is straight up making everything about himself and his own "hurt feelings" here. I get that he's frustrated from all the previous lack of communication this Brett, but then the one time Brett fully communicates what's going on behind the scenes, he gets upset. He confirms Brett's fears; that his affection will always be misunderstood and unappreciated.
ARGHHHH, IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!!
I've got a feeling that that sick bastard's gonna try to rape him again. When he does, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HE BETTER BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM!!!!! Make good use of those muscles!!!!!
I HOPE HE NEVER RETURNS AND THAT THIS PSYCHOTIC BASTARD GOES THROUGH HELL
I’m with you on that sister/brother. Like my bro needs to get the fuck out and stay out. He needs his self confidence back because that bastard is not it
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LEAVE HIM!!!!!
YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS, BABY BOY!!!!! (˚ ˃⌓˂ )
Bruh. BRUH.
It's objectively true that you firced into marriage tho (you forced him into LITERALLY EVERYTHING)?!?!?!
You were fully aware what you were doing at that time, why are you getting pissy about it now, dumbass?!?!?! >:(
I really hope the kid doesn't grow up to be a psycho like his dad.... :(
I fully hope he grows up to be just like Zigril but in the only way that counts which is that pure condensation that is only aimed at Zigril
The author is clearly the type to glorify manipulation, gaslighting, and straight up forcing un-consensual acts like marriage.
So I hope that baby grows up with all the love for Kay and gives Zigril the biggest dose of his own medicine
