I think this whole toxicity label has gotten the best of most readers, so they can’t even recognize a good character when they see one just because the general relationship isn’t healthy. And in this case, it is Cole’s fault.
Alex did pull a prank on Cole in the first season when he lied that he cheated, and that was only to get a point across to Cole that he wasn’t interested in anyone else but him. Granted, he could’ve gone about it differently then maybe Cole wouldn’t have tried to threaten him.
But he isn’t a bad bf to the point people want to justify Cole’s cheating?? Cole is a horrible person and the issues he has with Alex are because of his projected insecurities. It’s not that he can’t have a healthy relationship with Alex, but he really does have him on a high pedestal and still thinks Alex is too good for him (which he actually is). Alex has expressed wanting to do other things with Cole — more than just the sexual — but all Cole has ever wanted was to get dick slapped and fucked raw. So Alex just follows suit.
Cole needs to sort out his personal issues before he gets into another relationship, because even if he were to get with Brad things would still go south.
exactly. and the funniest thing to me is that Cole was the one who comes to Alex first, bullshiting him that he was "in love" with him and point a gun at him over "cheating" while Cole can easily cheat himself and not feel any guilt about it, and worse he can easily decide to dump Alex for some other dude he meets after one month that he does not even know! it drives me crazy on how much hypocrite Cole is!
I do feel a little bad for Jihwa. He seemed to be Seungho’s main lover up until Nakyum came along and got him flung out lol. Poor guy, he was really in love with Seungho. But he needs to think clearly because if Seungho finds out he has anything to do with Nakyum getting hurt...
That troll might even tell Seungho.
Even though some persons said it seemed off that Seungho would threaten to stab Nakyum instead of the teacher, I think the official translation is correct. When Nakyum returned with Inhun in the previous chapters, Seungho almost choked Nakyum.
Tbh I preferred the unofficial translation because it made Seungho seem a bit gentler with Nakyum and indicated his jealousy towards Inhun, but the gesture of ruffling Nakyum’s hair and that soft smile does contrast his more dangerous side to signal some fondness for Nakyum.
The cycle of whining and arguing under this manhwa is getting old. No one has forgotten that rape exists in this manhwa; the need to bring it up again and again is really redundant cause we’re all reading the same material. It wouldn’t be so bad if there was actually something new being brought to the discussion but no: rape this, rape that. We get it. Rape bad. Seungho evil. Oh poor Nakyum. Just stop already.
Seungho is trying to keep himself in denial about what he feels for Nakyum. Does he really think it is impossible to have possessive/romantic feelings for Nakyum, considering all he’s done for Nakyum and the preferential treatment?
With the current friction between them though it may be what needs to happen for them to actually have conversation?
