ATP I don’t even care about Dan and Jaekyung and what happens of them. I’m just reading to see how they end up together after all the shit Jaekyung has put Dan through (and the sort of impossible to achieve redemption arc). Can we just move onto the side stories so that I can see more of the pink-haired guy and potato? They seem so cute!!!
Usually, I don’t like plots that firstly have some form of incest and secondly a huge age gap. However, in this case, I feel conflicted because I can see why the older cousin likes Masaki (though not justified AT ALL!). I feel like it’s not a child that he liked but rather the validation and solace he found in Masaki’s innocent cheers for continuing to exist. It feels like he liked Masaki’s unawareness of the struggles of life once you enter adulthood and thinking that having a job is the biggest possible thing for an individual (which inevitably comes with being young). I feel like Haru would have maybe liked anyone who believed in him and cheered him to keep going, like Masaki did for him. Haru’s self loathing and self depreciating nature just needed someone who can offer him kind words, hence why he displaced all these emotions and feelings onto his younger cousin.
[P.S. I don’t support or agree with Haru’s actions and thoughts. These are just my two cents on the characters.]
So much so for Jooin being all preachy and how he doesn’t deserve to be treated like a doormat by Yahwi to taking him back years later without any context. That guy abused and manipulated you but ofc a guy who hides part of his life and treats you kindly is more problematic.
I really wish I never read this BS back in 2021. Wouldve saved me from getting so annoyed finding out who the endgame is. Those two idiots deserve each other. Cain, my baby, I hope you’re happy <3
even as one of the biggest Jaekyung hater, him with his hair down kinda had me fumbling. praying for shorter redemption arc bc i want to see him begging and acting pathetic already
