hmm ic. so beom is always bullying sooyeon because he fell in love with him. but they're half-siblings, so it's impossible to be tangled in romantic relationship because yuck, it's not alabama lol jk. anyway, that's why he's crude and treating sooyeon like garbage. because in beom's perspective, if they can't be lovers, then it's better to be someone who will stay forever in sooyeon's mind. and what's the easiest way to being memorized by someone? giving them painful memories of you ofc. because humans are naturally harder to forget people who hurt them
sooyeon stayed silent and do what beom wants all the time but that doesn't mean he didn't want to fight back. thus he's secretly sending curses over beom's family. that's why he stays late midnight to bury a pot containing blood, he's been sacrificing something for some time. so it's not some coincidence when the father and beom are sick and coughing blood at the same time. the reason why he also sending the father same curse because whenever beom bullied him, they never did something to stop him seriously. it's understandable why sooyeon really despise them to die

ngl at some first chapters i thought dohwi was terminally ill and died not long after, and sungjae who's having one-sided love towards dohwi imagining him being embraced by the ghost of dohwi. then it'd revealed that dohwi is still alive and kicking, but his complexion is indeed mad pale because he's technically a ghost's descendant lol. then on this chapter, sungjae getting a visit from his 'ghost guest' again and suddenly dohwi decided to confessing? i'm confused of these pacings;;;

may i get the link of movie "that man's nipple" from this chapter? it's for scientific purpose lol
anywayyy their date sounds fun. eventhough it was for his sister birthday, they still got to buy ice creams and eating out together. i just know myeongin used to either date or hook up with another girl, maybe because she was confused with her feelings towards jiwon? das why she's good in kissing;;;;;

actually i might like this story more if only rape scenes in prev chapters back could be erased. i mean it's clear that rafael, the second male lead, is psycho so you won't ship em up with louis. maetel got the chance to shine more but it feels like louis have no different choice lol
it might be better if marquis allayl step into the picture and lets us see him maybe he's a better candidate lolol

this manhwa demographic should be marketed toward masochist ig. every chapters dominated by pain lol
it's one of some manhwas that really relatable. if you blame one specific character, you probably haven't encounter people/things like this irl. someone who willing to turn toxic for the sake of love like youngwoo, someone who declare they just interested in no string attached rls (but end up falling for their partner) like kwon, someone who moving on using another person like taejoo, or someone who stucks in the past like hayoon. you can't really understand unless you've been in their shoes
they're meeting in the worst timing so they hurt each other. but when do people not hurt each other? we hurt another in the process of understanding and getting to know them. because each one of us is different. like hayoon who just realize how hard it was for taejoo, he couldn't take his feelings into account because he is not taejoo. or like taejoo in this ch, who end up hurting both youngwoo and hayoon because he couldn't bear the thought of hurting just one person. like youngwoo who used to only blame hayoon for suddenly coming back after what he did to taejoo, because he didn't know how it feels to be hayoon. in the previous chapter too, when kwon was angry and hurting hayoon with sharp words, tbh it's understandable (doesn't mean it's excused)--hurt people hurt people
AAAAND finally one more questions get a shred of light lol. seems like sooyeon likes dohwi just because of the smooth stares and smile that dohwi gave to him the first time they met. dohwi is also kind and he's warm, and for someone like sooyeon who never fully being loved all his life, that's enough a reason to fall in love. more simple than what i guessed first though
little did he know, dohwi wasn't staring at sooyeon but gazing on something behind the latter's back. that black shadow is invisible for another people but dohwi somehow can see 'it' because he either 1) have had been practicing the same kind of curse to sungjae ((by inviting those grotesque ghosts into sungjae's dream)) or 2) he's simply a ghost child so he can see his 'own kind'
