Heonjae you sick mother fucker you are the lowest of them all
Having been beside Jingi this whole time, surely he wouldn't be clueless about what his brother had gone through under his uncle?? And with that offer already on the table beforehand...He's not clueless about the threats to Jingi's life. He simply can't be. No one can defend him and say he's mentally disabled or something.
And he'll do all this just to get the MC to himself. Who knows if one day Heonjae won't betray Mc like he'll do with his brother??? God I wish Jingi has some sort of idea about this and that he won't be completely blindsided when it happens. But it'll still be so sad regardless.
Like literally just don't eat it??? No one's forcing it into your mouth???
The way he betrayed Jingi and then confessing right at the moment Jingi was fighting for his life in the other tent not even 10 meters away? That's fucked up shit. Also, let's be honest here, he doesn't even care that it's Myeongil...he just wants someone who will love and care for him unconditionally. Something about that is so selfish to me.
Jingi at least cares about the both of them. When he said "Cell 2 is full" I realized he cares more about Myeongil than I initially thought. And he's accepted his role as Heonjae's caretaker. I don't see a reality where he ditches the brother role, but heonjae's already shown us he's capable of doing so /shrugs
Either way, in the real world, I wouldn't want either of them in my life bye

I liked it in a sense that I know I shouldn't: the characters are awful, but they're not so one-dimensionally awful that they can only be disliked. I think, in stories like this where the characters have gone through so much trauma on their own, it stops being about whether they deserve being with each other, but more about "Man, I'm just glad he has someone by his side"
I tried reading this like three times, and both two times I tried I was so weirded out by the the relationship dynamics. Wdym you like you're dead brother's ex? I'm glad I got past that initial disgust and finally read it in one go. It's such an interesting story despite the many things I had to stomach. I still feel queasy while writing this, so I would have to push the reread a long time into the future when I've forgotten about it so it can shock me again. Haha.
bc he always only slept on the floor when he was a just a baby dust bunny is so sad to me
The 용 you mentioned is actually just 응 as in "hm?" A verbal nod/acknowledgement response when being called by someone.
My heart was hurting for the baby and then grown Juwon with our poor mc appeared looking in peace and my tears just :((
But in other news I wonder how I can recognize the monster that the king is but still empathize with his unrequited love? Oh you even stopped yourself from dreaming of your affections ever being returned for fear of having empty hope? That is honestly so sad
I think this was the only way the older brother could have made peace with what happened. It's true he was violated and he knew it too, but he also sincerely(?) loves his younger brother...so I guess he didn't want to deny himself that. I think I get it, at the end of the day, his brother is someone he cares about, and perhaps he cares about him more than he hates what he did.
So much has already happened between them, none of it they can undo. There really is no going back unless he does something drastic like making himself and everyone around him believe that he's forgot about what happened. But in the end, they're still in some sort of play, and this time it was initiated by the older brother, [because now he knows that the younger bro won't hurt him like he used to (because of guilt)] and I think that's genius on the author's part.
It's been a long time since I put this on my want to read list, and I'm glad I read it all at once.
Truly one of the most romantic reads in a while, and they've never even voiced out their feelings for each other?? (except for the whisper)
Ml always asking for the mc's opinion every time was refreshing. He always(?) respected his wishes and made him feel seen and heard. And yet, their need for each other was never really verbalized. I fw with that. Just a mutual understanding that don't need words, a commitment to the other at the soul level. They're so...I want that for me.
Also! Isn't that the cutest baby you've ever seen in yaoi universe!
