forcing myself to become a jo-lover so the inevitable tj-second-male-lead-syndrome conclusion doesn't make me kms
Hahah real but bro in dear door i really really loved Cain still i couldnt go on because the friend was yearning so for the mc couldnt continue with this too bc my love for second male leads is a little too extremeee
i have long-standing beef with this comic but putting that aside; chapter 58, page 19.
heeseo forces taekyung to eat pomegranates on first day of confinement. in greek myth, a smitten hades abducts persephone into the underworld, and she refuses all food and drink, knowing the law of abode that states consuming fare in hade's realm will render you unable to ever leave.
when demeter finds persephone, hades acquiesces to her demand for persephone's freedom. persephone prepares to leave, hades offers her a pomegranate as a parting favour. and depending on the version of the myth; he tricks her, or persephone is fully aware of the consequences.
either way, she eats a handful of pomegranate seeds, inextricably binding her to the underworld, and by extension hades. persephone leaves but she has to return to hades every winter.
cool choice of visual, regardless of intention. i check on the story every now and then cause im curious which version of the myth it will mirror by the end.
i love when smart people give a little extra info to those of us who arent as knowledgable
Loved your view on it...but i didn’t find any such scene on the page you mentioned.. As I've read it quite a while ago i Can't remember if there was such a scene
this was my mistake ! it was not chapter 58, it was chapter 53 !
