Team leader (TL) and Jinha's blonde ex could have been a good 2nd couple, but this is completed. The TL isn't as good of a person as most people think. He said he wanted to be friends with Hwane, but when Hwane was hurting and vulnerable, he jumped at the chance to sleep with him. Then he only blamed Hwane for hurting him when it's both their choice and fault. He knew that Hwane doesn't love him and that he just broke up with the person he loves. Thankfully, they both came to their senses. Hwane deciding to sleep with his boss, who had confessed to him before and is currently his friend, is stupid.

People who claim to love someone but sleep with another to "forget" or use them as substitutes don't make sense to me. It makes one question the depth of their "love" instead.

As for Jinha, it seems he pretended nothing happened to him and the blonde ex/situationship, so it's good that he apologized to him. He was also stupid in the past for getting a gf and saying he doesn't know that hyung (Hwane). No wonder Hwane's so traumatized. But I also understand he's young and has internalized homophobia. The blonde ex took his anger out on Hwane, which is wrong. Everyone is flawed, but the blonde ex is the most wronged here, and in the end, he supported (begrudgingly) Hwane and Jinha's reconciliation. I think he's the most likeable character. He even made a special drink for JH and kept those cards thing. He deserves someone who loves him as much. I wish he met the TL and they became a second couple, although I still don't fully trust the TL.

I've read this manhwa before but saw it on twitter, so I did a reread. The cover art is beautiful, I wish the whole manhwa looked like that.

I ship new handsome guy with Seunghoon (Daehan's bisexual friend) like the translator, haha. All of them are really good-looking.

Manifesting a real update.

That rating is criminally low. This manga discussed good life topics, like being realistic with your strengths & limitations. "How can I bridge the gap between what I want to do and what I can do." Not wanting to drag another person down because you are less skillful or talented, in sports and in life. I think it lacks something though, maybe because the story is a little too fast-paced. Or they should have shown more how these two fell in love.

Yatamori is both a promiscous kid and a victim. He's a minor, so the adult men he got involved with should have known better and refused him. But we don't live in an ideal world. I remember reading a post on twitter by a young (but not a minor) woman who joined a sugar mommy lesbian dating app. The women there told her she's too young and turned her down. Lucky for her, because most people (men or women) from dating sites/app are not ethical like that. Older men, especially, prefer younger ones because they are easier to groom and manipulate.

The question is, why is there no adult supervising Yatamori? Usually in cases like his, relatives take the the child in. The local authorities has system (foster care, financial aid, etc.) to ensure a minor is well taken care of.

That school doctor already know Yatamori is a problematic kid, but didn't even try to give him good advice or words of wisdom as an adult.

Minors/high school students having sex is not common in our country, that's why when I read mangas like this, I can't help but think that those puberty hormones can be channelled into studying, sports, and other club or fun activities. There are so many wholesome things to enjoy in childhood.

I love the main pair, but tbh Shuumei and Yuzuru's chemistry is amazing. That's probably why the mangaka made sure to emphasize they're just bffs. I understand why the dad lied, but he hurt both his wife and Jun. I wish he clears up everything.

Does anyone have the English translation of this novel please.

I read this because of the high ratings, and I think it's due to the realistic portrayal of depression and regret by Terrence, Jeff, Jeff's mom, and Greg (the sister's ex). Also, the two MCs have strong chemistry despite the underdeveloped way the author wrote their love story–that's what kept me reading. I like it, but I wish it was better written. I want more extra chapters about their new life, the doctors' story, and what went on with the dad and the sister.

1. Author could have written the beginning better. Jeff's actions were irrational. Kissing or trying to SA the brother of his dad's supposed mistress? I think if the author wrote Jeff and Terrence's childhood backstory/connection better, we'll understand why Jeff would feel that attracted to Terrence. But we only got bits and pieces of their memories of that time. At least Terrence seems to remember it fondly, but Jeff seems to have forgotten most of it (childhood amnesia).

2. We didn't get the full story of the two doctors. From what I understood, Doctor Zhang's sister died and that's probably why he was isolating himself and decided to leave town. They kissed and was implied to sleep together. Dr. Lian decided to chase Dr. Zhang later on, so it's clear that the female friend he talked to wasn't a girlfriend/fiancee like Dr. Lian feared.

4. The comments said that rape happened in the uncensored version. But the links provided were dead so I can't verify. So it looks like it was just attempted rape. That said, I just wish BL authors try to be more creative in their writing and stop using rape/SA to get two characters together.

5. So it seems that Jeff's dad and Terrence's sister did not have an affair since the rings doesn't fit. But no one can verify since they're both dead. It's sad how adults minds immediately jumped to "affair" when they saw the rings. I guess, it's because, as Jeff said, his dad wasn't a very good husband to his mom. One theory here said that the sister may have bought the rings for her and Terrence since it's his birthday. I wonder if she bought it for her and Greg (her ex) and she wanted to get back together and propose to him instead.

6. The college friends (support characters) also deserve to be shown in the extra chapters. They were good kids.

Renge, the mc/uke, is so innocent and endearing. I really wish the ml/seme were a better person who truly deserves him.

I like the first volume of this manga, but the story and art (the style changed) kinda lost their charm is it went on. I also wish that the ML showed more devotion/affection to the MC.
