This isn’t really a spoiler since it’s in the summary, but I saw the raws (ch 3) and the uke slept with both a woman and a man. I honestly just feel bad for characters like the seme. He gave his first time to someone he truly loved. Whatever reasons the uke might have for sleeping around, it doesn’t excuse hurting someone innocent, especially a virgin who genuinely cared for him. If you want to live that way, fine, but don’t drag others with sincere feelings into it.

Will there be side stories for the 2 brothers? Jungwoo needs therapy & a happy ending too. I read a comment saying that maybe he was always sick as a child because of the constant rape. F*ck all pedos in fiction and real life.
Jaekyung’s realization feels underwhelming, maybe because his backstory is told through his coach instead of his own perspective. But maybe we will get that in the future. I think what the story needs is a raw confrontation where Dan finally lets out all the pain, resentment, and even the love he has been holding in. Jaekyung has to understand how cruel he has been to Dan and how self-centered he still is to truly change. We need to see him break down, cry, and desperately beg for Dan’s love and forgiveness.
I have such a toxic relationship with this manhwa. A part of me wants to stop reading it, yet I can't because I want to see Kim Dan finally be happy, cared for, and loved.
Novel readers said there are many changes made in the manhwa and Rishar is not like this. Read the comment here:

I hope there are side stories about their happily ever after. Also, we need the love story of the 2nd couple (fox boss x Na-in).
Based on the creator note, artist-nim doesn't plan on adapting the new bonus chapters from the novel? Or did I misunderstood that? If true, I hope she changes her mind. I hope to see more from this artist because her art is so beautiful.
Yeah, her art is definitely top tier for me. Both the ML and MC are so beautiful in different ways.
I read and reread the beginning chapters countless times, with the misunderstanding and confession. I will miss this.
I was reading the official translation, and the afterword in Toui’s book made me check the unofficial translation, because I don't remember it sounding so impersonal and a bit cold–referring to his boyfriend as “roommate.” The unofficial version feels much warmer and more personal.
Unofficial:
To the person living with me, of whom I borrowed his name from, thank you. Please take care of me.
Official:
To my roommate whom I got the name of the protagonist from. Thank you always, and best regards.
Chapter 5
Unofficial:
"I love you. I'm sorry. I really do... love you."
Official:
"I love you. I'm sorry. I really do think... I love you."
This was supposed to be the last time they would make love, so Toui was really clinging to Tsukushi, wanting him to "Come home". That’s why the unofficial translation feels more natural.
I know it might sound nitpicky, but the difference really changes the meaning and vibe of the scene. In the official version, Toui comes across as more uncertain and distant, while in the unofficial version he feels more desperate and sincere.
Still, this is a really good story. Quite realistic. I just wish the author had shown more of how Toui changed and wrote more extra chapters. I've rated this 5/5 a long time ago.
fr disappointed me too I hate when officials do that.... thank you for your valuable informative input more ppl should know (read the unofficial for this one, but support the author by buying the official!)
I bought the official physical manga yrs ago and it was still sad but it didn't hit as hard as the unofficial
Glad that I'm not the only one who noticed! Yeah, it's really sad that it didn't deliver the same emotional impact. The afterword of Toui’s book is supposed to be an emotional peak, showing us how much he loves Tsukushi, even when he gets lost in his novel writing. That’s why I was confused when I reread it, because I remembered feeling like I wanted to cry during that part, but the official translation didn’t make me feel that way.
Most official translations tend to Americanize the text, which doesn't evoke the same emotions. While most fan translators do it out of love for the manga, and they genuinely want to share it with others so most of them keep the Japanese nuance intact. “Please take care of me” feels so much warmer and more heartfelt than “Best regards.”
But of course, we still need to buy the official releases to support the author. Kudos to you OP for that!
omg sorry for the late response but yes queen/king/monarch, I agree with everything you said ♡
Just wanna add even in manhwas the officials butcher the original words uttered/thought out and there had been many cases of such instances that it even went viral! It's frustrating when you find out abt it cuz it's lit butchering the character lmao... neewayz, I prefer scanlations most of the time and 'm grateful for them. (Even the machine-translated ones if no officials yet, officials >> mtl) but still, I think buying the official books just to collect and support is great! you literally get to hold peak in person and that's so cool >u<)
