out of nowhere, he starts freaking out about the alpha’s swollen cheek and reaches up to touch it. that's some bad writing IMO it seems like the author just throws a lame excuse for them to have skinship. i don’t think it would be that easy to do that to someone he’s had a rocky past with in their very first meeting, especially after ghosting him for a whole month. shouldn’t the beta be more upset? weirded out?
come on, don’t get swayed so easily! jihyuk needs to stand his ground and make it tough for the alpha to win him back. make the alpha work for it please

Finally! It's about time the story addresses Takamada's wicked side. Even if he doesn't act on it, it should be mentioned occasionally since it's a part of who he is. It wouldn't make sense for his behavior to change so abruptly without any remnants of his past self. The story wouldn't be coherent, no matter how dark it gets.
And at least now he’s genuinely trying to control himself.
all the need is proper communication please
