Honestly I prefer the novel, I read the novel first so I’m definitely biased but the writing and translation is just amazing and I felt like I understand the characters much more when I read the novel compared to reading the manhwa. Anyways, I’m not at all hating on the manhwa, it’s just personal preference and I thought maybe some ppl would be interested in reading the novel ^_^ The novel is already completed and is now on the extras and side stories.

Can you spoil what will happen between him and his dad?
Sure!
This is after everything that happened w/ Jihos shady job. Jiho tells Woojeong everything about his dad (forcing jiho to pay off the debt, the abuse, gambling, his drinking). He gets comforted by Woojeong and the next day hes alone in the house and looks for Woojeong, he finds Woojeong w/ his dad giving him an envelope. His dad looks angry when reading the contents of it, Jiho thinks his dad is gonna hit Woojeong and steps in holding a butter knife or smth, he was aiming for his dad but missed and cut Woojeongs hand a bit, jiho freaks out and gets dragged away from the scene by Woojeong. Some stuff happens, but everything gets resolved and at the end of the novel Woojeong says he’s gonna throw his dad in jail for abuse and something else (gambling I think), and force him to give up his parental rights (I think those were the papers in the envelope) In the extras Woojeong asks Jiho if he wants to go in court and see his dad’s sentencing (he says no) and that’s pretty much it for now, but I doubt his dad will get mentioned again in the side stories
There are lotsss of stuff that lead up to everything happening and it all happens near the end of the novel but that’s the gist of what happened to him and his dad
Never knew this was adapted from a novel. Thank you for the link!
thank u for the link! which chapter would i start on to pick up from the manhwa? or would you recommend just starting from the beginning?
Np! To pick up from the manhwa start on ch 11.4, honestly though I would recommend reading from the beginning it’s a lot of chapters to go though but personally I think it flows really well
Np!
Lol okay I’m a little nervous on how everything is going to play out.. That whole sex party scene in ch5 surprised me, I really do hope Seo-in isnt a trash person and hurts Yeongwoon but based on the prologue I doubt it I’m hoping that the person Seo-in was kissing in hs isnt the same person in the family picture but it probably is, they both have the same beauty mark. Have no clue who the guy at the end of ch5 is, maybe he knew Yeongwoon when he used to do judo? I’m really not sure. Overall it’s interesting, i hope everything will be fleshed out
If you're referring to the red head that's his friend (since at least middle school), the one that warned him about getting too close to Seo-In, when the teacher had asked YW to tutor SI. He is on break from the military so they met up during his break. Then YW borrowed his bike. And EWWW....don't tell me they're blood related. That's....gross...and wasn't mentioned..... I so hope they're not in the least bit related.....this story is complex enough without incest. pWease!
Oh that's ch. 6
Ch. 5 is the Mafia boss who is the owner of the agency that YeongWoon work at as a manager for HaeYool.
Aaaa I see okay thanks!
LOL those are my thought too, I’m really hoping they aren’t brothers but apparently this author has already done a story where the main leads are step brothers… still hoping they aren’t brothers or step brothers but at this point idek
Step is ok.
For blood-related though, I suppose if it's a lesbian or gay ship it's ok, since they can't produce offspring, which is what is the real issue. (According to science it's best to mix the gene pool so the likelihood of producing offsprings with genetic defects are lesser, and isn't carried down the generations.)
But yeah. Not into the whole incest thing though.
Step I guess can depend since they're not blood related but I think the issue is if they had always had a brotherly relationship then it would be weird.
It's just blood brothers/sisters is just don't know....or aunt and uncle or first cousins....then no. And by blood meaning half-siblings still are blood related.
Oh, and worse if it's parent-child incest.... Like eww
Tbh won and jinha annoy and make me cringe sometimes (mostly because of the dialogue), this could have been better if they didn’t fuck so much and it focused more on the suspense
Insane how there’s only been 7 chapters and the male lead is already such a piece of shit. It’s to be expected ofc but still, it only took SEVEN chapters?????
