After reading this about 2 years later, I now realize that Ginu literally r*ped Yubin in his sleep, forced himself upon him multiple times despite Yubin saying no and stop, doing whatever he wanted and not caring about Yubin's wants and needs, and was overall toxic despite changing as a person in the later chapters. I'm surprised they didn't have more fights surrounding those issues.
i didn't like how the rape scene had to happen. it seemed... unnecessary? and I feel like the story would've been just as good without it. taichi and naoto could've got into a normal fistfight or a verbal argument instead. it was really offputting to see taichi be that way towards naoto because up until that point he was seen as this "uwu cold, quiet, shy boy uwu." i couldn't help but feel different towards taichi after that scene.
but if you ignore all of THAT, then I think this was a good read and I recommend it :)
(edit) i also want to add I hate how they never brought it up again and just continued dating as if it didn't happen. that was v weird-
with every new chapter that comes out, i hold my breath out of fear of the unknown for these characters and their stories. i thought the dad was going to cut Yu Yang off for sure. and my heart couldn't take it, my stomach was churning. but when i realized he'd done instead, i couldn't stop smiling and my eyes began to tear up. imagine having parents who are willing to cut off toxic relatives for the wellbeing of their children.
I'm hoping his father isn't going to do what I think he's going to do. Cuz if he fuckin does what I THINK he's abt to do... i'ma cry yawl, plain and simple, just CRY. Homophobic parents are the worst thing ever. I was outed to my parents as gay by a doctor when I was 12 and now I feel that bc of that my dad hates me to hell and back. My grandma "hates homosexuals with a burning passion" and every second I'm around her I feel like she's going to sense that I'm not straight and be disgusted with me. And gosh, idk if my younger sister is homophobic or not. I love her too much to tell her and have her be disgusted with me bc of something I can't control. It really hurts when those around you just don't understand or they understand fully and don't make an effort to :((
Huan Wen is meeeee. I want to protect and love him. GOD IT HURT TO SEE HIM CRY. i feel his pain and i wish it would go away :(( In the past chapter I was afraid his grandpa wouldn't like him anymore, and now I'm worried he'll never be able to be with the one person who makes him happy :(( UGH. AFTER JUMPING OVER ONE HURDLE, 3 MORE POP UP >:((
diesel saving ein at the end and being happy together with the entirety of milena's family, as well as milena finally getting to be with iho made me happy :")
