I see a lot of confusion, so let me sum up the story :
ML and MC used to have a crush on each other back in highschool. MC was a promising judoka under his father’s training, and ML was a fan of his. They played around without confessing their feelings. They hang out, sometimes with ML’s step bro (ch10), who is older than ML (ch9).
Step bro has poor health, and so a personal doctor (ch6: said doctor says she used to be. Ch8 she recognize MC, from back he was in highschool. So yeah, step bro had poor health for quite some time).
One day, MC stumble on ML kissing someone else in a classroom (ch2). He breaks his friendship with ML as to not get his feelings even more hurt.
But, something is revealed to us in ch20 and 21. We can see the picture of the kiss better, and something is wrong.
Back in highschool. ML had black hair. He has a mole under his right eye and one under his lips on the left side. His bro has light hair, and only one mole, under his lips on the right side. But on the kissing picture… ML (black hair), has no mole under his right eye, but a mole under his lips on the right side.
ML his really surprised, to say the least, by MC breaking his friendship with him « so arbitrarily. » (ch21). His step bro tells him that people couldn’t « possibly be genuine with him ».
MC had problems at home at the same time. His father was in debt. (Ch26) That’s how he first met his brown haired hyung, Taegu (the debtor one.) Taegu observed that MC’s dad might be abusing MC.
ML leaves the country for three months, and is hurt that MC didn’t come see him off. Step bro bullies MC, and visibly makes him go through huge trauma (ch31). So much is still sometimes take medication 10 years after.
MC ran away from home, and gets help from Taegu (the debt guy, ch27). Taegu acts kind of like MC’s hyung. ML comes back home, and is even more broke hearted learning MC has run away.
Years pass by. ML and step bro don’t get along (say other family member in ch8).
Step bro dies.
10 years pass by. Taegu works now in the entertainment industry at a high position, and got MC a job as a manager. He pays MC a higher rate than his other managers (ch26).
MC’s only contact with his father is paying his debts and hospital bills (ch25.) His father is in poor health.
ML is still a model like when he was a teen. He sleeps around and doesn’t get attached to anyone in particular.
MC meets ML again. ML has held a grudge against him all this years. But he wants him still. So ML hires MC, MC accepts cause he still got lingering feelings. ML abuses MC multiples times on the pretense of broken heart when they were teens. They both are confused thought really attracted to each other.
MC thinks ML just wanna use his body. He wants to protect his feelings but at the same time wants to be near him.
ML doesn’t understand MC. He wants to use his body and hurt him so to not feel anything for him anymore. But at the same time wants him for himself. And he doesn’t understand why MC acts interested in him but places limits « out of nowhere » (from his point of view)
So yeah, communication is key guys.
Im so confused rn. The kissing scene in the classroom on chapter 20 the black hair have a mole under his lips on the right side right? But in chapter 2 if you scroll down a bit you can see the same panel the kissing scene on the classroom, the black hair doesn't have any moles on under the lips but a mole under his eye.. Im confused if it's really his brother or seo-in...
This flashback sequence is so damn long gosh ! And makes us learn absolutely nothing. Felt like a dare between artists on how many cases they could reuse. They could have summed it up in one or two ep max, didn’t need to make us read the whole thing over again with only two intern monologues we could have understood by ourselves from his face…
Right?! There was zero point of the 2nd pov, they literally have the same feelings, same thoughts. The two POVs are the same in pretty much every way it didn't help the story at all and didn't even help with character development because it only showed what we already knew. I guess it helped show how lonely eegum was but they could've EASILY done that in 1-2 chapters, didn't need that many.
ML is so creepy ToT The author tries to pass it off as cute, but brrr. Being in « love » with someone he just saw sleeping in a hospital bed ten years, only once? You could find someone pretty, but being this infatuated looks more like a fetish than something else, it could have been any random person sick in hospital.
And one can be a « monster in bed* and still excuse himself for hurting the other, ask how their partner is feeling, and take more time for their partner to adjust. And he freaking kept going when MC was passed out, such a predatory action ToT
The way I see it (thought the author doesn’t seem to see it themselves), ML just has a kink for weaker and impaired people he can have all control of. Dude was even jealous of one of MC’s only friend, instead of being happy for him to have people who care for MC. Yuck.
Anyway this is still a story, with visibly poorly written characters. Author tried for the childhood love story and possessive ML, but turned him into a creep instead. As long as we all keep in mind that his attitude is something one would never want in real life, I guess it’s alright…
I know it’s porn, and that I shouldn’t put this much thought about this, but… Dragon doing MC from his back them from his front, and back and forth, just makes his dicks change place from MC’ass into his pussy. Not really clean nor a safe practice if I may say
wipe front to back as they say
