The idea was great with two broken people trying to fill the gap with pleasure, but instead learned to love each other's brokenness even tho they have their indenial and avoidant stage bc of how scared Damon is from failing again. BUT goddamn, i got the gist of it but the storytelling wasn't really that great i get confused with what's happening and all the blabber. You get to know they both have undesirable past, but you won't understand it that deeply. It wasn't delved into it that much leaving you with surface knowledge of the plot.
Coming here after (regrettably) reading Love Jinx cleansed my palate right from badly executed yandere seme. That's how you do it to redeem yourself when you know you fucked up Taeju! I was hesitant to read this because of rape and suicide tag cos i only want a stress-free reading but good thing i pushed through. It's not that heavy and you know it was executed well bc of how much Yaeju really want to redeem himself and even giving up for Euihyun's sake bc he realized he was hurting him. In the end, he's the one who made Euihyun love himself and see what's it worth living for. Taeju is a good mix of green and red flag, so you can't help but to like him and the brothers are so adorable i know its hard to resist not to take care of them. Im so happy for them and now i can't wait to read the side stories
Just a heads up so there will be less like me that read it without knowing until the end. I ain't complaining tho, get well author.
And tbh, *spoiler ahead**** it's not that great. Woojin is a psycho and everyone of Haekyung's lover/ex is fucked up. Woojin kinda redeemed himself in the end because he's protecting Haekyung from another psycho, but it doesn't mean he's not one himself. It's like watching a small animal got passed around by a bunch of Hyenas. Haekyung is no better. *sigh* He always ended up being used and manipulated and HE DIDN'T EVEN END UP WITH SOMEONE GENTLE! There's no butterfly here. The only redeeming thing about it is their face.
The ending was so confusing, like dude you said you love him and then go all this length to avoid him but also desperately wanting to see him in secret (watch the play which he couldn't) and had a break down when it doesn't go your way. Then went stupid by running out in a taxi???? What's happening? Communicating without running away isn't on the table??? Now im just annoyed and not rlly feeling the butterflies that they sort it out on the beach
Hot fluff read with no toxicity. I'm here for it
