this is on hiatus for the korean version, so when does hiatus kick in for this? and then for 2 months.. that's crazy. i was going to start reading it too and then another hiatus. i had this marinating for MONTHS. guess it'll have to marinate some more...

is it cause of the plagiarism or something author mentioned on twitter, which i don't know what that was about tbh.

the ending felt rushed. like bum leaves his best friend to go after yeonwoo, and then yeonwoo and bum go on a trip. i hope in the side stories they give context to all that, and yeonwoo being the kid that stopped bum from killing himself.

but either way sooo cute. i appreciated them finally communicating, and i didn't like the whole fucking my bf to get back at him for lying chapters. but yeonwoo is still the cutest. i love love love nothing more than eepy weepy tops.

also glad that hyuk fella didn't get much screen time. honestly so stupid. you had feelings this whole time and never said anything, was he supposed to wait for you? it's like such a common trope in kdramas too lol

please i know "hyuk" is common name in korea, but every time i read it, i think of goofy lmao, please why did goofy have to say that so often

i really enjoyed them both. they're really young and immature, even a little ridiculous at times. but i like how they became more honest with each other eventually. OH and there was that scene where jungwon played with hyesung's balls during a bj. i swear that's something you don't usually see in BLs. i enjoyed seeing that

just wish we could've seen the outfits. like it was so hyped, and we just saw that one sunbae's outfit ... maybe the author didn't have anything to draw that was groundbreaking lol

love love beefy bottoms, but man why couldn't we see him pregnant with their baby? weren't they supposed to fuck him pregnant so his heat can stop from the injection. so then are we to assume he's not pregnant?
also the apartment complex in chapter 6 is the same as jaekyung's penthouse in jinx lmao

the painful backstory I wanted. but damn this shit got hands. from that little skrunkly thing (affectionate), to that smaller version of his present self. he worked so hard for everything he has. no matter what mingwa decides, I don’t want to ever see jae losing all he built. if he ever leaves the UFC it’s on his own volition.

now we’ve already established that backstories are for nuance. like this is the part where you empathize. so that’s what I’m doing. the trauma. he tells his alcoholic father that he can die, and that’s exactly what the man does. all he wanted to do was show his dad his trophy after the match and he dies. at that point it seems purposeful, since fuck ass dad said he’ll die before he see’s shit. and you know what. for everything his dad was, jaekyung never swung back. he only pushed him away in the chapter.

also jae’s ears. they aren’t cauliflower ears. and then jumin, that fuckass gremlin. when he and jae met up pre-match he said “are you gonna cry like a little baby when you lose?”.. does that mean he made jk cry when he was younger? what if he’s responsible for the ears? ughhhhhhh I hate it. i hate the thought of having to see that. and then the jinx. who made him have the fuckin sex jinx?!

like i’m loving the information being given. but I also miss them. I miss kyungdan. I miss dan in general. I want to know dan's thoughts on all this. i hope we get a dan care for sick jae moment. I still feel like there’s much backstory to go, and maybe it sums up from the coach's POV next chapter. even so, I want to let this marinate. see y’all later when we're at 76 ...maybe

now that we got a portion of the much needed backstory, jaekyung's behavior makes so much sense (not justified, but once again adding nuance). he comes from an abusive upbringing and trained and trained in hopes of getting his mom to return. he really worked so hard to become something from nothing without any family. then comes dan, a "wimp" in his eyes, 29 years old, living in a fucked up situation while he's 26 and successful. jaekyung cannot grasp this concept, hence his disdain.

jae's closest of kin are namwook and yosep. the gym members are just colleagues. tbh i think namwook can be pretty lenient at times just to appease jae because of his anger. he's had no parental figure besides the gramps who he hasn't been around in a long time since jae moved to seoul. once again makes so much sense about his behavior. as it stands, i don't think jaekyung was ever taught care, consideration, or empathy. so how would he then be able to express that towards another person/ DAN?

if we're being honest, i don't think jaekyung can even take care of himself. he knows enough to get by and just works himself to the bone with 3 hours of sleep, grilled chicken, a glass of milk, and a side salad. which is how he got injured in the first place.

i hope next chapter we get the end of jae's backstory from gramps perspective and eventually jaekyung can then explain his jinx and how he even got it. i hope outspoken gramps is able to talk some sense into him and maybe mingwa can let us know what the hell they were talking about when they went for a stroll.

then lastly, and most important, a kyungdan moment where lovesick cold having jae has an episode of accidental vulnerability because his fever is too high.

10, or well 11 days in this case is a hell of a lot shorter than 3 months, but i want moreeeeeee...

i've said i'd hope this got a r19 version and kaoru just blessed us with it. sending the utmost of thanks

I asked for a painful and sad backstory and mingwa delivered. it’s exactly what I wanted. long chapter too. oh my god babie jae, that little skrunkly thing.

before anyone says. yes yes his bad childhood doesn’t disregard his past behavior. instead it adds nuance and the much needed backstory for him as it’s supposed to. etc etc

it makes so much sense why he had so much disdain for dan and lacks patience since he reminds him of what he tried so hard to forget. his former self. I saw a comment on twt that made the parallel of jaekyung feeling so awful about dan leaving at the end of season 1, because jae’s mom did that to him first

also was right. he came from nothing and became something. I hope the next chapter ends with the backstory from gramps and dan thinks about it on the way home from his shift prompting dan to give sick jae a visit. I wonder if jaekyung will react with anger towards dan once he’s back to normal if he asks questions about his past? they really are cut from the same cloth.

my brain is just full of thoughts and questions. we need to know how the jinx came to be and I think that’s something jaekyung explains himself to dan. is his mom still alive? is his dad still with the mafia ppl? does his dad know those loan sharks? or did he finally succumb to drugs? it’s been over 20 years since then surely his mom still alive right?

man, another 10 days of waiting we go.

more reading and re-reading. I love love the way she drew jae in chapter 70. that poor dumb idiot looked so…innocent. like here’s this otherwise dominant and self-assured man who turned into this scaredy cat because he thought his baby perished out at sea.

from the chapter thumbnail I thought jaekyung was blushing outside of sex for the first time because of his feelings, only for him to just be sick. not to make a comparison to bj alex again, but I hope it’s not like that. if dan helps sick jae in anyway, I hope jaekyung doesn’t remember it because of a high fever/flu meds. dan wouldn’t mention it either but it should add to the lore hehe

I want a juicy anguished and painful backstory. make me feel bad for babie jae mingwa lmao. also hope she touches base on more jae thoughts. more than just “…” when jaekyung has a reaction to something dan says. please tell us what he’s thinking too. is his head really that empty? is that why he got sick? used his brain too much? I crave and desire lore for the both of them, I hope we get it and it doesn’t drag any longer. trust I will be here either way as I am far too invested.
