Every story I've read with a dad running from loan sharks doesn't give a shit about their kid... Was pleasantly surprised. Even if he's in the throws of a gambling addiction, at least he didn't try to sell his son off to fix it like every other BL debtor father does.

Yeah instead he abandoned him when he was a child, hid and hoped they wouldn't harm a child... which they did, Mc was beaten, taken to the police numerous times and couldn't eat much.
+ the loan sharks threatened him wanting to know the location of the dad and even kidnapped him.
Father of the year folks

I've been looking through these comments and some say they ended up together, some not?? I dropped it forever ago and just want to finish it now that it's been completed and I love the artist, but I want to read a romance, not just a peaceful end.

I don't remember much details about the story since I read it a while ago and I don't know where you left off but I can give you a run down of how it ended. Spoilers below

Hwan basically because more and more possessive over Chiwoo and Chiwoo kinda of starts pulling away and getting closer to Jin which makes things worse. More drama happens after he learns about the past and his parents dying, ended up wtih survivor's guilt. Things come to a head and their magical forms are revealed to each other. Hwan kills Jin and that sort of pushes Chiwoo over the edge and breaks up with Hwan and basically goes no contact with him.
Hwan gets even more upset at the distance and kinda goes rampant in his magical form, Chiwoo sacrifices himself to save Hwan from himself. In return, Hwan's wish is granted and Sunny is sealed away. Hwan basically resets time but to a time period where Chiwoo's parents didn't die. Meaning he never grew up with Chiwoo after he moved away as a kid. Hwan remembers everything that happened in the other timeline and suffers for many years seeing no meaning to life and thinking Chiwoo disappeared.
By chance they get reunited but Hwan is content he is alive and happy but has reserves about being in his life since he knows he's a bad person and doesnt want to ruin Chiwoo again. Chiwoo kind of falls for Hwan and tried to pursue a relationship but is turned down by Hwan until he feels he can become a better person for him.
Last chapter they still arent together but are both happy in their relationship even if Hwan still does want to be with him. Jin is then introduced and it's hinted that Chiwoo is attracted to him which does flare up some jealousy in Hwan but doesn't seem like it will be the same possessive jealously he had in the previous timeline.
This is what I can remember, the timeline for the earlier drama may not be 100% correct or in the right order but its the basics haha

You should read it! It's a nice story with an open happy ending (not too much open). I wouldn't say the plot is divine and the characters layered and complex, cause they are not, but it's definitely overall good. Pleasant art, good smut, happy vibes. ML shows crappy behaviour and red flags in the central part but has a great redemption arc.

It's a great story and I recommend it, but if you're looking for romance you'll be disappointed. It's a bromance. It says end of season 1 after chapter 100, but it's marked as complete everywhere I can find it. Maybe it was planned to be longer and become BL, but in its current complete state it's not.
The new cover art is the CUTEST. Never seen a manhwa do such a 180 on toxic to cute.
