any thought of his, any word he says shook me to the core. i don't know what's going on but i need someone to recommend me stories with characters like kyungju. novel, anime, manga, manhua, whatever. i'm obsessed. please send help.
this chapter Heechan on the outside: LIFE OF SELF-DELUSIONAL
CONTENTMENT COMBINED WITH A PARALYZING FEAR OF FAILURE
while his internal monologue: HA! HEHEHE... HOOHOO
oddly relatable.
wowwowwow not making drama out of wanting to have gay romantic rural life (for the first time) or being a single dad! i love these guys for their 'so what?' peaceful attitude and just minding their own wholesome business.
this reversed dynamic is amazing!
the top, the boss, the handsome, the chaebol = the insecure one, playing it 'small'. growing to become enough for his place in the world.
the bottom, the normie, the 'ugly' one, the even more average than the average = the confident one, standing tall, doing his shit without compromising, lifting the other one up
Favourite new dynamics. Absolutely love our fathers here. Long live our boysss
they're both so pretty and the story just after 3 chapters looks VERY promising.
this manga began because of asahi's sex-related backstory. to be honest those scenes with kouya were simply amazing, one of the best straight ones i've seen at that point while her intercourse with tatsuo panels seem so bland, tbh i can't even focus while reading them and afterwards i feel as if i skipped them (maybe i did (￣∇￣") ) i wonder if it's some kind of my own preference, author's deliberate doing or their lack of mojo at this point.
from asahi's perspective:
a + kouya = authenticity, freedom, letting go, growth, feeling allright with herself, being enough, able to be !honest about her needs!, equal partners + sexy intimacy
a + tatsuo = stifling emotions, tiptoeing around each other, always alert not to say or do or be too much, putting him on the pedestal, anxiety, lack of communication, she needs a fulfilling emotional connection, but with him even crumbs seem to be a luxurious meal + assumed sexual compatibility, but these scenes just seem meh
maybe she will understand how kouya felt and that he put her on the pedestal, which made him anxious and feeling non deserving of her.
i guess once asahi and tatsuo live together that will be too much for both and they will be really disappointed even though they want it right now.
i'm also really curious about the new short hair girl, i think there'll be some romance plotline including her + kouya/tatsuo, however, i'll feel so sad for the guy from her office who has this huge crush on her. i lowkey think she noticed. i ship them more than the main ships right now.
I didn’t see it like this! I agree 100% def her pov, I still think that Tatsuo can work just like Kouya can work! It’s just gonna take her to be open and honest and for him as well! They are two hurt people that haven’t been fully vulnerable with each other! I don’t think it’s him giving crumbs, not all people love the same he’s gotta learn her love language but it’s true some people just aren’t compatible so we’ll see! I also think there sex scenes are hot he’s giving dilf vibes, pretty lustful but there could be more intimacy eye contact definitely but he do be putting her to sleep! Now for Kouya it would depend on how if she doesn’t work out with Tatsuo! Then he can come back in and fix it up! Either one works I just need them all to be happy at the end of it!
he might not be deliberate or even aware of the crumbs, but that doesn't make them disappear. i would jump ships, no problem with that, but this one seems no less prone to sinking. annnnndddd asahi + kouya's relationship seemed like they could both easily and naturally grow, a win-win in many situations, but with tatsuo it would seem kinda forced and like compromising something important.
when two sapiosexuals collide... whoa!!! This incomparable excitement of meeting an intellectually compatible partner. this story is amazing, i cant stop reading, so glad there's novel.
i don't know whether the oscar should go to the author or the translation team. i guess both. these dialogues are just on another level.
Another level of insanity XD
