There's so much to say but this comment section is toxic enough. And others have already articulated well enough what my thoughts are. So just let me say that Hyesung needs a big big hug since his life has been pretty tough. And I'm glad we're finally getting our happy ending.
Also, I know that Hyesung's actions were disappointing near the end but he will always be one of my favorite ukes because of his funny, playful, and dynamic personality. He's not boring and he's definitely no pushover. He's endured parental abandonment and abuse. And even worse, his father had more children afterward, as if to emphasize to Hyesung how worthless he was to his father.
I'm grateful to Fargo for this story and the time she spent illustrating it. And I'm especially grateful to her because she's one of the few authors who actually releases the English translation with the Korean version. Unlike other stories where we get the raws but then need to wait two to three weeks for the translation. Fargo really cares about her international fans. So before you be a dick to her on Twitter, take that into consideration. Send her some messages of support! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ (It's the least you could do if you're reading her work for free on an illegal site...)
I believe that DG's actions were definitely wrong in this chapter. But let's be clear, Alex deserved it. When you act like a jerk, there are consequences. He said he didn't want a relationship, but sent DG all sorts of mixed signals like being jealous and nearly raping him with the double penetration. He also acted super lovey dovey when he was drunk and made passionate rigorous love to DG. He said one thing but acted out another. DG was definitely wrong too. They both were so let's not turn this into a DG-only bashing comment section.
"All's fair in love and war."
Chapter 11 summary based on my limited knowledge of Chinese. Of and obviously, spoiler alert...

Taiga rescues Rin from the rapists. As Rin tries to take the omega suppressants, Taiga tells him he doesn't need to because Taiga took the one for alphas. They go back to the apartment
Rin asks why Taiga saved him. Taiga says, "Would you rather be raped? I need to get up early in the morning for work so don't give me more trouble."
Taiga lets Rin take the bed while he takes the couch. Rin is surprised and asks why Taiga isn't taking the bed. Taiga says it would be bothersome if Rin cries. Rin thanks him and promises to find his own place soon. Taiga tells him to stop saying that but Rin feels bad and also insists on becoming bonded with his fated pair, Kaoru.
Taiga tries to discourage him from leaving and bonding with Kaoru and Rin cries in desperation and says he knows that but his heart is in pain because Kaoru is like his other half.
Taiga says "whatever" and goes to sleep. Rin thanks him one last time.
The next day, Rin searches for a new place to stay because he doesn't want to cause anymore trouble for Taiga. He tells himself that he can't try to steal Kaoru from Yuka. But soon he finds himself drawn to Kaoru's scent and tracks him down. He throws himself at Kaoru and goes in for the kiss. The text in the boxes around here say:
"We can't. We can't. We can't. But when faced with our fated pair, all reasoning goes away."
But right before they kiss, Kaoru sees a beautiful image of a young Yuka. It's enough to give him the strength to pull away and run away (lol) from Rin.
Rin calls out to Kaoru and says, "Don't you feel the same? Our hearts and our bodies are both yearning-"
Kaoru: No! This is only due to the laws of nature. I don't even know you.
Rin: That's not true! I know you're a warm and kind person. Not only do you guard your alpha instinct but you are also considerate of omegas. I heard this directly from Yuka.
Kaoru: I actually... only know... about you from Yuka. Even if we are a fated pair, my heart belongs to Yuka. I'm sorry. (He walks away.)
Rin realizes he's holding Kaoru's handkerchief and cries into it.
Back at Taiga's apartment, Taiga says he's going away for a business trip so Rin won't need to take medicine. He notices the handkerchief and asks if Rin got hurt since it looks like he bandaged his hand. Rin doesn't reply so he tells Rin to not be in a hurry to leave and to stay until his heat is over.
Back to Kaoru and Yuka's place, Yuka greets Kaoru and welcomes him home.
Yuka: Welcome home!
Kaoru: Is something the matter?
Yuka: Hehe once in awhile I like to greet you when you come home.
Kaoru: Yuka... (leans over and hugs him)
Yuka: Why did you suddenly...?
Kaoru: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done this here... But after seeing you, I just had the urge to hug you... Sigh
Yuka suddenly hugs back: Of course you can. You can hug me more. I actually wanted up see you sooner which is why I waited for you. I practically was going into heat. I suddenly missed your smell. Kaoru, I want to be paired with you forever.
They kiss and as they make love, Rin says while staring at the handkerchief: Kaoru will pick me in the end. Until I become paired with him, I must not let anyone else get to me. I must take more medicine.
(And then it looks like he overdoses from taking too many pills.)
And that's the end of the chapter. I actually don't hate Rin. He's had such a rough and unloved life and is such a poor soul. I hope Taiga can help him heal even though it was Taiga's coldness in the beginning that pushed Rin away. Kaoru and Yuka are so sweet <3 Although it feels bittersweet...
I just want to take a moment to appreciate Fargo. She's given us a story that is unique. So often we see stories that are only about the chase and sex but rarely about the consequences of those actions. And it's really rare to see the actual progression of a pregnancy in the omegaverse. But here we have Hyesung and Dojin dealing with not only the pregnancy but also family baggage. Dojin is such a perfect daddy (in every sense of the word) and Hyesung is such a cute pudding of expressions. He always makes me laugh, whether it is acting spoiled, crying nonstop, or being adorably playful. I think it's easy to see why Dojin loves him.
The following comment is going to be a spoiler for the latest raw chapter. Something I really appreciate about Fargo is how she captured the animal instinct of the omegaverse but also incorporated it into Dojin and Hyesung's relationship development. For awhile, a lot of people hated Hyesung for acting on his omega instincts to seduce Dojin back in chapter 9 and 10. And then later Dojin used his animalistic alpha instincts and pheromones to somewhat force Hyesung into sex.
Then in this latest chapter, we see Dojin use his strong pheromones to protect Hyesung from his father. I loved seeing the irises of his eyes get small in the way an animal would when they're in fight mode. Hyesung's irises also got small when he was terrified of his father. But notice near the end of the chapter when he comes into Dojin's room and asks to stay in his room, Hyesung's irises are really large and warm. He feels safe and trusts Dojin. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I have loved every bit of this story and look forward to more. And I think Dojin and Hyesung are perfect just the way they are. I wouldn't have changed anything in the story. Fargo knows what she's doing!
Poor Hyesung gets no love :( Let me give an interpretation of his behavior in the latest raw chapter. Obviously, spoiler alert

Note when Hyesung finds out just how rich Dojin is, he's not thrilled. I think this is proof that Hyesung is not purely a gold digger. Otherwise, wouldn't he be thrilled at the thought of catching the alpha heir of one of the biggest chain stores? But I think Hyesung has a particular fear of families of big companies because of his father. He has memories of how his mother was verbally abused by his father regarding big companies.
So I think when the baby kicks and he freaks out, it's not as simple as reality kicking in that he's having a baby. It's the reality that he's giving birth to someone with bloodlines to a big company. Imagine finding yourself suddenly being affiliated with Samsung or Hilton hotels. And furthermore, he doesn't know that Dojin adjutant cares about him. He thinks Dojin only cares about the baby. So Hyesung probably subconsciously fears going through the same thing his mother went through. And he's obviously never sorted through his mommy issues having been abandoned by her at a young age.
I wish I could give Hyesung a big hug, poor thing. Anyway, I am glad that despite his difficult past, it hasn't broken his spirit and he still knows how to be feisty. He's such an entertaining, expressive, dynamic character.
Hwaiting, Hyesung and Dojin! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ #teamHyesung #teamDojin

I hope Hyesung gets a new familiy because of Dojin. He actually never had a real familily.
As far as I know Hyesungs father forced his mother to sell her body, because of business. So she left. I hate it that she left Hyesung behind.
But often women want to make a cut to the forceful husband and left the children too, because they don't want to do anything with the whole familie. ╥﹏╥
This was a beautifully told story. I loved the two main characters but I have a special spot in my heart for Heewon. He deserves extra love.
