I just read this part of the novel… this man (top) is gonna go through it the struggle. The multiple chapters of STRUGGLE. I’m ready.

Sure darling. Eungyo suffers from sexual frustration for so long that he fears he will commit a crime, so he starts staying at a hotel, losing sleep, losing his mind, losing control and touching Sunwoo while he’s sleeping, rather than just outright telling Sunwoo that he wants to live together. His brother was right all along. Before he confesses, he forces Sunwoo’s lawyer friend to write a contract that basically makes Sunwoo forfeit all human rights to him lol. When asked, Sunwoo finds nothing wrong with it. Then they finally FINALLY have $3x again… and again. Eungyo is finally happy and is able to sleep and smile but he’s still an ass most of the time. I haven’t finished the novel but I had to get through the slow burn and feel relieved because, while funny, I also suffered for far too long.

I dunno guys, Jaekyung acts on misguided instincts, so I think he’s just gonna scoop him up, kidnap him, and lock him up in his penthouse. I would be so annoyed if they just have sex next chapter, because that would be typical but would also just be a waste. I don’t wanna see them do it again. I want Jaekyung to take care of Dan. I want him to call a cleaning service to remove all alcohol from his penthouse before he gets there, so that it’s clean when they arrive, and then I want him to hire a therapist or someone to watch Dan while he’s at the gym, and I want him to hire a chef to feed Dan…
Mind you, Dan will hate anything Jaekyung does, so he’s going to fight everything. It doesn’t matter if Jaekyung is nice or mean, because he doesn’t want any of it, but he needs help and he’s not willing to help himself. I bet those are two full bags of booze…

How does someone who’s emotionally and physically unstable help themselves? Fixing isn’t really the right word (that’s the word Jaekyung used cuz he’s dumb), because there’s no “fixed” baseline, but Dan needs help to stabilize his mental wellbeing. That’s quite literally the reason for therapy and doctors.
Anyway, I don’t expect anything, I’m just wishing for it.

Oh yes, if this wasn’t fiction, I would certainly be an anti-fan, but because I know it is, I need to see this nonsense twisted into something with possibility. But you’re right, maybe jaekyung will have foresight (ha!) and just rent another apartment for the both of them to avoid retraumatizing Dan. And then I want to see his gosh darn backstory. It better be AMAZING. lol. I live on hope in fiction because the country I live in is a little hopeless right now. JAEKYUNG, YOU’D BETTER SHAPE UP!

Looking back at the first chapters, I think Mugyeong might survive. He says, “I still remember…” and “… at my youth’s edge…” Since he’s currently still at his youth’s edge, the beginning seems like a reflection of an older person.
Will it be Mugyeong dying an old man and reflecting? Or maybe just a few years ahead, living the life of a refugee with a new start? Or will he be touching or picking up a cherry blossom; elderly, sitting on a bench, wrapped in a blanket, and looking up into a Sakura tree like how he started out?
If so, it might read backwards, ending with something like: “Perhaps I’ll meet him again, in another life…” “… the boy with a picturesque face…” “… The boy I learned to love.”

What was that expression when he came Dan’s face? Well, he’s blushing every time now. I think his braincells may have achieved friction! He’s admitting that he doesn’t want Dan out of his sight. Not a hug, but getting closer.
But there’s something missing. Currently, there’s no reason for Jaekyung’s progression to caring for Dan. So, I predict that, within the next 3 chapters, we will be introduced to the man who ruined Jaekyung. I don’t think there’s any other inciting incident that would bring them together since Dan’s tears never moved Jaekyung before (I think grandma’s got more time).
Honestly one of my top ten favorite webtoons. I love them
