@nervous_joy Yo, the uploader already apologized and is trying to rectify their mistake. Stop being an asshole and annoying them and everyone on this comment page. You do know you’re reading on an illegal site right? Get off your high horse. You’re no better than everyone on here. You’re being so whiny. Grow up.
The uploader apologized and is trying to remove their chapter. They also explained to the translator and the translator forgave them, and the uploader promises not to do it again. Uploader, just ignore this whiny bitch.

Just ignore them. Life is full of assholes, if you give them undue attention they’ll just be worse. Just ignore them, learn from your mistakes, and move on. You did the best you could and tried to fix your mistake and that’s admirable. This particular asshole just thrives off attention and being a ‘holier than thou’. Don’t respond any more to their messages.

Like, Jaehwan, if you have lingering feelings for your old flame (to the point where to hide your past and lie that you're just meeting a 'friend', and ignore a meeting with your actual bf to take care of this 'friend' and then lie to your bf AGAIN about who you were with) just BREAK UP with Dongho. It's unfair to him that he's thrown himself whole-heartedly into this relationship, and you're still chasing after someone else.

Why the fuck is Jaehwan hiding his past with this sunbae from his new bf tho??? That’s super sus, especially when they’re reconnecting and ‘going back to how we were in the past’ (like when you guys were ambiguously flirting???). Like dude, this is gonna blow up in your face Jaehwan, and you’re going to DESERVE it for being deliberately obtuse.
There have been countless stories where people who were taken met up with their ex ‘just to talk’ and they were ‘just friends’ only to end up cheating with their ex. Like bro, this ain’t a rare occurance .
I feel like we either need Jaehwan to come clean about his past to his new bf, and cut ties with his old flame, or he should just break up with Dongho if he still has lingering feelings to his old love. It’s unfair to drag innocent Dongho through this. That, and his older brother is in a relationship with your boss Jaehwan, so you better watch yourself.

What Jaehwan SHOULD’VE done when his ex?-unrequited love got purposely drunk for attention:
Boy bye imma hang with my cute new bf who’s feeling insecure about being the younger lover in this relationship, and who, coincidentally, I never told about this meeting and my past but it’s cool because I don’t have any feelings for my old flame anymore
What he did: the exact opposite of the above.
Did Nakyum's mouth get sewn shut? Did his brain turn to mush from the hate sex? Why the fuck won't he say the TRUTH damnit, this is the stupidest misunderstanding I swear to god.
Author better have a good explanation as to why Nakyum's speaking, because if I was that boy, I'd be screaming my head off
jinhwan (the dude who had hired someone to murder namkyun) had told him that if he told anyone what happened, he would make sure to kill namkyun. obviously namkyun just suffered through a v traumatic experience, he’s not going to think straight, especially after a death threat from his kidnapper :/
From a plot perspective:
This is getting repetitive. Nakyum suffers, sex happens, some relationship progress happens, only for it all to be reversed and you repeat the cycle again. There’s no satisfying end, no break to the rollercoaster, and if you couldn’t tell from the amount of readers complaining, they’re getting sick and tired of the same thing happening over and over again.
From inside the story perspective: Seungho can’t protect Nakyum? He’s one of the powerfulest people in the place, and he literally owns Nakyum. I’m frustrated because instead of responding or thinking over his actions, Nakyum is just always goddamn reacting. He’s not growing as a character from all this abuse, he’s just a shriveled up flower that just takes everything. It’s frustrating when you expect a character to grow from their trauma (Nakyum being sold as basically a sex slave as a favor for his old lover, Nakyum being raped multiple times, Nakyum being degraded and humiliated for basically the entire story) but instead he’s still the same old static character that’s ‘beautiful but weak and naive’.
Maybe I’m expecting too much from this story.
Lol I felt that last part to my core I wonder how the author will turn this story around or is she just going to let him stay "beautiful but weak and naive"?
i completely understand your frustration, but i’m also wondering what you expected from a story like this?
as you said, seungho owns namkyun. as you also mentioned, he is very powerful. there is a very skewed power balance between the two of them. seungho does not see namkyun as a person, he sees him as property, and because of his status, because of his physical strength, because of his wealth, he is pretty much able to do whatever he wants with namkyun, leaving namkyun unable to resist. that’s just how things are. it’s unrealistic to expect namkyun to know what to do in his situation. there are abuse victims in this day and age who never get out of their abusive relationship because they just don’t know how, and some are brainwashed to feel like escape is something entirely impossible. namkyun doesn’t feel like he can escape. he walks on eggshells. his continuous traumatic experience are teaching him to do nothing, because in the past when he has actually done something, he’s suffered greatly. it’s just not worth it to him.
also, in regards to seungho being able to protect him; the fact that namkyun was so easily kidnapped in the first place shows that he cannot. try putting yourself in namkyun’s position. he was kidnapped. two people attempted to murder him. the only reason he wasn’t murdered was not because they couldn’t kill him, but because they didn’t WANT to. he was let go, but under the threat that if he told anyone he would be killed. he was already kidnapped, and the only reason he wasn’t murdered was purely because jinhwan changed his mind in that moment, i imagine he’s thinking that there is absolutely nothing stopping him from actually following it out in the future. jinhwan already risked a lot by carrying out his plan to begin with, he really doesn’t have anything to lose by trying once again. he also has means to make sure that namkyun’s murder would never be traced back to him. it’s really not as simple as namkyun just refuses to speak, and that seungho could easily protect him.
this is a fucked up story. the characters are fucked, the plot is fucked.. everything is fucked. if you’re looking for a story where the underdog who was abused prevails and somehow comes out on top, you’re not gonna get that here. it’s just not realistic, especially for the time period.
I don’t think people understand this but. This is a fucking story, which means that we expect character growth and plot progression, and expect it in a timely manner. Otherwise people will rightfully be bored and frustrated and angry.
Do people in real life stay stuck in horrible situations and not learn from their experiences for years or if ever? Obviously yes. But that’s not the point. The point is that this is a STORY and we expect some progression in the story after goddamn 63 long chapters. We’re reading the same sex scene with slight variations in trauma over and over again, with minimal plot but maximal sex.
Nakyum is static as a character, forever the weak and naive beauty, never learning from his traumas or experiences or mistakes and forever being silenced or taken advantaged of. Does this happen in real life? Yes. Is Nakyum not a real life character but something we are consuming for entertainment? YES. So we expect growth and we expect plot and we expect it not to take forever and a year for both these things to happen.
People have the right it be pissed at this story.
(I appreciate your answer and the fact that you defended yourself. But it still doesn’t get to the core of why this chapter was so deeply unsatisfying)
Again, I completely understand your frustration. I was pissed reading this chapter as well. Things are not going at all how I had wanted, but I’ve come to accept that this is probably how things are going to be for awhile.
I understand that Namkyun is a character, and that readers are going to want him to grow throughout the story. I think that how Namkyun has acted is perfectly understandable, I think it’s realistic. That doesn’t mean it’s not irritating. I think the author is really going for a slow burn type story. I think I read somewhere that she likes seeing him suffer. I genuinely don’t see you getting the change you want anytime soon. At the moment, there really isn’t much Namkyun can do. Imo, how the story goes from here on out & how Namkyun grows as a character is going to rely heavily on Seungho & the side characters actions/thoughts. Hopefully in the next chapter Mr.Kim does something, because as things are now, Seungho is just going to stay the rage filled, emotionally constipated man that he is, and Namkyun is going to stay in this endless loop of abuse ://
I really do understand your frustration, reading the last few chapters has left me very upset & angry, but I’ve accepted the fact that this is just how the author intends for things to be. Accepted, but definitely not happy.
