This is really making me miss Vasily.

But both points were really valid, honestly. Vasya did do as much as he could to provide for Yoon and that's beyond the bare minimum for a someone who lives in a dangerous line of work. He doesn't ignore his work, but he adjusts his schedule by a bit to find time to have fun and look after Yoon.

At the same time, Yoon saying that the amount of times they see in a year could possible just be 10 to 12... Is concerning. This isn't like those long distance relationships where you can call each other freely. Yoon sits at home waiting in silence wondering if Vasya will ever even return.

Yoon has always lived the citizen life. He may be a money launderer which is by no means a regular job, but he was still a citizen. He wasn't exactly cut-out for the mafia lifestyle. The anxiety of being a sitting duck, the uncertainty of your future... back then he could just sleep around and enjoy, now he was tied in an exclusive relationship and each time it's quiet, he would have more time to think about how he'll grow old like this.

Vasya also makes a good point. The Vasya now is someone committed to the growth of the Mafia, he's done everything and stripped himself of his immaturity back then, which is why he can't just abandon the mafia for the sake of love.

Vasily was pivotal to move Vasya and Yoon's relationship. Vasily showed what a future with Yoon could look like (ironic that Vasily is from 'the past', yet gave Yoon a sense of permanency). Yoon probably saw what it would be like to live and grow old with a man who loves you so much and could spend every day with you. At the same time, Vasily showed Vasya that he probably had to make his choices between splitting the mafia work or moving his relationship with Yoon beyond the 'ambigous and slightly ghosty dating phase'.

Both Vasya and Yoon needed something stronger to hold onto in their relationship, Vasily showed them exactly what they should decide on.

Anyways, I miss Vasily... God...

I saw the teary-eyed top panel and my first thought was Ash then I knew.

Love this freaky one shot. Short and sweet.

This shit is so good, even the villains got you hooked. They rile me up so bad I keep reading because I'm looking forward to what he'll awaits them. I also can't wait for a happy ending for Gjorn and Sylhan and god forbid any miserable plot twists on Gjorn.

I wonder if this story will reach like... 100 chapters or more, looks like the plot has a political arc and then the sorcery arc to resolve considering Sylhan's illness.

Anyways good shit, I hope Lister dies a slow, slow, and miserable death. He probably has a childhood crush on Sylhan and leveraged on the slave status to monopolize him tsk tsk.

This is always a sign of an angst arc to follow.

I hope the happy in love arc lasts a bit longer.

I guess we should all kill ourselves

Good short story to binge fast. Pacing was also good and consistent. A few loose ends but all's well ends well.

I had a good time reading each of Yeonwoo's crash out.

They are so lovely...

While having the most vivid urge to choke and kill him is diabolical irony.

That aside, Jaehee is looking extra ukeful this chapter

Uke reminds me of Rebirth a bit where the uke there attempts to kill himself because he hated the Emperor to death. The uke here got thick spine, I'm reading it for him.

Also for a mid rate story, the side characters are actually pretty interesting. They all have memorable characters and distinct personalities.

I want MC to end up with Baekha so bad. I think he's a bit sly but not psychopathic enough considering the genre of this short story.

Sigh... When will we get good stories where MC ends up with the second lead?
