this story is so pure, but the ending? painful.
yuo know, taehyun was quite annoying at times, but i can’t help identifying with him in that i, too, often feel unworthy of love, so i understand him to an extent. but taehyun is fortunate, he has dayeol. the tragedy lies in his overwhelming fear of losing dayeol’s affection, which causes him to suppress his emotions all the way to the end. where’s the emotional fulfillment? the closure? i’m gutted. how merciless of the author.
+ this is off topic, but i remember reading this when it first came out. i was much younger then, and i couldn’t fully grasp the depth of their connection (doubt i fully do even now). i remember feeling so pissed by the ending. funny how time reshapes your perspective.
bro, why is anyone even getting mad anymore? we’re reading the same story, right? this is ilay—the guy whose whole persona is built around being an unhinged psycho with zero basic decency. figures the author is just staying true to that.
My theory about people like is this is that they like the story but feel guilty about liking it so they gotta post and let everyone know they think it's super problematic and that they don't agree with it. Just cheap moral grandstanding basically. If it actually bothered them so much they would have been long gone.
sorry, ik why woojin is so casual abt them fking, but how come the MC is so blasé too?? thats his brother! sworn enemy no less. has the hypnosis really dulled his sense of decency to such an extent? how sick. i still wanna keep reading tho, lmfao. i need therapy.
I would recommend re-reading it as it will change your perspective, MC forgot hypnosis part but he remembers wild dreams, hard-ons, jerking off to his brother and all this culminated when he was horny and woojin was able to convince him he can help him. I also think that deep down mc feels attracted to woojin his issue is that he didn't want to be older brother living in a shadow of more capable person in comparison, his true self is a little baby, he wants to be pampered and held not losing attention of his mother and being isolated due to circumstances outside his understanding
but, it IS reasonable to interpret the seme’s reaction as jealousy, right? i mean, anyone might feel that way if their ‘almost something’ invited an ex over. still, resorting to violence was definitely excessive. eh, i’m slightly interested.
