I was about to drop it bec I kinda get lost to what this 2 really want? Okay so I kinda get it.These 2 destined to get together. Taeho being prepped as the mermaid's "destined" kinda like rebelled and and prepped himself to play around to make sure he would be hated and always be dumped. Remember when he said that he likes it when the girls get angry at him he likes it? Probs bec he gets more confident that the mermaid wont fall inlove with him too or he himself wont fall inlove or just treat the mermaid like anyone else. He has to do that bec he is ofcourse afraid to die bec of the curse right? That cycle ate him up I mean he is human also afraid to die. If I was in his position and I would die bec of some stupid curse and I cant run away bec of clan "duties" (have to stay with Eunwoo because of the fated partner thingy) I would also make sure to be hated by Eunwoo and would do stupid things to "harden my resolve". It doesnt look evident but for 3 years he devoted himself to find Eunwoo even if it takes him probably forever. Even if there's slim to no chance that he will see him again. Also he decided killing himself. He said that he will give his life to make up all the hurt he caused to Eunwoo. That is a big decision to make.Tho Eunwoo sacrificed himself too. I think that made it lift the curse completely right?
This story hurts so much bec obviously no ine wants to die right, and whoever sacrifices will mean suffering to the one who will be left behind. And if the mermaid choose to kill the human would that mean he doesnt love them enough? So whatever you choose it's always the losing end.
The epilogue actually makes me anxious the entire time what if they say I love you and Eunwoo would disappear and he just wanted to spend his last days with Taeho. Eunwoo was acting very much chill and looks kinda "strangely looking happy" that's why I was anxious the entire time. Good thing he was like that so that Taeho would stop blaming himself and will start happy memories from now on. That made me happy for the ending. Sometimes you just gotta bury everything, move on and start fresh if youre decided to forgive and stay with the one you love to be happy moving forward.

Still Team Sunbae here. Stepbro literally GROOMED young uke so that he will be the only person in his life when he gets back to him. Uke is already unloved, ignored and unwanted. He couldve had grown up differently given some now notice how cute he is but what he did is manipulate his life to continue him being secluded and ignored causing him to lack self confidence. Subbae I dont see any reason why he is being blamed here. Uke was the one who wanted to be f*ckbuddies and not want relationship. Why would you expect them to be lovey dovey when he is the one who asked for it? Im not sure if you all understands seme's pov chapter, he looked irritated when he asked him to be f*ckbuddies. He always thought the uke is cute and he since he is the only one not affected with stepbro's spell he is normal to uke and genuinely concerned at him and btw he got into accident but was more concerned of the uke than himself.

Bro, a tree did not groom a young uke…. He’s literally a supernatural being with very little concept of human relationships- young uke went to die because he had no family and didn’t want to go to an orphanage and our friendly neighborhood boogie man here, granted his wish of wanting a family. Now, his violation of the prime directive did result in regular people viewing the MC a certain way because of his connection to the other side, but to call it grooming, or even malicious manipulation, is a stretch. It seems more naive to me- giving the child an instant illusionary family at the expense of his relationships with others in the future vs. having him got through adversity now but to grow and have a regular life.

Ugh Google is free try searching for it, it's not that hard. Slowly isolating a kid from family members and friends – physically and emotionally, undermining relationships with parents and friends to show that “no one understands you like I do" are signs of grooming behaviour. Sounds familiar? Oh yeah! That's the juju the deity/demon/tree/ stepbro or whatever he is did to the uke eversince he was young right? He manipulated his childhoold up until he grew up so that he will be the only one he has when he returns to him. This is effin no brainer ok? So yes the uke wished him something, but obviously that entity messed him up and the deity is what who knows how many years it is but uke? he was just a kid that time yk?

To those who said the 2 died underwater, really? We are talking about 2 guys who survived gangr ape, assault, beating up 20+ goons(not just once), crazy psycho influential ex lover, jumping off a cliff and many more I am close to think Dooshik is effin immortal and simply falling in an iced lake will kill them? I would even think then can survive more than 1minute in water.. They just made it dramatic ok? Of course they survived that

Pity party for the uke's trauma? lol It was his desperation that got him his trauma in the first place. He was in college?highschool? when he was with that Alpha, they are in school and he is not naive to know how Omegas are taken advantaged of bec of their bodies. That's the reason why some kinda get annoyed with the uke ok? This typical pity party cliche. Perprerators are out there, he made himself vulnerable and given his trauma, he repeated the same thing but only blamed the seme for the drunk se. x. When is he gonna man up and blame himself. Just spitting facts here, good thing the story is progressing

EW ITS A VITIM BLAMER!! Lemme tell you something just because the uke “wanted it” doesn’t mean that he deserves it. Like what is wrong with you? In what world would that make sense? You are essentially blaming the person that was being stabbed because they wanted to be stabbed. So what if he was desperate so what? Does he deserve to be assaulted and abused for that? Like what are you even saying right now

Get your arguement straight. Did I ever say it is ok to assault and abuse people? No. I did say that If you go do irresponsible things like being desperate and drunk you would likely get taken advantaged, hurt, assaulted or whatever because perpetrators are out there. If you expect people to always adjust to you doing irresponsible things isnt that kinda stupid? Fine with the trauma, but what I was saying is he is only blaming the other party and makes the seme look bad and doesnt even take responsibility on his actions.

I understand where you are coming from (somewhat) but all I am saying is why do you have to point the blame to him like that? Like we know it’s irresponsible but like what’s done is done, where is your sympathy where is your empathy can’t you see that it is a trauma response? We need to understand him, he didn’t want any of this. No one can think straight after all they’ve been through. All I wanna say is don’t drag his name through the mud and just empathize with him damn

huh?! why would I symphatise or emphatise? I would be spitting facts bec they are what? FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. How I react to this story doesnt define what kind of person I am bec fiction is different from reality. This is what's toxic abt bl readers when someone has different opinion with moralists. They shame their personality and values as if you know them irl. I would only symphatise/emphatise with real people. For fictional characters SINCE THEY ARE NOT REAL I can only either relate or not relate. No need to invest that much. Drag his name through the mud? pretty heavy huh. Gosh are you all okay? lol

Gurl WHAT? Bro I don’t get why you can’t get me what concerns me is that you said that his desperation caused him his trauma are you not reading what you saying? Like I gets annoyed at him too but I don’t and will never say he was desperate and that he knew better it’s just not right bro Like yeah sure they are fictional characters but it makes me question your morals and how you’d react to something like this irl because damn does that sound ignorant I’m sorry bro but I’m just fine

I reco you guys to read the novel too. I read it when it was just like 23 chaps here and glad I did. They missed a lot of things specially inner monologues of the seme. They also cut tons of things here specially the Hwan's grandma part. They didnt even show that Grandma and Haejin already met prior to this. Anyway, read it. It's just almost 80 chap and I cried on a lot of scenes specially the reunion scene
I miss Chu yan's Long hair and buff body look. He was way hotter and such a tease back then
