"Call me by your name and I'll call you by mine."

How I want things to pan out, including the ending: A short novel. (It's literally a novel).
*** Minor spoilers for Chapter 26 ***

..............
Seungho will threaten to kill Inhun. Nakyum will beg and plead on his knees for him not to. Seungho warns him never to disrespect him again but ultimately lets it go. Perhaps he'll leave a scar or two on Nakyum with his sword as a reminder.
Inhun hears about Seungho's threats on his life and goes to Nakyum. He pretends to care about Nakyum's wounds and tries to advise him to follow Seungho's wishes. He manipulates Nakyum into thinking that he wants him to obey Seungho to avoid getting hurt but really he just wants the position and advantages that comes with pleasing the master.
Nakyum, still full of hurt and hatred, listens to Inhun and follows Seungho. They continue lovemaking but not as passionately as their first time.
Seungho figures Nakyum's submission was Inhun's doing. He goes over to talk the matter with him. The two communicates passive-agressively and all the while Nakyum overhears their conversation.
Nakyum goes to cry again, realizing his teacher had been using him. Kim, the servant, sees the poor boy and tries to console him. Nakyum tells him of both Seungho and Inhun. There was nothing he could do but the man was wise. He simply tells Nakyum, 'Maybe you could use your situation to your advantage' and leaves it at that.
That got Nakyum thinking. Maybe he could use this to his advantage. Both Seungho and Inhun needed him. And he was tired of all of this abuse. He didn't deserve any of it.
And so character development ensues.
Nakyum will no go willingly to Seungho's chambers without needing to be summoned. They make love yet again but this time, passion is through the roof. Seungho is puzzled but his ego thinks nothing much of it.
When Nakyum sees Inhun, he confirms that he's been following Seungho and so far hasn't triggered his anger yet. Inhun appreciates this and shows a gesture of affection to Nakyum. Nakyum falters but he's been hurt enough so as not to believe his teacher's lies.
As days go by, and the two leads proceed with their lovemaking, Nakyum notices the little nuances in Seungho's actions. He strokes his hair, kisses his eyelids, puts a blanket over him after sex.
Little by little Nakyum develops some feelings for the master. But he shakes it off and is convinced he is being naive yet again. The master is not capable of love. He's a monster who knows nothing but sodomy.
Kim sees that Nakyum is bothered. He asks him what's wrong. Nakyum then asks about Seungho and if he had always been a monster. Kim sighs and tells him Seungho's backstory.
The next time they make love, Nakyum can't help but sympathize for Seungho. It was the most loving sex that they have.
Inhun realizes that nothing was happening to his supposed government post. He asks Nakyum about it and the latter says that he's doing as he's asked. Inhun insinuates that perhaps he is enjoying himself a little bit too much, perhaps he is a pervert too that he is secretly doing this for himself, not to get him the position after all.
Seungho enters having heard all of this, saying that he didn't really have a need for Inhun anymore since he only used him as a leverage for Nakyum. He didn't really want to give him the position and thought he was undeserving of it anyway.
Inhun, humiliated, leaves the manor seething with rage. He bumps into Jihwa who share the same sentiments as he did. They both hated Seungho and how they were humiliated by him. Jihwa has the means and Inhun had a plan-- they could kill Yoon Seungho.
At manor, Nakyum and Seungho continue their lovemaking. Each and everyday, Nakyum realizes that if Seungho got what he wanted, he didn't lash out. He was in fact decent. He'd give him nice things, buy him beautiful paint and even give him compliments.
All of these confused him. He knew he hated Seungho but his actions were easy to be misinterpreted.
One day, one of the servants made a mistake and this angered Seungho. He lashed out yet again and killed the servant without second thought. Nakyum's blood ran cold and he was reminded that Seungho was no human. He musn't fall for his tricks. He needed to get out the manor to be free.
He told his plan to Kim, that he wanted to get out and that he should come along. Kim refused. It was too risky. He advised against Nakyum escaping since he thought it was impossible without resulting to death. Nakyum insisted that he needs to be free and all Kim could do was wish him luck.
That night, as Nakyum tries to sneak out, the manor was attacked. However, as he tries to take advantage of the chaotic situation, Nakyum runs into Seungho. He was bleeding badly. He'd been attacked by henchmen, which he knew were of Jihwa and Inhun's doing. Despite being injured, he couldn't help but laugh at the audacity of the two to attack him like this.
Seungho mentions he had managed to kill the henchmen but he needed help. He asks Nakyum to bring him to Kim or any of the servants to treat his wounds.
Nakyum sees this to his advantage. He could do it, he could escape. He could be free.
So instead of helping Seungho, he backs away to run. But he didn't run fast enough.
Seungho catches up to him and chokes him in anger. How dare he turn a blind eye to his master, he bellowed. He banged his head yet again to the wooden posts of the house. Seungho was injured but he could very much kill Nakyum easily.
Nakyum couldn't breath but he remembered he had stashed a knife in his trousers when he was trying to escape earlier. He bit on Seungho's hand, and this loosened his grip. Nakyum, with all his strength, drove the knife straight into Seungho's heart.
There was shock in Seungho's face. This little boy ended up killing him. This boy, just a little shy away from the age of manhood, had managed to kill him. This boy who was so talented with his hands, who was so nimble and innocent. This boy who cried tears as beautiful as his smiles. This boy who had managed to captivate him, inexplicably so.
This young man, whom his heart secretly yearned for, ended him.
They both fell due to their weight. Seungho bled through his mouth as his insides were severely damaged. He could no longer speak, his vision blotted with black spots. And yet he reached out to Nakyum's face and decorated his porcelain skin with streaks of red.
And without another word, his hands went limp as his heart stopped beating.
Nakyum ought to rejoice for the man who caused him agony was dead. He was finally free. He no longer needed to give his body to him. He can go back to his former life.
He was free.
So why did his heart feel so heavy? Why were there tears joining the streaks of blood on his cheeks? Why did he cry out his master's name over and over again?
There was no love between them, there couldn't have been. For he was only a monster, pretending to be human.
But he still mourned. He didn't know why but he continued to cry as rain started to pour through the night.
*** THE END ***
Phew, it was like a ghost possessed me and I had to write this novel-esque theory. It started casually but it turned out like this! Well I don't know, I just think it'd be really cool if things went down like this. Please add to the story if you can, I'd love to hear mini-theory/stories from you guys! LOL love ya!
Holy shit. I thought this actually happened and I’m like, I don’t remember seeing all this in the raws... but then again, I’m blind.
Wow you write this so well i honestly thought this was how its going to play in the story. And i think your theory really fits the mood of the story too! But i really want a happy ending for my baby Namkyun..
Hahaha its only a theory! I was reading it too seriously that I thought I should go see raws to check if that actually happened!
Wait don't be so hasty there may be a new characters who know....
Wow I thought this was true told I saw it was a theory. I like the way you think.
Wow honstly this js such an amzing job
I totally forgot your caption that this is how you want things to turn out. I was holding my breath while reading this and was about to cry when Nakyun stabbed Seungho. Although, Seungho is a fckng bastard I still want him to be loved and find love like what I was hoping for Sangwoo. Anyway, great theory. Cheers to that!
This was my gateway to yaoi hell lol I wish it would get a proper ending （/TДT)/
(not saying it's ending, i just wish it did)
I love how everyone's like "hE's in rUt you guiSE, duH" like it's the most basic common knowledge I'm a bit new to the omegaverse so it's a bit funny to me lol
sighh.... i'm never gonna stop loving you horny fujoshi peeps

Okay.... ch26 was a wild one. And it also made me real sad for multiple reasons. First, was because I now know that chapter 20-21 was the first and last chapters we'll ever have of this manhwa where there was a, "technically", mutual yearning between these two. Anything beyond this will just be a very violent and forced relationship. So it's kind of bittersweet that 20-21 were the "best" scenes for this pairing, because it was still rape man :( It was fucking rape. But at that time they looked so in love, damn, that it made me hope for something that this manhwa never claimed to be-- a love story.
Second, Nakyum will NEVER love Seungho, I mean never. You can feel his loathing through the screen. He can still be subjected to blackmailing but love is out of the equation, which is again sad because, in another life, where it could've been more peaceful, they would've looked good together.
Third, the aura and tension of this manhwa does remind me of Killing Stalking. Not the story, they're completely different but my reactions were similar. I remember reading KS and just being heartbroken chapter upon chapter and now, I'm having a similar emotion wash over me that I've resorted to writing this lengthy ass comment just to relieve my chest off of some pain.
Fourth, I'm disgusted by how horrible Seungho is. But at the same time, I love his character. The author made me fall in love with him, only for him to do terrible things so now I'm very torn. Like a child who has gone astray and you can only wish for him to get back on track.
Fifth, is the emotional attachment I have for this. Like... it's a manhwa but it's taking over my thoughts again (just like KS did). Again, not meaning to compare but dang.... I have a feeling this could be another masterpiece.
So yeah, let's go down this rabbit hole together because it's amazing how we're all reading raws at the same time, without notification. Like we're all trash for this and I love it. See you at the finish line comrades. （/TДT)/
Excuse me, sir, but why do you write down my thoughts without my permission?
JK, you have all the permission you need!
LOL, each of your paragraphs is what I feel. Literally. So nice to bond with someone over such interesting story!
Though I must admit one more thing, get it off of my chest. Here seems to be a good place for that. I'm also torn between feeling hopeful, emotional, angry, disappointed, excited, impressed, disgusted and turned on. This is messing with my head. Of course I am aware it's a story and fiction, and the art probably makes me so confused. But man, this is far from being an easy read.
HAHAH HAHAHAA OH, THEY WON'T GET TOGETHER YOU SAY?? nO, If the author later wants them to. They will, and this is the kinda story that's gonna end on some note like that i CAN FEEL IT.
I wish, i wish, it could be happy. Yet those chances, they are like the breeze swaying only a single leaf in an old tree, it is not enough to barely be even noticable
I know... Also dude, we're all over the freaking place. I've been commenting on other people's comments here to cope, and I see you've chosen the same coping mechanism as well! LOL... I'm in a slurry of emotions too, though being confusedly turned on is mostly Seungho's fault, that motherfucker. Welp, see you next week?
HAHA that leaf analogy is soo on point!!
yeah, at the end of the day, it will end the way author decides, and everything is possible. Them ending together being a likely option nonetheless. But the way she writes it so far, it really feels like there's a chance for a different story here, no cliche. We'll see.
I personally like to go with the flow :) I'm one of those who enjoyed GOT for what it was, so I will probably enjoy whichever direction she'll take with the story.
ah, crap, so it's time to stop, isn't it. Close the browser, get on with my life... Maybe drop this for a while and get some balance back?
.
.
.
Yeah. Of course I'll be here next week, like I'd be able to drop it and have a healthy break anyway lol
See you! :)
Lol I literally tried to leave this manhwa life but I failed straight away haha see ya!
about to read this so lemme get one thing straight? the problem is that he's too hot???
can't relate but k. got it. lezzgo.
uwu I'm so glad that little swan still has his 'boyish charm' it's so cute, it's like he's your precious cinnamon roll but at the same time, you're crushing on him. (▰˘◡˘▰) this manhwa's perfect *chef's kiss*
