Just got volume 1 in the mail and the art looks GORGEOUS in print
I think this is probably my favorite so far with all the freakin ADORABLE moments
I saw a couple of comments disliking how Youngchan kept going despite how much pain Hyunsoo was experiencing. Now, feelings are valid so I'm not disagreeing with those comments, just thinking about why this particular scene didn't bother me. It didn't bother me because of the last chapter where Hyunsoo basically said "at least I can give him my body." For Hyunsoo, since he likes Youngchan so much, being connected to him outweighs the pain. In the case of Youngchan, his desire to be connected to Hyunsoo outweighs his reason. The four emotions mentioned at the end (joy, fear, agony, bliss), perfectly describes this entire sex scene. The "joy" of surviving a dangerous situation and being each other's arms again, the "fear" of being honest about their feelings for each because of anxiety due to trauma, the "agony" of bearing the weight of their ever growing feelings for each other, and the "bliss" of just being connected despite all the other feelings they're experiencing.
Now I know this is just me overanalyzing all this cuz I'm obsessed with this story, but I figured I'd just share my thoughts
I % agree
And I would also just like to add that our uke here is not some weak ass little shit. If the pain was not something he could not tolerate, he would have stopped him regardless of how pitiful or cute he finds our seme.
Exactly!
I wonder what percentage of his body weight is pure dick
But I really liked this chapter. I liked the clumsiness of that bathtub scene and Hyunsoo's thoughts. We know that he really likes Youngchan, but he's scared and that feels so relatable. Love can be exciting but also scary. Youngchan mentioned that he could feel how vulnerable Hyunsoo was and we can see that in Hyunsoo's thoughts. While this situation feels a little hopeless atm, it still feels like it'll work out. This situation actually reminds me of when Youngchan went to see Hyunsoo at the hospital where Hyunsoo's mother was getting treated, and they had heart-to-heart conversation. I think something similar will happen with this situation where Youngchan might open up first, making Hyunsoo feel like it's safe to be vulnerable too.
Yeah there's no disputing what Hazuki said was egregious, but this fight was gonna happen sooner or later cuz his worries/insecurities were bubbling to the surface. Otoha was just serving as a catalyst for this fight. Also, Naoto was right. Hazuki's behavior was childish and I want this to be more of a growing moment for him rather than just creating a temporary crack in their relationship. I don't want Hazuki to just appease Naoto's anger, but to learn that he needs to trust Naoto around others more.
finally a sensible person
I try
As soon as Younghae mentioned ow she was looking forward to meeting Yeonji, I got super excited!! I really want a GL side story so bad ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Also I'm excited to see Hyunsoo and Youngchan go indoor surfing
