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
I seriously don't understand how this story has such a high rating. It's literally trying using a bunch of tropes and barely weaving them into a coherent story. Not the worst BL I've ever read, but definitely close to the bottom.
I can see your viewpoint in how, by trying to incorporate multiple tropes, each trope is left feeling incomplete. However, even though it's exploration isn't in depth, it depicts a beautiful sense of love in its truest form. A completely raw and selfish love (in the right way) that may people yearn for because it's so hard to find in reality which is why I think it's rated so highly
Well said. It's not about what happens, it's about how real the feelings are and how beautiful being vulnerable can be when it's with someone who treats you right.
I love this story and personally think it is beautifully executed.
In my opinion, is more pointing out how absolutely toxic most yaoi stories are and how a proper relationship should look. It's a commentary on how we as people often tend to mistake accuse as love just because it makes us feel needed. This story is more about how you feel in the end and the beauty of being vulnerable with the right person than about the actual plot.
At the very least, I think my response is how others also feel who like me, have this story 5 stars.
bold statement coming from someone who rated 'dear door' 5 stars...
LMAO you were pressed enough to look at my profile?? I'm flattered
Making us wait till the next update for the long awaited bath sex scene is absolutely criminal （/TДT)/
that thinks Park Wonho is meh for an antagonist? Like he's legit just a spoiled rich kid that became obsessed with Hyunsoo cuz he didn't suck up to him like the others. Like I get his role is to create some drama, but he should at least be interesting and not the stereotypical, obsessive, sadistic chaebol （￣へ￣）
im just glad they didn't make him likeable
That's true
Yeah. Then and again his face isn’t really worth a new story with his love interest.
Loll
For real tho I just want a side story with Chaewon and that cafe worker
i think he was there so the readers can have a better understanding…..of how strong baek youngchan is bahahaha (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Lmaoooooo
That's literally how rich people are though.
Cuz of his abusive ass dad. When he let's Hyunsoo touch his hair, that's him being vulnerable with Hyunsoo Uuuuuugh I fucking love them so much
Yeah that girl tried to touch it and he got all defensive, but he doesn’t even bat an eye when Hyunsoo does it. I’m shitting capital buildings ╥﹏╥
Right?! I keep going to that part in thr latest chapter where they're kissing and Hyunsoo opens his eyes first, then closes them. Then Youngchan opens his eyes for a bit, then closes them. Like they're so freaking close to confessing their love for each other!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
I might actually turn to rainbows and glitter when they do. If anything comes between them *stares at that ceo dude who’s strangely obsessed with Hyunie.* I’m committing war crimes ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Am I the only one that wants him to adopt that cat?
