Since people are very confused about the story, the characters and the timeline, i want to give a brief summary, including some aspects from the raws. I hope i'm able to clear certain things about the currently translated chapters.

PAST:
Seo Yeonjin (main uke) bought Choi Moonhyuk (main seme) after seme lost an underground fight. It was love at first sight for the uke, and he buys the seme and wants to know more about him, so he looks for information. His best friend (tanned guy with small mole on his face) comes along and says he can give him that info and long story short, uke agrees to sleep with him in exchange of that information. Combining the info that the uke got plus seme's flashbacks, we have the following information: Seme was raised in an orphanage and now takes care of his brothers and sisters who were in the same orphanage, after the orphanage is demolished or something. Seme's former boss (chagang) was into bondage, and seme saw him sleeping with a man with a scar across his lips (let's call him scarface, he is important later on). Apparently, scarface is a well-connected man politically (according to latest translated chapter) and it is he who gets the seme's former boss murdered after coming across a video of seme and boss having sex, because Boss was scarface's b!tch.

Coming to uke's story: Uke's father is a rich businessman, married to a beautiful opera singer. One day uke, while chasing a ball, accidently sees his father having sex with another man, who is ---SUPRISE!!!!--- Scarface! His mother then comes and takes him away. He starts acting rebellious and shizz and later on, his mother commits su!cide, for which he blames his father, etc etc. Uke gets married to a friend of his, who doesnt mind him sleeping with the seme, and tells the seme that she is aware of everything and chose uke because uke was the perfect candidate for giving her a beautiful son, who is the only one she truly cares about. She also has a grudge against uke's dad, though i dont know the reason. Uke's aim is to humiliate his father, and in the process he ended up falling in love at first sight with seme, and the story continues from there.

Uke continues sleeping with the seme, and even tries the bondage that seme's former boss used to do, because he is in love with the seme and wants the seme to notice him, but one day when the seme is drunk, they have sex and the seme confuses him for his former boss, and the uke realises that he is competing with the boss' ghost so he will never be able to win seme's love. This is where chapter 12 ends.

PRESENT:

Whatever is written above, is actually the PAST. Chapter 1 begins from the PRESENT. In the present, uke is already dead (apparently), but his body HAS NOT been found, and the seme is accused of having killed him. The former boss is DEFINITELY dead, his body had been found long back, even before the uke and seme had met.

EDIT: Since some people are asking about this: I think the uke is still alive. Compare the former boss' death with the uke's death. Former boss (chagang) died, his body was found, so there was no ambiguity about his death. But uke is supposedly dead, yet his body hasnt been found even after many days of searching iirc.
(This is my speculation, I desperately want them to have a happy ending T_T I really really hope the uke is alive.)

EDIT: Best friend is Scarface's nephew.

Chapter 18-19 onwards I think mutual feelings begin to develop between the seme and the uke because the sex looks much more intimate, though i'm not sure because i cannot read korean. The scarface makes a comeback, recognises seme, while uke's dad also makes an appearance, and i tell you he is such a B!TCH i literally want to crack his skull open istg (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

So this is more or less the summary, I'm sorry for any mistakes!（/TДT)/

If anything is unclear (Main story or my summary), please let me know! ^^

so i actually ended up buying the manga since I really liked it a lot and I wanted to know what these characters said originally and check some things that didn't make sense to me. Just writing this post in case anyone else wanted to know some extra things especially since I believe this scan was not directly translated from Japanese so there are some things lost in translation. There are also a few missing pages which is why the flow was a little weird - you can find them on other sites that uploaded this manga but not sure if they are translated.

As for the doubts about their names, Yuuto’s name is 100% Yuuto and not Masato according to the furigana. Ryuusei is also definitely Ryuusei (or at least Ryuu something) but Yuuto calls him Ryuuchan the whole time.

2 pages missing after, which explains Yuuto is going back to the dorms because his roommate (Komatsu) can’t go home for summer so he feels bad for him, but he reassures his family he will attend uni from home. Then his dad reveals that he will be working in Singapore and the mother will be going too so they need to talk about where Yuuto will live (he also begs Yuuto to come with them lol)

There is a page before that, his delusions keep coming and he imagines himself in bed with Ryuu, this surprises himself into suddenly standing up which confuses Ryuu. He tries to come up with an excuse leading to “I suddenly really want to eat some watermelon”.

Actually, there are many pages missing from the bath scene haha. Anyways while Ryuu washes his hair, Yuuto suddenly remembers how he made Komatsu faint when he set him up alone with Shindou-sensei in the dorm’s bathroom back in highschool and at that point he realised his mistake LOL

http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/koi_nanka_shitakunai/mh/c004/24/
There is a page missing where Yuuto uses his right hand to masturbate, so yeah he didn’t get his left hand wet on purpose.

http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/koi_nanka_shitakunai/mh/c004/29/
After Ryuu stares at Yuuto’s neck, Yuuto brings up something like he is glad Ryuu is his brother which snaps Ryuu out of it.

http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/koi_nanka_shitakunai/mh/c004/36/
Yuuto didn’t just straight up leave, he tells Ryuu that he should tell him when he brings his friends home. Ryuu apologises and Yuuto says he was about to go out anyway and tells them to take their time.

Chapter 4 ends the first part of the manga and there is a special on Komatsu and Shindou-sensei: Yuuto gives him a trip to an onsen that Ryuu won in bingo with his drama crew, I think, and tells him its an apology for making him faint in the bath during highschool LOL

Volume 2:
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/koi_nanka_shitakunai/mh/c006/12/
Not important but in his list of contacts, his 3rd recent text message was from a “Hidechan” and not Komatsu. Ryuu is listed as Ryuuchan.

http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/koi_nanka_shitakunai/mh/c006/30/
Also not important, but just to be specific with the nicknames, Shindou-sensei calls Yuuto a brat rather than a little devil, so little devil is a nickname reserved for Ryuuchan only (chapter 8) (▰˘◡˘▰)
When Yuuto falls asleep, somehow his nickname switches to maiden but he is actually stuck with the name adulterer. When he is on the phone with Shindou-sensei later on, he introduces himself as the adulterer as well xD
Also when he falls asleep and Shindou-sensei calls him a little devil the third time, rather he referred to Yuuto as a hindrance which is why Komatsu told him not to call him that.

http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/koi_nanka_shitakunai/mh/c008/9/
“If I calm down I can’t sit properly” should be “If I calm down, I won’t feel like running away/I’ll be able to hold on” with a question mark (that’s why he is playing dead)

http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/koi_nanka_shitakunai/mh/c008/15/
Translation is not wrong, wanted to confirm that Yuuto does in fact say ready meals (≧∀≦)
More specifically he said 据え膳/suezen which reads ready meals but is figurative for a woman’s advances. Just a fun fact lol

http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/koi_nanka_shitakunai/mh/c008/20/
Translation is not wrong here either but when Yuuto explained that he wanted to do it with him since middle school, he mentions having delusions of Ryuu which is why Ryuu asks him if the real thing is better than the Ryuu in his delusions.

"come down until you're uncool" is the one line that has always bothered me and I thought it was wrong, turns out that's pretty much the literal translation from Japanese. I THINK he means Ryuu is cool → out of reach, and to get off that high place and come to where Yuuto is.

I found raws! https://www.pin-up-boy.fundash-yaoi.com/p-gina
