I tend to think that when people are drunk, they're telling the truth. It's such a joy to see LiHuan not only being honest, but also expressing his lack of experience! It was just adorable when LiHuan questioned why giving flowers didn't make YuYang happy like a character in a manhua he read (lol)! And it was just the sweetest moment ever when LiHuan said, "Whenever you feel down, come to me and I'll find a way to cheer you up... That way you won't feel like drinking," which is what happened during the manhua moment! :P I enjoy seeing LiHuan's persistence to love YuYang and no one else. If LiHuan easily looked for someone else, a female even, it would just demonstrate that he was never serious about YuYang...
And those two people at the end who spotted LiHuan kissing YuYang on the cheek... I thought one of them was using a flashlight on their phone, but it could very well be a picture... And the other person who said he spotted them kissing... :/ Can these two just leave? I hope the photo isn't used to blackmail or threaten YuYang and LiHuan or whatever. But if there's a fight scene next, I'm prepared for it. I love seeing jerks get punished for being insensitive.
I mean this when I say I read a lot of stories, so it's not too easy to trigger me with this type of drama, but WOW! That was such a hurtful line when Yujin asked, "Did that guy give you a good fucking whenever you apologized or something?" ┗( T﹏T )┛ SHIWOO IS APOLOGIZING FOR HURTING YOU, YUJIN! Shiwoo does not get turned on from apologizing, okay!
Yes, I'm aware that Yujin thinks Shiwoo still loves Hyun and is hurt when Yujin believes Shiwoo sees our young boy as a Hyun replacement, but c'mon on!! That was such an INSENSITIVE line! Shiwoo was honestly crying. People don't always make sense the way you want them to when they experienced violence and it can definitely be a cycle when you experienced an abusive relationship. And again, I'm aware that Yujin doesn't know the full story, but nonetheless, it hurt to hear him say that LOL.
I know Shiwoo didn't love Yujin at first, and made it clear our actor enjoyed sex, but Yujin, please don't let out your hatred through sex either! It's baffling to see that Yujin had so much desire to protect Shiwoo before, but now Yujin is (unknowingly to him) contributing to hurting Shiwoo.... :/
Can Yujin and Shiwoo somehow take baby steps by FIRST keeping their pants on, and just asking the 'why' questions and answering them honestly?? I got reminded of that moment when Shiwoo gave Yujin head 'cause our older boy just wanted his manager to feel good, but nope, Yujin had to connect that back to Hyun, asking if Hyun enjoyed head.... --____-- Hyun is not present, so don't turn this into a three-person situation!
Still Shiwoo's fault. He shouldve known that Yujin is younger than him, a little naive and plus, has loved him his entire life.
He felt that for all the years that they've been through, why didn't Shiwoo even felt sympathy or either yet, regret on abandoning him in the past. And fell for a guy that was pure shit.
It was a shot to the heart. Realizing that you were a third wheel on their relationship, and Shiwoo once stated that there should be no feelings attached if they have sex, and if Yujin did, then theyll end it.
Yujin literally followed all Shiwoo's commands because he knew he was a dog.
Yet Shiwoo "Had a change of heart" and broke their contract.
It was that sadistic bastards fault as well. But he was a victim of Shiwoo's whoreness so no wonder he'd end up like that.
I'm definitely not calling anyone an angel here, so I see where you're coming from. I just wanted to express my distraught at Yujin this chapter.
It's sad for Yujin to have an unrequited love for Shiwoo his whole life. Although, I think it's also a choice on how we respond to this information, because it was still Yujin's choice to stay as Shiwoo's manager and engage in sex. It's not too surprising when one party gets hurt when the other doesn't love them back, especially when that party is already aware the other party doesn't feel the same way... :/
Hyun seemed like a genuine guy before he turned to violence. If Hyun broke up with Shiwoo without resorting to violence, things would be quite different.
It's sad to see that Shiwoo has hurt both Yujin and Hyun. x(
It took me a good 9 minutes to read this and spazz and grin too much!! It was exactly 10:59 PM when I finished, and I read DJun's "All right, kids. It's time to go sleep." HAHA. I'm actually taking a break from studying for an exam. Reading this really cheered me up! ^^
I was spazzing so much when YuYang grinned and said, "...I like Lin Xiang." I think LiHuan not giving up demonstrates even more how serious our baby is. :)) And I adore YuYang's initial reaction when he pushed LiHuan aside and made sure no one was around haha!! XD
It was so adorable to see LiHuan pout, and when his puppy ears drooped <33 But damn, it was so cool when LiHuan covered YuYang's mouth from continuing, and asked, "Why don't you believe me?" Although, it was still nice of YuYang to thank LiHuan for the pretty flowers, and there was good communication when YuYang said not to give flowers like that again :))
I like that YuYang chose to keep the flowers. YuYang wants to reject LiHuan since he thinks LiHuan is confused and he doesn't know he loves LiHuan yet, but he can't bring himself to be too cruel, huh? If YuYang was being extremely cruel, he could have stomped on the flowers in front of LiHuan's face and walk away (not that YuYang would do something mean like that x( )
And I found it TOO precious that LiHuan was using WangWang's BL stories as references!! XD Yes baby, they really are different!! :P Some stories have terrible tropes in it, so you should not follow them!
I hope LiHuan just chooses to be himself around YuYang more often, and I think YuYang will eventually have his heart warmed by LiHuan :))
I think YuYang may look back on LiHuan pursuing him and feel warm... LiHuan is trying to express love, even though he's a little clumsy right now. x)
Sorry, I had second-hand embarrassment and squealed and covered my eyes, especially at page 25 when LiHuan squeezed in between Lin Xiang and YuYang. LiHuan's behaviour was just so out of character, and I would have been too embarrassed in his position! XD
If I were YuYang and LiHuan was someone I didn't know well, I may interpret our taller boy as a jerk who's meddling into my business. But since YuYang already knows LiHuan, I hope YuYang asks instead, "Hey, are okay? This isn't like you." Honestly, LiHuan’s roses to YuYang came out of nowhere, I think anyone would have had their eyes sticking out and thinking, "Whadahell?!" too.
Regarding the beginning of this chapter... I was sad when LiHuan said, "He still likes that person..." after YuYang left. :(( YuYang was just embarrassed, and I think it would take anyone time to register what happened. YuYang still needs time to reflect on his own feelings for LiHuan.
Now, I was happy to see Lin Xiang and YuYang walk down the stairs together. They were beginning a casual conversation about drawing (debriefing their class), and then LiHuan came... I'm curious about what Lin Xiang would have said if LiHuan didn't appear. We haven't seen YuYang dream about Lin Xiang in a while now, and there was no romantic vibe or thoughts from YuYang to Lin Xiang, so this scene may be an indicator that YuYang is moving on.
Overall, I just hope YuYang doesn't perceive LiHuan negatively, and recognize that our taller boy has good intentions but not quite the pursuing knowledge... I like to think everyone is learning in this story. There will be a moment later when YuYang recognizes that LiHuan genuinely loves YuYang, not that LiHuan is confused from having a new friend; I just know it.
The problem is that lihuan needs to articulate that he doesn't have to be gay to have honest feelings for yuyang and that he fantasizes about doing H stuff with him. A regular hetero wouldn't feel that way, maybe lihuan is bi, I don't know but yuyang doesn't need flowers, he needs reassurance that he isn't dragging lihuan into a part of society that is treated as outcasts. He doesn't realize thst even though lihuan's parents accepted him, lihuan was already cast out of society in his own way....anyway, thank goodness this is all a relection on the past so we know their relationship will improve...right before a murder inestigation, terminal cancet and a car accident resulting in memory loss but hey as long as they get together in the end, I'm good. These 2 cinabuns
I've been too drained from real-life to comment since chapter 53, but OMFG!! HELL YEAH!! EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL. Please, someone tell me where I can meet a LiHuan!ヾ(☆▽☆)
I love that LiHuan was OPEN to expressing his feelings!! GOOD JOB my baby <33 Holding YuYang by the wrist, embracing the latter, and being honest "Don't go away, I don't want you to look for him. I want you...looking at me..." ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ (Sorry, if you don't read the last panel where LiHuan said, "...looking at me..." it's easy to interpret LiHuan's message sexually LOL. But that's okay, we know LiHuan wants YuYang that way too! :D )
I LOVE that we see here that YuYang is falling in love with LiHuan without realizing it himself. :)) When YuYang called out to Lin Xiang, that was YuYang's excuse to get away from any awkwardness with LiHuan, not that YuYang actually wanted to see Lin Xiang. :P YuYang wasn't thinking of Lin Xing this entire race, and that may be a good indicator of YuYang slowly moving on <33
If I was in YuYang's position, my heart would be beating rapidly when LiHuan held YuYang's hand during the race. I FALL for COOL moments like these!! XDD And I'm totally like YuYang where I leave when situations get awkward LOL!! But damn, we already knew this, but LiHuan is so reliable!!ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I also LOL-ed when the other school piggybacked each other!! XD YuYang's "What the fuck?! Is that allowed too?!" on page 14 was so funny and cute! This is totally reminding me of the life I'm not living right now :P
But okay... YuYang jumping on LiHuan with his legs around the first-year and LiHuan holding YuYang by the bum... Wow. I love the boys' innocent reactions LOL. LiHuan blushed and YuYang was just momentarily happy that their school won the race. :P (Of course, my experienced BL eyes see that as an excellent position in general once their relationship evolves ;) )
Although, I'm curious... Can campus life be this active? Does this tend to happen more for people who live on school residence and choose to get involved? I hear how common it is for people who commute to school to not know what's happening on campus because they're not around enough :c
I skimmed through chapter 1, and I find it very cute. I feel as though I time-traveled back to my high school days :) My childhood friend had a similar experience where she would walk down the hallway and there was someone who always made mutual eye-contact with her, but they did not know each other's name and did not share conversations.
I love that you can feel the mutual interest the protagonists have in each other. Music can be a great conversation starter in getting to know each other <33
Although, the monologue makes me feel nostalgic... Kanata's (light-hair boy) monologue regarding Akira (dark-hair boy), "When was it that I first became aware that from that corner, he could see very clearly all by himself the general noise and clamor?" On the last panel, Kanata's face seemed gentle... Someone who can be surrounded by people, but doesn't necessarily feel at home or deeply resonates with his school peers.
I love it when two people can feel a mutual connection, without necessarily needing to know many things about each other :) Sometimes, you really don't need to know someone's background to be drawn to them and have the urge to be near them, learn more about them... Attraction can be odd like that.
Maybe this is what you call, being drawn to the unknown? I'm fond of this author after reading chapter 1 of Revival Blue http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/revival_blue/ (currently chapter one is available) because of the sweet mystery and nostalgia itz tends to present.
I get the feeling that I won't regret reading itz's works, and that this author likes to show meaningful connections.
Okay, it's already 1 AM and I am having mixed feels. I don't want to believe Klaus's cousin (who seems like a bastard LOL) when he said, "I did have some fun with her for a day or two." We still don't know what her side of the story is!! Heck, Anton's mother seems to have lived a sad life... :( It seems she had nowhere to go and she was probably poor, which is why she accepted the money to meet Klaus.
I think Anton's mother did fall in love with Klaus though, based on what we have seen so far like when she cried at how the Arnault family were treating Klaus... Maybe the poor lady thought she finally found a home when she married Klaus, but then seeing that the Arnaults were such jerks to Klaus, she thought it was better for her to leave so her husband could have his former life back. Knowing Klaus, he wouldn't let his wife go so easily, so her only option was to leave him... Love can be very selfless.
But what happened to Mrs. Arnault?! If she's pregnant at this point in the story, there's more reason to not mistreat her! ┗( T﹏T )┛
I tend to think that even if people begin a relationship with you through a prior deal with someone, the emotions can still be very real. Intuitively, we can just know when someone is genuine with us. Klaus may be a sheltered heir, but I think even he can sense that his wife loves him. Again, she already lost her mother and had nowhere to go, so to her, she probably felt the same paradise he did in the summer they fell in love.
Now, I'm curious if Mrs. Arnault was pregnant and Klaus still stayed with her or not... Did she live separately and then gave birth, and then Klaus just took Anton away from her??
.... ;------; I don't know anymore... And by the way, I'm so bothered at how alike Klaus and his cousin look! Damn, that cousin is so arrogant, I don't know him yet and I'm feeling annoyed just looking at him LOL. It's not Klaus's fault that the cousin was too incompetent as potential heir. :/
Who knows, maybe Anton is actually a child conceived by Klaus' cousin and the wife and not by her and himself.
Yeah i thought about that too
If Anton is his mother and Klaus's cousin's child, I'm now curious as to why Klaus is raising Anton as his son... ;-------; The Arnault family may need an heir, but then it would make sense for Klaus to remarry and procreate. Arwin thinks that Klaus loves his wife dearly, which is why he hasn't remarried... If Arwin is right, then it's sad that Klaus is basically trapped by her :/
Okay, this was a bittersweet chapter... I'm so glad Jiwon is reflecting on his feelings. It's a big step forward that Jiwon knows he was just afraid of being hurt when he was with Dong-gyun, because Jiwon was hurt when he loved Hweemin. That last part when Jiwon admitted that if he were to go back in time when Dong-gyun asked, "Sunbae, do you love me?" I couldn't help but smile when Jiwon replied, "Yes. I love you." (▰˘◡˘▰) And since the last page was coloured, can I hope the rest of the chapters would be like this? xDD
I haven't been in Jiwon's position before, but the way Hweemin rejected Jiwon was just too cruel. Instead of not replying to Jiwon's text messages, Hweemin could have just broken up straightforwardly. Geez :/ I recognize that Jiwon is such a fragile human being. Jiwon just wanted to be loved (one reason why he chose to become a broadcasting DJ), but also feared being hurt... :((
I think once Dong-gyun understands Jiwon's reasoning for being a jerk, Dong-gyun may consider accepting Jiwon back. Jiwon's reflection "Dong-gyun became a part of my life the day I met him" WAS SO SWEET!! ヾ(☆▽☆)
Jiwon, be a better person and go pursue Dong-gyun!! Just be honest about your emotions!!
What happened to Mrs. Arnault?? Where did she go? Was she already pregnant with Anton when she left??
It seems Anton's mother's only choice was to leave Klaus, or else Klaus wouldn't have been accepted back into the Arnault family... :(( It seems Klaus began to grow cold when he decided to accept the elders' anxious hand to come back to the Arnault family, for "formidable power in order to keep and protect what was [his]." It seems even after Klaus became heir to the Arnault family, he didn't stop looking for his wife...
It's good to see that the couple remained in love after marriage. Klaus didn't regret marrying Anton's mother when he recalled, "...my trivial annoyances paled in comparison to how complete I felt with her by my side." <33 I think Anton's mother loved Klaus as well, since she anxiously waited for him to come home and cried for him since his family abandoned him and only called him when their family business was in a crisis :/ You could really see the love from Klaus since he wiped her tears as she spoke.
I hope there isn't some kind of plot twist, like Anton's mother not loving Klaus at all, and her marriage to him was only a scheme so Klaus wouldn't be the Arnault family's heir... ;-----; But then why did she leave??

So, it seems Klaus's wife was raped by Klaus's cousin. Later, Klaus finds his wife in a hospital and she already gave birth to a child, who we assume is Anton. Is it guaranteed that the wife's child is Klaus's cousin's? It depends when she got pregnant... I get the vibe that Klaus's cousin used Klaus's wife to get close to Klaus... Was she raped before she met Klaus or later when she left Klaus? I'm looking for some clarifications here!
I don't understand Korean or Russian (the language the story has been fan-scanlated into), so I don't know for sure why Klaus thought of his wife and Anton while Klaus was having sex with a sex worker... I hope this story just doesn't turn into incest. I get the impression that if Anton is not Klaus's son, then Klaus may have raised Anton for his wife's sake (he loves her that much), but maybe he just felt so powerless. Even though Klaus has so much power, he couldn't prevent his wife getting raped and he probably is lacking love overall. I don't know where Klaus's wife went either...
There was a sweet moment where Heath ran to Nick (naked and sleeping in bed by himself), and it was just SO adorable to see them embrace each other! That emotional intimacy <33 I don't know if Heath has romantic feelings for Nick or if the way they feel about each other is mutual, but it is nice to see them comfort each other.
Chapter 36 shows Arwin's monologue, which I also don't understand LOL. I get the impression that Arwin was all alone, and got hated by the other sex workers for receiving Klaus's favour. Yet... Arwin is able to smile when Klaus appears, almost like Klaus is a saviour in Arwin's world. Does Arwin feel conflicted now that Anton is involved? Does Arwin have similar emotions towards Klaus and Anton?
There's still a lot to explore! I'm curious about why Anton went to go talk to Heath (to learn more about Arwin?).
I just really hope this story isn't incest LOL.
