ML: "I'm gonna use your wish to protect me from scandals to make you agree to being my sex toy, and once you agree, I'm gonna torture you for abandoning me back in high school..."
Also ML: "Didn't get to prolong the torture cause I came right away bc of how much I like you..."
Stupid ass.
Heh, you keep trying to drive him into a corner to force him to be honest about his feelings... but it's not like you were ever honest with him either, Mr "I like a(nother) dude so be a good 'friend' and help me test it"
Gaaaaah... neither did they get to hear about the rebellion, nor about them planning treason against the duke, nor about the viscount's daughter's true appearance! Author-nim, why are you doing this to my blood pressure...!! (╯T﹏T)╯╧╧
So, dear Han Jei... you're a guy who's about to get married with a wedding right around the corner, who is not only lying his head on his friend's lap for comfort, but even wanting to share the bed... and you still thinks it's supposed to be just a "caring friend" relationship?
Dude, you need therapy...
I don't quite agree, friends can totally do those things. In his case though... he's clearly got some feelings. Which is ehy it pisses me off that he proposed to a woman who he apparently doesn't even wanna marry and still wants to act like a couple with his best friend
Yeah.
Friends do stop doing that stuff so often after a certain age and relationship experiences, though. Especially, when they're not roommates, but each accostumed to having their own separate roofs, and their own separate romantic partners ("separate" in the sense that their romantic partners aren't always from the same social circle, anymore). Moreover, when its a place where there ARE spare beds for the other person to use...
It becomes kinda less frecuent to willingly share a bed with a friend (when there are spare beds) because at a certain age one starts getting prickly with their sleeping preferences, particuarly when you start really needing your quality sleep because age means you still have to get up early to go to work the next day, and will no longer be able to function without a good night's sleep) so you're no longer as tempted to be so accomodating if the friend has sleeping habits you're not used to, and which may disturb your sleep, like snoring, rolling over anf over while asleep, hogging the sheets, etc etc etc (the type of stuff you would save all your tolerance for only when it comes to a romantic partner in a steady relationship). You also become mindful of how your own sleeping habits may cause discomfort for the other person... not to mention about respecting other people's private business and space (like, always being mindful your friend may have planned to have someone over for sex, or may have been waiting for that chance to get re aquainted with their hand... or may simply NOT want to share their bed unless they absolutely have to, when there's a perfectly good extra bed just in the other room).
I mean, the older you get, the more quality sleep you need to get you through the day, and the less you're willing to sacrifice it in order to adapt to sharing a bed with other people who's not your even your romantic partner. Sad, but true...
Seems like events are forcing both the FL and ML to shift some of their attention away from their private "daily toxic dance" with each other, enough to *really* turn some of that attention on how the rest of the world is looking at them: the FL wants to hear the sister out, while the ML is starting to realize he can't possibly control all the variables in order to keep the FL safe while still beside him (...even if the attack wasn't just "bad luck", if you know what I'm saying...).
The ML angry at the mc for getting fooled by the younger celebrity guy. The real question would be, does he have a right to be angry at the "unequal treatment"? Well, if we talk from the emotional side, it's definitely a HUGE "no," but it's different if we're talking about his duties as a professional manager: from that perspective, the ML is at least right in one thing, that the mc works for him now, he's the one paying the mc's salary now, so the mc has no business wasting time with another celebrity, anymore. The mc accepted the ML's offer knowing it's a full time, exclusive job, that demands that his exclusive attention be given to just ONE single celeb at a time, but many times he ditched the celeb he was getting paid to take care of (and to accompany to events) in order to go see what the younger guy wanted or needed. It's obvious that the younger guy planned to keep calling him to his side with petty excuses and, if this kept on, it would end up causing the mc to really start neglecting his *current* job. (I mean... even if the mc had a boyfriend or girlfriend, he would still give any employer fair reason to fire him if he keep ditching the celeb he's working with, in order to go see what his lover wanted, each and every time the lover texted him!"
sorry I meant to dislike
MC only “ditched” ML twice. The first time he made sure to drive ML home before going back and talking to Hanyeoul. Second time, also made sure to take care of ML first before planning to take care of Hanyeoul (which he was unsuccessful at because ML would not let him return). ML does not own MC or deserve to monopolize his time just because he pays him a salary. By that logic my boss can call me at midnight and get mad I’m out hanging with my friends.
Nope, read again. wrong of both accounts. I'm talking about chapter 15 and chapter 21. In chapter 15, the ML drove himself home because the mc wanted to "meet up with a friend" (managers are usually charged with getting the celebrity safely home in Korea, you know, because of stalkers etc?). Second time, in chapter 21, while still at the event the MC stopped answering calls from the celebrity he was accompanying, in order to go play hero for the younger guy, while STILL AT THE EVENT. I'm not that fond of the ML but I still see that the mc is slowly but surely letting himself be at the beck and call of a manipulative junior that isn't even paying him a cent.
For reference about the manager job
"Many of you guys probably already know. The hardest part about being an idol or celebrity manager is the crazy work schedule. Especially road managers, who have to travel everywhere with the celebrities, work early morning to late night. Many of the times, they have to be ready before the celebrities are and end the day after dropping them off at home, so they might even work longer hours than them."

ML: "You only act assertive and say no when it's to me, and you only stand your ground when it's in front of me me. With anyone else, you lose your guts and act like a complete pushover."
Me: "Sorry, but I think he's right, babe... You've got to work on that 'selective bravery' of yours"
Emperor: 'OMG. Is this, like... turning her on?? ...And why the heck am I blushing?!!?!!'
XD XD XD
Chapter 55
Crown prince: (to the redhead lady) "Don't mind my wife, she's bi and used to do poly" (=・ω・=)
I have a nagging feeling the killer isn't either of the two MLs, but her father (my gut feeling is, the guy was never her real father, since she looks nothing like him)
I have the same feeling xD It totally gives that vibes
