"You realize the value of what you have only until you've lost it."
You had him in reach hands, but you kept playing push-and-pull games with him. That's only because he was around and you knew you could still tame him and he will take it. But, now that he has decided to let go of the rope you used to control him and left you, you are talking about bitterness? I'm speechless.
I won't call you an idiot, selfish, or any other type of negative connotation. No, I will not! Instead, what you are is afraid. You are afraid to choose because you are afraid to love and be loved. But mostly, you are afraid of yourself. You believe that you will not meet the expectations of the one you decide to choose. How would you know the future if you haven't even given the present a chance?
At last, you who have let the rope go, run. Run far away and never look back. Change a phone number, a name, or a country. And, indeed, the pain of having loved the one who could not love you back will take a while to go away but trust that with time, it will. And, when that time comes, you'll finally be able to smile and enjoy the smallest things in life. Then, make sure you find yourself the one who deserves your love. Allow yourself to love and to be loved by someone. Don't close your heart to love forever.
And you who have been clinging, in an illegal way, to the fearful one, please, take time to heal. Don't narrate to yourself that by being in a relationship despite your toxic personality, things will get better. No, they will not. You need medical help to heal from all your past demons. Then once you have healed, find yourself the one who will guide you upward and not downward. And, you, in return, have to play the same role as the one who'll let you in their heart. Don't rape, abuse, or manipulate them. And stop using your past to justify your actions. Face the present moment and learn to live in it. Be each other's source of support.
Lastly, to You who are afraid to choose, accept the loss and take time to heal. Take time to be with yourself. There are maybe 4 billion men on the planet, and I'm sure there'll be one you'll be able to choose for yourself. Learn to take risks in love and learn to say no when you come across someone who abuses you in the relationship from the get-go. Don't be someone's puppet but instead be each other's source of strength, comfort, and trust.
Kayden: What a shame, Jiwoo should have seen my greatness
Kartein's face spelling: You have got to be kidding me. What a narcissistic punk
Dude, you are the one cutting your life short.
If only you knew the higher-ups Ijin knew, you wouldn't be breathing the same air as him.
Siyun needs a new girlfriend. She has been restraining them so much and he has been trying his hardest to be a good boyfriend. But the second something happened to someone, she did not even give him the chance to explain. She did not say: "I need a break". But instead, she went straight to: "Let's break up". Then continuing to blame for being fake. She is toxic to him. He needs to be away from her to properly heal.
Yessssssssssssss! Things are about to go down the hill!
After many chapters of drama, let's get back to fighting mode!
I just realized this manhwa is also tagged under COMEDY. Well, I'm still waiting to break my bones in laughter! Hopeful wishing?
Thank you for showing up!!!
That low-life bad man hurt Kartein so badly! You need to send him to hell!
First of all, I'd like to acknowledge how beautiful this chapter was. The light, the colors, the emotions and Cain 's words. JUST BEAUTIFUL.
_____NOW______
That Yahwi kid did a number on Jooin to the point where the latter has forgotten how to express himself, or how to trust himself, or how to respect other people's kindness. Then again, many abusive relationships have that toll on the victim. It's a heavy price to pay. But with therapy and a GOOD PARTNER who is willing to help and support, victims can overcome the trauma.
It's not always easy to ask for help because it comes with fears of relieving the abuses. But then again, one can either choose to live with the pain of the past or heal from the pain of the past.
Speaking of the devil...
Jeez, when I saw Yahwi on my screen, my PTSD almost resurfaced. But, the fact that he appeared in this chapter and did not say a single word nor thought a single thought besides those three dots was a 6+ in my opinion.
Minus 4 points because just when I thought Cain was finally free, Jooin mumbles something to him. But if he told Cain to never come back, that'll be a ten billion+. Cain doesn't deserve this craziness, he deserves better than this crazy nonsense.
And, if Jooin wants to go to that Mr "I can now assault you for the rest of our lives since you chose me", be it.
I get that they are protecting him but dang what a waste of a flight ticket to be welcomed like that!!! Well, luckily he didn't pay for it, I hope!!!
If the girl at the end is a new FL, I'm up for it because I can't take this current one bossing him around. He is trying but she is not even seeing his effort just caring about herself.
What I've learned from this chapter is that Jooin does not deserve Cain. Until the day he proves me wrong, that's my thought.
Sure, Cain is not perfect only because he is blinded by love. But he is better than Mr. "I can assault you for the rest of our lives, and make sure you only desire me once I break your soul and mind because of my past if you choose to stay by my side".
At this stage of the story, which is still at point zero, I don't care if Yahwi and Jooin end up together because Jooin is still beyond repair. AGAIN, unless he proves me wrong.
I used to love Thursday and Friday. Like Especially when the week gets to Wednesday I'm like please Weekend comes fast. But today, I lose lives just thinking about Thursday and Friday. Thank you "yours to claim", you turned my weekdays into a yours to chain.
Once again the author brushed off the sexual assault that happened in the car like it was nothing. Just as he has done with all the assaults Yahwi inflicted on Jooin.
Cain, it's not you, it's both of them. They are both selfish deranged individuals and they deserve each other. I know one day, you'll find someone who will cherish your love and respect all the sacrifices you'll make for them out of unselfish love.
I can't wait for this manhwa to end so that I can FINALLY get to enjoy my Thursday and Friday.
"Jooin, you are only good to me in moments like this"? Saying this to a guy who is in his vulnerable state? This story is the true definition of what not to do IRL and the type of partner to avoid IRL I'm reminded of the saying: "Love does not hurt or does not envy". But the number of times Yahwi went out of his way to hurt Jooin because he wanted to process him or Jooin went out of his way to let Yahwi abuse or assault him is still flabbergasting to me. How can you allow someone to hurt you this much when you know that you have the choice to leave them and NEVER look back?
Unfortunately, the author is creating a narrative where the abuser has the power, through manipulation, to regain anything or anyone that has escaped their fingers.
Cain does not deserve Jooin at this point: he deserves someone who TRULY knows how to value and love themselves first before valuing or loving him in return. And everyone deserves a Cain in their lives.
This story is my painkiller! I'm currently reading stories that are driving me nuts and this story calms me down! I hope it stays that way, forever!!!!!
