For the shippers that saw the spoilers for raw 44 and the end of the season, how's all feeling about it? ~spoilers~
So, the author chose to keep a certain mystery about Seungho x Nakyum's dynamic after that last sex. It has been two chapters without direct interaction and we don't know exactly what is going on between them... we get an exchange of stares. My impression though on this chapter is that, even if we don't know for sure, there is a vibe of 'they became assumed lovers' around them. Both Seungho and Nakyum look so ... calm, 'unproblematic' in their scenes.
- The time skip and Nakyum's closure with his past: A season change has gone by. ... are they sharing a bed? Eating together? Do they spend any time together that is not sex? I think the most important thing about the time skip is that Nakyum clearly got a grow up phase regarding Inhun. The scene where he has a quiet, serene smile when he says to the servant that he can just throw the picture away, seems like a closure for NK and his realization that he is okay. Nakyum has let go and moved on from whatever feelings he felt for Inhun.
- Seungho x Inhun : Seungho asking Inhun if he was not going to see NK to say goodbye before he leaves. Say what? What confidence is that for that guy that last time was ready to break them off talking with a sword? Seungho stopped worrying that NK will run away. Does he feel that NK moved on? Other thing: Inhun doesn't understand why Seungho concerns himself so much with NK.... after he leaves we see Inhun thinking about how Seungho always makes everything about NK. I think Inhun had discarded NK position with Seungho only a new sex toy for Seungho but now Inhun is rethinking several things he overlook before .... he just figured out Seungho cares for the lowborn. This becomes a very important part of the plot because Inhun thinks to himself: 'Nakyum is still useful then'
- The winter clothes: They are warm, obviously expensive for his position in society. Besides all the other points that the author wrote in S1 showing that Seungho provides special care for NK that he doesn't waste on others, the winter clothes is another one. But, most important, the clothes finally confirm NK position for everyone else. He is Seungho's assumed lover and others better watch out before look down on him (the servants, the tailor) . If before there were only gossip that master Yoon Seungho had stopped sleeping around and was shacking up with a lowborn, the winter clothes is the final statement to everyone that NK is indeed his lover, a special one, the 'mistress of the house' as that other fuck boy mocked Jihwa about and asked Seungho during the hunting... the position that Jihwa wanted... Seungho official lover. We didn't get to see NK reaction when he got his makeover but he looks very natural about it now... if before NK looked embarrassed if people knew that he was sleeping with Seungho, NK doesn't show the shame now. I suspect we will get to see NK fully 'upgraded' with a topknot at some point. Maybe he is taking lessons and learning to read too?
- Season 2 looks so promising. The assassin plot, snake Inhun plotting how to use his new found information, Seungho's family --- he really hates his father, doesn't it? I am getting a bit afraid that Seungho is gathering too many enemies at once. I think the assassin arc will backfire on Jihwa and somewhat get Seungho's harmed instead but let's see.
Anyway, My favorite scene in the end of the season is the sequence of Nakyum and Seungho exchanging a stare, NK is holding his head straight, then Nakyum walking towards Seungho while the snow is falling. This is even more symbolic because it was just after the scene where NK threw away Inhun's painting as if he had closed a chapter in his life.
I think Nakyum is not in love with Seungho yet at this point --- too soon for the plot and still there is so much to fix especially from Seungho's part to make it up for the hurt but Nakyum's breakdown after Inhun's words had the most turning point for their relationship. I can't wait for the official translation because I think we will going to see that it was not entirely about Inhun.... when Nakyum was crying on the floor and Seungho asked if he was doing that because of Inhun, Nakyum started answering in much general terms about everything that had happened so far .... the whole season we saw NK inner conflict about the paintings and sexual desire for Seungho. Some people posted here that NK is not a complex character and kind of vanilla. I disagree very much. I think all the times we saw NK dreams, we were watching the path for what NK blurts out at Seungho during that cry that makes Seungho look so surprised. But this is matter for after the chapter is release. This post is already too long.
Hope the other shippers are as hopeful as I am that we will get tons of Seungho x Nakyum good development next season.

Sorry, I meant to like!
No probs. Glad you like it!
damn we're so invested in this that we really writing whole essays with full on analysis. I never thought I'd apply my AP Lit symbolism practice on gay porn LMAOOO
Sunday evenings during COVID19 mandatory isolation well spent at least. :)
╮(￣▽￣)╭ thankful to the author for this story that really got us thinking a lot .....
I don't think we can call one week - two weeks at best - a time skip though. Or maybe that's just me.
Jihwa hired an assassin, he's not going to make him wait months before killing NK. In earlier chapter, although it wasn't snowing, the weather was already quite cold. And we know that snow can suddenly start falling overnight.
i liked it too when they locked eyes if only there was a scene after Namkyun asked to be held ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ inhun was so mad that Seungho cares for Namkyun lol
I think for me it's just a bit hard to believe that Nakyum went through the stages of heartbreaking and being able to let go as it shows in the last chapter. He sounded as if he had time to mourn the heartbreak and then move on and a week or two sounds a bit forced to me... I would guess a month has gone by at least.
The assassin could be watching Nakyum and the house for a while... I think that for such a job it would make sense to not rush if he has to come up with a plan.
Anyway, I guess the author didn't put a specific time frame so we would be wondering like this. Let's hope we get an answer in season 2. :)
Spoilers as always...
I was expecting we would get some pos sex scene between Nakyum and Seungho and I guess we won't get that but I have to say I love that the new chapter moves the plot along. I don't mind new characters although I am not exactly fond of having new love interests and pairings, it just become distracting. I hope the new guy is just an interesting new character but not really a pairing to anyone.
I say I loved the chapter because it was clear Jihwa was supposed to have a bigger part in the plot and now we know how it's shaping up. I am pretty sure Nakyum will be safe so the only think I can think of the new character is that he will probably will ended up dead by Seungho's hand. Jihwa too, he is playing with fire and now I even wonder if he himself will survive this story because Seungho won't forgive him this time.
What I don't exactly like: yet another random hot dude. I mean, readers are saying, oh so hot but ... really, who is not hot in this story?
Except for the old men, every character in this story is hot, cute or good looking. I think I thought that despite being slightly annoying, all this perfection still fit in the narrative.
- Seungho of course had to be hottest because if not, what's the point?
- Nakyum had to the cutest for the same reason. The hottest seme and the cutest uke are understandable the kings of the story.
- Seungho's harem couldn't have been any less than gorgeous even more if we consider that they are just for sex. So, in order to be Seungho's fuck buddy, probably the prerequisite is to be hot and young. It's like audition to Hooters, so understandable, all hot like. Jihwa is annoying but he's gorgeous.
- Inhun. Okay, that's true that most of us feel like puking when we see him because he's a snake but if we are honest, he is also very handsome. That also makes sense because after all, even if Nakyum is pure enough to fall in love not for looks, being an impressionable, sexually repressed teen having a crush on a teacher makes way more sense if the teacher is a hottie. So, okay, Inhun also had to be hot.
- Seungho's young brother: remember the furor when he showed up? Everybody drooling about how cute? Okay, he's Seungho's brother so genetics and it made sense.
- Now the assassin. Okay but why is the assassin yet another hot dude? He looks like Seungho evil twin. ( I mean the evilest one because Seungho is already mildly evil, lol). So, I don't know, maybe it's just to make him more mysterious. Maybe he is indeed meant to pair with Jihwa ( better a hot mofo than death by the sword, maybe the author wants to save him) . Or maybe the author just can't draw an ugly young man?
Anyway, I know that Nakyum won't die and thinking that his arc already included an extended near death plot, I find unlikely that Nakyum will be physically harmed again... so I am here thinking that either Seungho will successfully save Nakyum in time and just kill the new guy or he will do it not so successfully ---- meaning he himself will be the one getting gravely hurt this time.
Seungho ended up being hurt by the assassin would be an interesting path since this could shake things up for every other character --- Nakyum, Jihwa (that probably would go completely crazy knowing he caused it), Inhun and maybe even get Seungho's father into the picture.
I love love love what you wrote!
They all gorgeous and look preety much the same.. all his sex bodies- if they weren't wearing diffrent color, i wouldn't understand who is who...
But i am okay with the Good looking vibes... it makes it a better read. But i actually think that the artist drew alot of normal people- all the servent and the low-borns. I feel it is preety realistic. Most yaoi's stories and manga in general has beautiful Charecters all around.
And i don't think the new guy looks like SH bytheway! ! Well i think they all looks alittle like him, bec of the Artist hand... but i can't see he looks likes him more then the others:)
P.s love your comment!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it :)
Chaper 42 raw was sad but also kicked up a notch the intimacy between NK and Seungho. Opinions below are my own (mild spoilers).
What I love about this chapter is that Seungho ends up having sex with NK even knowing that he is being used for comfort. We know from the beginning of the story and also because of the time he got drunk that NK usually uses alcohol as escape for his sorrows. This time however he is using sex to forget and who's best to pound him into oblivion that Seungho? He wants comfort through sex and he gets it by being honest and frank when Seungho asks him if he is doing this under Inhun's orders.
Seungho may be a horny dog but he was not up for it when he thought that NK was seducing him because Inhun told him to do all that. He however can't help but cave in when Nakyum gives him both a subtle confession that he desires Seungho and then calls him off on the cruelty of refusing him now that he is asking when he had no problem taking it before when he rejected him.
Nakyum saying something like: 'when I look at you, my Lord, I'm scared but my heart beats faster ... even when I hated you all the time you embraced me without hesitation ... so why don't you embrace me now?
So much packed in this exchange. First, Nakyum's conflicting feelings about Seungho is the backbone of this story. He fears and then hates Seungho but he is also attracted by him. People seeing NK gradually letting himself enjoy the sex with Seungho, a man who scares and even raped him, quickly just calls it a Stockholm Syndrome but to me this is more about things that were seeded way before the sex. There are countless scenes showing NK was being seduced by Seungho lust and was drawn to him. Nakyum literally dreamt of an aggressive Seungho dirty talking to him .... it is not uncommon to feel attraction for what is dangerous, powerful, dominant and for someone so innocent and sexually repressed as Nakyum, lust may be more powerful than hate, even more when Seungho does things that show cherish and care (like all the things with the doctor, medicine, his room, etc). I think, by the way, that Seungho is already in love with Nakyum so even unwillingly gestures of care escapes him and Nakyum is also feeling that, especially in the moments Seungho surprises him with softness when he expects the worse.
At the same time that Nakym answered like that, he is also shaming Seungho, what is a thing of beauty. Seungho has no answer on why he can deny sex now that he is being begged to while he freely took it before without consent. He knows very well he is being the alcohol now for Nakyum and this is a bit of blow on his pride but he caves in and gives Nakyum what he wants.
Finally, this is the first time Nakyum is directing Seungho during sex and I think that even if Seungho is still flustered because of the reason behind the sex, watching Nakyum being vocal during sex and needing him must be even more of a plunge for Seungho. I wonder when he will admit he fell in love with the lowborn peasant.
Yes, I totally agree. What is the meaning of the "-...!" In the Nakyum's buble after Seungho kisses him, in your opinion? Is it just surprise? is there a deeper meaning? Thanks
I'm not really sure but the whole sequence is basically they both moaning so I took it as this. He's turned on.
I think that even if they started the sex under other pretenses, they both got into it and Nakyum is letting himself moan and enjoy and all the ! is for this purpose. I think we only will know for sure when we get the official translation. :)
OMG. I have to say the chapter is jam packed! It's such a development from Nakyum to ask and beg for it. For someone who is sexually repressed to ask for it? Damn what a feat! I feel like I should thank Inhun for it. Lol. Yet the poor boy had to experience such a convoluted situation. There are so many layers in the situation that his poor heart couldn't take it, thus crying like there's no tomorrow.
Then there's another wall from the many walls Seungho has broken down by Nakyum. The author is truly killing it.
At first I thought that Inhun had at least served the purpose of teaching Nakyum how to read ... but apparently not even that he managed. What a lame teacher. Nakyum apparently is still as illiterate as before. The only thing Inhun taught him was to be ashamed of his desires (that he expressed by painting male erotica).
It would be sweet if the next thing Seungho does is to start teaching Nakyum how to read or find him a tutor.
IKR? Yet he has the nerves to still make fun of the boy and mock him whenever he wants about how illiterate he is.
You are his teacher, man, it's your JOB to teach him and provide him basic knowledges.
If he's still illiterate at this age and day then it's your fault.
Though it's not surprising at all, if we remember how he thinks about the kids of the village that he was tasked to teach but doing nothing and just let them run in the dirt and hill, because for him it's useless for peasant children to know how to read. Nakyum isn't different from the rest of these kids for him.
Furthemore, he hates this job and thinks he deserves a much much greater position. And we know how he got to enter the Yoon household, thanks to the blind admiration of our orphan for him.
The dude is looking down on everyone except himself, is not even a teacher and that's why readers hate him, it's not only because he's fake or abuses mentally Nakyum.
Yes, it'll be nice to see Seungho teach reading to the boy, that will be a refreshing change for the story, and maybe Nakyum will start to see how a real teacher should be (crossed fingers).
Preaaaaach!!!
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I can only imagine how soft SH would be with NK for some reason. Like I just see him quietly stare and help him out with no ulterior motive in at least a one scene.
They just sit there. And be cute. Reading and shit. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Yeah, I would like for this to happen very much too :)
That red dot in raw chapter 40 ...
.... Probably it has been talked in here already but the author posted a tweet with a traditional Korean groom and bride meant to clarify to foreign fans the meaning of the scene where Seungho paints a red dot on Nakyum's forehead. She also mentioned that she regretted not to have added the red dots on the cheeks too as to make the reference clearer.... Big shout out to the shippers, Yo, the game is on!
Thanks for the tips...where can i find the pic, what I should looking for?
It's on chapter 40 (raw). The comments are full of spoilers xD
Oh sorry you're speaking about the tweet? Idk
The author's tweeter handle is @Byeonduck ... she tweeted this 2 days ago so just scroll down to see it. Meanwhile you will see that she enjoys retweeting fanarts from readers too. :)
Thanks :)
Do you have the link for the raw??
https://toonkor.ltd/야화첩
Here it is :)
I love that Seungho's harem get together to console each other when one of them is complaining about their husband.
It's like sister wives club. lol
True
PON 38 raws spoilers that everyone else already knows. ...
**** So much food for the shippers on this chapter!!!!
1 --- Seungho sleeps spooning Nakyum like he is his comfort blanket.
This is important because we know at this point that Seungho hasn't been sleeping well for a while. Seungho has been showing that he wants NK company even though when his intentions are not sex. NK presence soothes him and he wants him close even if it's not to have sex.
2 ---- Nakyum apparently spends half of the night awake and very aware (meaning blushing) of Seungho body pressing on him while sleeping.
I don't know about the theory that the medicine is making NK horny or not but If NK body is sensitive because of a drug, I find weird that 'badum' and 'tingling' doesn't happen around Inhun even when the snake gets all touchy freely with NK.
3 --- NK wakes up alone so unfortunately we don't get to see Seungho's face when he woke up clinging to NK like that, probably his first ever sleepover?. I like to think that he was so afraid of the intimacy of the moment of waking up cuddling with someone -- and not even someone who spent the night for sex -- that he run away. lol. We did get the cutest NK hair bed though.
4--- NK goes back to his room and finds Inhun the snake there looking for him, all excited to know what NK knew about the brother or what he heard. We see NK remembering SH mood while talking to his brother and we get to see also what NK saw when he turned around to take a look at SH sleeping (or maybe because he noticed he was restless). SH had his face frowning, his jaw tightening so he was clearly having some nightmare. NK lies to Inhun that he doesn't know anything.
The big take here is that NK could have scored points with his beloved teacher, but he chose to protect SH privacy from Inhun's ill intentions. To be honest, even if NK hates Seungho I think this is about NK kindness and being unable to betray someone. So, it's not that I think NK feels something good for SH at this point (besides the sexual attraction) but I think NK would do the same for anyone but even so it must not be easy for him not to give in to Inhun pressure. So I gonna say that this is NK development but not so much regarding to SH but actually towards Inhun and being strong enough to hold to his kind heart even if it's to protect the man who tortures him, instead of act as Inhun's pet.
5- NK is over there mulling why he lied to his teacher when the woman servant come to fetch him for lunch. Another set of NK being cute stuffing his mouth like a bunny. We get to know that NK is being trash talked by the other servant men because he gets preferencial treatment from SH and doesn't do chores. NK tries to argue something about not being a servant like the others (he's kind of right, he was commissioned to paint -- although he was technically kidnapped for it) but the ladies say that he looks like any of the other servants and even less with his short hair and dirty clothes. They are being a little too rough to Nakyum trying to get his clothes tto clean and that's when SH shows up and probably he overheard they mocking him .... oh boy, I don't want to be those ladies, lol.
Who wanna bet Seungho will go ahead and order nice clothes for Nakyum. It sounds like something Seungho would do when he wants to provoke even more outrage to people.
---
I really hope SH will brought NK new clothes ><
Damn that good information
ヾ(〃^∇^)ﾉ
Inhun the snake LOL
thanks a lot
1- glad there was no snapping. I think they're going to sleep together from now on. Not having to paint ''those'' scenes may convince Na-kyum into obedience. But boy, should redlocks turn up... the drammmaa...
4 - A big trait of Na-kyum is having admiration and high regard for who he considers worthy, respectable. In-hun is starting to feel sketchy, even for him, while Seungho, despite his maaaany wrongful acts, now shows his weak side. Again, blatant, raw, exposed, even needy (yes, forceful in his demands, but still). While In-hun, being weak, is also demanding, it seems more and more that Na-kyum is a tool in his plan and that they're old acquintances that have this unpleasant overpowered obstacle that keeps them in the same place... outside of his immediate use - to betray [to which In-hun wouldn't bat an eye, which, in turn, makes Na-kyum see him differently, maybe with a heavier heart... <<that's not very noble of him, isn't it?>>] -, Na-kyum, I think, feels he's really got no worth, in his formerly beloved teacher's eyes...
It would be quite the turn of events for Na-kyum to propose to Seungho something that would get the teacher away from the lord's immediate reach - but not because of the fear towards In-hun's life, but to protect Seungho from teach's machinations...
Love your commment and insight! Thank you so much for taking the time to write it.
I mentioned in some other comment, that moving forward, I'd love to see some flashbacks of SH past. And I belive we are about to see redhair again. Once he shows up again, I don't think the meeting will go the way he wants. He might even see NK being treated well (new clothes and what not) and get pissed again. And that creates the opportunity for him to likely meet In Hun the snake, and the latter will see a potential in him. They might stir some drama together later on.
Inhun the snake downvoted this.
And redhair!
:)
Was it.. Jinwa? It will be interesting to see how he makes his entrance, because he can no longer prance around as he pleases, seeing that he's a persona non grata on Seungho's premises. But yes, it could go on that route, him giving a weapon, maybe mistakenly, to In-hun. Because he's smitten, and a bit simple. Yet, I think he could surprise us, because he also understands human nature pretty well and has good senses, sooo... who knows. I'd find it hilarious for him to bitter-sweet-ly give his blessings to the new couple or help fix them up, because I do think he loves Seungho and understands he's of a different brand from him, not that functional of a pair and he understood where it was all going ages ago, between the usually untameable Sungho and the meek painter.
Will jealousy + bruised ego have the better of him, who knows?
Coming back to your interest in seeing flashbacks of SH's past. That will be a sight to behold; yet I wonder - we've been shown dreams and inner monologues of Na-kyum, yet I don't remember any window into Seungho's head. The same with In-hun. Only Na-kyum is opened up like a yummy tin can of... your preferred food of choice. So I think it could be evidence-based, or a peek into the scenes remembered through someone else's lenses, which would have an even bigger impact, because we'd see Seungho in a context.
Btw, glad to read your take on things, too :)
Thank you for the summary! I love your interpretation on possible theories esp. NK's char development
╮(￣▽￣)╭ bows and shakes handkerchief while clumsily backing away :)
LOL. They would form a good pair of BFFs.
This thread is the best (⌒▽⌒) thank you
By the way, I just remembered that the author had an artwork of Nakyum and Seungho together with Nakyum dressed up in 'lord' clothes an even a knot top, right? It was in the same series of the one of them hugging and laughing.
Maybe the author was already plotting to have NK dressing up in the story.
omfg where did you see that? on her twitter????
Well, Yoon could see to getting Na-kyum a social upgrade, since he'll want to keep him by his side... can't picture the turn of events, though, the major ''how''.
Nice catch! And do you mean the one where SH is dressed as the servant and Nakyum paints on his body and tongue?? This was so hot, and nicely reversed roles btw. And not to mention that the scene itself became the reality in the story, just according to their respective roles in this universe
Yes, twitter. Although you find it by now on Instagram and Tumblr too.
I'm trying to put a link here:
https://twitter.com/ByeonDuck_/status/1186267393334472704
Actually, at first I thought it was food but actually looks like he is playing with his paint brush and the scene looks a lot like a reverse of of their scenes.... it looks like it's Seungho who has his body being painted on...
I think your comment was meant for Zarathrustra.
Didn't know about that one, only knew their lovable hug, where there're dressed warmly and Seungho devilishly pulls at the string of a light-hearted, laughing Na-kyum's... hat, I think.
Err... don't know what to say about this pic with the reversal of roles, something rubs me the wrong way. But awesome, awesome foreshadowing, scene-wise (from way back in October)!
I love that the dirty talking on those days was so much classier .... boner was 'thick swell'.
Nakyum dreams always have Seungho acting like NK subconsciously confronting himself with things that he can't admit when awake.
This last dream is even more interesting because it has Inhun representing what Nakyum thinks he wants and it's right and Seungho representing the temptation of everything he was taught was wrong.
Dreams are also things you want so when Yoon gets closer as if he was going to kiss him... that’s really something.
Mumblings about raw chapter ( and so it has spoilers).
- Gotta laugh at Seungho's priorities. His brother travelled all the way to visit him and is outside his door demanding to see him and Seungho just goes on eating up Nakyum's dick as if he was finishing eating his dessert and can't be interrupted.
- I too was a bit confused on why Seungho would allow Nakyum to stay in the room and listen to such a private discussion. Seungho and Nakyum dynamic is getting a bit more intimate and I don't mean only the sex. Seungho must be smart enough to know that Nakyum is not exactly a safe person for him because he is a bit of a puppet for Inhun but also Seungho keep breaking 'protocol' with his lowborn, like having him using his quarters for rest so I don't know if Seungho is really losing sense of danger and 'propriety' because Nakyum or if in this case was just because he couldn't get Nakyum out of there because the brother was barging in Seungho didn't want him to know he was with a lowborn. This would explain why he had to cover Nakyum's face too.
- The brother is a cutie. He looks like a love child between Nakyum and Seungho. The family sure has good genes.
- I guess everyone is curious about Seungho's dad. Whatever happened, it seems Seungho just hates the man. I keep thinking that the dad must have killed someone Seungho was fond of... maybe his first love when growing up?
- I have no idea of what to make of the brother but I am hoping so much this is not a love triangle. I just can't handle love triangles. Besides, yeah, it's a cutie and all but to me the excitement of this plot is because Nakyum and Seungho are such extremes of each other and my hope was that they would be both changed a bit by each other's traits --- Seungho arrogance, lust, promiscuity and Nakyum repressed sexuality, innocence, naïve nature, they need to balance each other at some point. The little brother may be the fluffy one but I'm sorry, I can't imagine a passionate dick ball sucking talent being performed on Nakyum by any other but the sinful Seungho...
- Other reason I am not too keen on the little brother as love interest is because there are only so much trope I can take... Nakyum, Seungho and his harem are probably gays but must all men character turn gay like it was suddenly the water?
-- I am hoping ( guessing) the brother will be some kind of naïve person that Inhun will use? Maybe he will be fluffy little bunny pairing up with Nakyum and they will have cute little bunnies together and once in a while Nakyum will have dubious erotic scary dreams with big pervert bro.
Anyway, some may say that the highlight of the chapter is the little cutie bro but to me, the highlight is the blowjob!.... Nakyum cupping Seungho's face and Seungho looking hungry to go back to the meal... Seungho's giving some service to Nakyum's balls, Nakyum's nipples popping up ( the author put an effort there, she probably wanted them noticed) and Seungho getting a facial, lol. Never mind that he was still cleaning his face when he opened the door for his brother.
Somehow I want the brother to be an ambitious devil in an angel face who envies Seungho's position as older brother of the clan and wants to see him disinherited and dishonored and will be telling their father that Seungho is sleeping with a lowborn.... but I don't know if feudal times had things like that... where brothers had titles and power inheritance as monarchies.
''I too was a bit confused on why Seungho would allow Nakyum to stay in the room and listen to such a private discussion.''
He's not the one to shy away. Dipped thoroughly into the Styx of politics via family & its education plus personal history, he seemingly knows about ''sensible information'' and what can be done with it. Also, look closely at the scenes - there's a table with refreshments (between the brothers) where there used to be Seungho's letter/title?/investment? - the one I suspect is being unexpectedly given to the younger Yoon, after he'd already left the household premises. So I think this was a bothersome, maybe bitter request to which, in the end, Seungho complied - I'm tieing this with the letter he'd burned, earlier that day.
And. The fact that Na-kyum is still in the room tells me Seungho is, once again, ''not done yet''. Although this time I think it's going to end with the 2 of them sleeping in the masters chambers from thereon. There are many avenues to be explored (many psychological, S.'s guilt, pining included, N.'s curious interest, THE STARTED PAINTING), that are going to be put on hold because of what little brother stirred inside, but I doubt Seungho is going to let Na-kyum slip away this night. Sadly, he may be a tad more snappy... as if he needed more spark to his fuel, gah.
Es-tu française ?
Salut! Cheers from Luxembourg
Hahaha Hey ! Thanks
I think I am a bit afraid of Seungho's mood after talking to his brother. I'm not sure I want Nakyum around him. I think Seungho is at one stage where he craves Nakyum company, he seems to want him close even if he doesn't intend to have sex but he is also still pretty much the dangerous unstable master who is not used to any kind of intimate relationship and I'm not sure how the author would create 'bond' moments for these two.... the expectation is that Seungho would be really impatient ( and Nakyum after all is his main source of grievance with his 'rejection' ). Fingers crossed that instead of having Seungho snapping at Nakyum, there is some kind of development that kick start another kind of dynamic between them... Thanks for your reply by the way.
No... do I sound French? :) I wish I could speak the language though.
Oh sorry ! You write "naïve" in the middle of your work hahaha and in France we say "naïve" with accent, I didn't know that in English we could say "naïve" sorry I was just mistaken French is a complicated language but so beautiful !
Ah, actually I didn't even noticed the keyboard had added the accent. I think both forms are correct but almost nobody uses the " anymore. I meant to type naive but the keyboard autocorrected with the archaic form. It seems naive is after all originated from a French word so must be why there is also a form with the accent. :)
:) Good to read your thoughts too.
I think it probable for Na-kyum to meekly press for some clarification, which could open some pathways for their relationship to deepen and become more complex. But who knows, with this awesome author? I'd think it a rookie mistake for the story to simply steer towards a sex scene right now, because it would drown all the potential of showing the readers some new facets of a minimum of 2 characters - Na-kyum and Seungho -, maybe even 3 - the manservant. Also, the Seungho portreyed so far isn't a mindless ''rabbit'', he's got depth. Oh, but there could be a quiet, sour night of shared ba-dum-ed sleeping or the same minus the quiet part should Na-kyum blast about the replenishing medicine. That could summon some itch to punish or misplace blame.
PS: don't know why, but this younger Yoon coming by, the exchange of letters - makes me anticipate an exile of Seungho and some breather for Na-kyum, a sort of distance or shift in power between them that is beyond either. Also, I think Seungho was left behind also as guarantee by his father, a ''first-born deposit'' to appease the king's anger...
I know what you mean. I think that if there is anyone who can change Seungho mood from bad to at least calm would be Nakyum.... we saw the transformation Seungho can have with a simple touch or signal from Nakyum that is not resistance, like the scene in the patio in front of Inhun just after NK run away. The look in Seungho's face when NK held his hand and brought him back to the ground from his rage. It was like taming a tiger who was about to attack the teacher. So, yes, let's hope the author uses this for a change of dynamic between them.
I'm so afraid of this new character... I really hope it's not a new love interest. It would totally change the story for me. It's interesting your idea that may lead to a temporary separation between Seungho and Nakyum. I think I can see clearly Seungho development, he has fallen in love and craves Nakyum company but doesn't get what the feeling is besides having sex... I am very curious to see Nakyum's development.
Tomorrow we get to see if our hopes for a bonding time was right! See you after the raws :)

I don't know but that panel with Nakyum telling Seungho to fuck him harder and pulling his hand over his dick ... Nakyum seems less of a teenager and more of a man? Does his body look more muscle? I'm kind of love it, Nakyum looks absolutely gorgeous.
Nakyum delivering that line ended Seungho, tough... his faces reacting to Nakyum and what is going on in this chapter are priceless... he really is not up for playing comfort dildo but he can't resist a pleading Nakyum, even more one that resembles the first time he had him.... willing and needy.
I thought his body looked kinda weird there. . .
But I thought NK is in his early 20s because he drinks? Was there no age limit at that time period ?
LOL!
