The way I understood chap 43's highlight, was basically Hangyeol finally realized that Hanyool might actually be the killer in the future, so he's decided to bring his brother down the cliff with him, but Hangyeol didn't have enough strength to really chuck the both of them down the cliff, and Hanyool realized what Hangyeol was trying to do, out of self preservation pushed Hangyeol off him, but unknowingly down the cliff instead, so that was why he looked so shocked when Hangyeol fell and he could only sit there while Taehyuk jumped in to save the person Hanyool thought he was protecting all along.
Pretty sure that's why he is having a breakdown on the last panel, because he realized, he kept Hangyeol around him because he needed to feel wanted and depended on, but if his life was in danger, nothing else really mattered, and that included his only brother I guess.
that many people cannot read this because it was too frustrating and toxic for them... I'm not blaming or insulting anyone.
the tropes of these two ukes are quite common, and the author did well writing the storyline imho, they're living life however they could with what they had, this felt like a struggle to read because the characters are going through so much pain it makes me feel heartache just looking at them too
imho, the characters felt believable, karasuma growing up to become what he was because of his childhood(his father's decision to pull him from school when he was assaulted) made him feel that all he had was his body and he had to use it however he could to get what he wanted, it was fucked up though.
sumi has always been protrayed almost like a reckless "kusogaki"/tsundere and his choices does reflect that, when he said "I went and did something I can never take back" hit me like a truck I could feel the regret radiating from my phone screen. The two semes did what they could to support their partners (best boy Utou though)
And overall, it was realistic, for them in their world of course. THEIR. WORLD.
This was a great read, really, to those who hated it, sorry to hear that.
Megumi to Tsugumi is a pretty great read if you're into the more slice of life/green flag omegaverse stories.
