I was super hype when they finally updated, but then I remembered I already read the translated version up to chapter 31 on some other rando's page on this site. Keep it on the low tho, I dunno why the main page is updating so slow...

The absence of abuse has been pretty nice for a while, but I've got a feeling Koogi doesn't plan on a whole chapter dedicated to the "pizza and french fries" technique. Something tells me Sangwoo's gonna try to "teach" Bum how to ski by taking a helicopter ride with him to the top of a double black diamond or something. Hopefully no horrible accidents take place...

But when I saw they finally fucking updated my mind almost spontaneously exploded. FUCK. YESSSSSSS!!!

Sangtae needs to give an actual apology before this shit proceeds man I swear. This dude legit ruined my boy's life and took every good thing that he had from school to work and relationships, turned him from a popular valedictorian into a disgruntled outcast who receives no credit for his equally hard work just so he could laugh at him all because he overheard him being nice one time. The fuck is that!? My dude did not deserve that shit! Those were some serious sociopath shenanigans and that dude owes an apology to Jinwoo for real before he gets that baseball bat broken off in his ass and deserves it too!

This muthafucka bouta get bitch slapped by the Devil himself! Hurry up and save Doctor Acula dammit!

He's done it, Marty! He's fixed the timeline! Fuck you spooky book!

Errybody out here feuding about who hates who and I'm still laughing about those two getting NOICE on some zombie shooting shit haha.

Honestly, fuck off-brand Sasuke, I'm pullin' for pink hair homie and Bakugo to get back together. Two brooding dudes with passive-aggressive attitudes does not a happy match-up make.

Really bruh... You're gonna stop updating after THAT cliffhanger? REALLY BRUH!?

Stockholm Syndrome would only apply to people who didn't have feelings for someone beforehand, whereas Bum had feelings for Sangwoo from a distance for like 3 years. Bum was already an atrociously abused, self-harming and self-loathing loner, so he saw Sangwoo, one of the only people who saved him from abuse in the military, as his only option for happiness. Of course, Sangwoo also turned out to be abusive, but after already suffering so much abuse, he chose to look past it because Sangwoo was the last thing that kept him going anyways and they discovered that they shared similar abuses which they dealt with in different ways (Sangwoo by hurting others, Bum by hurting himself).

As for Sangwoo's oedipus complex, yes, that was clearly the initial reason for his feelings as Bum felt like a replacement for his mother (which was why he stopped having the waking nightmares about her). However, once Sangwoo and Bum began bonding over the understanding of their shared abuse (Sangwoo's dad and Bum's uncle), that is when I think they both began having genuine feelings for each other. Also, since Bum's uncle reminds Sangwoo of his dad (who was his first kill) I believe he thinks that killing the uncle with Bum would be like the ultimate bonding experience.

I don't think that Sangwoo was telling BUm not to trust him in the last chapter because he wants to betray him, but because he actually cares about him and knows that his violent tendencies and psychotic episodes may actually lead to him hurting Bum (which he genuinely doesn't want deep down). But that may be end up being the reason that Sangwoo wins his bet and doesn't grow old, because maybe after killing Bum's uncle, he'll start having delusions of Bum being like his mother after he killed his father, when she started to hate and abuse him as well.

While he and his mother once sought to comfort and shelter each other from his father's abuse, once he killed his father, the pent up anger and violence his mother received from him was transferred to Sangwoo. He might kill Bum (just like he likely did to his mother) in anticipation of a betrayal which he was taught would happen after an abuser has been dispatched (main theme of the story being the transfer and lasting effects of abuse and the way that the abused go on to use abuse as a learned defense mechanism from more abuse, even from those who wouldn't abuse them because they can't bring themselves to trust anyone) and after realizing what he'd done, kill himself. But that's just another theory.
