On another note. I understand jeongro's struggles and stress, honestly way more than I wish I did - with a ill mother and stress about life, school, career (in my second to last year of uni after taking a leave of absense, working a parttime I feel emotional numb in while I try to take care of my mom while my dad withers away from dementia (though I don't really give a shit about him because he was a neglectful and almost abusive father to me my entire life - never hit me again for 'dicipline' once I turned 14 because I wouldn't let him). But, the one thing I've always wished for was some kind of love outside of my mother's. I found a little bit of it with a close friend, but she had enough problems with her home life to add the emotional weight of mine. This is all to say I understand Jeongro so fkn much, that damn desperation and wondering if you'll ever be okay again, if the pressure will ever lift. But that'll never be a good enough excuse to ignore the people who genuinely love you - to be so blinded by your own selfness (which, honest it all is. Suffering is inherently selfish, and I've been so selfish for a long time - though sometimes I dream about days where I can be a little more and break free without the crushing guilt), it's why I almost despised him when he left Gyul. Maybe, I saw a reflection of myself and what I could be capable of in my future... The hurt. Although, I suppose we're different in that I never left. I could've never left because my mom was already sick by the time I wanted to leave, to find myself. In that sense, I'm honestly so envious of Jeongro, for at least trying, even if he flew too close to the sun, before he truly had to deal with familial suffering, because I think he became stronger than I could ever be - to which I guess I'm a little bitter. What a damn good story. Gyul is still my favorite of course haha! Sorry for the rant. Had a lot of pent up emotions there I suppose.
Hope is always on the horizon y'all
(If you know you know)
By the end jeongro managed to redeem himself, so since gyul is happy, I'll be happy ╥﹏╥
He was very sweet towards Gyul though (finally, with the passion that Gyul always gifts him, he's reciprocating. Really pissed me off the middle chapters) so I'm looking forwards to the side stories!!!
Id agree with y'all about the switching if it wasn't for how much a irredeemable dick Nakwon was to him at the start and until he fully fell in love (which like, even moderately logically - Wtf, someone kick him out of the police force ╥﹏╥, he should become a fkn attorney instead). I don't want him to experience the pleasures and joys of being dicked down by Mokhwa（/TДT)/
You'd think bro would learn his fkn lesson. That new guy (if ml wasn't already so obsessed with the MC) looks like he would have become like the Ml from Warehouse if the dumbass kept that up. Karma wouldve hit him at some point, unfortunately that we had to have witness it （￣へ￣）
Man, I had to do a doubletake cause I thought we somehow skipped to chapter 20 the first chap. Wth is with this pacing and story
The way I love Wonhyuk (hyung) design, only to be met with this clusterfk of a short story. I gotta admit, it had some potential if written decently - I remember a manhwa out there about step brothers I rated pretty solidly, forgot now though ╮(￣▽￣)╭
The meme at the end from the translators
Perfectly summarize how I felt, all the bafflement coursing through my veins right now
All I can do is laugh ...
NILEESSSSSSS
Everything there's a flashback and I see his face I cry
