Idk if he fall for Hayden but you can clearly see the way he look at Hayden is completely change now. It’s just feel more relaxing and trusting? Our boy started warming up (≧∀≦)
You know Brett act like he doesn’t mind whenever Hayden care for him or not. But he words is very opposite.
“At least suck my tongue so it hurt less” He into rough sex anyway why he want Hayden care if he hurt or not.
“It’s feel weird when you care about me” he clearly being sarcastic here.
And in future chapter, he laughed like crazy when Hayden stop immediately after he said the safe word. Also change his attitude toward Hayden because he know Hayden definitely care for him.
And the word he said: “You never respond to my messages or go see me first”
“You know, I always the one who come to you tho” like if this not the most sarcastic and sulky, idk what is it.
And the toilet sex scene, Brett trust Hayden with his own safety, suddenly fall back like that as a joke. Because he know Hayden is fucking worried about him well being now.
Bro, Brett clearly want Hayden to care for him, You can’t hide from me.
Some may not like it because it show how cold Hayden and Brett relationship really are, but for me. I love some slowburn romance. And their distance in this chapter feel realistic since their just get to know eachother.
I think Brett stop contact Hayden for month not only for his football season but also to give him and Hayden time to rethink this relationship.
Do their want to be that serious or better just meet each when Hayden’s rut come for their own need?
Brett clearly drawing the line here to see Hayden’s opinion. Since Hayden is shy awkward insecure boy, he just backoff immediately when he see Brett’s cold behavior.
Their have long way to make this relationship work.
Actually more cold and distance than i imagine when i re-read it in EN version. Like we see their fool around and have sex, and Brett seem care about Hayden alot but he can casually stop contact Hayden for month (and go on). The same with Hayden, he not even respond to Brett’s messages or even tried to go see Brett first until the one time in ch.17.
That how their relationship actually are, just for rut and sex. When Brett done “paying” Hayden for satisfied him, he can just ignore him until Hayden’s rut came. Hayden can’t really do anything for their relationship (for now i guess), he did come to see Brett in next chapter just to get disappointed by himself and tried to spend his rut alone. Let be real here, Brett completely take the lead and is the one have more control in this relationship if he got bored of Hayden this relationship is done.
I love Hayden but i do wish he have more control in their relationship. I hope the ending of ss1 is starting point.
I honestly hope Hayden’s imprint near the end of season 1 will give him some sort of edge and not a weakness but we’ll have to seeeee
Me too, some korean fan believe Hayden gonna runaway from Brett because Brett indifferent hurt his feeling or something. I hope not. I want Hayden character growth
God I hope not I believe the author won’t do smtn that straight forward seeing how they write, but again, the only thing we can do is hope. I rlly want to see a role reversal in their relationship though where Brett is the more invested one and Hayden gets more detached. There’s just too many factors at play: traumas, bg stories, hell even Brett’s rut we haven’t seen (Unless I missed some mention of it) I need a million chapters of this asap author plz come back
Hayden imprints this is a development i think will move the plot along deliciously
Why there no update yet …i mean the new chapter kinda boring because Brett is not appear but still i want to see everyone opinion about it. Both about side couple vs Hayden and Christine conversation
The more we read, Brett become more contradictory. He sometimes acting like he want something more with Hayden but also don’t want more than what they are now. So is Hard to tell he genuine have any feeling for Hayden or just playing around.
We can only guessing from information we do know about him. Brett came from rich family and his social skill is super good. He always have that fake friendly smile to anyone who interact with him. The relationship he have with other people pretty fake and distance
The three people he seem genuine close with is Martin, his best friend who “hating” him, his Brother who also feel uncomfortable with him, and you know, Hayden. So i have theory, maybe Brett love violent hardcore sex because it feel real to him? It’s not the faking like how people around him acting, but it raw and real. That why is exciting him and he addicting to it.
And that why the way Hayden behave gentlely and loving is weird him out. That not what he sign up with Hayden.
Brett seem to be a type who can’t understand genuine love. He seem to be more comfortable with people who hate or have bad feelings for him than with who acting friendly to him?
if someone loves you or likes you with his type of influence, you're always second-guessing someone's real intentions
Yeah, i really dying for ss2. The author said there will be a childhood scene of them ugh i want to know what happen make them become who they are now
i think brett thinks of it as an equal exchange like oh i'm getting something out of this, i'll pay you back in full with what i'm capable of (ie. getting hayden into an environment where he can make connections). he also genuinely enjoys hanging out with hayden. you could argue that he has feelings he's unaware of, but for brett at least it's as simple as "oh i'm having a good time, this is working out, i'm enjoying it while it lasts and i'll make sure you're having a good time too." in that way he's very "fair" but it's hard to tell if his emotions can go deeper to love
Yeah you are right, but i just want to discuss why Brett seem too more attracted to people who behave like they hating him. Because hate seem more clear for him than love.
Yeah for Brett, everything is fair and game so it hard to have a “ beautiful selfless love” like Hayden want. But maybe the event of the end of ss1 will change thing.
Thats a good theory. he’s surrounded by fake behavior so he’s interested in real instinctual behaviors. I would also say him being surrounded by liars and fakes is a good explanation for why he is approaching this relationship as transactional. He’s a bored rich boy who’s seen a lot of bad behavior and accepted it- so his morals are skewed. His belief structure is about finding mutual pleasure and excitement, and his manipulative tendencies come from living in a world where playing games is mandatory- particularly if you want to draw out real emotions from others. Not surprisingly he is drawn to his opposite who is a serious, romantic and controlled. While he is frivolous, realistic and flexible.
I would add being manipulative is probably a survival mechanism- but that could be me making excuses for him because i brett.
Let talk about Hayden a bit, yeah he is brutal in bed but he also idealist romantic, what he want is a stable relationship, a pure beautiful love like his favorite drama stage, which will be hard to find in someone like Brett, who seem too careless and live just to satisfy himself. I’m not saying Brett not capable of love, but those cheesy feelings seem out of question for him, he want everything fair and game, so no one is dissatisfied, and yet Hayden not happy with that. They are opposites in everything but like magnets, they are attracted to each other and cannot be separated.
The safe word is the limit of he and Brett but can also mean the start for more serious relationship like the director said
There’s always room for more character development ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I just know that their relationship just gonna get stronger and stronger from now on
Rare vanilla moment of them. I doubt their gonna have more in future since Brett don’t like vanilla at all lol. Anyway, i like that Hayden said he have no right to be mad but he still showing how much he hate it anyway, Hayden so adorable in this chapter. Brett is Hayden’s first and also the reason for his first wine <3
The way he talk about Martin and Hayden is full of jealousy so I wonder if Brett and Nathan was close before and Nathan being a big jerk that make Brett hate him. Like if you read the end of ss1 there are moments Brett and Nathan look at eachother awkwardly, if their just hate each other I doubt their react like that….if their use to be closer like i theory…then the ending is more sad and traumatized
Of all the times he did it with Brett, the most memorable moment for him was when Brett teasing and gave him a blowjob. Hayden really know what he into (in future chapter is more clear lol) couldn’t blame him, Brett really sexy while doing it.
