Wth was with the rapist childhood bff and why did it end wirh him acting like the victim and being forgiven and comforted like HUH? How does that even fit into the plot about the couple? Why does he even get forgiven? WHYS HE BEING BABIED AFTER
I was hoping ML would punch his face in, and since he has more sex experience and perspective he’d make MC see that what the bff did wasn’t ok in childhood and isn’t ok now and MC would cut ties with bff and learn how to protect himself
I MEAN COME ON HE RAPED HIM AS CHILDREN (doesn’t matter if they both were children, he clearly knew he shouldn’t be doing that) and now BUGGED HIS APARTMENT AND NEARLY RAPED HIM AGAIN and mc is crying trembling then turns around with “I could never hate you” BISH YOU SHOULD, like what the hell was that plot line for if not for the naive guy to learn to not brush assault under the rug like it’s no big deal and to forgive like it’s a silly little oopsie HUUUH??
Ok it was good throughout but like miki was a bit too naive about wataru, like how do you not realize wataru knows you’d do anything he asks and he exploits that?? And isn’t it suspicious he suddenly became interested after he found out ikkei is close to you and spent the night??
Like you’ve been friends for yearsss and he hasn’t come over with bad excuses and is too busy for you but suddenly he has time? He literally treats him like a dog like ikkei says, and then behind his back discusses him being gay with the two other asshole friends of his instead of immediately shutting them down and defending miki from their shit talking???
I mean come on, the moment wataru confesses and says he always knew you liked him with the “we can be together like you always wanted” my feelings would drop to zero, knowing all along and neither dating him nor bringing it up to cleanly reject him and let him move on but instead pulling him around with hope and keeping friends around that would go as far as to beat him up??? Fuck right off we’re not even gonna be friends anymore wth
Like wataru came out of this as a good guy when he’s not, and it got resolved too easy
And it jumped into sex from confession so fast I got whiplash lmao
It kinda feels off cause it just leads you into a direction where you theorize and then turns into the opposite direction making it feel like you’re stupid for following where the plot leads you?! The top saying he loves him that early didn’t feel insincere but still felt too early, and the issue of mistrust could’ve been discussed way earlier, cause like ok you cleared it up that the bff was never your lover but just unrequited love but after that you still acted like you were hung up on him, and then the bff appeared at the house and totally gave “possessive in not a bff way” vibes and not entirely “just looking out for my bff and making sure his boyfriend is good” vibes, and sosuke knew kippei fears not being enough for him, it was clear it came from feeling inadequate and unworthy and not from mistrust so when sosuke confessed why wouldn’t you just ask “why don’t you believe me” and have the insecurity talk, like you spilled a whole sex addiction problem on him and he deals with it so why wouldn’t you open up the inferiority complex talk and help him too instead of jumping to “you don’t trust me so goodbye” when you claim you love him too now??
and why would kippei the next day jump to the conclusion that sosuke would be WITH the bff when it was clearly established without a doubt that they were never together and by that time sosukes feelings for him were also faded away like it just comes outta nowhere, the other stuff you could say ok the character could reasonably act that way but him actually accusing him of being with bff is just bad writing and smth he wouldn’t say IDK MAN IDK
I want more of this FAST but also I don’t even know which direction I want this to gooo, do I want jinhyeong realizing he’s in love and giving into the relationship for real and scrapping the plans to leave? And in that case do I want him to keep his initial bad motives a secret or to confess to uyun??? Do I want uyun to accept him immediately??? Do I want jinhyeong to decide to leave after all and only then realize his feelings?? IDK BUT IM TERRIFIED OF THE DRAMA CAUSE LIKE BOI WAKE UP AN ANGEL FELL INTO YOUR LAP THAT ACCEPTS AND LOVES YOUR ENTIRE WEIRD SELF WDYM “PUNISH HIM FOR FALLING FOR YOUR PUBLIC MASK FIRST” THATS HOW ALL RELATIONSHIPS ARE, EVERYONE HAS PUBLIC MASKS AND EVERYONE INITIALLY GETS INTERESTED IN SOMEONES MASK AND ‘DECIDES IF THEY WANT TO GET TO KNOW THE FULL SINCERE SELF FROM THERE THATS LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENS WHY WOULD YOU PUNISH UYUN FOR THAT, also ye AHA you have a Beaty and the best library worth of gay smut you bought that arouses you and you care for uyun BUT SURE AHA YOURE TOTALLY A GENIUS PUPPETMASTER HERE AND NOT AN IDIOT IN LOVE IN DENIAL
I MEAN COME ON BRO IS PUTTING CARPETS FOR YOUR SAFETY FOR YOUR POSSESSED MODE INSTEAD OF MOCKING YOU OR TELLING TOU TO STOP, AND IS ALWAYS READY TO JUMP INTO RANDOM ROLEPLAY MODE, AND GENUINELY CONSIDERS EVERY WHIM AND REQUEST INSTEAD OF DISMISSING BY DEFAULT, WHO WOULDNT DREAM OF A PARTNER LIKE UYUN THAT SEES AND LOVES ALL YOUR WEIRDNESS INSTEAD OF TELLING YOU TO BEHAVW AND GROW UP ILL SOB BYE
Took a while to get dramatic but it was delicious when it got there, ESPECIALLY SECOND COUPLE LIKE AAA chapter 81 my love, also sangjae really lost a friend because of a backstabbing other friend and then got caught in an unrequited love triangle WHEN WILL LUCK BE ON HIS SIDE I WANT HIS HAPPY ENDING TOO POOR DUDE DESERVES SOMETHINGGGG
Ok first couple was cute and funny, took li chuan way too long to realize he loves him considering he’s been consistently drawing either art of cheng or ship art of both of them LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME, WDYM “WED HAVE TO STOP BEING FRIENDS IF YOU WERE TO SAY YOU LIKED ME” STOOPID, but second couple;s love is MY SH*T im obsessed with mutually dedicated couples but like ARE YOU KIDDING, I SAT THROUGH AN ENTIRE 80 CHAPTERS TO HAVE NOT A SINGLE DROP OF A RELATIONSHIP AFTER THE GETTING TOGETHER PHASE?/??? YOURE GONNA END THE SECOND COUPLE’S STORY WITH GHEM JUST METING UP 3 YEARS LATER???? IM GONNA FIGHT ZEUS WHAT IS THIS
Ch 4 WHY DOES HE HAVE TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF AT ALL TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR HER TO MOVE ON FROM HIM, LIKE BISH HE REJECTED HER, HE SAID NO IM NOT DATING YOU, AND HE SAID HE HAS A GF, THATS FULL REASON TO LET IT GO AND MOVE ON, WHY ARE YOU IN HIS FACE FORCING HIM TO COME OUT TO YOU AND THEN THAT GIRLIE JUST TO “MAKE IT EASY FOR HER TO REALIZE ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN” GTFOH
Okay kanade being his advocate and standing up to the mom for him and dragging him away, holy sheet I loved that scene so much
Also from the extras getting the couple discount made me so gigglyyy
No. For real that made me so mad. He said no and that should be enough of a reason for them (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ he owes them nothing!
Bro I’m rereading and got pissed at the coworker again, I’ve read a BUNCH of comics and she’s probably in my top 5 most hated characters list
Oh my god, yes, I get pissed at that character every time I reread this. Also, I don't know where she got the audacity to tell him that he 'only focuses on his own misfortunes' (or something along the lines of that) Like bro, of course does, he's the one having to live through HIS misfortunes, why the heck wouldn't he be focused on them???? He doesn't owe anyone an explanation for why he rejected her friend, whether or not he had a gf. Also, is it not embarrassing for her to 'call out his lie' abt having a gf, because all that means is that her friend isn't the type to respect his boundaries and accept rejection.
Ye him saying no was enough of a reason to let go and take the rejection, having a gf or not, being gay or not doesn’t matter,
AND YE ITS HELLA EMBARRASSING FOR HER TO CALL OUT HIS LIE OF NOT HAVING A GF, not only does he not owe her that info, but like imagine if he wasn’t gay, if i was him I’d straight up say “ok ye I don’t have a gf I said it so rejection would feel a little less embarrassing for you but since you’re pushing it let me straight up say no I’m not interested in your annoying ass SINCE YOU CANT TAKE A NO WITH GRACE”
And the audacity to make him not giving an explanation (when he doesn’t owe one) and not coming out(he doesn’t owe it either) as if he’s being selfish while the girlie is making her issues everyone else’s problem LIKE BOOHOO YOU WENT TO AN ALL GIRLS SCHOOL AND ARE SHY OF MEN AND HE MADE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE, WHOSE PROBLEM IS THAT AND WHY DOES IT MEAN HE HAS TO COME OUT TO YOU IN A HOMOPHOBIC SOCIETY (which you’re too selfish to think of the consequences about) TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER, even when he came out to her on the bench, saying he already likes someone AND that it’s a man, she STILL goes all up into his face asking again to confirm “so I have no chance rightttt” YOU DIDNT HAVE A CHANCE EITHER WAY, HIM SAYING NO WASNT AN INVITATION TO TRY AGAIN, IT WASNT A “WAIT TILL IM SINGLE THEN YOULL HAVE A CHANCE” WHATS WRONG WITH YOU LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAA
Literally, and it's the fact that there are ppl like this irl.
For context, I went to an all girls school where most students were homophobic, but there was still a small number of LGBTQ+ students like myself. (We were all closeted tho, except for me and a couple of my friends.) There was also an all boys school opposite of ours, but I'm not too sure about their number of queer students, I do know they were also mainly homophobic. There have been a couple instances of gay friends of mine being asked out by boys from the other school, and instead of accepting the rejection, they would always have the mindset of 'I could turn her straight' and wouldn't give up unless she outwardly said she was dating someone. Like bro, bffr. Even if she was straight, she wouldn't date your ugly ass. The worst part is that they *think* they're being all open minded and accepting, just because they've acknowledged that my friends were gay, but in actuality, didn't actually respect that. Like MC's coworker, they basically just boiled it down to some weird thing that they could fetishise.
(Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, it's currently like 6:50am rn and my head hurts like hell)
Ye makes perfect sense, you brought a perfect example of the level of annoying audacity and delusion of straight men that think they could “turn” lesbians, coworker character isn’t tryna turn him but ABSOLUTELY has the same level of annoying audacity and delusion
I agree I thought his coworker was really weird for trying to put all the responsibility of the other girls emotional processing onto him. He was right in the first place, people get rejected all the time
