Honestly? There was zero reason to hide it from him, you could literally just tell him exactly that you absentmindedly said yes to being set up on a blind date and you gotta go yourself to clear it up, he knows you enough to know that’s just an honest mistake but now you’re just hiding from him that you were on a blind date ToT

Idk man with the consequence rate for yaois, I'm not gonna condemn him for it but he didnt have to lie that hard like he coulda said a friend wanted to have dinner and chat avout a show they are both really into. They technically kinda became friends after that. It's a blind date so 9/10 times neither one had feelings for the other from the start so the girl wasn't going homen disappointed much when she was so understanding and turned around the flow of the convo to just friendly

Ok loved how J spoke up in the alley but bro you did NOt have to do that in the school corridor, went lower than Rik, you'd already said all you needed to in the alley, you shouldve left it behind and moved on instead of tryna hurt him back worse
But also for his consciousness level it's wild that after this his thought process is, "oh ye dad was right and he's the one on my side" instead of blaming his dad even more cause him pushing them apart and treating Rik like that was to blame for all this, like it's understandable to not forgive Rik for what he did to him but he wasn't that stupid to be unaware of the root problems and genuinely think his dad is acting anything like real family or that he has his back, like he's not a toddler that follows anyone that gives candy, he's mature enough to understand the root problems so this thought process feels unrealistic

His thought process isn’t unrealistic when he’s finally getting his father’s approval that he always wanted -> his best friend starts bullying and belittling his issues yet still wanted to be family-> goes home his father knows abt the bully, makes a jab at Rik’s family that makes Jinhyeong think abt how Rik’s father beats him = him getting bullied then his father tells him he’ll always be there for him. He was already extremely emotional from what happened between him and Rik goes home, gets comforted that obviously would mess with his thought process even more

His hair turned fluffy and he turned into hosik lmao
But bro the first half of the comic was impossible to read, really the worst brand of tops to me are jealously possessive and rough tops when they have ZERO right to be jealous cuase bottom doesn't owe them anything, like bro he's been working with you for a week max and all you're thinking is feeling jealous over his hickeys as if he's your bf when he's nothing to you and you act like an ass about his and joons relationship and are all jealous but also you fo on fucking both him and therapist back and forth???? And he's a rough ass to the bottom both as an assistant and as therapist, bro the way he's treating the therapist as if therapist owes him shit and as if hes not literally sacrificing his body for YOUR medical problem treatment, the least you could do is be nice and instead he's acting like HES doing the therapist any favors and as if therapist is some "cheap prostitute' to him or something
And then he acts nicer when he realizes assistant IS the therapist and that he has feelings for him and now he's acting even nicer when he realizes he's fuzzball, but bro those mena nothing to me cause it spoke more of his character how he treated mc when he was no one to him and he harassed his assistant at work left and right and was rough with therapist,,,,,
But anyway the back and forth between them also feels kinda artificial cuase wdym they have this emotional moment of the top also realizing he's fuzzball and they both hold their past connection dear and it's important to mc but then next morning he wakes up and he's detached again like "but this doesn't mean I'll ever date you bye" and now hes again acting like sex is only part of the contract therapy and they're nothing to each other,,,, bro I'm getting whiplash here how much can this story go back and forth, he was acring like a jealous wife when during housewarming party game ml said he's more comfortable with betas etc and he's having all these fluttery feelings bur then nothing
But anyway I love the little brother so much, it's funny ag how he magically pops up literally whenever Joon is on screen, but also is he the topppppp?!?!?? OMEGA TOPPPP?!?!!!!?! honestly can't decide which combo I like more, him being clearly the bigger more muscular one but being the bottom or being an omega top, either way luv, but also does HE remember fuzzball and does HE know mc is him???
Also don't tell me mc is pregnant now....

Oh I couldn't agree more, but to me I find it hilarious that he's being jealous of the hickeys because he's technically being jealous of himself, but of course since this is a perspective from the readers and not the character. And his reaction upon this realisation (that he's the one who gave the hickeys) is the cherry on top LMFAOOOOOOOO

I thought the same !! It was funny, but his negative jealousy wasn't. I guess it was also him being judgemental of dobin? Since they're in a professional setting but dobin is "showing off hickeys". They were strangers and no more than colleagues at that time, and people tend to be judgemental of strangers

Ok so his idea of being family together was never about growing and being happy together but about tearing him down and being miserable together,,, from the start he never considered J's pain as real but as just some light shit a rich kid complains about while only his pain is real, like if you really thought that from the start, if toi didn't see you both being equals and only thought "he's a privileged kid crying over nothing" then why did you cling to him as friends? And you yourselves set up the plan that J would start going along with everything his dad says and pretend to be the good son to have an easier time at home till he can leave it behind and go once he's an adult bit then suddenly you're annoyed he acts like his dad wanted and you risk your long term plan by showing up at his house, and then orchestrate this bullying crap? At this point WHY should he choose you when you're worse than his dad? At least he has to deal with dad cause he's dependent on him as a child and can't run away, what reason does he have to be with you when you're like that? When you're doing it out of malice weaponizing against him everything he shared with you as a friend,

Right, like dude high schoolers aren't toddlers, they're very much capable of conscious malice, I get it he's had it rough but let's not act like he's innocent, he knew exactly what he was doing to Jinyeong, he was doing it BECAUSE he knew how much it would hurt him, that's literally the whole point, he's doing it to cause him damage, and this wasn't even his dads abuse vs J's dads abuse, he was lashing out about his treatment at school by higher classes BUT HES DOING IT TO THE PERSON WHO WAS ON HIS SIDE FROM DAY ONE, and you're right he couldn't even deal with J's dad from one moment meeting, so how does he imagine he treats J that has to deal with him all the time? The man literally broke your laptop gave it back to J to give back to you and told him to cut ties,,, social norms didn't stop him from breaking something that doesn't belong to him so how do you think he treats his son as his property?? Is he mad that J didn't publicly defend him at school or something? He hung out with him publicly till J's dad made them break up so he had to stay friends only secretly, he wants j to realize the pain he goes through?? He gets it, cause he empathized with you from the start, he didn't need to have a worse time to side with you, he didn't need toi to hurt him to side with you, you were the one that felt no empathy for him from the start and saw him as some rich kid with no real problems just cause "they weren't on your level of problems", if you didn't feel like you related then why did you start a friendship with him from the start instead of pushing him away cause you don't think your problems are the same??? From the start there was no empathy from him for J and then to turn around and use what J confided in him to hurt him? That's LOW

That is not true. In the first place before Jinhyung (idk how to spell…) said that his “real family” is his dad, Rik actually wanted to EARN MONEY ON HIS OWN to afford college bills FOR JINHYUNG. He saw Jinhyung as an equal before. The reason why he turned 180 is because he saw that their affection is not the same. “The 50,000 won Jinhyung spend on Rik was never the same as Rik spending 50,000 won on Jinhyung”. He believes that his affection to Jinhyung is earnest and desperate meanwhile Jinhyung was just playing. He feels that it’s unfair that in the end of the day he will be the only one fool getting too deep into this “play”. That’s why rn he’s trying to hurt Jinhyung. He didn’t sincerely want to downgrade Jinhyung before, so stop making it look like he’s some kinda villian or smth (not validating his actions though)

That's the thing tho he thinks J has to be desperate with no other options left for his affection to be real which isn't true, and even that is rooted in him believing J just doesn't have it all that bad in his own circumstances, that he's not desperate and not treating Rik as his only true friend,
If he thought the friendship sincerity wouldn't be the same he could've just not started the friendship from the start, it literally started from sharing their circumstances so it's not like he found that out later,,, either way that's a resentment he carried from the start no matter how willing he was to fantasize about that future being together if it was this easy to have a 180 and go this low to hurt him
He hurt him to say "see this is what I go through so you gotta go through it to feel what I feel" except J KNOWS how it feels cause that's what J goes through at home, but Rik thinks it somehow only affects him what he goes through at school but somehow doesn't affect J what he goes through at home?
and J didn't say he'd choose parents over him, only thought about the possibility of having both, Rik is conscious about it all enough to realize J having a change of mind was only about him still having hope that maybe his parents would change and treat him well just cause he had a little taste of them treating him well, he knows this cuase be felt the same before but he himself already came to the realization that hoping for that is useless, he COULD try talking to J and making him realize the temporary well treatment isn't real and they're only like that cause he's moulded himself to go along with their expectations and the "him" they like and are treating well isn't actually HIM, that he shouldn't start raising his expectations from the parents cause this is temporary and the only reason he started acting like their dream child was to have a temporary shield till he's adult and can get away, that their well treatment is never to his true self, instead he took it personally as another betrayal like his mom and decided to hurt him back, let alone with the same shit J told him his father hurts him with, that's deeply malicious
I'm not saying he was an evil mastermind from the start, but he wasn't exactly rainbows and sunshines sincere either if hes capable to go this low JUST CAUSE J said he'd like to have both family and him if he can, he collected everything he's mad about about everyone else and threw it at J, he had choices to make and he chose this

"I'm not saying he was an evil mastermind from the start" Okay, stop right there. I don't know why you're trying to explain that his actions are wrong when the argument was about you actually saying that Rik did wrong from the start.
"his idea of being family together WAS NEVER about growing", "FROM THE START he never considered J's pain as real" those are your quotes
He wasn't doing nothing wrong from the start. And this whole "family" charade was started by J. Just for him to say in the end that his dad is his real family. Throwing aside everything they have planned together.
I'm not validating any of Rik's actions, because in the end of the day he did bad. And he could've done better. But saying that he was like that from the start just invalidates his whole character and dilemma.
If you didn't mean that you should've chose your words carefully

Bro I'm saying he wasn't malicious from he start but he did carry resentment of their class difference and his inferiority complex, he wasn't tryna fuck him over from the beginning but he didn't see J's problems as worth complaining about and thought he's the only one with real problems, are we reading the same thing cause even ch 61 is saying exactly what I'm saying

HONESTLY??? IM GLAD TJE BUILDUP OF THE STORY OF A CHASING TOP WASNT RUINED WITH SELFISH PAINFUL SEX OR SMTH, bro so many times the buildup is ruined by a top acting selfish chasing his own orgasm cuase he feels like he has to be rewarded for waiting and chasing after the bottom for a long time and I'm glad it's not the case here, he's as gentle and loving as he's been throughout the years chasing, also love how asha enjoys it and he's the one asking for another round like AAAAAA

From how much I’ve seen this recommended, it wasn’t very extraordinary ToT it was cute enough but also i literally don’t know how how baseball works so the game talk was meaningless to me, and the rest was mild and then what was with the sex scenes save meeeee, no lube no condom no prep no foreplay norhinnngnggngngng????? NOTHINGGGG?? And the end extremely underwhelming ToT
Whys dunno still thirsting for his uncle/cousin help meeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
