I know I shouldn't be victim blaming but I'm so over the stupid bottom trope cz like were you not warned by your parents to always be vigilant and smiles and niceties don't always mean good intentions??? You'll think I'm tripping but I swear these creators are so intentional in writing bottoms sharp as marbles. Why do they always trust anyone that shows the slightest interest in them like wft is this even? Why the fuck would he take unlabeled pills even if the guy took them and it had no effect why would you think it wouldn't affect you? Geee maybe he twiked it!!!! These bottoms be grown men with the intelligence of a rock. This type of idiocy is only cute on children.

I always knew Cain wasn't end game because of the flower that represents his love with Jooin which is the sakura/cherry blossom. One thing I'll give the creator of this series is the insane symbolism throughout the series. As an anime fan I always knew sakura basically represents fleeting love, love that ends quickly and also represent life and death. Also I noticed pink haired characters are never end game like snafu and blue box. The flowers themselves have a short life span too and only blossom once a year during spring.The flower in a tragic way represents Jooin and Cain's romance quite well. Their love was vibrant and beautiful but at the same time started to rot and die just as quickly. Their love even within the series started in season 2 and by mid season 3 it had basically come to an end. In hind sight that is short compared to Yahwi and Jooin from chapter one to the very end. Another thing to note is the sakura cannot endure heavy rains. This also represents the part of cainjoo that could not endure the fallout of the love triangle. The fallout just showed how fragile their love always was.
On the other hand Yahwi and Jooins love is represented by the gladiolus flower. It's not a popular flower and is not a spectacle like the sakura and to some people it's plain. This flower is the complete opposite of the sakura. It is a simple flower that represents endurance in life and in love. It can grow almost anywhere in the world unlike the sakura which only thrives in east Asia. It blossoms multiple times of the year as evidenced in the series. Jooin receives these flowers twice in the series, on his birthday(10/10 which is autumn) where he rejects them representing him rejecting Yahwis love and also during his graduation from the t.a which is around February or march in the spring. This time he accepts them meaning by this time he had already acknowledged his love for Yahwi and if it came back he'd accept it. The flower also represents how Jooin and Yahwis love could endure all the trials and tribulations that happened within the series and can thrive anywhere they are in the world evidenced by how Jooin moves to America and is still in love with Yahwi.
I saw a quote that reminded me of this series and it is 'Someone who falls in love with your flowers and not your roots will not know how to handle you in autumn.' I think it best fits Jooin's fickle love for Cain because he only loved the beautiful parts of Cain and never even tried to embrace the parts of him that didn't fit his narrative. When he finds out about the not so shiny part about Cain he quite literally tells him to go back home.

This is refreshing. It's so rare to see bottoms get called out on their bullshit. Fucking with other people when they are into someone else is disgustingly mean and cruel not only to the person they like but the person they don't like. What if that other person was serious about them and here they were just using them as a convenient distraction? What if the person they like is seeing all this and just feeling like they mean absolutely nothing to this person? This series does a good job of creating characters that are very human like and don't pretend shit doesn't hurt them. In so many manhwas it's all about characters egos until the end and pretending to be bad bitches when they're just crude and rude.

I love scummy characters top or bottom I really don't care. The male lead is my cup of tea and the breedable beefcake uke is just so delicious. I hope it gets more twisted as they lie to themselves. What a treat it would be if the plot twist is that nanjo actually just wanted to taste bottomhood but because of his not so stereotypical uke physique he's often just counted out...
I'm seeing people still defend cha as if he wasn't looking at wooju in disgust and hatred in that last panel. Second love enthusiasts can never accept lying and pretending are a thing because it is not to be expected that their beloved is not angelic even when they're weird ass creeps. Bringing up jiheon doesn't negate cha maybe way worse than him. Y'all like deflecting so much. I even saw some say the creator was bullied into changing the story and that's just ridiculous tbh. This was never pushed as love triangle so I know y'all are just coping. Everyone on here was suspecting it and they were completely dismissed cz y'all wanna see his dick and see him fuck wooju well you got your wish now. And if it happens he's gonna be brutal with it so...
