I just realized that Chapter 9 was cut, and all this time, I didn’t know she also worked at a motel. At the end of Chapter 9, there’s a scene where Taeha pays for all the motel rooms just so Haesoo can go home early and rest. I can’t believe I only found out about this today. For anyone interested, here’s the link:

Thank uu for telling us!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
WHATTT
You're an angel
Woahh that chapter got cut a lot, like half of chapter
For those who didn’t notice, Taeha confirmed that he’s serious about Haesoo.
Let’s compare Mincheol’s scene in Chapter 7 to Taeha’s scene in Chapter 31.
In Chapter 7, Mincheol wanted to take Ari home (she was drunk). However, midway, she confessed that she had feelings for him, and they ended up going to a motel and sleeping together. In Taeha’s case, something similar happened: Haesoo kissed him and confessed that, when she was with him, she couldn’t think straight (which already confirms that even if it’s not love, she feels a strong attraction). If Taeha wasn’t serious about her or was the type of person who wanted to take advantage of Haesoo’s vulnerability, he could have slept with her that night, knowing she wouldn’t be upset about it.
We can see this in the moment she wakes up—she checks if she’s still wearing underwear to see if they slept together, but she doesn’t look scared or upset. She seems more embarrassed than anything else.
Given that, Taeha used the movie reference to explain himself. Many people, after drinking, end up having a one-night stand just because, but he didn’t want that. He wants something serious with her, so he doesn’t want to ruin the small bit of good reputation he’s managed to build to be with her.
Because of Chapter 36, we now have a clearer idea that Taeha, despite seeming like someone experienced in everything, is actually having all of his “firsts” with Haesoo. That’s why their beginning is a bit chaotic on both sides: Haesoo has gone through so much in just a month (maybe two months), and in Taeha’s case, someone who lived his life without loving or being loved is, for the first time, noticing that what he feels for Haesoo is different from what he’s felt for anyone else he’s met so far.
For someone like Taeha, who grew up with all the money in the world but completely neglected by his family, we can see that he’s exploring this emotional territory (affection) for the first time. Honestly, I’m just happy that Taeha’s perception of affection is on the right track.
What usually happens with people like him is that they tend to express love through brute force (or just being toxic). However, the fact that Taeha saw that scene in the movie when he was younger made it possible for him to build a different understanding of what love could be (which is definitely not being forceful or promiscuous in situations where your “special one” is at their worst).
Love this analysis, it makes so much sense
i 100% agree with this. love the analysis so much

Ross will find both Gren and Shin.
Ross shots Gren.
Shin calls Jake for help.
Jake helps Shin and Gren run away.
Gren dies because it's too late.
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
Oh this is not how i wanna start 2025
Well... I guess that answers my worried questions of Gren's future as a character, feels like that's his best outcome for the story too
Good. I hate this "kid"
I see people mentioning something about a break-up and time skip in the comments. I didn’t quite understand what they meant. Supposedly, this manhwa is up-to-date until chapter 149. The author made a post stating that, due to personal reasons, they’ll have to go on hiatus again and plan to return in 2025, but no specific date has been announced.
For those interested in the latest chapter (149), the protagonists are still in a relationship, but Ki-yu has started to regain his passion for the stage. I think that Ki-yu, despite all the trauma he experienced at work, deep down loved what he did. It’s likely that the upcoming chapters (when they return) will begin to explore this contradiction between wanting to return to the stage and the mistreatment he endured.
thank you sm for this, I was so confused when the com sec started saying time skip
Guys calm down.
The author is working on season 2.
Here is an official sketch from the author:

This is the best news of the year
DO WE KNOW WHEN ITS COMING BACK
The author didn’t mention any dates, but I assume it’s close because, until now, they hadn’t said anything, and suddenly they started making posts about Season 2. Even the company the author work for gave the permission to post a spoiler (which is the sketch I post it above).
TYY
Guys, I saw a post from the author that seems to show parts of an official artwork. I don't know if this is a sign that the next season is near, but I really hope so because I'm dying!
Wat?! When?? Where?!
where?? Twitter? What sns? If you could give us the link, that would be very nice
That did nothing to my longing for Andy and Luke, it only worsen it. Indeed a sneak peek.
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO???????????????????????????
Will the new season come after 6 months? (around November 4th)
Or it will be a year?
My bet half a year. I guess author wants to keep up the attention this is getting. I think we may go over half a year but we won’t wait a year.
Came here for a dare.
My honest review: it was disgusting but I mean, it could be worse. I feel like it's not even the worst manga I've read and I don't even remember the worst ones for some reason.
lmaooo was that dare from my post "I Dare You To Read-" on Things??
Updates:
In chapter 130, the third season comes to an end. The author announced that the fourth season will be published later this year (2025), but no specific date has been revealed.
The first hiatus (between the first and second seasons) lasted 5 months.
The second hiatus (between the second and third seasons) lasted 9 months.
Therefore, it is difficult to predict how long it will last. It is unlikely that the fourth season will be released before the end of summer. Most likely at the end of the year.
