Like I know there's no direct word for hyung in English. Yes they do call older brothers hyung but its also a respectful endearment almost for any older male (if you're a man). Has the same vibe as oppa that girls use for older men. They call older brothers oppa but also their boyfriends, older male friends etc. Bro just sounds so weird XD

I actually dont understand. This isn't criticism toward jooin or author-nim. I'm just a little confused. Yahwi clearly treats him well and better and different than anyone else. That shows jooins special to him to an extent. Yahwi already said he likes him. Their relationship was built on physical chemistry only (at first) so it's understandable yahwi can't say he's in love with him yet and we know he has some trauma with love.
I get in the beginning why jooin was mad with the money and everything. That's disrespectful, yes. But Yahwi learned from that. With the friend thing (when jooin tried to say shit to the friend group and yahwi told him to stop), I understand why Jooin was pissed but I think Yahwi just didn't want him to make things harder for himself and have people continue talking shit about him. Not everyone is confrontational and Yahwi isn't the type to make a fuss about things that seem troublesome. I don't get what Jooin wants.
Also don't get me wrong. I actually really support team Cain haha I don't know who I want to be endgame (we already know who it is tho).

jooin's got like a puppy-love thing for yahwi, i think. he reaaaally wanted a wholesome sort of relationship w him but yahwi isn't capable of that, so far yet into the story. and as for who's gonna be endgame,,, i rlly fucken hope it's cain bc yahwi is so problematic but i can smell a redemption arc coming, too...so idk....lol..;-;

I uhh think it's because As you've said yawhi doesn't want people talking shit about him, I mean who wants people hearing shits bout them, And clearly join was being talked about, And since yawhi was the cause of this having a contract of staying people away from him and then now Join looks like a gay guy that clings to yawhi, And well clearly thats talking shit abou join
Didn't get me? Same, This is my specific opinion
Join wants Yawhi to tell the others everything there relationship and not get judge by people, Join also wants to get the full feelings of yawhi, If yawhi really loves join, He would tell everyone about his feelings to join and well yawhi won't care about his image being seen as "gay"
Well atleast that's what I think So If I pulled a nerve Im sorry about that

Never said he was a great guy. I was confused what Jooin wanted from him. Clearly getting raped didn't bother Jooin since he continued to have sex with Yahwi. I'm getting he just wants Yahwi to truly like him. So simple but my 22 years of being single and living through yaoi makes me kinda slow when it comes to love stuff haha

Imma be honest I forgot a lot and I'm not understanding the translation 100% AND I may have skimmed some so I don't understand what the brother did wrong

The emperor did rape him and do a lot of cruel things, but I feel like the brother raping the protagonist was worse because it was such a betrayal. It's like realizing that the only person in your family who loved you only did it because they wanted to have sex with you. That's what I think anyways, plus so far it doesn't seem like the brother has changed his ways and at least this current emperor is trying to do better ┗( T﹏T )┛

Probably because he was in love with the emperor before the rape happened. It was like he liked the emperor but was traumatised by the brother and the emperor misunderstood that he prefer the brother and raped him. It's a fucking mess. He hated the emperor because of the hurt and more to what the emperor did to other people but he hated the brother more because eauwwwww..... that's his brother raping him(not once) and it came from someone who should've protect him.

No the brother was legitimately told not to go there and the last life and he made shit worse because he kept saying that happened over and over again and the other guy couldn’t do anything about it because he was too scared because of what had been done to him and it’s basically the brothers fault because he did not want to go the fuck away because he’s an obsessed motherfucker worse than even if the king didn’t really bad stuff if the brother had kept in the world it done worse stuff Because this motherfucker is actually delusional
Daiki's fucking annoying but he did confess. He said "my love can be brutal" so that's his own way of saying I love you. We can't hate him too much, he's not a man of squishy words and we knew that. At least we're getting fucking somewhere after that "it's not love you just like the sex" bullshit so ya I'm satisfied
