I feel ML is kinda manipulative and calculative. For what does the one month of being together have to do with knowing the reason why MC moved away quietly?? To know MC has feelings for him?? When it is very obvious from the start?! People here keep saying “I don’t like MC.” Because you can see him getting hurt by whatever is happening?? Yo! MC is also human! Deym! He already moved away quietly so he can forget his feelings and accept everything! But what does that crazy a$$h0le ML doing there?? Why don’t he just move on too with his soon to be wife and leave MC alone?? Can y’all see the bigger picture here? Give MC some leniency will ya? Ahhh fck! I’m gon read the novel! ヽ(`Д´)ノ
Novel does not have English translation. I’m reading it via MTL. Here’s the link.

Well tbh sometimes ppl can't just suddenly cutoff like that. ML also unlikeable since he is manipulative maybe. Cuz it obvious that mc show his feeling even tho he didn't say it directly but it was very obvious even his brother notice it. Or maybe he just airhead? Why i dislike mc? Cuz mc act like his crush is his boyfriend that suddenly want to married when they're just friend. And he act childish even himself admitted it. Yeah he just human.. But it didn't potrayed him better than ML, what if ML didn't manipulate and rlly want to know why mc avoid him? Since they spend time long time and he thought mc straight since he date woman before? and he feel mc his brother like brotherzone?. It just my opinion btw. Well i respect ur opinion as well.
I would be pretty much get shookt too if my crush suddenly get married after many years of not being in a relationship. Like they skipped that relationship part and decided to get married instead. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ MC felt betrayed. Well obviously coz they’re friends and for the longest time they’ve been together, ML didn’t even bother to tell him if he’s in a relationship or not. Since that’s the case, why would MC bother telling him he’s gonna go moved on faraway from him and cutoff all communications. Anyway I’m reading the novel now. It has 10 long chapters only. Lol
From what little I've read from the novel, that was not the sense I got. MC found out his feelings for his friend in the day of the marriage drop. He had always known he's gay over the course of time growing up, he felt some kind of arousal but didn't know it was for Jae-Yi specifically. Anyways, be tried to put some distance after he found out but for whaeve reason the friend "feels the need to come after him". But the friend is straight as a bullet. So..
Why do you think he’s a red flag? Did he hurt MC? No. He may be red flag to everyone but he’s still a green flag to MC. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
because what makes you think he won't eventually hurt mc if we know that he is very capable of violence? anger issues and violence are rarely under such control and rarely ever exclude intimate partners. in fact they often ends up being worse to intimate partners. if mc makes a mistake, it could cost him his own fingers or worse...
Okay here’s a summary of what I think this story is about. Jitae and his step brother both have same dad. Step mom is currently managing their big company probably because the dad died earlier and gramps let step mom manage it until Jitae the legitimate heir take the rights. Step Mom probably paid Mieum dad to kidnap Jitae. MC dad maybe is their family driver or an employee working for ML’s family before everything went downhill. Maybe MC dad caused the death of ML parents?? That’s why MC said “maybe you are also hurting when you look at me” to ML. Anyway MC dad kidnapped ML but he was wearing Go Hajoon’s name plate. Probably to trick the kidnapper that he wasn’t Jitae. When kidnapper saw it he was about to smash ML’s head with bottle but MC protected ML that’s why MC had a scar on his neck. Elder step brother and Hajoon probably are childhood friends together with ML. And there’s subtle hints here and there that elder step brother is only trying to trick his mother in making it seem like step bro doesn’t like ML. But secretly he’s indulging ML and trying to cover up for ML in everything (even Go Hajoon said so right?) Even arranging Mieum by Jitae’s side. Step bro is like the anti-hero of the story. This is how I feel about him. But in the end Jitae doesn’t trust anyone.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I was feeling the same way about this story but didn’t summarize it as good as you did. It seems they are both suffering. I agree the step bro may be the antihero in reuniting these childhood friends. The more time Mieum spends with Jitae his memories are slowly coming back. Jitae truly cares for him and doesn’t want him to remember for obvious reasons. Can’t wait for Jitae’s back story. On a side note, the art style is beautiful in this story.
He doesn’t want Mieum to remember coz Mieum loves his dad so much even tho his dad is a $cumsh!t. If he remembers everything then it’ll probably hurt Mieum so much. Anyway the art is immaculate! (≧∀≦)
