Is there going to be other story abt the red head and blonde dude I am here for them only !!

BEWARE THESE R HUGE MEGA INSANE SPOILERS
these spoilers include description of rape/SA please kindly leave if these subjects disturb you in any way.



brief recap + info:

some of yall might of guessed it: its the 2nd life of both mc and ml.
ML remembers everything except MC doesnt at all, although he has nightmares of his first life.
to add: I noticed manhwa chaps and novels chaps r almost the same (ex: ch 1 manhwa = ch 1 novel)




ok lets start; (im only talking about important details)


When does the 1st life storytime start?: around chaps 72-73

Whats happening after ch 41 in the manhwa? (upcoming updates):
MC learns about how to make perfume for a few chaps. ML offers MC a whole new perfume company for him under his own name: Sejin, and decides to make MC the ceo of the company. MC meets the employees, have dinner w them, etc.. (theres gonna be 1 sex scene after the dinner w the employees) MC receives the news that his father has been arrested for tax invasion and so on. MC realized that it was ML's doing that his family/haeshin coop. was going down. MC felt devasted bc it was his family but ML did it because MC was being mistreated w his own family and gaslighted by his dad to keep working for him so for MC's sake he exposed them. ML got help from MC's secretary btw. ML's precise reasoning: “In my eyes, they were abusers, but to you, they were the only family you had.”
1-2 chaps later, they have sex again but this time MC asked ML to imprint him since ML was the only one left for MC after the whole family situation, but at the end ML didnt imprint him. MC kind of displeased by this situation, stopped sleeping in ML's room and even kind of stopped talking to him bc ML was the one who cut ties w mc's family and now he was alone but ML refused to imprint him? After a f ew talks, they started talking A BIT ONLY again. ML's grandfather died and his brother also disappeared. MC decided to join the funeral with ML since he wanted to fix things at the same time after what happened w the imprinting situation. (btw this funeral is like 2 days long or smt) During a meal, while they were drinking, ML told MC about his side and how he felt and how he liked MC and he didnt want this to be a contracted marriage and also that MC should be the one to decide if they should date or not. Basically he didnt want to force MC to date him or to be in any forced relationship and do whatever was right for MC. After all that and when they came back home, ML got his rut and they almost had sex. ML ate sleeping pills + inhibitors and said this before he went to sleep: “… … You died before my eyes.” which made MC obviously confused. After that rut, ML decame awfully distant with MC BUT at the same time, MC started opening up abt his insomnia and other issues. Later on, MC finally launched his perfume company but ML never showed up to the opening ceremony. ML started avoiding MC by coming home late often too. Until one day ML told MC to end the marriage and that MC should leave whenever he wanted to. MC was completely dumbfounded and confused bc ML said a few days earlier how he liked him but now he said to leave? He felt betrayed. MC hurried to the study where ML was mid way through packinh/ getting ready to leave, and yells at ML how wrong he was to say that and why he said that. He questionned everything and finally yells ''do u think ill die infront of you?'' (MC doesnt know the context and just repeated what ML said during his rut out of anger) and starts yelling even more and questionned how weird it was for ML to get his heat cycles right everytime and every odd coincidence and if he was ever honest w him. He felt like a pet and an object: he was taken care of but he didnt know anything abt ML at all. ML felt like he didnt hv the right to date MC bc of what hes done (view 2nd paragraph) thats why he wanted MC to leave him (this was not mentionned btw) MC begged ML to let him stay w him and ML finally gave him and they had sex and he finally imprinted him: 1st life memories came flooded in in MC's mind. - 1st life storyline starts-




1st life summary: starts with storytime of MC and how he was adopted by his current father: MC left his abusive parents and clinged on a random rich person which happened to be Haeshin's CEO aka his adoptive dad. MC was later arranged a marriage with ML. ML did not really give a fuck about MC at all tbh: he was awfully dry and only thought of it as a contract. During MC's first heat, he just kinda ignored him, 2ND heat they fucked bc MC asked him to, but keep it mind ML was awfully rude/rough in bed (legit no foreplay+he bled) Later on, both MC and ML started being kind to eachother: they would eat together, greet eachother in the mornings, etc.. MC was FRAMED by his whole family for tax invasion and was sent to prison but luckily ML bought him out of it. Basically MC's family used him so Haeshin company would not get caught in those problems. Basically after he got out of prison, bc of ML, his family totally cut him off. !!! MC was asked to steal a document in Ml's study which MC obviously did for his father way before he was framed by his family since father was like yk how i raised u blah blah.
This sadly was the reason both MC and ML grew apart. While MC and ML were starting to like each other and even having comforting sex, ML felt absolutely betrayed by MC for not being honest earlier about stealing the files and MC couldve even come up with a reason and straihht up told ML he stole it for his own good. ML started ignoring MC around house and it detoriated MC's mental/physical health since he craved love and attention; he starved himself too. One day ML came home drunk and MC begged on his knees to not ignore him and give him another chance and how hed do ANYTHING for ML to forgive him (MC's family alr left him so if ML leaves him, he'll be all alone and he was scared of that) ML forcefully made MC to blowjob him and even told him to act like a prostitute if he wanted to be forgiven. MC throat was swelled up for a few days due to this incident. Meanwhile ML was at a funeral, MC went into heat again but this time ML's brother also randomly came and RAPED the shit out of MC (ch 86) it was disturbely written. MC who got so fucked up after the rape, called his secretary and asked him to pick him up to leave cause he was finally done w this place. ML went to MC's house and noticed how bruised MC looked like and demanded who did that to him, but obviously MC being fed up with the whole situation just told ML he slept w his brother (didnt say it was rape at all) ML being mad, he rapes MC and forcefully imprints him w pain (ugh it was so hard to read that part). Later on, the Moment where MC wakes up from all the sex w ML, hes been brought to ML's mansion again. THIS time he was confined: he can only sleep in ML's bed and if he wanted to leave to another room, he needed his bodyguard to follow him. (its been several months from the raping incident too) MC would starve himself and just felt depressed the whole time. Until the doctor told him he was pregnant: MC didnt know whos child it was; ML's or ML's brother. MC finally had enough and didnt want to give birth to a successor, he went to ML's study and kills himself.

after imprint (2nd life/present): MC still decided to leave ML. ''If you were going to let me know about such painful emotions, you shouldn't have imprinted on me. If you knew that emotions are so contagious, you should have been a little more careful.'' and ended the marriage and left w a suitcase. 3 months have passed and ML decides tomake a random contract/proejct in order to meet w MC bc he missed him dearly. Bc of the contract between MC’s perfume company and ML’s company, they met up every single day in MC’s office (ML wanted to do this for 3 weeks straight since he missed MC sm). After their contract/project which took like a week or so, ML and MC left together and had sex after a company dinner. They had sex bc MC’s heat and ML’s rut aligned bc they eere both imprinted/bonded whatever u call it

Edit 2: Im going to remove any translated chapters to shorten the post but theyll still be available in the group link.

What is up with these people already concluding it is bad? Have you completely read the novel? It has 4.8 rating in Ridibooks and when I finished it is actually A VERY GOOD READ.

It was very shaky at first but then everything became significantly better when the events regarding the entering of SS-Class Dungeon started. Around 90s chapter in novel, I think. I admit that it was quite boring at first half but it gets better until the end.

Regarding the ML, I hated him to my guts before the SS-Class Dungeon arc started. He is very sly. A complete bastard. But God! When Jin Hyo-Seop ran away and when he realized his feelings, his character turned 360 degrees. This story will tackle how obsession and love are different things. And how LOVE is what actually Andante felt, not just obsession unlike other MLs. But yeah, I think he's still somehow obsessed, just has discipline. He is willing to give up everything for Jin Hyo-Seop. Willing to go berserk, willing to give the 1st guild ranking, willing to never enter dungeon again as MC don't like danger, etc. If you will ask me, this belongs to my top 10 groveling MLs where the ML actually suffered. A LOT. He was even planning to move to Argentina, an uninhabited place, just to never see Jin Hyo-Seop again and let him live freely and happily. Anyway, the bad thing about him is that he doesn't care for the world nor the safety of the citizens. In people's fantasy, "a villain who will sacrifice the world for his lover."

As for Jin Hyo-Seop, his character is very frustrating for some. Not for me. His coward and timid attitude will be validated by his experience with an esper who forcibly imprinted on him. This is not his ex-lover but someone who took advantage of his guilt for not offering 'deep guiding' to his older brother (the guild leader of the guild Hyo-Seop first belong to which is called BETEL). He was 14 that time when this bastard esper asked him for such guiding. But at the very end, Jin Hyo-Seop had the courage to finally do things his way and what he wanted, with Andante (ML) respecting it.

SUMMARY SPOILERS

•MC Jin Hyo-Seop joined Noapi Guild

•All Noapi guild members are S-Class

•Andante refuses guiding due to the fact that no other guides can heal him completely, thus, the scars. He also has a bad condition called "Reverse/Forced Guiding," something bad for guides.

•MC said that he doesn't think the Noapi guild members are bad, which made them speechless and warm up to him.

•When Andante and Jin Hyo-seop first slept together, Andante realized how amazing Hyo-seop's abilities are. So, when they went back to the guild office, he introduced MC as his lover, something he decided on his own. MC at the time didn't even know. LOL. Guild members know that Andante is only doing this to keep MC by their side as MC is the only one who can perfectly guide him.

•Chaos started when it is said in a gathering of guilds that several stone slabs from dungeons all over the world are missing and Shin Haechang, the speaker, put a bounty of 10 billion won to whoever will catch the criminals.

•Shin Haechang knows deep inside that it is Andante's guild they are looking for.

•An SS-Class Dungeon was predicted to appear again. It first appeared 60/70 years ago, second time is 10 years ago.

•Andante told MC that they are collecting the stone slabs because they will use it to forcibly predict/open the SS-Class Dungeon again even if it is only supposed to appear again 50/60 later. However, the guild members will be old by then and not much powerful.

•No one is able to defeat SS-Class Dungeon 60/70 years causing huge damage. 10 years ago, it appeared again and everyone thought it will be defeated because most capable S-Class Espers gathered and entered the dungeon lead by 'Owen,' once in a century "SS-Class esper." However, it failed again. Only some Espers survived and the ones who survived all went berserk not long after. Hope was lost when Owen, the greatest hero, also perished.

•Everyone is afraid to face the SS-Class Dungeon that appeared today, considering the berserk spree that happened and how much S-Class Espers are lost from each country 10 years ago. Much more that Owen is already gone.

•When a world meeting was conducted regarding how to deal with SS-Class Dungeon, Andante, who is uninvited, interfered using only his audio and said that he is the underworld leader who took over the underworld 9 years ago. As everyone is afraid to face the dungeon this time, he made an offer that he, the unknown underworld leader, with his members will enter the SS-Class Dungeon first and be the sacrifice.

•Shin Haechang, the one representing Korea at the meeting, was mad as he knows that it is his rival Andante speaking. However, when he met Andante after the meeting, he changed his mind about not supporting him, as Andante said that he recognized Shin Haechang as his 'fan.' Andante requested that they allow them to hide their identities to public.

•SS-class dungeon finally opened and the fight inside the dungeon was broadcast to selected people only. MC doesn't belong to those selected people so he is very anxious. Noapi members with cloaks and masks, entered. They first battled with monsters that look like themselves. Second are various monsters and finally, the boss. During the second and final phase of fighting, the fight is suddenly broadcasted live on TV with now everyone around the world witnessing it.

•Everyone can now see how the Noapi members fight, with all of their masks taken off except for Andante, whose mask was not scratched at all.

•While fighting the boss, members are already at disadvantage except for Coda and Andante. Surprisingly, Coda is visibly super angry, unlike his usual calm self, and everyone knows that he is about to go berserk due to his golden eyes. Andante calmed him down and left the fight to Andante.

•The tides are on Andante and everyone was on awe as they realized Andante has two abilities. Usually, Espers have only one. Near the end of fight, Andante got stabbed in stomach with the the claws but he knows that the monsters' weakness is it's shell so he focused on that, tearing each shell parts of the monster one by one. During this, the monster tried to withdraw his claws from Andante's stomach and touched his mask. As the monster do this, the last shell, placed on its head, shattered with Andante's strength. Commonly, in order to defeat a boss, you have to rip its heart out. However, Andante gently picked up the monster and embraced it.

•Not long after, the shattered shell on monsters head peeled off. The unshelled monster changed into a human. Thin shoulders, long hair, and a slender body. Andante's hand affectionately stroked the man's hair. At the same time, Andante's mask fell off and he smiled at the person he is holding in a way that MC had never seen before. And then, Coda suddenly ran towards them followed by the other members who shouted "Ano/No" and then bowed their heads. Coda cried and hugged the man in his arms. (I personally cried here. It was such a beautiful moment. Goosebumps.)

•At that moment, everyone realized the same one, thing. 10 years ago, Owen's guide and the only guide of the LEOM Guild that used to be the number one in the world. Ano/No short for Anora. His codename PIANO. A SS-class guide that is first to enter a dungeon when the SS-Class Dungeon appeared 10 years ago and sacrificed himself to protect the Espers.

•NOAPI=PIANO. Jin Hyo-Seop realized this like everyone else. Now he understands the hostility of Cindy's split personality (the Noapi member who always quiet). The creation of the guild is solely for the existence of Ano. He thought to himself that he could never take his place and that is why he could never receive their affection and trust for each other. Remember that they hid a lot of things from Jin Hyoseop (Aww. My baby)

•Ano was Coda's lover.

•Leader Andante is SS-rank Owen. He has two abilities just like him and uses debuff power.

Anyway, this is all for the first half if anyone ever read this. Let me know if you need further spoilers or questions.

This argument/fight was bound to happen. Going back to the start of their relationship, you have a teen alpha who suddenly found his fated mate. Seems great? Not really. Looking back, you have a TEENAGER finding his fated mate after being insecure about his 2nd gender for years. Until then, Hazuki hadn't been all into playing the role of an alpha bc of his past experiences and suddenly, finding his fated mate, he wants to fill that protective and reliable alpha role. He pushed himself to mature (and it's been explicitly said so by Naoto as well that he(N) feels that Hazuki is more mature than him despite his age). Hazuki wanted to be someone who protected and cared for his new family, pushing himself to do his best. That's great and all, but he was young and didn't have the same experiences as Naoto so he was always playing a catch up game in terms of experience. His lack of experience and perceived capabilities - especially when Minato came along - really showed compared to Naoto and Hazuki had to deal with those insecurities that came with feeling like he cannot protect or help. We saw him hide and withdraw because he felt that he was being a bad partner and parent by being unable to even hold his baby. They were able to temporarily patch up (not fix entirely) the issue then because Naoto got through Hazuki's insecurities by explaining his previous lack of knowledge and own insecurities about being a single teen parent. Great, but Hazuki still struggles with this gap between him and Naoto. After that they seem fine, and they are okay because they can communicate and help each other out. However, Minato is growing and he's reached the age where he is being a little rebel. Hazuki isn't prepared, they now also have a third child to care for, and that gap is apparent again. Adding to this insecurity, is the fact that Hazuki is not trusting Naoto by doubting if Naoto would stay with him if he found someone more reliable. Naoto of course wouldn't but Hazuki believes that his perceived lack of ability to help Naoto will push him away and that Naoto would find it easy to move on from him. At this moment, things are made worse bc Otoha (if I remember his name right) is good with kids - one of the biggest failings for Hazuki. Hazuki needs to read books and blogs and learn from other parents, but this guy? He appears to be a natural with kids. What Hazuki doesn't see however, is that Otoha most likely has had years of experience with kids, so of course he knows a lot. However, Hazuki's insecurities and his jealousy and his lowering confidence in himself is building up. And in this new chapter we see him blow up - which is something new because he's tried to hide when he feels insecure before - at hearing Naoto compliment someone else on something he has been struggling with. It's not good and I get what he was trying to say, but he did not say anything good. He ended up victim blaming, which of course hurt Naoto because 1) it was a terrible traumatic time for him and 2) Naoto most likely feels betrayed by Hazuki who once told him that he loved him for who he was and would not look down on him for being an Omega. Naoto has been told repeatedly that omega are at fault for whatever happens to them, but Hazuki was different and based on his reaction, Naoto feels a deep anger towards Hazuki now because he used those feelings and experiences against him. I know they're going to work through this, but it is also true that this was bound to happen. Hazuki isn't a bad partner or parent, he always puts his family first and is an active parent. He's never left Naoto to deal with the kids alone on purpose and he takes on doing chores and childcare actively. Naoto, and others, are amazed by how hard Hazuki works to take care of his family while learning to take over his mother's company. In this chapter, Naoto and Shizuku are excited to prepare a surprise birthday for him and there are no negative comments about him napping because they believe he deserves to rest. Naoto was probably even bragging about how good Hazuki is to him. Everyone sees it but Hazuki. He wakes up and immediately scolds himself for napping when he was only supposed to put Aoi to sleep, he worries about not giving Naoto or his mother in law resting time. He believes he should be able to give others rest when he himself needs it, and he sees it as a failure not to do so. He's just really insecure, and honestly I get that. He feels he isn't living up to his role and that he is not being a good parent or partner because of it, when he is already a great parent and partner. He's young, younger than Naoto, so of course he doesn't have all the experience and knowledge that Naoto does and he isn't giving himself grace. He is seeing himself as a failure but at the same time he doesn't want to admit it and he's burst out now, saying the wrong things and taking his frustration of himself out on Naoto.

Poor Shizuku, she left with her parents happily together and will return to them having fought. She's definitely going to be hurt by that. I just hope this fight doesn't last too long, my heart can't take it. ╥﹏╥
