I liked this very much, but Eunyoon is quite a bit abusive, and it's never addressed. It's a pity. We also never got to see much of what happened to the in laws after he was hurt.
I am reaching the end, but I have to share how annoyed I am. The whole story is extremely frustrating. Seme is complete bully who is never wrong, has never apologized, has never treated uke well, is entitled af and still acts all mighty, but is never put down a bit, which I have been waiting for since the beginning. Uke's cowardice is inversely proportional to the amount of spine he has. He is always complaining but does absolutely nothing to change things, principally stopping seme from doing what he wants. I'm not sure if the smut is over the top or if I am just too annoyed with the whole thing, but I get so frustrated when I see smut starting that I just skip it all. After all, I know it will be the same: seme wants, uke doesn't, seme forces, uke says no, they fuck, uke cries, seme is a smart ass, uke asks to stop, seme never comes, uke comes like 10 times saying, even if he was a couple of lines before complaining, that it all feels so very good. Rinse and repeat. Oh, and let us not forget the best friend, who is waaay better than seme, treats uke well and right, but must smell or something, because uke still prefer the one who treats him only like garbage. The recipe of this story is so often used that I could almost predict where it was going. And this is coming from someone who likes the Older rich seme, Younger poor(er) uke trope.
Sorry for those who liked it, but I had to vent a bit. The whole mother drama was refreshing, though, so there is that.
Oh, and I just know uke will say "I love you" first to seme, seme will be smug and say finally, and that's it. Because during the whole story the only thing they couldn't do was be honest. God forbid, their dicks might have fallen off if they were...
I haven't even finished reading yet, but I have to say Keaton's father is more handsome than his brother. I was going to mention Keaton's father is the best looking character but then I saw Ben's father and now he's number one.
(Yes, I have daddy issues.)
This was a rollercoaster. First, I need to mention I created far too much expectation for this. It just ticks every box I love in regards to tropes, such as older, straight top, comedy, color, smut... Then I started it, and it was very good, but not fantastic, and then a time skip with MCs apart, which I f hate. In the end, it was still very good, and I recommend it. I'd give it 4.5 stars if possible, but as it is not, I'll go with 5.
ALL THAT SAID, I'D HAVE KILLED FOR EUI-HYEON AND CHAEHYEON TOGETHER! Hear me out: Cha expecting to top, only to discover Eui-Hyeon is an exclusive top himself (a need to be in control after losing years of his life in a coma), and Cha finds he simply loves being dominated. 500 stars.
