ngl it was disappointing kayo and mc didnt get together, since they were so hyped up, like even mc would blush around her and remind himself he was 28 yo... i mean, it's realistic that she moved on, but i really felt that it was a change of original planning. also, is it just my imagination that the author is pairing mc up with airi (who is btw at least 10~ younger than mc in the first timeline)?

i dont understand why alpha is called a pos? mc willingly went down this rabbit hole, he fell for him when he knew he shouldn't have. he's also the one to agree to fwb. and the narrative makes it clear to mc and readers that alpha is obsessed with his hyung, so his actions make sense. but tbh i would really hate it if he is endgame tho. and it does seem to go that way with the copious amount of (sex) scenes with him and lack thereof with omega.

it's because the alpha love bombs him, emotionally manipulates him, plays games and constantly crosses boundaries (him spreading his scent on him alone is considered assault in this universe). If it was a clean friends-with-benefits situation it would be fine, even the love bet is okay. But the alpha literally dates the beta and leads him on only to throw him away for the omega whom he doesn't even treat with respect. There's a difference between setting rules and one-sidedly treating someone like shit because you 'don't do relationships.'

i mean i def think it was shitty of him to mislead mc in the beginning, but afterward, when alpha makes it clear he's using him, it's fair game. given his context, prioritizing the omega makes sense, and that should be obvious to mc as well. that's not to say im defending him- i dislike how he treats mc, but i wouldn't resent it so much if mc hadn't fallen for him

that's a very good and accurate point. I very much agree this is all the Alpha's fault - first for not treating the omega hyung right, and now mistreating and manipulating the beta. I just find the beta frustrating for ignoring all the obvious red flags and falling for the Alpha anyways. it's annoying to see how desperate he is for his affection

I do have to agree with you here, this is clearly extremely low self-esteem at work I feel like we are all on the agreement that the alpha is a terrible person, whose playing some messed up games. But the MC purposely seeking out that terrible person over and over again has got to be some sort of self-harm behaviour The beta has got me banging my head against the wall every chapter. Like GIRL you're better than this! Please move on
is it implied that the ml was in love with his ex-wife, or the photographer friend who died? idk, it felt pretty suggestive in the beginning
It was implied that Kwon had deep feelings for that dead photographer, so he kept on trying to change his decisions when it came to Yoon~
