Ay Yo! My poor Lyle isn't gonna walk straight for weeks man! ╥﹏╥...that panel with the color changes to prove they were in bed the whole time is crazy! Someone said it before I could but he better get some witch hazel and hemorrhoid cream cause his ass finna be burning lol
Damn Ash I said I would tag in for Lyle so he can get a break, why you using him up like that man ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ lmao

Taesung is the green flag girlies should be raving about!! He's attentive, passionate, loving, protective in the healthy way, and gorgeous as well! I was so invested in Haebom and Taesung that I found myself giggling like I was reading smut for the first time! 10/10 recommend for those times when you need a break and refresher of what healthy love can be.
I enjoy all of their moments; I really love that even the "bad" guys were handled quickly without coming back like kdrama villains. Though I will say I was shocked about Dowan...not saying he didn't deserve a slap or two but his story ending was a interesting choice...but I digress.

Oh Ash is officially in my top 5 dominant tops ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Next to Mr. Kim in The New Employee, my god does he have a way with words. This whole rut sequence has me feeling like I'll tap in for Lyle. So Lyle sweet if you want a break let me know (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ I'll take one for the team! Lol

So I found a fan translation of the finished the novel and read it; not perfect but definitely able to read and understand it enough. I will definitely spoil it a bit, so if you don't wanna know more please skip my response.
If you're not able to handle non consensual sex/SA I must encourage you to skip this manhwa and novel entirely. It does not handle Zhenya redemption well because it chooses not to change him. Which in a small way I respect because the man is pretty much a damaged villain that has attachment issues, so I understand that murderer like him wouldn't just become a walking green flag in reality. But I do wish we learned more about him to bring our some humanity in him better. The novel barely scratches the surface of his childhood and what could be the opener for me to have liked him more as a person.
Also he still is a son of a bitch to Taek Joo at times when shit doesn't go his way and will #-.-) let's say have his way with him even when he's not conscious...it can be annoying to read when you are so far into this novel and both him and Taek Joo's relationship is still at stage 2. But Taek Joo is written a bit weird too because he subconsciously knows being with Zhenya isn't good and with all the BS that man does to him he wants him around...so stockholm syndrome?? I don't know. But Taek Joo at this point is definitely consenting for the most part...I think...
Anyway it ends with them together and actually happy. Zhenya at least cares at him, says his feelings better and calls him "my rabbit" which is cute if you like murderers ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ and Taek Joo definitely has feelings for Zhenya and tends to him often and always worries about him. They have a small place in my heart, so there's mini moments of humanity there but it's not perfect ladies, gents, and nonbinary friends.
Overall the story could have been better, the sex (the consenting ones) were def fun to read, and there's sweet moments that made even me blush or awe at. I would give this a 6 or 7/10...could have be a easier read without the constant SA

This story honestly lost me at times. I felt like the overall plot could have been better and fleshed out. I think skipping into Jaehyun and Seojin relationship was too fast, I think it would grounded me more had I saw how much Jaehyun relied on minwoo more. It would have made me understand the drive for him to try and be free of that controlling bastard. Plus the man literally pushed that young man into traffic and we get nothing about that being at least attempted murder?! Also I could barely connect to Jaehyun as a character at times because he never once acted human. Sure his hyper sexuality is a form of defense but I don't know...it didn't come off like a young man trying to hide his fear but more of a natural prick that uses anymore for his benefit. There is so much missing, Seojin's mother and her significance to why he even gives a fuck about a man he barely knew, The Chairwoman and why she gave a fuck about Minwoo (Is it Controlling? Love? Hate?). Also the relationship between Jaehyun and Seojin and hell even Minwoo was confusing. He said he loved Minwoo but like did he?? It felt like he was using that man's power just as much as Minwoo was using him for gratification. And Seojin and Jaehyun never had softer moments except for the end and it didn't catch the heart like I thought it would. This story needed more polishing, sadly I wouldn't read this again.

It's a cute story, short and to the point. I enjoyed the aspect their "big" problem was solved relatively easy with the fact both characters communicated healthily. I def could read this when I just need a break from toxic relationships.
My only minor complaint is, I do wish it was tad more in depth, I just felt like I really don't know Seunghyun and Do Hun as people and the ex showing up to do nothing was unnecessary if he really was just all talk and no bite. But that's not something I really care that much about.
Oh! My bonus point definitely comes from the fact the author only made the "threesome" a dream/nightmare lol. I maybe in the minority with this opinion but I knew Do Hun would never be okay with letting Seunghyun fuck his ex let alone have a threesome with him. Plus Seunghyun would never force that kind of situation on him either (that much I could tell from their character traits).
I would say, you should definitely read this if you need a serious mental cleanse from shit shows like Roses and Champagne, Codename Anastasia, Passion, Jinx, etc
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Oh I can not get enough of Seunghyun and Jongchan or better yet Mr. Woo and Mr. Kim because the amount of blushing I did was too much for a woman my age. But Mr. Kim me out here freaking out about how dirty he is my man is a freak! And I love it! He's attentive and a hard worker plus the man build like a god under that suit...that bonus chapter with the phone call had me done! "That's a good boy" oh sir...do not get me started!! Ahhh! I just adored it.
"That wasn't the real me" Hahahahaha Oh Ash sweetie... you're only gaslighting yourself here (≧∀≦)
We all know that you were very much in your prime last night. Now I'm not saying it was all you, some of that was just pent up hormones obviously from ignoring your ruts but some of that talk was definitely your feelings. But I believe Lyle knows and accepts all of that.
