So i went to the official korean version and read ahead. Looks like mc confesses and the ml rejects him. And so to get over him the mc begins avoiding him. The ml gets mad bc he’s like wtf we’re friends, don’t avoid me. And the mc says he’s seeing someone and thinks it’d be inconsiderate to them for him to be hanging out with a former fuck buddy. The ml gets mad and it starts an argument. Looks like he’s upset, and the mc gets upset too bc he wants to move on from him in his own way.
Ofc who would want to hang out with their crush who rejected them and when they were your fuck buddy too :/ like bro that's too awkward and most of all they wouldn't be able to move on if they kept hanging out
omg mc actually trying to move on and the seme getting jealous? IM SAT
sigh
does this ml even have human emotions
like most ppl would go "oh he's autistic" but I'm autistic and most of my friends are as well (there's a joke that neurodivergnt people run in packs) and literally no one I know would be that stupid, lacking empathy, and self-centered
I don't any neurodivergent tendencies in ML
He has emotions responses and don't talk about them untill he can get them in control. So then he talks about it.
My autistic friend do the opposite. They have de emotional response, talk about them first to get regulate.
Yea no at one point the ml tells the mc that “so what if you’re seeing someone? Why would you cut me off? You’ll break up anyways. We’ll see each other for longer.” Basically saying that he’ll always be a part of his life whereas whoever this guy that the mc is dating won’t last long (the said guy doesn’t even exist ㅠㅠ. The mc just made it up bc the ml keeps being so clingy and he doesn’t realize it. He literally went to the mc’s job bc he wasn’t responding enough, even though the mc told him that he was busy with work. And he was. Poor mc only got like 2 hrs of sleep and he got assigned something huge at work that’s good for his career. And here comes the ml being like “give me attention”.
Also I just wanted to also say the ml was being super touchy with the mc. He really is being super oblivious to his own feelings lmao
I don't see it either but I feel like with these kinds of characters the general response from the community seems to be to call them neurodivergent
This manhwa is one of the few that I feel is realistic in terms of korean culture. The ml is behaving like a typical korean man with low emotional intelligence.
Ouch
Okay I will leave some spoiler here and some of my understanding about the story.
Haewon still end up with Haeyoung (His crush and the one who always abuse him!) Haewon escape a lot of times but still end up getting caught. Haewon's greatest escape is when he tried to kill himself... (Not sure, I think he jump on the clip) Taegyeom and Hyunwoo (the other guys) thought that Hyunwoo died and then Haeyoung won't accept it.
But Haewon is alive and was save on the country side. Kitae is the one who help him. Kitae want Haewon to be treated on Hospital but Haewon refuse. Time by time Haewon's injuries and wounds are healing. I guess he hide in the country side for more than a year.
But well... Haeyoung still found him... He pays people to find Haewon... In that arc, I guess Haeyoung became a drug user.. not sure because I only read MTL..
Then he caught Haewon and still repeat the cycle of abusing and raping him until his healing body is severely injured again. Haewon eyesight and hearing became so bad that he needs to use earing aid because he can't hear properly anymore.
Haewon with Haeyoung's side, made him so depress, meanwhile the other two, Taegyeom and Hyunwoo was out of the pictures...
In this arc... It was mainly focus on Haeyoung and Haewon.
Haewon tried to killed himself because of depression. He lost his appetite, he vomits blood and he had a lot of wounds and bruised... And yes of course I think Haeyoung was finally having a knock on his mind that Haewon finally needs to be save.
Duhhh... Haeyoung realize that Haewon needs treatment because it was obvious that he is dying by abuse and depression, but by the way he stop hurting him that time.
He treated Haewon, they seek for psychiatrist to help Haewon with his depression. (but I also want Haeyoung to try having one because he also needs it but it didn't happen tho.)
It was a very long time of treatment for Haewon because he is always having a seizure about the abused he experienced and Haeyoung stays by his side all the time because he is obsesss freak.
Haewon really wants to forget and escape away from Haeyoung but Haeyoung wont let him... He is obsesss!
Timeskip... Haeyoung became a professor and Haewon recovered but still has this feeling of terror. Of course they were living in a one roof and declared themselves as a lover, and Haewon doesn't have a choice about that, because he still dependent to Haeyoung. Haeyoung made him like that.
Although the abuse like hurting Haewon is not present anymore in their lovey dovey as a lover arc, Haewon still feels the terror. Of course its difficult to forget the past.
Yes Haeyoung change he doesn't hurt Haewon physically anymore, he treats him better now and he controls himself now when he gets jealous but you know what, he is a manipulator because Haewon never had a chance to escape and forget him.
At the end they were together. And for me it was obvious that Haewon develop a Stockholm Syndrome.. although he can live with his own his mind and his heart are not independent, he was owned by Haeyoung until the end.
Haewon can't never forget his past, he just accepted his destiny, because no matter how hard he escape, Haeyoung will find him.
In final arc, Haeyoung don't abuse Haewon anymore because he wants to redeem himself and live with him forever.

WOW. Who tf sat down…wrote this story… and said- “Yep. This is great. I must share it with the world”
Ok I was waiting for the revenge arc looks like there isn't any... Time to drop this
Yea i barely found it on ig bc I saw a cute pic. But the comments were warning people not to find it bc it’s shitty. I couldn’t help myself though, found it here and skimmed thru it. Then when I saw it wasn’t completed and had a novel- i had to find out the ending for my sanity. I won’t be wasting time reading it either.
i just wanted haewon to get revenge why do none of these authors ever let that happen
Thanks for the spoilers. I thought it could be a redemtion or a revenge story but nah I am not gonna spend more time for this
Thank you for this; I don't think I would continue reading this lmao, though; I literally dropped it for a long time and just checked what happened now.
So does Haewon still have feelings for Haeyoung in that arc? (Hope not)
By what the commenter said it seems like he’s just far gone/brain washed. Stockholm syndrome. ㅠㅠ
Can someone give me spoilers pls? I need to know the reason why he’s getting abused? Who is heeseung ? I just skipped to the latest chapter (ch. 44) and see him getting SAed and him comparing him to someone else.
I love how Iseon doesn’t like Hyundo’s ex. His face just screamed “bitch you wasted my time for this?”
I read the novel for this. It was so good. Cried a lot. This is crazy omg, I’m so excited to see how the manwha turns out. This is the first time where I’ve read the novel before there was a manwha.
Are these manwha’s based on novels? (Omega complex and alpha trauma) I just found alpha trauma on a novel website
Omggg which website? (づ￣ ³￣)づ yes they are novels!

It’s not fully translated , the one that I replied to is completed (:
Yall… this is some bullshit. The only good chapters of this story are ch. 15-18. Please do not waste your time.
I read the ending. The mc goes to therapy. Takes him a full year to recover, get a job, heal. Then some guy who looks similar to the psycho asks him out. Mc says yes, bc the guy is kind and a regular customer at the cafe he works at. When the guy picks him up he makes the mc wait for something. The mc is confused and all of a sudden the guy disappears and the fucking psychopath who broke his leg is behind him and says he’s back- that it was him who paid for his therapy and got him a job. It’s him he paid his orphanage director to come back and help the mc. That he’s been waiting for him to ‘heal’…and that it’s time for them to go home
The best chapters are chapters 15-18
That is it. I wish the story had diverted there and the mc was taken to therapy, got revenge on that psychopath and had a lovely relationship with the ml. (In my eyes the ml is the blue haired guy.)
I hope the next chapters give the mc some peace.
They will kiss/confess in chapter 21-22
