i don’t usually read straight smut because the authors/artists are insane who i’m pretty sure have never seen nor even heard of a woman and the dudes are always the most loser guys imaginable but this is so cute?!?!?! no annoying over-exaggerated porn-brained facial expressions, normal proportions, story’s a lil fast but there’s actual chemistry between them, etc.

ive been itching to say this since the first few chapters but is Dongjae autistic? i’m at chap 33 rn and the “i have a disorder that makes it difficult for me to feel emotions” kinda solidified it for me cause it’s really part of the character, not just the typical “asshole playboy being an asshole playboy” a lot of authors do with semes. apart from that, his black & white thinking (e.g., associating smoking to being a bad person/student or a bully; violence = bad all the time; the whole attraction thing), difficulties understanding others (e.g., failing to empathize with Euntak on that museum date), lack of facial expressions, needing to be taught about which emotions are what, making unfiltered (and sometimes hurtful) remarks not realizing how it might sound to others, difficulties following social norms, etc. are leading me to believe he’s in the spectrum. im not one to armchair diagnose people and speculate with others cause that’s weird and invasive but he’s not a real person so my headcanon is he’s autistic lol. that also makes him less of an asshole because his behavior and statements were not to deliberately hurt Euntak; doesn’t make it less hurtful tho but it explains stuff at least.
i used to think they’re such a mismatched couple but Euntak being that expressive and animated might be a good thing for Dongjae since it rly seems he has trouble reading people. Euntak being that much of a crybaby is kinda worrying tho lol.
im more concerned about people’s reaction than what andrew presumably did in this chapter. “i like my men a little jealous and possessive” is an insane reaction to seeing someone harm themselves (presumably, we dont know yet) to get someone’s attention. idk if u guys are teens or BL logic has fried ur brains or smth.
this is not an argument on whether andrew did that on purpose or not btw just so we’re clear bc i also don’t know and dont want to jump to conclusions
I personally think it was a mistake because did you see how badly hammered those nails were i think he just used that as an opportunity. But who am I kidding he could very well be obsessed
Some people just like that I dont think “BL logic” has anything to do with that as it’s also not in just BL books
It's just similar to tripping yourself to get someone's or your crush's attention though, not that of a big deal.
tripping and bleeding that much is nowhere near similar but AGAIN, this is not an argument abt whether what he did was intentional or not. also i did not know people intentionally trip themselves for attention, i learned something today.
im talking abt how obsession & toxicity is presented as acceptable forms of love, mentioned BL since we’re reading a BL story and BLs are pretty notorious for stuff like that (at least as a generalization) hence BL logic
if we go one step further, one can even argue he did such a bad job on purpose for luke’s attention. i don’t necessarily believe it but could be true. honestly, i wouldn’t be surprised. he hasn’t had anyone he cared that deeply about in years, probably hard to care for someone in moderation when he’s not used to caring.
No he is actually bad, author confirmed it
Author herself confirmed on Twitter that he’s really bad at it. Author said she just wanted to show readers about how Andrew grew up not learning some basic life aspects and he really don’t know how to hammer nails till Luke shows him.
then him being injured probably makes more sense. but damn imagine doing that bad of a job… can’t judge tho, i can’t even solve a rubik’s cube to save my life. to each their own, ig.
Well it’s possible to get injured when his focus is on completely something else. Man eyes were glued to Luke the whole time.
The author said that he's just clumsy with tools and maybe the friend just misinterpreted what happened.. It's kinda funny tho, if you think about it..
