the willpower and strength it takes to ignore the nesting clothes and even encourage mc’s comfort is crazy!!! him asking for consent was too sexy and seeing him push aside his jealousy, then his own alpha instincts is really new to this genre. their chemistry and dynamic is leagues better than whatever force fed relationship the persecutor tried to create
i can’t wait to see seo-in and hae-yool’s reaction when yw bullying experience is finally exposed. throughout this entire story, mc has been a victim on everyone’s account and it’s about time he’s gotten acknowledged and treated better! i hope they regret every single thing they did or were about to do… it’s insane how someone this lovable is treated so horribly by the people in his life when all he’s done is be inhumanely kind and considerate. he’s winning best uke of the year already
even after they separated, he’s been purposefully isolating himself because he knows how insane ml is. this is extremely fucking tragic like this guy hasn’t been able to breathe comfortably, ever since that day. he’s malnourished, exhausted, and reclusive. his dreams and hopes have been crushed and nobody could’ve break down his walls in order to prevent this. im really wishing for the debt collector guy to save him, mc doesn’t have the strength or energy to get himself out of this toxicity
he’s accepting of ml, and comfortable in how badly he’s treated and it all stems from his shitty first crush
I haven't read/seen any spoiler but I highly doubt the ml will try the shit he did in hs after seeing how it ended with the mc, he's def gonna try to be more manipulative and secretive behind the scenes (or possibly try to actually be better but that's a pipe dream) and the mc is not submissive depsite what the recent chapter is showing, we have to remember that the mc is incredibly lonely, of course even when he knows better, to run away, to never get involved with that man again, his desperate need for someone, for comfort, for love, is going to make his resolve waver heavily around the ml. Doesn't mean he's gonna take shit from him tho
i did read the spoilers but my analysis was based off jiwans thoughts/new ideas due to his initial plan not working. as well as how i think mc finds strong comfort in ml, despite the pain he suffered
i agree he will be more manipulative/secretive behind the scenes like before, but this time he’ll do anything to keep it a secret and is probably relishing in the fact mc hasn’t gotten close to anyone- so it’ll be even easier this time to create controllable scenarios
i don’t think mc’s as strong as we make him out to be- sure he left ml in the first place but ml was still dictating his life after. and as i mentioned before, has been miserable this entire time. with all this context, i genuinely believe he will put up with ml’s actions because the constant paranoia/anxiety is exhausting. what better way to quell his symptoms than to have the issue right by his side? it’s a relationship that’s a textbook example of abuse
after seeing what seo-in saw, it’s safe to say he doesn’t know what jaewon did to mc after he left. yeongwoon endured so much pain and suffering from this family, that it’s surprising to me he has the capacity to still have that soft spot for seo-in… with what ml knew and also went through- he should’ve treated yeongwoon with extreme care and respect from the start of their reunion
i feel terrible for seo-in but each reveal of his past makes me think how tragic his behavior from s1 was . i want to acknowledge his trauma but at the same time it was disgusting how he could behave the same as his dead twin towards yeongwoon. there was so much room for kindness and taking his hurt and frustration out on mc was the worse possible outcome
I agree, he loved him so much and it shows in the flashback. But what can we say when someone has hurt us for just disappearing our immediate response is to hate them... And then slowly understand them and realize. So many people have done it, doesn't mean I agree with it but I have seen it time and time again. I definitely don't agree with his actions at all and he needs help.
i can’t believe one of my favorite tropes, fake dating, could become the driver of a relationship so toxic and sad i find it incredibly interesting that their power dynamic influences how they express their “love”. and how mc, despite being one of the closest figures to the prince- is his trusted confidant yet suffers the most under him
with a quick exchange between them, mc’s eyes light up but then there’s a quick fall to them that I can’t look away from. his experiences in totality have been devastating and i feel his emotions after every lash between the two. i admire mc’s honesty with himself, and find his personality gravitating. i had to read novel spoilers and am praying to the manhwa gods that it deviates from the canon story…








he saw raymond looking half dead and unhealthy but thought the first thing he should do is drug and sa him… i hope he gets tortured so badly his balls fall off. this story is starting to feel like literal torture porn of mc. who barely made it out alive to escape his past, winter, and now this!! wtf leave this guy alone already
