MINDREADER FINALLYYYYYY I HAVE BEEN WAITING. whilst i try really hard to not fall for the ploy of shipping mc with some dude (just as people in this manga would LMAO) i must say, deep down, i’m rooting for mindreader if it has to happen. i just think it’d be so hilarious
I Kanda feel bad for Hayato(? can't remember the childhood boy's name) but MC + someone who can read his mind would be hilarious.
i totally understand where you’re coming from. i just don’t feel like their dynamic would feel very balanced, or at least with the way things are at the moment with mc being painfully aware of the bl flags in his universe and hayato perfectly falling into each of them as if he was programmed for it. whilst with the mind reader, we actually have a chance to see him uncover the bl flags and be on a more equal footing with mc and with them both being in uni and all. but either way, i wouldn’t really mind as i’m sure the author would develop it sensibly
okay, now i need a couple more chapters where i get to see him actually being happy and living his new life
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYINNN
frfrfr
i feel as though the main idea of the latest chapter and the convo between jinhyeong and songrik might’ve flown over some your heads a bit. especially since by the end, we can see jinhyeong thank songrik. by sharing his own story (and others circumstances), songrik was trying to uplift jinhyeong by letting him know he isn’t alone and that came across and got conveyed pretty well as we can see in jinhyeong’s response.
there was no cutting sentiment that jh’s trauma isn’t valid or was less valid because he had a roof. it was all about giving him some relief that he still has lanes that he has access to that many others don’t, so he can definitely pick up after this because for jh, it felt like the end of the world. he needed to hear that, especially because he’d never spoken up about this before so he’s never been reassured about these sorts of situations and he doesn’t even know of any other examples. i think sr brought him reassurance more than anything.
in other words, in risk of repeating myself to make this point: there was no hint of “your trauma is less valid because you had a roof.” it was more about giving jh perspective, that as hopeless as things feel now, he still has pathways forward that others might not. and when someone feels like their whole world is crumbling, that reminder that they still have options can be life saving. jh had never opened up about this before, so he’s never really had that kind of reassurance or seen examples of people getting through similar things. sr gave him that. i think he brought him comfort more than anything.
(i know the above paragraph and the one before sound nearly identical but they have different nuances so i shall present you with both, hoping one resonates)
i feel like deep down some of you see this too but you’re projecting your own trauma onto his experiences.
mayhaps, we just have different interpretations and that’s okay.
i will say though, i related to this chapter quite a bit and to any of you who felt the same, i hope you know your trauma is valid and i hope you heal <3
i loved all of their hugs, they genuinely made me feel things. especially the first one where he asked if dohyun was a playboy lmao, the wrap around inside the coat just looked so damn comfy
That's one of my fav scene
blondie is kinda so real bc it’s not like he’s asking to be liked or loved, people just impose their feelings onto him and make it out to be his problem when THEY are the ones who like him out of their own volition. he didn’t force anyone into anything
and top actually seems to be okay and like the way blondie treats him so yeah, he’s into it ig

WHOOPS I MEANT BOTTOM* BLONDIE* UGH WHATEVER but yeah..
guys it’s only ch 13, we’re finding out about things alongside the mc. give him a break i’m sure we’ll get to see him in more detail soon. i actually really like him. for a guy who’s gone through so much and has only been recently discharged from the hospital after a HEART SURGERY, he’s doing pretty well. not to mention his lack of desire to live highlighted in the first few chapters, of course mf would be like “well this is what it is”, he was ready to die a couple of moments ago. he’s not going to be hard headed about escaping from the get go. nobody even said anything in the comments but these are my two cents
thank you for the update <3
