Y'all's comments about how the ML is down bad for the MC, are you having collective amnesia about the early chapters where MC literally dreamt of the ML having s*x? Or when he touched himself thinking of the ML? Or when his mind was full of thoughts about the ML from day one? Or when he let the ML touch him not just once, not just twice, even BEFORE they had their little agreement? Clearly h0rny avenue is a two-way street here
Those stylists were TERRIBLE at their jobs lmfao like what "is this really me?" That fit is a 4 out of 10 at best! At that point I was questioning the artist's sense of style, so good thing the ML came to save the day
Ngl I know the top has Issues with a capital I, but why is no one talking about how the bottom is so poor at setting his boundaries? He clearly has his mental faculties online, and he can definitely protect himself... Theirs isn't a case of an ab*ser and his victim, there really isn't anything that would indicate a deep trauma with the bottom (the top, on the other hand...). I'm just not really empathizing with any of them at this point of the story. I hope we could see something more exciting from the both of them (not smut--though that is also welcome, the consenting kind). If only they could sit down and actually talk with even a smidgen of honesty lol.
I agree with you
I think the factor affecting his choices of not setting his boundaries properly is that he likes/love the top.
Yes, that's exactly it. With the way his relationship is going with the ML, you'd think he'd be less ambiguous with his boundaries and set the record straight with the ML. On that note, I like that he expressed that he wanted to go about their sexual relationship a bit slower. It just doesn't sit right with me when the comments are all "oh poor MC, the ML is such a manipulative as*hat" when MC has all the agency to extricate himself from the situation and go back working with the cool gangster bro (if the ML does some underhanded tricks to prevent that from happening, well, that's another matter).
Tl;dr I just dislike how readers are infantilizing the MC, when he's clearly a full-grown adult who could make his own decisions and break the ML's bones if he so wants to.
Hahahahha. Right? Dude can break bones if he wants to. He’s not being manipulated by anything but because he loves the top he’s willing to go along and be pushed and pull. Communication is the only thing lacking here. *le sigh
Is the reason why Taekin's heartbeat accelerates when Minjae's near him because Minjae looks like that sonuvabitch? Maybe it's not a crush, but fear that makes him palpitate?
In fiction, most of the time, fear is represented by livid face (White or even some blue). Teakin was blushing every time it happened. I'm not saying that you can't have redness if you are afraid but it's uncommon. And for the sonuvabitch, I'm pretty sure he will have a real reaction (of fear) when he will be in the boy's body.
That's a very valid point re depiction of fear in fiction! Given the timeline of the story (with Minjae being just a very recent substitute teacher in Taekin's school and having minimal interaction with the kid) and all the novel spoilers that point to Taekin having no time to pay heed to any kind of crush with everything happening to him, however, I'm more inclined to think that the artist intentionally made him red in the face to confuse the readers
Anyone kind enough to share the novel with me?
Sorry it's a web-based original comic and there are no novels. Both the raws and the translation are up-to-date.
Ahh that's so sad ty for replying
