HOLY FUCK. DID YOU READ IT? OKAY. BRB TOSSING MYSELF OFF A CLIFF.

You know, when I started reading this new raw chapters were released at 5am for me but daylights savings happened so although I jumped forward in time 1 hour I now have to wait an extra hour until 6am to read the new release. It took me 2 months to understand this wonky time fuckery but tbh I’m not sure I really do so I’m sorry this isn’t going to be most eloquent summary bc = emotional + sleep deprived

I can’t stop crying over Eunjae crying. Eunjae wakes up and asks about San. Geumsun (who’s sitting and emoting alone in the dark) tells him San never existed, Geumsun tells him it’s all a dream he’ll soon forget and Geumsun will take his memories. Soon the world will be wiped of SAN’s existence and Eunjae’s memories of him will go first.

But Eunjae says San has to exist bc Eunjae wouldn’t have survived or still exist without San so the fact that Eunjae exists means San has existed and will continue to exist.

Eunjae doesn’t want it and starts breaking down saying San told him to wait a minute so he has to wait bc he still has so much to say to San. I’m BAWLING bc Geumsun’s tells Eunjae he will regret being the only one to remember bc he’ll be the only one to suffer it’s not worth it. Geumsun will make it so he doesn’t even remember what longing feels like and Eunjae says, “but that’s so sad”

Northern reaper comes to collect Eunjae who will be sleeping for a day. Geumsun tells them to be safe in which they respond they’re always the safest (yeah, NOT ominous at ALL) and says Geumsun should be safe too.

Then Geumsun is left alone thinking Yama is wrong with his parting words last chapter bc fate has never been on his side but then my baby 704 shows up casually complaining about the cold and ahhhhhhh.

I fucking called 704’s escape being part of Yama’s plan though???

Ch 60 react:

“ Chugin is very obviously going to help 704 escape or lose him somehow, right? We wouldn’t hear Yama give clear instructions of where to transport and how to imprison 704 otherwise. I mean, this is basically Chekhov’s escape plan, right?

If nothing in this world is a mistake and there is no coincidence, would this be another careful plan by Yama? Is he setting up Chugin now?! Am I just paranoid? Dammit, Yama, why do you have to be as sexy as you are untrustworthy? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧”

CALLEDDDD IT ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

Is he actually really soft with Chugin though? Whatttt???? Weird seeing Yama being this chill sage like character now just giving up control and going with the flow of fate???? If you can’t fight fate then why be such a dick to begin with???

pretty sure the key word that connects all 4 characters mentioned in the author’s note after the season 1 wrap up is “fate”, right? Extra obvious for the English title but pretty interesting since the Korean and Russian titles/meaning are different. Anyone know and could pls explain the Japanese title? it’s all super interesting!

ANYWAY...maybe I’m totally wrong and way off but I think we may get a 704/Geunsum spin off????

The last chapter landed on Eunjae’s birthday and the author tweeted about drawing something for Eunjae’s birthday last year but missed drawing 704 and Geumsun’s birthday last year but will do it after season 2 concludes. In addition to the “main” story, they’re also working on other projects and will share the good news after season 2. so I’m hoping the good news is one of those other projects being a GM and 704 spin off??? And maybe that’s where their birthday drawings would be most appropriate. Because I honestly don’t know how they’ll fit telling both this story’s climax and Geumsun and 704’s back story in a satisfying way with only one season and some episodes left. The build up!

Also some clues (items surrounding Geumsun’s golden fan namesake in ch 20, official merch art) point to their time being set in an entirely different era so it would make sense to be a separate story? Honestly please no more flashbacks to the main story bc my timeline ( https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/10142407/ ) are starting to make me look like I need to be committed. https://imgur.com/UaLpJOK

Ughhh now we wait 20 days for chapter 69

Am I missing anything for chapter 68? Are you still crying too?

Since people are very confused about the story, the characters and the timeline, i want to give a brief summary, including some aspects from the raws. I hope i'm able to clear certain things about the currently translated chapters.

PAST:
Seo Yeonjin (main uke) bought Choi Moonhyuk (main seme) after seme lost an underground fight. It was love at first sight for the uke, and he buys the seme and wants to know more about him, so he looks for information. His best friend (tanned guy with small mole on his face) comes along and says he can give him that info and long story short, uke agrees to sleep with him in exchange of that information. Combining the info that the uke got plus seme's flashbacks, we have the following information: Seme was raised in an orphanage and now takes care of his brothers and sisters who were in the same orphanage, after the orphanage is demolished or something. Seme's former boss (chagang) was into bondage, and seme saw him sleeping with a man with a scar across his lips (let's call him scarface, he is important later on). Apparently, scarface is a well-connected man politically (according to latest translated chapter) and it is he who gets the seme's former boss murdered after coming across a video of seme and boss having sex, because Boss was scarface's b!tch.

Coming to uke's story: Uke's father is a rich businessman, married to a beautiful opera singer. One day uke, while chasing a ball, accidently sees his father having sex with another man, who is ---SUPRISE!!!!--- Scarface! His mother then comes and takes him away. He starts acting rebellious and shizz and later on, his mother commits su!cide, for which he blames his father, etc etc. Uke gets married to a friend of his, who doesnt mind him sleeping with the seme, and tells the seme that she is aware of everything and chose uke because uke was the perfect candidate for giving her a beautiful son, who is the only one she truly cares about. She also has a grudge against uke's dad, though i dont know the reason. Uke's aim is to humiliate his father, and in the process he ended up falling in love at first sight with seme, and the story continues from there.

Uke continues sleeping with the seme, and even tries the bondage that seme's former boss used to do, because he is in love with the seme and wants the seme to notice him, but one day when the seme is drunk, they have sex and the seme confuses him for his former boss, and the uke realises that he is competing with the boss' ghost so he will never be able to win seme's love. This is where chapter 12 ends.

PRESENT:

Whatever is written above, is actually the PAST. Chapter 1 begins from the PRESENT. In the present, uke is already dead (apparently), but his body HAS NOT been found, and the seme is accused of having killed him. The former boss is DEFINITELY dead, his body had been found long back, even before the uke and seme had met.

EDIT: Since some people are asking about this: I think the uke is still alive. Compare the former boss' death with the uke's death. Former boss (chagang) died, his body was found, so there was no ambiguity about his death. But uke is supposedly dead, yet his body hasnt been found even after many days of searching iirc.
(This is my speculation, I desperately want them to have a happy ending T_T I really really hope the uke is alive.)

EDIT: Best friend is Scarface's nephew.

Chapter 18-19 onwards I think mutual feelings begin to develop between the seme and the uke because the sex looks much more intimate, though i'm not sure because i cannot read korean. The scarface makes a comeback, recognises seme, while uke's dad also makes an appearance, and i tell you he is such a B!TCH i literally want to crack his skull open istg (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

So this is more or less the summary, I'm sorry for any mistakes!（/TДT)/

If anything is unclear (Main story or my summary), please let me know! ^^
