To all of you thinking he already figured out the situation I say not so fast guys! Remember, the terrible abuse area described by the author has finally came to an end when Yeonjo escaped. That means whatever happens in between that and the coming redemption arc will certainly be some circumstances that will prepare the seme to beg on his knees for Yeonjo's pardon (according to the author).
Seme may be doubtful about the true identity of the corpse since he's way too sharp. Or maybe he did figure out the truth but that guy who helped Yeonjo escpape will tell him next chapter that he indeed helped him escape and that Yeonjo is in love with the seme and that's why he attempted s**cide.
The seme went full mode psycho on Yeonjo because he thought Yeonjo hated him all this time and had no feelings whatsoever. If he learns by that guy that Yeonjo actually loved him he may recover his senses and maybe this time he will do the right thing and let him escpae and live his life.
I am pretty sure there will be a time lapse before they meet again...
Hee-ryang seems to at least be blackmailing Yeonjo, yeah. And Yeonjo looks too thin and depressed or like he lost all hope. But it also seems like he's walking (limping) around with a lot more freedom than before and making decisions about when to have sex with Hee-ryang. It seems like their dynamic will change. But it's unclear to me if that is still part of the redemption arc the authors announced or not.
Naaaah, he doesn't know shit. He's bluffing. My guess is that he has a doubt about the corpse but nothing more and as time goes by he'll end up believing he lost Yeonjo for good. And then fast forward few years later when they meet again by some circumstances. I truly hope that's the case because my baby Yeonjo needs at least 100 years of freedom and peace to recover from half the abuse xD
For those who forgot, here's what the authors said about the current plot (act 2) in the previous authors notes:
"And this period will mark the nadir of Yeonjo and Hee-ryang's relationship.
As mentioned earlier, Hee-ryang will be viciously obsessive + abusive toward Yeonjo, committing "untold brutalities,” which he will come to sorely regret by the time we reach Act 3. (No, "regret" won't even begin to cover it. He will want to gouge his heart out and eat it in penitence...!)"
I think it is a given that this was just a pretty lil’ showcase. The real thing will surely begin after this plot to escape him, in which he will most likely be found and dragged back, only to endure hell on earth… What I’m not sure about is whether he will kinda buy this first and discover after or he will check indecent parts one should not check on a corpse (given the nature of the body ig) and he will go mad looking for him
Yes, it's finaly over with Yeonjo escaping. The torture/abuse mentioned here clearly refers to what happened in the current arc. Knowing the truth about Yeonjo's killing intentions is what triggered the seme to commit the untold brutalities (chaining Yeonjo and graping him everyday for God knows how long it lasted). Now that Yeonjo escaped, I believe they will not reunite until the very end of this season and the real redemption will happen next season. Having Yeonjo acknowledging his love feelings for the seme looks like a sort of closure. The toxicity is finally behind. I am guessing we will have a time lapse at some point before the redemption arc kicks off
To see this man who was abusing Yeonjo being the one saving him is quite unexpected. I can't wait to see what’s next for Yeonjo. I hope he won't fall in new abusing hands. He deserves some peace before meeting the seme again. I think the seme will believe that Yeonjo died. The author said he will have the most spectacular redemption in the coming season. I think it's only possible if he goes through the pain of believing Yeonjo is gone for good this season. Also, I am glad Yeonjo was able to acknowledge his feelings and the fact he hates himself for it makes total sense. Great dramatic plot so far!
I kinda wished they would switch at some point. Dojun deserves his share of d*cking and Tae deserves to take it once in a while. Dojun was a top before meeting Tae and it was hard for him to transition into becoming an exclusive bottom but Tae simply doesn't compromise on this point whatsoever :// Quite unfair imo
It's been years since his mother died and they're still not living together?! The hell? I know Dojun has some emotional issues but this is crazyyy. I've always said he seemed like he just went with the flow in their relationship and Seok was truly the one who loved him sincerely and deeply. I now have no doubts about that. Years of dating happily and bro still can't envision a future together? Wow!






To all of you thinking he already figured out the situation I say... well you're probably right and I was totally misled by my wishful thinking :// Thank you to @Tiny_Snail for pointing out the prologue chapter (after Ch.83 Official). It's all there guys :( The abuse and the suffering seem to be going on for way more chapters, probably all along the rest of the season which means the seme found Yeonjo quite fast.
We can see Yeonjo with short hair still being held and abused by the seme. And then there will be a new rival who will force Yeonjo to lead the seme to a new trap. Same shit over and over again. I am devastated. I thought it will be all healing from now on! Damn this terrible toxic addictive story :////
It's like a train wreck that you just can't look away from, right? At least that's the way I feel about it. It's awful, but I wanna know what happens next. I guess, although it's a very toxic dysfunctional relationship, it's a well written story? because it grabs you with all these intense emotions and you just wanna know how it will end. Or that's how it's like for me anyway.
Yep, that's the best way to describe it. The story is just impossible to guess, and you can never see how the end will unfold. That uncertainty is what makes it so addictive and impossible to drop! I am also enjoying the obsessive aspect, not gonna lie. Not really the harsh abuse tho. But obessional love has always been my cup of tea. Especially when the obsessed character used to be so nonchalant at first like in this sotry. He fell so bad, it's delightful. I can barely contain my excitement for the redemption arc. It's gonna be epic!
Yes, exactly!
