like omg so self-destructive and sabotaging he's definitely going to say something that he really regrets next chapter...it's hard to imagine what happens next bc even though it would make sense for nanjo to leave (assuming he has feelings for mokyoen and will be hurt) i can't imagine mokyeon going after him bc mokyeon has such a low sense of self-esteem. on the other hand though i can't really see nanjo going after mokyeon either..like who's gonna take the initiative here...
Ikr!! Like both are so stubborn and nanjo literally seems like he doesn’t care about anything lmao
like i actually enjoy the fact that despite being kind and smooth and competent (seemingly perfect in yunho's eyes) he's also kind of ruthlessly cold with his relationships and how he draws boundaries. (this is sooo in line with me liking characters that are warm on the outside and have some coldness on the inside lol) and also unintentionally callous bc he's stubborn with imposing his worldview (ie fooling himself in certain ways bc he actually is unwilling to tap into his own feelings and instead is operating out of instinctive need to keep yunho close) in some ways he's still being very alpha/dominating rn
yunho is still a bit too lovelorn and passive for me..i hope for the sake of character development yunho runs off eventually, getting the space he really needs and becoming his own person with his own agency who can hold his own against haewon. i think it's necessary for the plot
i really do enjoy stories where one character percieves the other character as having all the power in the relationship and then they/we later realize that that was never the case
pretty sure the cig doesn't taste different loren probably just doubletaking bc he used the cig after uno used it (ie he's let his barriers down accidentally) and uno notices it and is smug
STILL SOOO GOOD oh my god just A+++++ storytelling such incredible character writing i feel like this author is really good at plumbing psychological motivations to the extreme, just the ugliest and intense parts of the way we feel and love... but also why did i reread that ji nx charin now i'm sad again...
Ong its such peak writing and it makes me cry so much
liek what's going on...what does he want man..
also did anyone else find the twink more likeable in this chapter LOL kind of refreshingly straightforward and not putting up with mokyeon's dramatics
Absolutely not. Mokyeon depression, regardless of being self-induced, is far more important than Sunhwa's existence. Twink needs to disappear by any means necessary, imo. (╬￣皿￣)凸
Lol yeah he was being reasonable and also almost down to earth?? I couldn’t tell if he was pissed or concerned but it could be both lmao
pleaaase i'm so excited to see their dynamics finally switch and cheoljin being the one losing control and embarassed...minwoo putting his extensive sexual experience to good use fjdsaklfjas. they're actually SO good and hot together (minwoo = turned on by cheoljin; cheoljin = turned on by minwoo being turned on by him = endless cycle)
its crazy though that all the misunderstandings still persist...it's clear cheoljin is feeling super vulnerable and desperate for minwoo so minwoo could hurt him SO badly if he wanted to. i wonder if things will seirously blow up because i sense the season end coming soon...
cheoljin playing toxic stereotypical seme here meanwhile in the latest chapter he's basically revealed to be like a slutty virgin fjdasklf
Like a complete front and back virgin or just an anal one
Just a anal one I think
surprised everyone thinks nanjo just has 0 clue as to what's going on when clearly he isn't that into the twink anymore (skipping his bday) and he's been having mini revelations about mokyeon in prior chapters (realizing mokyeon cooked him seafood without liking it, understanding that mokyeon and the twink have a bdsm/safeword relationship, etc).
i lowkey think nanjo knows the truth and does having some feelings for mokyeon but he's still confused and thinks he's being played by both mokyeon and the twink. you can tell he's been softening and doesn't think of mokyeon as an violent aggressor abusing the twink and even sometimes is quite soft with him. but whenever the three of them hang out together i think he notices the close dynamic mokyeon and the twink have (in this chapter too, maybe it seems to him that they keep talking about each other and are toying with him). maybe he even thinks mokeyeon likes the twink and that's why mokyeon keeps trying to get him to leave the twink
ALSO i remember seeing this chart somewhere the author made about the character preferences and nanjo actually is really possessive (compared to mokyeon...so food for thought)
so when nanjo asks "are you ready to let seonhwa go" you can see it also as him trying to figure out if mokyeon still likes seonhwa too..and ofc each time mokyeon's response either makes it seem like he doens't want to let seonhwa go OR seonhwa's the one who's hanging on to him. etc
so even right now as mokyeon is "exposing" seonhwa to nanjo it just seems like he's flaunting in nanjo's face how seonhwa was never into him. (nanjo likely doesn't care that much about seonhwa now, but its confirmation to him that mokyeon was playing him? or doens't like him?) i think if you combine this with how when they're together seonhwa and mokyeon have tons of internal references about how close they are and nanjo can't get a word in this theory could make sense..
This i feel exactly the same way and i feel u can tell he is possessive even jn the beginning he believes and trust blindly thats not bad but it also makes him foolish and arrogant when he blamed only mokyeon and mokyeon tried to explain himself but nanjo would not allow hence i do not think nanjo is as innocent (victim) as some claum but in fact both are victim to there own foolish game ans stance tho i def see a stronger connection with both of them than the twink
Thank you. I can't understand why everyone act like nanjo is victim. At the end of the day He, himself chose this.
This is what i want to believe to they both like eachother but are misunderstanding
exactlyy we're on the same page. once we get nanjo's side of the story i can see everyone flipping to his side LOL but it also annoyed me that nanjo was so presumptious and judgy towards mokyeon (and tbh maybe lowkey classist) at the beginning. it's def a story where they're both flawed characters so i hope the author maintains that too, i don't really want to see one character being clearly in the wrong and having to grovel - it's better when they both mess up in certain ways and have to navigate it heh.
at the very least he's not as into the twink as everyone seems to think he is like i think the fact that he skipped his bday and pretended to be sick is telling
