This read was captivating because the author did a great job in explaining where each character was coming from in terms of their decisions and point of view. It felt rushed in certain points but only because it jumped from “I don’t know you at all” to “if you don’t exist then I will die”. It wasn’t a bad thing though, I think after reading the whole webtoon I understand why the seme saw the uke and decided that he loves the uke in such a strong way. The seme is a murderer but he has never genuinely wanted to kill someone out of his own willingness which is why he lives everyday with overwhelming regret and anguish. The uke has had nothing but a hard life so when he meets someone that treats him kindly and places his happiness as a priority he can’t help but fall in love because this “murderer” is the only person who has done anything to make his life easy and financially stable. Honestly, the seme allowed the uke to take everything at his own pace despite the initial kidnapping. The seme never raped the uke if anything the uke had to teach the seme what he lies and dislikes in a lover which I thought was really cute and fluffy. It does have psychological trauma from both the uke and seme but those traumas bring them closer together and help them understand why they need the other person. I love how they are both equally obsessed with one another to the point that they verbally express how much they need the other person in order to live which I think helps the other partner always know they how important they are for the other because they both doubt that anyone can truly love them. The uke is so strong, kind, happy, and courageous. He goes through so much to support his little sister and to support the seme. I love the part when he states to the seme “I will take responsibility for you too”.
