Kyoya, who belongs to the “winners” asks, “Want to be my sex-friend?” Though Yuzuru is initially against the idea, he is intrigued by the occasional glimpses of Kyoya’s sad facial expressions. A love story between a twisted selfish boy and an insecure hidden beauty •My Ratings: story - 2/10 relationship - 1/10 overall - 4/10 recommend - no •My Thoughts: Yuzuru is very much a pushover, Kyoya is obnoxious. I hate their dynamic so much. The "well he said no but im gonna keep pushing and not listen" is imo the worst troupe in fiction, and its so problematic. The fact the "rape" tag is casually thrown in there between all the "cute, sexy, hot" in popular tags is personally mortifying.

One night, Dong-gyun downs too many drinks at a school networking event and passes out. When he wakes up, he’s in bed staring up at a shirtless hunk. A hunk who looks an awful lot like...Alex.] •My Ratings: story - 5/10 relationship - 5/10 overall - 5/10 recommend - eh •My Thoughts: It's one of the most well known bl out there, but it's quite honestly just ok. I don't like Alex, and his character development is so jarring and fast its hard to accept. They're a cute couple in the extras but I wish the development had been stretched out more, and faster. I wish I could give 2 ½

Whenever he hears Yohan’s deep, sexy voice.] •My Ratings: story - 8/10 relationship - 10/10 overall - 9/10 recommend - yes •My Thoughts: This it's like one of the icons of bl. Yohan's deafness is portrayed well, and I'm so happy it's not disrespected. Yohan and Soohwa become so frigging cute as a couple.
