Chapter 72 Spoilers

rectify October 13, 2023 8:33 pm

YO is jarred back to his senses and realizes how foolish he'd been to show up at JH's office and then offer to trade sex on impulse, especially when he's sworn himself to never do it.

YO gets off the table and puts his pants back on. JH tries to get his attention, but YO just picks up his coat and tells JH that he's leaving. JH grabs YO on the arm and asks to wait. He states that he doesn't know why he behaved the way he did just now. YO tells him to pretend it didn't happen and to forget what he has said. YO attempts to free himself, but JH moves both his hands on YO's upper arms, holding him in place. JH says that he knows YO doesn't want to spare time talking to him right now, but implores that YO listen.

Since YO doesn't want to be beholden to JH, he declares that he has an idea on how YO can repay his "debt." JH proposes that he pay for YO's time and that it will only be for a few meetings. JH quickly dashes that and changes it to three meetings. JH clarifies that they will only meet to talk. With that, YO's debt will be cleared. YO doesn't say anything and just stares at JH. JH then apologizes for the times he'd been rude and begs to be given a chance. YO says he will think about it.

•••

It's still nighttime and JH is now at home. He's in his office and is watching something on his screen. It's the video from that night he picked up YO from the club. JH watches in terror and anger. A memory of his own vile actions flash through his mind. Regretfully, he admits that he's no different from those men in the video. That he doesn't even deserve a chance to say sorry.

Meanwhile, JH gets a phone call from one of his men. He reports that the camera used to film YO has been retrieved. They also believe that no other copy or back-up has been made. JH asks if they're certain. His man says he's positive. He also mentions that they've managed to locate the loanshark. He asks JH for instructions on how to proceed. JH says he'll take care of it.

•••

YO is in a meeting. Seems like his contract on modeling for Haekang Electronics is back on the table, and I guess he's agreed to sign it this time. They discussed ideas and plans. The meeting adjourns and YO is invited out for lunch. Apparently, it has come to their attention that YO forewent food to attend the meeting.

Upon arrival at the restaurant, his companion says he has an urgent phone call to take. A reservation has been made in advance and he instructs YO to go ahead as he excuses himself. On the way, YO thinks about his new deal with JH. A week has gone by since their last interaction, but he hasn't heard a peep from JH. YO wonders if JH's really waiting for his answer. He also mulls on what sort of relationship JH intends to have with him if JH's this bent on making amends. Just when he's finally making up his mind, YO despairs at the timing.

YO makes it to their room and is surprised to find JH there, seated and already has started on his food. JH looks up and invites YO in. Having heard that YO has been skipping meals, JH says he took the liberty of ordering for him. YO expresses displeasure over people keeping tabs on him and JH apologizes. Cause someone's being a sneaky bastard, YO reminds JH that he has yet to respond to his proposal. JH says he knows. He asks if YO's been doing well.......then adds that he's there because he wanted to see YO.

-end-

Wonder why JH said he will only ask to meet YO three times. Will he finally leave YO alone? Or is it three meetings to make YO fall back in love with him? Three meetings to figure out what he really wants from YO?

    Thanks! Jaehyuk is conceited, up until this point he solved everything with money and influence, but now he has learned money can't fix what he did. 3 meetings won't be enough to undo the trauma he inflicted on Yeon Oh. Tricked Yeon Oh into meeting with him before getting a response because he knows he's losing Yeon Oh for good if he doesn't fix this soon. Every time they have sex, Yeon Oh will be traumatized more, reliving how Jaehyuk used and discarded him, he should have never accepted the offer to be repaid with sex.

    You're right! Only 3 meetings to repair the damage JH did to YO!?? Clearly not enough...

    I used translation tools but you managed to explain the chapter even better than the translator! Thank u sm I love your comments and opinions too!

    Idk why but I have a feeling that YO's mom will appear or that they will talk in those three times about YO's mom. I have a feeling but not so sure,... What do you think? Waiting every week is eating me up from the inside and at this point I just wanna discuss and make small theories on how the story will go aaaaaaa
