spoiler timeline for anyone who wants it!

have read the novel up to when they get together & the raws here is everything that happens between kyuho’s confession up to them getting together in a detailed bullet summary in case their situationship drives anyone else insane (since i saw people asking for spoilers but this is a lot so i didn’t want to dump it into a reply, i wanted the ability to spoiler tag it)

so for some detailed spoilers (this is very long as a lot happens).

- kyuho starts putting noticeable distance between the two of them in his efforts to get over yoongun, which very much upsets yoongun

- at one point kyuho gets drunk and tries to bust open yoongun’s door w/ a fire extinguisher when kang (his friend) is taking him back to his place bc kang & yoongun live in the same building and kyuho beelines for yoongun’s. yoongun intercepts, takes kyuho to his place to sleep, stares at him fondly, & thinks abt how he really wants to kiss him and laments how kyuho is trying to put between them (he still is not aware of his feelings atp. lol)

- kyuho freaks out when he wakes up and leaves during breakfast w/o eating it, continues to put distance between the two of them bc he decides that they can’t even maintain their friendship at this point due to his feelings. he pretty much begins ghosting yoongun entirely& later lies to him when asked why he’s avoiding him, saying that he fell for someone at work and doesn’t want to talk to him right now bc of it because it’s awkward for him.

— this proceeds to drive yoongun kind of insane as they had maintained the idea of their friendship being more important than any relationships they may end up in & he is Very Upset at thinking he means so little to kyuho that he can’t manage being around him even if he’s seemingly gotten over him

-Kyuho continues to dive headfirst into his journalism internship and the child abuse case he’s investigating. Yoongun downloads the dating app Kyuho used to use while brooding & proceeds to send him a message (he ends up sending like 99+ of them in total). Realises Kyuho has lied about liking someone else

- yoongun then asks sehyun, i think his name is? (the friend of his) to invite kyuho to a mixer sehyun(?) set up he can see him again, which pisses kyuho (still trying to avoid him) off a lot. Yoongun then spends part of the mixer flirting w/ and touching Kyuho when no one is looking. Kyuho leaves & Yoongun follows to ask why he lied abt liking someone else

-Kyuho tells him he doesn’t have the confidence to stand next to him as a friend & cries out of frustration and Yoongun then royally fucks it up by blurting out that he thinks Kyuho looks really pretty when he cries because his brain shuts down upon hearing how much Kyuho likes him

-Kyuho then punches Yoongun in the face, Yoongun keeps asking him to stay with him and spend time together because he’s still short circuiting over how much Kyuho likes him. Kyuho (understandably) interprets this as Yoongun ignoring his feelings and trying to proposition him just bc he wants to keep his FWB that badly, and tells him effectively to fuck off and cuts him off

-Yoongun keeps trying to get in contact w/ Kyuho to apologise for how badly he fucked up, showing up at his company to talk & sending him flowers with message cards because Kyuho blocked him. Tells Kyuho when given the chance to speak he wants to see him on the basis of spending the rest of their lives together (seeing and talking to each other daily, holding hands, kissing, sleeping w/ each other, etc)

-Kyuho once again tells Yoongun to fuck off bc he can’t believe him. Yoongun then confesses & says he wants them to live together and get married. Kyuho says again he can’t believe Yoongun as sincere after everything and says not to contact him again

-Kyuho gets fired from his internship for refusing to use some bad information his boss gave him. Runs into Yoongun while crying over it bc YG is still trying to reach out to him, apologises for snapping at him while crying and cuts him off once again by saying they’re too different to work out and that they can’t understand each other / that their values are too different and he’d always worry about being an irritant to YG because of it.

- Yoongun is very upset by this but then remembers the ‘you look pretty when crying’ comment he’d made and how he had completely ignored how upset Kyuho was at that time in favour of his own happiness towards him & accepts it / apologises for making Kyuho feel like he couldn’t be with him without feeling anxious

-School starts again. they are no longer in contact. Yoongun takes a leave of absence. Kyuho discovers the 99+ messages YG sent him on the dating app and (not realising it’s him) is very weirded out. Sends a message calling him a psycho lol

-Kyuho’s one female friend (Somin?) asks him to go drinking to vent abt her breakup. She’s got very close cropped hair bc she cut it to appeal to her ex and is wearing loose clothing (this detail is relevant)

-Yoongun, having received the message, thinks Kyuho is trying to find someone new on the dating app. He sees KH and Somin together heading to KH’s house and - thinking Somin is a man bc of her style - freaks the hell out thinking Kyuho really has gotten over him and is taking a new lover. Spam calls Kyuho, goes to his place, and threatens to bust into KH’s house with a fire extinguisher the way KH did for him when drunk.

-Kyuho lets him in as he’s very confused and Yoongun starts kissing him and Somin is there to witness it. Poor girl, baffled, leaves after YG falls asleep in Kyuho’s arms, having knocked himself out from relief upon realising nothing happened

-Yoongun gets a call and Kyuho recognises the number. It ends up being Kang (his friend), who’s been working with YG on a case he was investigating as a reporter

-KH and YG end up talking and YG tells him abt how he downloaded the app and how he wants to get back together

-Kyuho discovers the article YG was assisting Kang with was regarding the article / reporter fraud that got Kyuho fired during his internship (as he refused to accept / use bad information) & that Yoongun had approached Kang about this right after learning about Kyuho’s firing. Kang and Kyuho talk on the phone for a while about the situation

- Kyuho reflects upon everything & decides that, after hearing everything Yoongun did to help him after his firing, he can accept his confession as sincere now. the two talk everything over and get together

    NP! there’s a long way to go until they’re on the same page & get together so i thought this might help tide everyone over as this hell situationship slowly chugs along

    haha you might be waiting a while, just to warn you in advance! the manhwa just hit the mixer section with its latest update & it updates on a ten day schedule, so there’s probably a good handful of months before the raws cover everything i bulleted (and then the tl will take some more time)…. you’re braver than i for being willing to wait it out & let it marinate i’m too impatient

    sure! i don’t mind sharing the link in this case because i read the raws (and MTLed them using my browser’s translation function), i don’t think it has a translation https://booktoki468.com/novel?stx=%ED%8C%8C%ED%8A%B8%ED%83%80%EC%9E%84+%ED%8C%8C%ED%8A%B8%EB%84%88&book=%EC%99%84%EA%B2%B0%EC%86%8C%EC%84%A4 it’s certainly clunky, but i think the understanding of it gets across well enough even with the shoddy translation ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
