so I thought it was just a stylistic choice (before I finished the chapter), but now with the context of the end I honestly feel like Guwon looked off throughout the main kiss scene in this ch. He was weirdly shadowed, and didn’t seem very enthusiastically into it (though that last point is unclear bc he’s a bit odd anyway LOL). His lips didn’t seem to move, he was just sort of staring forwards or away from view, and in one panel he’s just towering over the mc with his face shaded in darkness (while the mc blushes and drools away )
so there are 2 possibilities here I feel:
1. He’s just strange (probably not fully human) and it was taking him a while to understand the meaning of the kiss and decide how he felt abt it, the vomiting was for some other reason but designed to make us misunderstand atm, and (see: strange personality) didn’t mean anything malicious by complimenting himself in the mirror. He’s obviously mysterious and has a lot going on we don’t know about yet, and clearly Jinwoo is a little questionable too with his missing memories.
2. He’s not actually sweet, and is an orange flag at best on the inside. And all of the above wasn’t innocent weirdness but instead more malicious. If you google Sisyphus, his traits include deceit, cunning and hubris (the author might not necessarily plan to go this deep into the mythology of it all though, maybe just the eternal punishment angle). But I feel like it would be a mistake to assume that just bc the creator’s previous work had a relatively genuine ML, that it means they will only ever create wholesome work..
