i DO think it's creepy though don't think i got that point across enough lol..
Glup.. I’m shivering in my boots rn
I think it’s weird too bc you watched that kid grow up as an adult and now u like him….
dont spread misinformation. in q&a season 1 theres none of the author said taegu is second ml. if you follow author on twitter the author did said taegu are not second ml he is the reason to make seoin and yeongwoon characters grow. not competition lovers with seoin.
Oml I love you, this gave me back hope
why we spreading misinformation??
in the season 1 q&a a reader asked if taegu is seo-in's rival and they said he is? you can look yourself, it's chapter 21.5: hiatus + q&a
i'm not? check chapter 21.5, someone asked the author if he's his rival and they said yes?
wait do you have the link to that tweet? i wanna see it i can't find it, i'm happy if it's true i just can't find it
rival does NOT mean second main love…? are we this illiterate? it just means they are enemies… many second main loves in love triangles can also be best friends w the first main love. idk why you think rival = second love interest, it just means he’s just going to get in the way of their relationship, it doesnt mean he wants yeongwoon.
girl in the context of the q&a i would assume rival would obviously be a love rival. don't call me illiterate you idiot it can be interpreted either way. also i don't know why you are so upset about it being a big possibility when you literally read HARADA'S works LMFAOOO this is the tamest shit compared to them. also that other person that commented about the tweet never gave a link, i'd be happy to see it seeing as i went through the author's twitter page and couldn't find anything about it. again rival could easily mean love rival, in the context of a BL it's not 'illiterate' to assume romantically.
Here’s the Korean version of ch 21.5:
Q: 태구 씨는 서브 공이 맞나요?”This literally asks if Taegu is the sub gong- the second top in BL. The author answers:
“Yes, he is the sub gong and…”
서브-showing he’s secondary to the main lead
공-top/seme/attack
thank you for the clarification! it's true rival can be interpreted differently but being a love rival is what made the most sense ╮(￣▽￣)╭
It can be but in this case, the context made it obvious it meant love rival. I dunno why some people are confused about that
harada is a shotacon and romanticizes rape that shit is NOT comparable, and youre that offended by being called illiterate?? sorry your horny ass assumes that every character wants to fuck the ml, ive literally read A LOT of harada’s work but that doesnt taint my pov of every fucking bl LMFAOO idk wtf you read but not every creator/bl is weird and makes someone who’s an adult want to fuck the ml theyve known since they were a minor + a huge age gap. also based on the context of the WHOLE BL it’s so obvious he’s a rival not because he’s in love with yeongwoon but bc he doesnt trust the ml bc he was literally there with yeongwoon before he ran away and present he literally knows whats up… sure a lot of bls have “rivals” that tend to be romantic with one another such as walk on water but they clearly purposefully dont make it weird between them, dont have any sort of romantic connection, their attachment very OBVIOUSLY give off a family/mentor bond. im giving this the benefit of the doubt because this story actually seems good and it would be VERY fucking weird and unnecessary if they made him a “love” rival
giving the benefit of the doubt i hope it just means he’s just a dominating/attacking role and isnt sexually weird w yeongwoon, it’s really obvious he’s already secondary to the ml already anyways but, yet again, it doesnt always mean it’s romantic. and w your other comment, the romantic context is NOT obvious and im still going to deny it until it actually happens because it genuinely is so out of place. his reaction to the abuse from yeongwoons dad gives protective father, reaction to ml being all weird with yeongwoon doesnt give off jealousy as a second ml would, more worried because im 100% sure he’s seen yeongwoons depressive state from him, and wtv else. also english translation just says that he plays a significant role, i feel like it’s way more obvious it wouldnt be taken in a … romantic way, more so just trying to get in the way to protect yeongwoons wellbeing. itll just be annoying if it’s actually true he gains feelings for yeongwoon because it’s fucking weird and youd expect more from a story like this
YOU are the one in clear denial especially after your response to the other comment confirming the translation in korean..? i'm not assuming, i am INTERPRETING something differently than you that's not a fucking crime LMAO. even then, there's nothing TO interpret differently if in korean it was clearly stated he is the second ML. We can't be picking and choosing our morals here, the main ML is a rapist and that goes for half the stuff on this site. I'm not saying it isn't weird if he is the second ML I agree and think it's strange. But I won't put it behind this author, especially considering their 'Boy Meets Man' twitter art and them making Seo-In a rapist. My view isn't 'tainted' it's simply not naive.
You can't preach to others about an immoral age gap and rape when you are actively consuming the content that romanticizes it. And face the truth about this series lmao.
Okay I'm not gonna say much because I'm getting tired of this and I know you are replying to the other person but I just can't...LMAO.. "his reaction to the abuse from yeongwoons dad gives protective father" GIRL DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF?? I want you to go re-read right now. He actively ignored it until he couldn't bear the guilt and instead of comforting yeongwoon and cracking down on the father/abuser. He stopped beating the father so he wouldn't take it out on him. He took an extremely indirect approach, which actually was probably for the best, but that doesn't automatically lump him into a Father Figure role?? Indirectly stopping a child from getting beat doesn't mean you are a parental figure. I feel if most people knew about a child being abused, they would try to stop it too. That doesn't automatically make them a parent lol.
i ate ur ass up and u knew i was right so u blocked me lmao
sorry to devastate y'all but the creator confirmed taegu is the second ML way back in a season 1 Q&A.. gulp..
i will say i originally didn't really mind/think much of it because i thought that yeah even though they technically met when he was younger that taegu just occasionally saw him after he was like beating his dad up lmfao.. but clearly they were a bit closer than that and taegu really did care about him and i can see how people interpret that as a father figure
ALTHOUGH i will say that i don't think he's a pedophile like some people are saying. i would go as far as to say he doesn't even have feelings for MC yet or at least i haven't gotten that feeling from any of their interactions. i feel like he'll develop them soon or something, and MC is late 20s so he's really not a pedophile BUTTT it is creepy considering how he knew him earlier but he never looked at him weird when he was a child. ANOTHERR little thing i want to say is although i can see the father-son or just kind of caretaker dynamic when he was younger, i feel like they don't really have that anymore they're just close and he worries about him some, MC is a grown ass man now.
anyway that's my thought dump thanks for listening heart
