ok so don't yell at me but I thnik there's nothing sinky between yeongwoon and taegu and the author is just messing with us AGAIN
hear me out!
so I went back to the chapter when he comes over to yeongwoon's house and they cook smth and there is that moment when he grabs him and asks if he's seeing someone and we all hated it coz that was creepy and changed their dynamic.
but now after this backstory, I am actually more inclined to see it more wholesome. so you see how in these past two chapters he'd see the bruises on his body, the way he looks at his hickeys is basically the same.
and i know some of you will say it is predatory and he's been looking at him lustfully since he was a kid, but I think this is not the case. I think it's actually with care. I think it's parental, and I think the earlier chapter was a red herring from the author, for us (and for seo-in) to think there is a love triangle. but there's not.
What is happening is that Taegu has his motherly instincts kick in and needs to look after yeongwoon, and to check on his body for bruises.
and i feel like the author keeps it ambiguous on purpose, because there are panels when he's like looking at him in a way that can be seen in many ways.
and the author did that to us before! with the kiss between the brothers!! Like in the beginning it was kinda implied that twin brothers kissed and yeongwoon didn't want to be a third wheel to that, and as if whatever was between "brothers" was mutual (?)
But then they turned out to not even be related, and that one was a fucking psycho and it wasn't really like we thought it was.
So I just hope this is the same case with taegu, because I realyyyyyy likeeee hisss characetrrrrrrrrrr and I think he's hottttttttttttttt
