For people who read the novel:
I really don't wanna go through and look myself since the novel is so much more brutal. I'm just curious, does the whole, Jiwook making a joke about suicide that happened this chapter (26) and Jiyeon freaking out and getting upset, happen in the novel? TY ^^

    ok i lied i looked on my own.
    VVVV below VVVV
    a few small differences.
    Jiwook says like, "okay yeah that was a bit too much" almost immediately after seeing Jiwook freak out (as opposed to saying no after being asked).
    After Jiwook confirms he wasn't being serious, Juyeon pushes Jiwook away from him roughly when he had been gripping Jiwook's shoulders, where here we don't see him let go of the shoulders, he just goes from holding onto the shoulder to not holding onto the shoulders.
    What I found interesting (Assuming it just wasn't a translation error in the novel version I read) - Juyeon ran a hand over his own face (like in frustration) in the novel, but here he rubs his hand against Jiwook's face?

    IDK why does this matter? Bcus I'm wondering/hoping the ending is at least slightly softer than the novels...

    I keep on seeing that the novel readers says that the manhwa is more "softer" than the novel, so mayybbeee there's a chance the ending will be different. Which I hope so because some stuff I've read breaks my heart but at the same time I hope it ends similar to the novel

    now that we’re beginning to see some (albeit very mild) canon divergence from the novel to the manhwa i wonder if theyre still gonna use the no love trope from the og at the end or if itll develop into some kind of feelings between them... chances are low esp since its rapist/victim but it would be nice to see since juyeon looks like he almost cares abt jiwook rn opposed to the novel scene lol
