i know huijae not knowing the ml's name is their gimmick but you really mean to tell me this 18 year old (i'm pretty sure 20 is his korean age, not international) was in a relationship with an older man when he DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME??????? the fact that his name was already in the description from day one really undermined the moment huijae found out. this didn't feel like a final chapter and the events before this didn't feel like it was building up to a final chapter. it's like there should've been a few more chapters to resolve any misunderstanding between them.
huijae cumming when ml told him his name was funny af tho LMFAO
i read the raws so i might be mistaken but i don't think beomjae (ml) ever apologized for. you know. raping huijae? and i had a feeling he was never going to apologize because to him (and as an extension, to the author), it wasn't rape. he always referred to it as "fucking" thus it was still "in character" for him. like sure. it didn't /cause/ huijae's phobia, but it sure as hell triggered it for MONTHS after. even in the last chapter i feel like they barely talk about his phobia and how important it is. and in the end beomjae says "why didn't you tell me" instead of apologizing. they don't make any mention of the fact beomjae was the one who triggered it by his assault on huijae.
the audacity to give huijae's assault real repercussions yet write in a loophole by making beomjae's touch "different than the rest" is.... gross actually. and the worst part is that it was completely unnecessary. the author ALREADY had a good opportunity to trigger huijae's phobia via witnessing beomjae murder someone. the rape was written as beomjae's attempt to "become the bad guy" so that huijae doesn't feel bad about him leaving the island i guess??? even now i can't understand the reasoning behind it, both as a character motive and as a plot point. even if you tried to ignore it, the events in season two literally would not let you LMFAO like what was the point??
i'm really disappointed because i really liked the premise of this story and the characters in season one were cute but ever since the season one finale the writing has been deteriorating. like what impression was i supposed to leave with? what was the author trying to say with this story?? that if you assault someone with a social phobia they'll grow immune to you??
so the final chapter came out today
spoilers
