yes!! theres so much more to this story than whats on the surface and im glad someone else caught on to all the innuendos. i feel like to read this manhwa and become distracted by the “love triangle” is harmful and doesnt do much for the reader.
Right now, I don't care about the love triangle because it's pretty obvious to me that Jo is going to be endgame, and that's fine. It's the logical choice. With that being said, OH MY GOD, I LOVE how the relationship between TJ and Yeongwoo is written, even though they're not meant to be together! Their scars and traumas bind them together to such an extent that their pain is used as a condition for staying together, and they both see it that way! While Yeongwoo fears having to wait for Taejoon again instead of being free together, Taejoon fears that this very freedom will cause Yeongwoo to leave him. Without the violence, does he have anything to guarantee that he'll stay? And the same time, he is so manipulative with his own fear that he, in the end, is hurting Yeongwoo once again. It's (at the moment) an endless cycle of pain. DAMN, IT'S SO GOOD. That's why it stresses me out when they're not the focus of the story, because there's no other dynamic where the feelings are so strongly contradictory to their narratives and the plot in general. Fuck, that's cinema. At least for me. So, so, so GOOD!
