I need clarification from novel readers as I read these Korean comments that contain spoilers using Google translate:
sleeplessness: I remember the redhead was a former sex partner of Gong.. because she had a crush on Gong 7 7 She gets upset whenever she sees Gong being naughty to Soo 7 7 7 H The line seems to be askina if she'll give her heart to Haetae-ro just because he dotes on her so much - And the fact that it's nothing special is the thought that Gong didn't do it with any special meaning because Soo is always nice. Because she's kind to me, she's always affectionate.. (Because Gong was kind and affectionate to Soo from the beginning) Jajyo has a narrow field of vision and makes mistakes all the time.. It's a storv of Gona always being alone and Soo alwavs makina mistakes.. But when I read the novel, I thouaht that they maintained the appropriate balance well. Soo looks into her own feelings carefully and accepts Gong's feelings better than expected. (He avoids it for a while, but I remember being a little wary because he knew he'd fall too much once he admitted his feelings) He's a single man with a history of unrequited love, so it took him a long time to look into his own feelings lol. It's cute when Gong jumps up and down in joy when he finds out that Soo likes him
Dajeonggong Collector: Yes?????????????????? So if the redhead was a public sex partner and met the airl he had a crush on, does that mean he's bi or he's gay but got a job disguised as a boyfriend to comply with social norms? Hey, don't you know?!
Water Dumpling Collector: Be careful of huge spoilers When Gona was having a crush on Soo and strugaling alone and feeling bad, (he liked her for a long time), he tried to give up on Soo and had a few one-night stands outside but I remember it wasn't even a sex partner Gona liked Soo in the first place, so that bastard knew everything. Gong realized that it wouldn't work out that way, so he quickly came to his senses and cut her off right away, but that bastard is full of lingering feelings for Soo like a stalker, and that g-roll Soo doesn't know anything, but he dated her because he felt inferior to her and felt like he was stealina the airl Soo liked He's a piece of trash. Threatening to out her is a daily occurrence, he's a piece of trash.. He's a fucking crazy bastard.

sleeplessness: I remember that the red-haired guy was the seme’s ex–friends-with-benefits... He used to have a crush on the seme, lol. So every time he saw the seme getting all worked up over the uke, he’d get a bit salty, haha.
His line sounded like, “Do you really think he’d fall for you just because you treat him preciously like Haetae-ro?” (basically mocking the seme’s attitude, lol).
And when it says “it’s nothing special,” that comes from the uke’s low self-esteem — he assumes the seme’s kindness doesn’t mean anything deeper. It’s that typical low-self-esteem logic: “He’s just nice to everyone. He’s just naturally gentle...” (since the seme was kind and gentle to the uke from the start).
The uke has a narrow perspective and tends to overthink everything, lol. So it’s a mutual misunderstanding story — a low-self-esteem seme limited only to the uke, and a universally low-self-esteem uke — both constantly tripping over themselves, haha.
But when I was reading the novel, I thought it maintained a good balance. The uke actually does a pretty good job of calmly reflecting on his own feelings and coming to terms with his affection for the seme. (He avoids it for a bit, but once he admits his feelings, he knows he might fall too deeply — so it feels like he’s trying to protect himself a little.)
He’s a forever-single guy who’s only ever had one-sided crushes, so it just takes him a while to process his emotions, lol. But later, when the seme finds out that the uke actually likes him, he’s so happy he’s literally bouncing with joy — super cute!
Dajeonggong Collector: “Wait, WHAT???????????? So the redhead was the seme’s ex–sex partner, but now the uke is meeting the woman he used to have a crush on?? Does that mean he’s bi?? Or is he gay but just pretending to date a girlfriend for social reasons?? Oh shit, what is going on here??”
Water Dumpling Collector: Major spoilers ahead
So here’s the thing — while the seme was completely lovesick over the uke, suffering alone and struggling with his feelings (he’d liked the uke for a really long time), there was that red-haired guy who only ever went as far as trying a few one-night stands when the seme was attempting to move on. I don’t even remember them being actual sex friends — it never got that far.
The seme liked the uke from the very beginning, and that bastard knew it. He knew everything. The seme realized pretty quickly that sleeping around wasn’t going to solve anything, came to his senses fast, and cut the redhead off right away.
But that redhead… ugh. He turned into this clingy, obsessive stalker type — still hung up on the seme all by himself. The uke had no idea about any of it, but that guy, out of his own inferiority complex toward the uke, basically lost his mind. He went and dated the girl the uke liked, like he was trying to “take something away” from him.
What a total scumbag. Seriously, absolute trash. He even went as far as threatening people with outing — like it was nothing. Just completely messed up, a straight-up psycho.
