I mean we did get some extra info this time about Yeonwu’s past but still...It felt so short...Btw It’s clear the man has been through a lot and judging by the situation, his suffering is far from over. I also think we can say with more confidence now that Yeonwu isn’t as twisted as we initially thought. He just comes across as a sad, lost soul who desperately wants to belong somewhere.
The absence of a family or a mother figure in his life seems to have been filled by the chairwoman. His job at the host club also feels purely circumstantial now just a way to pay off his debts rather than something driven by ulterior motives. And his so-called “love” for the chairwoman isn’t pure or romantic at all it’s more like he’s trying to label his emotional dependence as love, even though it clearly isn’t.
For me, the most disturbing part for this chapter though was Rosa’s mother. Her behavior really reminded me of those lecherous old rich men who date/marry women younger than their daughters. The way she talks to Yeonwu treats him alternately like a son, a boytoy in bed and even tries to make him a father figure for Rosa. It’s so unsettling, to say the least. Plus he is literally one of the orphans from the orphanage she was funding...
As for Rosa, she seems to be growing more unhinged and frustrated with everything that’s happening. Considering that she remembers Yeonwu from their past encounter and has shown clear interest in him in the recent chapters...Plus I think what truly upset her in this chapter was hearing him say that he "really loves her mother". Sigh...We are in for one messy ride...This is about to get so much more interesting and complicated!! I really wish I had found it later now I can't even let it marinate cause of my curiosity...
