So much happened that left me completely stunned in this chapter... I genuinely didn’t expect Yeonwu to be so affected by the drug that he’d literally pull it out like that! I got a jump scare just like Rosa did lmao Another thing that really stood out to me is how insignificant Yeonwu clearly is to the mother. Today’s chapter basically confirmed that she doesn’t care for him deeply at all, she seems to view him as nothing more than her personal boytoy. She literally forgot about his whole ass existence, let him attend a drug-filled party with zero warning…but then why bring him into her home, disrupt her child’s peace and even propose marriage? None of it adds up unless there is more to her plans??
And Yeonwu’s past at the host club? It definitely wasn’t smooth sailing. The mother also seems tightly connected to the club based on that flashback so maybe she even owns part of it or is considered one of the estimate SVIP clients...Considering Yeonwu came from the orphanage she sponsors...I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a whole system where young orphan adults who are unemployed or people like Yeonwu who have debt get funneled into the host club for “easy money”.
Also Yeonwu clearly carries trauma from that time in his life! We saw it even in the previous chapter with the gardener his flinching, his grimacing plus here with the words he was saying to Rosa…And despite Yeonwu viewing the mother as his “saviour” who eventually got him out, she still feels like an abuser of power to me. Nothing about her treatment of him reads as love. And I doubt he truly loves her either it feels more like a mix of gratitude and his longing for familial affection that he’s mistaken for romantic attachment.
I also loved the author’s symbolism with both Yeonwu’s and the mother’s necklaces breaking at the same time right before he starts making out with Rosa.
Honestly, the further the story goes, the more sorry I feel for Yeonwu and even more for Rosa. As for the mother she becomes more vile with each chapter. The things she’s done to both Rosa and Yeonwu so far in these chapters make my blood boil.
