But Nakyum didn’t ask for love in the first place, his life changed after they found him in the fucking town drunk and passed out. He wasn’t hunting Inhun, he was trying to live a peaceful life. I hope he can go back to that more than him falling inlove
I agree with both of you. I wish Nakyum to get as far away as possible from both those manipulative, self-centered and conceited men. Nothing healthy can come from his relationships right now because they are abusive. I can see the development of a sick attachment from Seunghom to whom he can't subdue and because he witnessed Nakyum's naive and simple love toward someone else. But I hope it desn't end up in stockholm's syndrom
That's a really good point
I see the bright-eyed children have read my post lol
I feel like people keep going through hopeful phases of Seungho/Na-kyum developing into an actual mutual romance but then the translations reveal him saying some pretty fucked up things. People are interpreting his actions as passionate like he missed him dearly.
I didn’t get those vibes personally, I got aggression and thirst lol, tho either has potential to be right I guess? But like right before he kissed Na he was choking Na-kyum and intended to beat his ass once again only to be stopped by Inhun’s bitchass trying to pretend to be a mediator. So it seems weird to say something was more romantic about that scene.
Felt more like Seungho reasserting himself after having the shock of his life. He didn’t like Na challenging him like that so this is his way of regaining control. Sure it’s a desperate way to sear himself into Nakyum’s head but
I don’t think it’s affection the way normal people express it. Never will be until he sees Na-Kyum as more than a precious toy. You can genuinely love your toys and get attached but you will never value them like you do humans, they still exist for your pleasure and whims.
This story to me is starting to not fit a tragic end or a romantic one. It just feels too gray right now to determine either. But I’m sorry, in my opinion if your first instinct is to put your hands on someone when they come back after running away from your abuse it doesn’t feel romantic idk, feels possessive.
Ugh. I just keep looking at how this isn’t tagged romance and I’m wondering why. Maybe somehow it could develop into a relationship that’s a complex mix of genuine infatuation and resentment but it’s never going to be healthy. As long as the author makes that clear I might be on board with said development
**Just to clarify I’m not saying I’m right, they wrong. Honestly I’m bias in my own ways and that does color my POV too. I just want Nakyum to be with someone who will love him fully an unconditionally. I don’t see that in Seungho right now. Probably never will.
