I like reading little analysis like this, especially when I'm reading yaoi late at night and my brain doesn't work lmao. Makes me appreciate the manga more and see things i missed
Oh, thank you. Glad you like it! :)
Oooooo, this is such a good point. My dirty mind interpreted it as sexual, but I agree that Seungho may have done it out of genuine concern and care. We’ve never seen him share any non-sexual intimacy, with anyone, aside from Nakyum come to think of it. Even when he was hanging out with his other sex partners, they were just smoking and talking and there was definitely no affection there. Seungho definitely avoids touching anyone outside of sex, and when others have touched him he outwardly grimaces.
I love this. Thank you.
I'm glad you liked it! Thank you.
My favorite scene is page 17 with Nakyum sitting in front of Seungho who is holding his chin. We don't see their faces completely but it is drawn like out of focus with the drawing of them on the floor.
Seungho looking at Nakyum's mouth like that and putting his fingers to check for injuries. This is something a parent may do to their kids or a couple that is very comfortable to each other. The act is not sexual for Seungho at the moment but that makes it even more intimate for both. So much so that Nakyum ends up blushing .
That scene was very deliberate of the author, showing these bits of intimacy outside sex. Despite Seungho resistance to show softness towards Nakyum, there is probably no one else who ever get to share Seungho personal space like this when it's not related to sex.
