I really agree with you and I really just want nakyum out of that situation, like I don't want him there I want him far away from that place but ik he doesn't have anywhere to go. I'm crying I'm just going to see how it goes.
The couple has a long way to get to a mutual romance but this does not mean people who ship the couple don't have a valid reason to cheer the progress or see the romance seeping in in the chapters so far.
The chapters are very short and the author clearly doesn't want to compromise the characters by making them acting out of character so it's really a matter of opinion to say that only when Seungho falls in his knees and declare his undying love for Nakyum or vice versa is that one will be satisfied to declare there is romance.
As with any other stories, personal taste and opinions are directly linked to how people perceive the same scene.
For shippers of the couple, Seungho change of behavior, the fact that he stopped sleeping around, that he spends the whole day concerning himself with what Nakyum do or is thinking is already a big sign that there are more than just sex in his interest for Nakyum. After all, if he was sleeping with Nakyum for just selfish desires, there would be absolutely no sense in keeping several lovers at once. Or mind if he eats well or dresses warm or be jealous of a simple mention of another man. For people who don't ship the couple or that won't accept any sign of progress unless it's a full blown devotion, all the chapter one and two changes in Seungho means nothing.
Nakyum on the other hand saying that he feels warm in Seungho's arms and voicing that his heart beats fast and he desires Seungho would be considered to be catching feelings in any other story but here all this is dismissed as simply 'purely out of pleasure'... what is weird since if he was sleeping with Seungho purely out of please, there wouldn't be tropes like he thinking about him out of sex or he feeling intimacy in an embrace.
The argument that people need to reread the whole webton goes both ways because after all, although these two are really far from becoming the ideal romantic pair that everyone expects, to say that there is absolutely no sign that Seungho needs Nakyum more than for sex and Nakyum on the other hand is struggling to explain why he feels warm in Seungho's embrace when he is supposedly in love with another man is really disregard the whole effort the author put on the story.
Let people cheer up on the progress, as slow as it is because after all, if it had been faster and Seungho would have become a ball of fluffiness around Nakyum or Nakyum, after years of denial and confusion, just plainly had his feelings for Seungho figured out by now, this story would be really lame.
I’m not reading all that but thanks for sharing your perspective. My point was they’re not in love (keyword YET) so calm a lil bit with that “admit you love him” business. Jumping the gun there. Give these characters time to develop, self evaluate, self love, redemption, etc. we’re getting there but not now
anyone cheering for admission of romantic feelings should probably reread this entire webtoon lol clearly neither of them feel anything remotely close to romance. nakyum is pitiful. he's in love with a man who's using him, and he's sleeping with a man purely out of pleasure. the man he's sleeping with has no feelings for him, just selfish desires. we have a LONG way to go before we get to this "mutual romance".
