I feel like Clark never actually stopped loving the doctor I think he was even unconsciously waiting for him to come back (coz they have been on and off). I think he was just too set in his ways and the secret hobby must've been the eyeopener for the Dr that it was never gonna work out with them.
:( i wish the Dr hadn't been too carefree with Alex. Maybe along the lines he forgot that the dude was a serial killer? He didn't deserve to go down like that.

yeah, that seems like the case. idk if clark did not realized it or he's just ignoring that fact.
and yes, it's actually kinda ridiculous to act like that around alex knowing that he's a serial killer even tho he's a doctor. he was too fixated on his feelings to alex that he forgot alex has been killing a lot of people.
it was quite refreshing to read a bl with this kind of plot, although the contents are the exact opposite of "refreshing".
i like alex, but i will never justify his actions despite of his childhood trauma. and i know how it will end, but i was still hoping just a little bit that clark will feel a little tiny bit of affection towards alex, but oh well, let's just leave that in our imagination. clark clearly still loves the doctor or the doc is really just a special friend to him but i doubt it's the former. there are a lot of hints that clark is still in love with the doc anyway. i certainly like alex with clark but at the later chapters, i actually wanted alex to end up with the doc because it's just like what the doc said, alex needs someone who's warm and affectionate and someone who will never leave his side. it just so happen that alex is beyond repair. poor doc.
anyway, i like how this story had little to no romance. im satisfied with how it ended. i think it would be a bit better tho if there was one more chapter at the end which focuses on clark's thoughts after all that.
