So, for the whole Soo-Young & Ji-Sung Hyung thing, I think that he doesn't like him because he would more or less hit him & get angry at him easily. I think by that he meant that he could bare the whole thing. Mafia guy wants to keep Soo-Young safe and have him with him so that he doesn't die or something. Min-Hyuk genuinely likes Soo-Young. Because if you look closely at the chapters, he wants Soo-Young for himself. But at the same time, I think he's also jealous. This is just what i think though. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Soo young is one that doesn't want to be treated like a weak person. He likes to independent and do things on his own. But the jisung guy doesn't like that he wants SY to depend on him and always do want he ask him to do. If he doesn't he beats him up and tells SY it is his fault for not obeying. For taesung, he cares about SY but he knows he is stubborn and doesn't want to be controlled or be dependent on anyone. So he respects that and allow him to do what he wants..... Taesung gets worried SY will get hurt, so he tells him to take care of himself. He only helps him when he truly needs it. That is a good relationship, the uke isn't a damsel in distress wanting to be saved. He is strong in can protect himself.... For. Minhyuk
... I don't he is serious for now... He just wants to see a vulnerable SY while having sex with him. I don't like him at all. Especially how he treats his fuck buddy...

Thanks guys! I feel the same way about Min-Hyuk. He seems quite twisted. Especially when he said: "I will have to work harder" when he knew that Soo-Young and Mafia daddy were lovers. What did he mean by that? Like, he will have to work harder to get Soo-Young? Weird! I like the way Mafia daddy treats Soo-Young. Although he is a mafia and we all expected him to be a jerk-type Seme, he ended up being a caring dude! I like it. I just feel like Soo-Young does not really love him the same way. He is confused about his feelings. He likes being held by him but that's it so far. There's still a long way to go it seems.

I think for soo young is more of he is not used to being taken care of. His ex beats him up and rapes him but taesung is more considerate, he doesn't get angry at him nor beats him. He stops during sex when he sees soo young is tired even when soo young says otherwise he tells him not to stress himself. Soo young gets flustered and confused because he is not used to that. Steadily he will fall for taesung and be happy.... I really hope his leg will heal though....

Minhyuk only for it for tge sex lol he just want sooyoung to be "broken" for him. Sooyoung also didnt like him like that. Sooyoung just treat him kindly since Sooyoung is kind. I think he see Minhyuk as Hoobae kind of thing (Mingyuk is younger)
I agree with the others. Sooyoung is the independent type, he hates excessive kindness, he hates pity party, he's prideful and the fighting type. Taeseung understand this side of him. You will see how their relationship grow from chapter 23 onwards. Taeseung and Sooyoung have a very unique dynamic and not the usual love uwu thing.
Currently where the eng version at, its still early to predict their relationship. I read until chapter 38 and Sooyoung really find peace & comfort in Taeseung's arm.

Oh wow! I can't wait to see that! I will wait for the translations so at least I can understand what's going on. In the first chapter, Taeseung said that Soo-Young looked familiar and that they may have crossed path before... is it confirmed yet? Do we know if that was the case or Taeseung was just confused? That was pretty intriguing. I am dying to see Soo-Young find peace and feel truly loved and not abused. He went through so much :,( Thank y'all for the replis <3 <3

I think in the past Soo-young and Ji-sung are actually in love, also Soo-young actually depended on Ji-sung during his early years (while he was a student) since Soo-young live with Ji-sung and his father, but their relationship gets toxic when Ji-sung fathers discovered their relationship.
Also as per the Soo-young, before Taesung comes into the picture, Ji-sung is the only person that made him feel that he mattered and the reason he is able to continue on living (so I guess they are actually in love) that is also the reason why it hurts him so much when Ji-sung hit him the first time, more emotionally that physically.
And the cause of theit breaking up is because Soo-young don't want to be pitied but since Ji-sung gets used to taking care of him and gets jealous because he thinks that Soo-young is asking help from other person instead of relying on him, which is partly true because of Ji-sung's father.

There is no denying that soo young liked ji sung. But in their relationship soo young doesn't have a say. He does anything the guy asks him to do, sex included even if he doesn't want to because he actually admires and look up to him. ji sung also likes soo young but his desire of wanting to control and possess him became worse when soo young grew up and wanting be more independent but ji sung didn't want that. He still thought they were in the past where soo young calls hyung for everything so beats him up to show him he belongs to him.

He doesn't always beats Soo-young, the reason that that Soo-young is hurt when they fight is that because that is the first time that Ji-sung hits him and that he never thought Ji-sung will do hit him. I think that they are in love in the past as shown in their flashback. The start that relationship gets toxic is when the fathered discovered their relationship, also before Taesung, Soo-young went to the gym to look for Ji-sung so I think by that time they are still in love.

Soo young is not totally in love with him. Soo young love for jisung is not a deep love at all. It is more of admiration. Imagine some one you look up to and hold in high regards. Beats you up and rapes you. If it was deep love, he would have tried to reach out but he gets scared when he remembers him which happened like twice I think and that is all... He just forgets him like that. You just don't forget someone you love like that. So that is why I said, it wasn't love it is more of admiration. Soo young isn't that emotionally vulnerable and wants to be pitied. He is slowly accepting taesung because he is more caring and gentle to him which is something he wasn't expecting. He is always confused and surprised when he sees taesung does somethings for him. So he didn't just fall in love because he is emotionally unstable.

I agree that Soo-young's love for Ji-sung is not too deep but I think that they are actually in love in the past and not just admiration. You are correct that Soo-young don't wants to be pitied that is actually one of the reason Ji-sung and Soo-young broke up. But I would disagree that he is not emotionally vulnerable when Taesung made his move, that fact that he went and have sexual encounter with Taesung after his fight with Ji-sung, and is able to accept Taesung when he kiss him and he forgets Ji-sung is actually a sign that he is emotionally vulnerable during those time.

One time of overwhelming emotions can't make him just fall in love. He is not in love with taesung yet. He definitely feels something for him and that is because he feels safe with him. And this didn't just happen because of their first sexual encounter. He can feel that taesung cares about him through taesung's actions not because he is emotionally unstable.

I'm not saying that he falls in love with one surge of emotion, but it does not deny the fact that Soo-young is emotionally vulnerable during those time. Soo-young is emotionally vulnerable and Taesung acted on it, that is why he quickly fall for him, I am not saying that Taesung didn't show kindness and that he cared for him but Soo-young being in a vulnerable state accelerated his the process of falling in love.
If Soo-young and Ji-sung didn't have a fight, I don't think that Soo-young will have sex with Taesung.
I am confused! Does Soo-Young actually like his childhood friend Ji-Sung Hyung or not? He keeps saying that as long as he touches him, he is fine, that he can bare the rest. And that jerk likes to submit Soo-Young and makes him dependent on him but I feel like it's his way to care for him. I don't know, I might be wrong but it looks to me that he does love him somehow. In his own way.
Mafia daddy is protecting Soo-Young but I can't see a true connection between them except for sex. And what about Min-Hyuk? Does he actually like Soo-Young or his boss? Is he just jealous of the attention the young boxer is getting from his boss so he wants him that bad? So many questions! Sorry for bothering. I hope someone could help me understand the plot. Thanks :)))
