I'm actually proud of heesu, he's matured into a fine man with a fine head on his shoulders, never expected seungwon to change so drastically (specially him drinking so much and stuff, but well they're young) but it pains me so much that heesu doesn't really smile lately. Heesu is a ball of sunshine and he'd do anything for seungwon and I know that it's not that seungwon doesn't care about heesu or that he doesn't love him anymore because I know he does but he really needs to reassure him and stop hiding stuff from him. He probably feels it's unnecessary telling him about hojin or other stuff for example, but keeping your lover in the dark is the WORST you could do specially when you don't even see each other as much and don't even share the same lifestyles (since they go to diff universities and have diff social circles as well). Heesu feels that wall and that distance, I'm honestly surprised seungwon hasn't realized how anxious and frustrated heesu's been feeling when it's so obvious, HEESU DOESN'T EVEN SMILE AT HIM! HOW MORE OBVIOUS CAN HE GET? For seungwon who's supposedly head over heels to be so oblivious about heesu it's honestly depressing, he honestly believes things are alright and keeps acting the same way while our baby heesu keeps hurting.
I can't say I'm not enjoying this because it will honestly help them mature in their relationship as they grow older but I didn't sign up for this angst ╥﹏╥

I love the tension that's rising, the genuine fluff between, and the heartbreaking past memories the duke carries with him.
I truly love he duke's character, it's very real and the fact that he's improved so much for Areum and because of her but keeps being him makes him a really good character. The pain he's been carrying his entire life for not knowing love, the pain and excitement of knowing love for the first time and being scared of losing it as well, and his usual yandere character vibes when realizing he's capable of keeping it forever by turning Areum into a vampire... that panel specially really gave me chills. Then the foreshadowing when Areum told him that 'doesn't he like her the way she is now?' while he's been drugging her with his blood and other stuff... goosebumps.
I'm genuinely scared and excited and that's something.
I can't wait to see what's going to happen next, with both the pills he's been giving her and the whole contract about the duke falling in love and stuff.

SPOILERS AHEAD
According to the novel, the spoilers I read at least, the comic has now gone in its own and isn't following the novel properly anymore, or is it still following it loyally?
From what I read, after the fireworks display, Athy decides to go home once more (she sneaks in, I've forgotten the reason why) and meets with Claude by accident. They talk, like actually talk and it's then that Claude decides to accept her even if he doesn't remember her. Time passes and it's Athy's birthday party when Lucas arrives, and grants her Claude's memories as birthday present. So from what I read, this whole "Jennette relieves Claude's pain" and her showing her gem eyes doesn't really go according to the novel, but maybe the spoilers weren't complete or were they wrong? Can someone who's read the novel spoil me properly??? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

I made a comment a few hours ago backing the Duke up aND HE BETRAYED ME, ALL OF US AND AREUM.
I'm conflicted now because I'm enjoying the cute and fluffy moments between them now that Areum has realized her and his feelings, but the angst that's coming... I'm actually really looking forward to Areum snapping the heck at him but I'm very disappointed in him. I still love his character, I just wish WISH he would have kept improving instead of this...
I still understand were he's coming from and everything he's gone through, but it still doesn't justify his actions. I still like him, just disappointed in him like I said.

CALM DOWN! He was thinking that, there's a good chance he won't go through with it and actually ask Areum about it! He's been showing so much development it'd be a true shame for him to go back to his forceful ways (although he's still forceful but in a different way from before). I truly hope the author doesn't follow through, Areum is getting there but not to the point of her turning into a vampire for him.
Although I'll be honest, that's the kind of ending I wish for, so that they aren't killed. BUT I WANT MUTUAL AGREEMENT!

I honestly think he is going to go through with it. He is a lonely and desperate man, he might feel guilty but he'll certainly try to tie her to him for life and not regret it.
Also, I don't think it's going to work since she's essentially a giant void, meaning she not going to be either light or dark; just emptiness. So, I think he gonna try but ultimately fail.

I actually feel that because she's empty it's precisely why she could easily turn into a vampire. I'm unsure of course since they haven't really explained how or the process (considering it varies from story to story) but I'd still want it if Areum does as well!
And I do see your point, my wish is for him not to but he could easily be swayed by his feelings and just go through with it. I can't blame him, considering what he's been through, and he's even aware that Areum wouldn't forgive him for a good time period as well... we'll see.

I actually think she wouldn't be so against it if they were both really into each other and he HAD ASKED HER FIRST.
Sadly, I've read the next 3 chapters now and realized he actually went through with it. I'm conflicted since she's realized her and his feelings now, and they are actually really cute and getting along... I can't enjoy the fluff knowing the angst that's to come... it'll be a big blow for her knowing he's secretly transforming her...
It's so bad it's good, you're in for a really good laugh it's ridiculous (≧∀≦)
