I see people saying that the old guy is confirmed to be crushing on the MC, is this true? Like that’s a whole new level of low if that’s true wtf

Chapter 21.5 Q&A, that's "where the hell" blud.
He's called Seo-in's rival in english translation and in korean "sub gong" which means the sub-top or 2nd-top/2nd ml...
So yeah the guy picked up the child, helped him when he had no one and now has the hots for him. Add the fact that he feels indebted to Taegu and sees him as a really important family like figure and there creepy and yikes.

Everyone first of all even if the older man is confirmed as the second ml, he could really just be called that but used as plot device for the mcs to get together. So far Hes been a great man much more helpful than ml. And hasn’t raped him or emotionally abuse and manipulate mc. Hes only a safe spot for mc. to try to find flaws in him just so u can root for ml is funny. We all know ml is endgame, no reason to bring anyone down just bc they like the rival more. Also predator is crazy… ml is a rapist, loved orgies and was a druggie in the past. We can’t be judging ppl for their preference when this is all just fictional men anyways

Seo-in being trash and Taegu being creepy can be both true at the same time.
We all already know about Seo-in, so no need to go into detail about him here. But Taegu being confirmed as the 2nd ml by author means the grown ass adult who picked up a homeless, beaten child at his lowest and helped him is now into him. And Yeongwoon at the very least feels indebted to him and trust him which can easily make for power imbalancebetween them. So yeah people have the rights to be creeped out by this premise alone and it has nothing to do with how maron red Seo-in has been.

Yeahh right! I forgot about that and i mean if i think about it i shouldn't be surprised since he is a gang member and all but it's genuinely disgusting he pimped out the actor he is mentoring, it's obvious why Seo In sees him as typical trash. Another thing is that Haeyool looked like he was picked up from a bad past too, so for Taegu guy to still exploit him like that is terrible

Yea so my point is why are we even complaining lmao. Why are you so mad? Just fictional, at the end of the day if the rival being a potential groomer really sets u off idk why ur here when it started w a very red flag ml who is just as trashy. We haven’t even seen anything yet of the rival, so calling him all creep stuff is funny to me. Author could always change her mind. I’ve seen a lot of authors promise this and that and never even bring it back up
Are you forgetting the ml did the exact same thing? He made sure the third rival got raped jusy bc he got jealous and set the guy up. Stop trying to bring morals and values and stuff over here on a pirated website with a bunch of glorified rape, murder, loli and shota stuff. Funny as hell, go ahead and be mad and pop a vein over it idc just think u sound goofy

Again, Idk how your long whatabotism essay has anything to do with the points we have in story currently which can validly creep out people about a character. What does morals or any of the other things you've yapped about have to do with the fact that you're here bringing up Seo-in being absolute trash in a discussion about people not wanting to see a possible creepy attraction that can come off as very off putting or pseudo-pedophilic for them. Idgf about what you wanna read or not or whether it's fiction or not, your comments have been just attempts at veering off a very straight forward reply thread about Taegu by bringing up every other thing you can grab your hands on just to state your unrelevant to the discussion point for whatever reason.¯_(ツ)_/¯
Also people can pick and choose what their limit is to toxicity and fucked up story elements and when/where they'd be willing to read which. No one's "mad" as you wanna believe, it's just a group discussion about plot details that any consumers of any media in any form always have.

Sure ok, says the one that’s piss about the rival being a potential red flag, I’m talking about how hypocritical it is. You’re mad about the rival when the ml is just as worse. That’s my whole point. We’re going into a story with all the male leads being all toxic. Limit to toxicity is crazy… like the ml is a rapist and sets someone up to rape someone else but only the rival is creepy. I’m cracking up at your logic and how u have the “right” to be creeped out… like that’s your concern with how the story has been playing out ok… sure lick and choose what fits your wonderful morals ig. bring logic to a fictional entertainment story and be upset about a rival being a red flag not like the ml isn’t one too but whatever floats your boat and your justice bs

Girl no one’s hypocritical cause no one even brought up the ml. If you wanna talk about his ass go make ur own comment.
“Bring logic to a fictional story” WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LMAO?? If you don’t wanna discuss don’t go into the comment section because I promise you, people are gonna have opinions based on their morals

It is hypocritical, you’re complaining about the rival when the ml is just as worse that’s what I’m talking about. Why do you always keep brushing that over? If you really cared about your morals or whatever then you wouldn’t even be reading a toxic story in the first place that’s hilarious to me. Looking dumb asf. I can discuss whatever i want, it’s a public comment. As u are allowed to have your opinions, I’m allowed to say it’s dumb lol

I keep brushing over it CAUSE I NEVER MENTIONED THE ML WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, NO ONE SAID HES A GOOD GUY. Omg these coke rants girl you need to take control of yourself making shit up. Unlike you when I read something my morals don’t just disappear you weirdo
keep responding tho I’m on break and love arguing lowkey

Why are you so mad lol, yelling and saying I do coke just bc u don’t have anything else to say. Sounds a lot like projecting. Youre so dumb and silly, I brought up the ml bc it’s funny to be complaining about the rival yet again I have to reiterate bc the ml is just as bad. It’s like watching a horror movie and being mad there’s jumpscares. This started off as toxic story with rape like… your morals don’t disappear but ur reading a story w the ml being a rapist first of all… u look dumb asf ngl

No you look dumb asf cause your whining about the ml and excusing the old guy being attracted to someone he met in middle school at the same time. How can you whine about being hypocritical when ur the most hypocritical one here.
Bottom line is, I can read whatever I want and complain about whatever the hell I want. If there’s rape, I’m gonna complain, if there’s weird old guys being attracted to people they met in middle school, I’m gonna complain. AND I’m gonna keep reading the story, why? Cause I’m curious how it’s gonna end that’s why. And in the next chapter, I’ll probably complain about something I dislike again too.

Lmaooo ok go ahead and do that, I’m just going to point out how stupid it is. How am I hypocritical? I am not excusing anyone, good gracious it’s like I’m talking to a really slowwww person huh. I’m not excusing anyone’s actions lol, I’m saying u look dumb for complaining about the rival that yet again why do I have to keep repeating since ur like a child and I have to speak simple so u understand me when the ml is just as bad. All of them are bad. That’s my whole point. I mean that says a lot about how insignificant and fake your so call morals is if you can dismiss rape. At least idgaf about anything knowing it’s fictional and not pretend to protest about fictional entertainment that doesnt even add up to my pretentious values. Fake wokeeeee

Omg u actually can’t read. I will go really slow for you.
No one mentioned ml
No one defended the ml
Just because no one mentioned the ml does not mean they condone his actions
When you brought up the ml, people responded by saying they think the ml is just as bad. But since my original post was about the old man, they’re choosing to only focus on him.
I did not mention the ml because I was asking a simple question if he had a crush on the MC and making my disgust known CAUSE ITS WEIRD.
I did not mention the ml because he has nothing to do with that question.
No one dismissed rape, once again ur making shit up, you damn weirdo.

I’m confused can someone spoil the novel for me? The ml isn’t necessarily a red flag just a….asshole, to the point where the mc loses his will to live omg. I just wanna know if the mc easily forgives the ml for how he treated him? Based on the comments defending I can see he has trauma, but that’s not an excuse.
Does this have cheating or playboy uke/ seme?
I hate when a character plays around while the other has feelings for them and then just quickly lets it go, is this what happens in this story?
Just read it and nope it doesn’t (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
The uke, Yes he's exactly that type. Playboy uke, first chapter make it obvious too when the guy he fuck around with catch feelings and being clingy he immediately stop seeing him. Ig the only exception towards those "rules" Are seme
I mean in the first chapters they aren’t a thing at all and the uke did say he can only do casual relationships, but he’s pretty loyal when they get tgt
