I just saw this phrase, and I have to agree. I tried to disregard it before, but it's become crystal clear that Hyesung is the comic relief - the fool, the underdog, the misfit. No one seems to take him seriously. He is loved, yes - but he's also overlooked: his pain, his trauma, even his existence as a person. How can anyone just disregard his feelings?

Now that the conflict has been settled, is this what you'd call a healthy family? Was it ever a healthy family to begin with? Lying, supporting someone your partner cut out of his life - how is that okay? Was it because it is Hyesung? Minimizing Hyesung's importance has been the go-to, right?

How long can Hyesung keep letting this slide? When will he finally have the power to navigate his own feelings without being swayed by his family? How long must Hyesung stans wait before our boy is taken seriously? It’s exhausting. It’s infuriating.

Until then, fellow Hyesung stans, I'm fully dropping this manhwa. It's not like I'm here for Byul's story anyway. It's always been Hyesung.

I was deluding myself into thinking that Byul would not use Hyesung's past actions as something to equate with his grandmother's neglect and betrayal. I understand that he is a teen—a hormonal one at that—and wasn’t really thinking properly. I don't want to dwell on why he tries to understand his grandmother's side of the story and not Hyesung's.

He was hurt, keeping to himself the discovery that Hyesung had once abandoned him—I understand that, I truly do. Hyesung did raise him well, pampered him, spoiled him, and maybe was even willing to give all the galaxies to his child if he could. Byul knows that Hyesung loved him dearly. However, I could not find in myself any sympathy. I understand him, but I also disliked the situation he had created. Curious, he was. But I hope he understood that his curiosity had a reason it was hidden from him.

I do not want this situation to be the reason for Hyesung to forgive his mother. I want him to be strong and stick with his decision. Not everything can be solved with forgiveness. It pains me that he is still in his postpartum state—we don't know what he'll do, what he could do, or ultimately, what thoughts could swirl inside his mind—of his husband and his child. The trust he had had crumpled in a single text message. I wish they would treat Hyesung’s traumas and his very self as something valuable. Just because he is funny, a little screwy, doesn't mean anyone can just disrespect him.

Hyesung is a complex character—layers upon layers of suffering, guilt, and trauma buried beneath the happy life he could hold in his hands. But slowly, those layers are starting to surface. I want Hyesung to crash out, to leave, and do whatever he must to make those people understand the severity of what they did to him.

Omegaverse or ABO is probably one of my least-liked genres when it comes to BL premises. I steer away from any stories that contain it—especially if they include MPREG. I was sure I’d drop it the moment I discovered those themes.

However, the reason I stayed and read the entire story? Huimin’s personality. He was the light of the manhwa—like a breath of fresh air. He wasn’t like any other MC, and an Omega one at that.

Communication, finally, was the star of this show. Although there were still misunderstandings and secrets, Huimin’s unflinching personality was fantastic. Their dynamic was just as great. So so glad I didn’t drop it. Highly recommended.

I was here before, talking about Hyesung and the possibility of him learning about the betrayal. Honestly, my opinion remains the same—I still couldn't care less about any other characters besides Hyesung.

As someone with a petty side, I do wish that Hyesung stays firm in his decisions and priorities. I just hope it doesn't reach the point where he has to forgive his mother simply because he feels he must, he had to, right??? Because his only family supports the woman who abandoned him.

What frightens me the most is the idea that this arc might paint Hyesung as the bad guy—what if Byul learns that Hyesung abandoned him when he was still a baby? You know, this will never be Hyesung's fault, and I know full well where the root of this all began. No one can make me believe that Hyesung is as bad as his mom or that he has no right not to forgive just because "he did the same." If he spirals, I'd understand—it would be the only valid crashout, I’m afraid.

But whatever his decision will be, I'll always support him—always team Hyesung!

This is re: his future with his mom + people calling him dumb. I started reading this in hopes of getting a glimpse of a happy Hyesung. I decided to finish the main story—not because it is well-written or the story is fantastic, but because I want to make sure that Hyesung gets his happy ending. In my case, I am like a solo stan. I couldn’t care less about anyone in this story except Hyesung.

It pains me, really, that people minimize Hyesung as a dumb, stupid, and annoying character—which I can agree with to an extent because, let’s be real, he has his fair share of those moments. But that stems from something deep and ugly. I reckon not everyone can fully understand him and his traumas. I’m not a psychologist or anything, and I’m not saying Hyesung is flawless. However, he can be the perfect representation of a person carrying a heavy emotional load, and his decisions are affected by those burdens. I’m not going to name others here who are loved but have also had their share of toxicity. This is about Hyesung.

Regarding his mother, I am deeply upset with Byul and Dojin. However, I understand where they are coming from. That said, I know where this will lead: confrontations and the unfolding of the truth. The truth that Byul was abandoned too. And this will spiral into Hyesung taking all the blame once again—always the punching bag.

Yes, I am biased. I can be one-sided, but Hyesung deserves only happiness. And it is on his terms when to forgive those who have wronged him. I hope they don’t force him to forgive and create this façade of a happy family.

Preferrably manhwa that focuses on the plot. Something similar to Traces Of The Sun and maybe Red Candy. Romance can be a subplot or super slowburn as long as it centers on the story. Thank you!

i will honestly be fuming if euihyun is pregnant (I'm still at chapter 71). i am tired with stories where omegas are forced to carry a child when they are in a situation—mentally and physically incapable of handling (and had no choice but to accept and love them). i am so tired of authors adding pregnancy trope during a crisis as an addition just because...idc if they want to make the story deeper than hell. it's too much tbh. i just need a breather where euihyun gets the respite he needs. after all the struggles he had gone through, he needed freedom, not a child to chain him and lose himself more.

(this is offmychest/venting, sorry)
