I remember saying Ian most likely see his mother in Toby and I noticed Toby tends to be in purple lighting in scenes with Ian, similar to Ian mother, Ian does has purple eyes as his mother. It's nothing serious but a very interesting detail. I do like Ian and Toby relationship, Ian definitely needs some platonic relationships rather than romantic too. He's been alienated majority of his life and I wish to see him become more freely.
Chapter 59 reminds of how Ian used sex as his sleeping pill, a very unhealthy form. I find it interesting that this is shown to us after chapter 58 where we actually see Ian start to have a more healthy form of sex, not using sex as a pill or coping mechanism to forget issues he doesn't want face. I think Jo has shown Ian bits of simplicity and stability that Ian needs in his life. It might not last long, as there's more upcoming plot with Jamie, but despite it being short, it's definitely what Ian needs right now.
Don't think this is even worth uploading the story got so bad that even korean readers are saying the author doesn't know what they're doing. And the author knows it's a shit show because they released a new wholesome story in May, she need get off Pheromone Phobia lol, but the new manhwa had be put on hiatus after 9 chapters because of the author needing to fix Pheromone Phobia lol so if it ends rushed you know why
I like how the phantom pheromones/music(?) dance and swiss around Chris, even giving him a kiss (CH7). But I'm worried because Ralph seems like a good lover and partner. I mean, an omega can have two alphas right . I was hoping Ralph and Phantom were the same person but they're definitely not.
-
Idk much about the phantom seems like a good guy but homie... "don't allow anyone touch you, you could've fight back" you saw what was happening too, could've done something (even with your pheromones). Take a step back.
Edit: ch.8 Chris happily explaining about omega at first glance will recognize their fated pair. Oh its foreshadowing Ralph might not he his after all (or maybe he has 2 *cross fingers*). Chris might even be conflicted by it and feel relieved, but regrets that he feels that way because he build a connection with the phantom (we all know he's Chris fated pair let's be real) while in Ralph absence.
Edit 2: chapter 16 piss me off, chris piss me off...I feel so bad for Ralph. Then after doing that to Ralph it leads to Chris having physical sex with the phantom (ch18 judging by the thumbnail but I need know what happen in ch17) but regarding chapter 16 does the phantom just let Chris get assulted then just kill them afterwards? Why aren't you intervening when it happens!!
For those who are curious; Chris get injured/fainted on stage. Ralph goes looking for him and goes to his dressing room where they tell him Chris is seeing a doctor, Ralph barges in (thank god) and the doctor under Chris dress, it looks like he's checking him but he's actually assaulting him with his tongue and fingers. Then Chris acts like he doesn't know Ralph . Chris asks to be alone and Ralph drags the doctor out who insisted needs check Chris injury (sure dude). They leave but Ralph over hears Chris talking to the phantom.
"You look tired"
"It's because I sang with all my heart for the angel (phantom)"
"You snag beautiful"
"The angel heart, Did it cry?"
This paranoids Chris because before barging in he heard one the ladies say Chris sang like he was falling in love for the first time. That she felt love (in his voice).
Ralph barges in to see who Chris is talking to but Chris is gone and runs looking for him and runs into the doctor as he grabs him the doctor is struck with a knife to his back (through from a balcony). It end there.
But damn I feel bad for him because just image you hear and felt like your supposedly fated partner never really felt love with you when you both believed yall did and to be shown that he doesn't remember you? Nah that irritated me, yall can call Ralph ugly (looks better in later chapters) but he's a kind man who sadly, I think will turn red due to anger and might hurt Chris later (which seems to happen alot in bl just to make the ML look better).
God I hate emotional cheating. Chris basically "broke up" with Ralph by saying he didnt remember him before physically getting with the phantom. Good writing author smh.
Esp after seeing ch16 then remembering the beginning of ch1... all the span of 7 months, less than a year... I was hoping for two alpha getting along with each other and the omega loving them equally, really ruin it with ch16.
I will suffer for you, I'm nosy and might still stay around. Save yourself. And you're welcome thank you for appreciating my spoiler♡
OH HELL NAAAHH
I was still deciding whether to read this or not but if this is what happens I don't know if I will, or at least I will stop before that point. I can withstand the ML being an asshole if I like the plot, but what I really CAN'T stand in a story is when the one in the wrong is the MC, the one I'm supposed to root for, and the thing I hate the most is the MC cheating (even if it's only emotional).
Somebody please let me know when/if this situation with Ralph is solved
Exactly. I knew something was gonna be pulled with Ralph gone and the 'angel voice' being Chris emotional support *rolls eyes* I seen this too many times. I don't know Chris and Ralph full relationship it it does seem like they are indeed partners and I'm thrown off (in some cases not all) he allows to be taken advantage of without a fight, the doctor scene was an obvious one, and the phantom not even doing anything about it until after, like really dude?. Currently there's only 33 chapters at the moment, I'm following the korean one since I can view it (only has 19 chs). Judging by the thumbnail of 32-33 I think I'm right they're gonna make Ralph a red flag (as if Chris wasn't a contribute to his emotional state).
Thank you for the spoilers I seen the raws but didn't know Korean so this explain a lot. I was low-key hoping for a thruple situation or a mutual breakup if it came to it but I guess imma drop it I don't like cheating tropes and I don't like when authors turned good guys bad just to make the cheater look better. Feels like a cop out. Thanks again!
Feel like many miss the point of chapter 56. Tj monologue led to the scar scene for a reason. This isn't showing how strong their bond is. It's showing how tj used this moment to let Ian believe he is in debt to tj when it's built on a lie. Tj was not there save Ian as Ian thought he was. So hence tj saying the "debt = insurance policy"








I remember when ch22 release I saw so many say they like Dohee/Heeji(?) and Dongwook better than the main (couple). Let's be real they just hate size difference and age gap. Then ch 23 released and they were so quiet because of how Dongwook disregarded/disrespected her and her disabled brother, how disgusting. Then how he push her to the wall and was close to hitting her too (he deserved that slap how he was speaking about her brother). At least Taehe wasnt rude like that and never did that. Even if it was pity, he was never so rude and treated her well, despite not catering romantic feeling towards her.
Tbh at the moment, I don't think Taehe never played her along, as those "friends" say, he was always upfront with her but she got too cared away (and I understand her; taehe was probably the first to ever help her?). I just hope she can get along with our sweet ajumma lol pls don't let this be women against women.
Those are just haters it’s so obvious they don’t want the age gap like there’s noting wrong if they are adults it’s bad if they met when the ML is minor or in early adults like 18 or 19 but Haesoo get to know him now that he is adult so their relationship or soon to be deep relationship is valid.
