Read up to chapter 20, I was really curious why Sia childhood friend genuinely liked her but was acting different. And now I understand he wanted to protect her because he said he was weak and he knew Ari had the upper hand as Sia lived with her but that shouldn't have stop you from defending her atleast from other people who bullied her.
You got to caught in this delusion that you didn't realize it was too late and already put distance between yall, this is his own doing even if he thought it was helping sia (it wasn't; maybe at first?).
I don't know if he'll get worse but I hope he'll realize and acknowledge his mistake and stop being so angry, I don't want to be bias because ik he does care for Sia but I want him to have a better approach and apologize for what causing. You were too late and you only realized that now that someone else came in.
Edit: Also I doubt other agree but it's very obvious Kwondo was gaslighted by Ari, he even kissed her thinking it would protect Sia, so I'm wondering if he truly didn't know the full extent of her bullying. What are yall thoughts
As much as i wanted this to end already but this is the best chapter ever from this story as far as i am concerned. I have so much going on with my own love life right now like literally i am in the verge of calling off my engagement and i thought i needed to hear this today though ive been seeing and hearing signs but my delulu self wouldn't listen. Lmao. Kidding aside, i think loving someone wholeheartedly and letting them go at the same time is still as beautiful as loving them while you're being in a relationship. Painful yet still pulchritudinous picture. It takes a lot of courage and self awareness to come forward and let the person you love the most go and choose your self choose happiness for yourself then hope for things in the future that everything will be fine that one day there's come a very special person who will make you happy and you will feel loved again. This chapter is just very well written. Cain you may be just a character but you are a beautiful one, and I'll love you for as long as im alive.
I get what Jooin wanted, he saw himself in Cain. Like when Jooin let himself get walked all over for Yawhi to be content with him. He knew living for someone else is not the way to go, and so he freed Cain from that burden. I know people wanna be like “Jooin is so dramatic/Jooins dragging it on/Jooin is leading Cain on yet again” but Jooin is the only one who can give Cain closure with a proper breakup. I really like Jooin, I didn’t want him to end up with anyone because both options were unhealthy, but if Cain comes back after finally living life for himself, then I wouldn’t be upset if they got back together. Jooin is so misunderstood, I hope every little Yawhi dick rider learns to put themselves first like Jooin did throughout this story lol.
The difference between Jooin ending the relationship with Yahwi versus him ending it with Cain is that, with Yahwi, based on their dialogue in previous chapters, Jooin realizes that he does not love Yahwi anymore. What he feels for Yahwi is more pity or compassion than love. He cares for Yahwi like a friend/brother. While Jooin's decision to break up with Cain is solely based on his belief in Cain's older brother's words; Cain's love for him is synonymous with a mental dislocation. Fairly speaking, Jooin believes that Cain has gone awry.
I kind of get where the author is trying to go with this story but then again the breakup feels incomplete. It feels incomplete because only Jooin and Yahwi had a complete breakup ending based on Jooin's realization of his feelings towards Yahwi. Well, Yahwi has become someone he feels sorry for. While with Cain the breakup feels more incomplete because the decision was made based on a third party's opinion about their relationship; in this case Cain's older brother.
I wonder how will Jooin react when Cain's younger brother or older brother confirms to him that Cain is, in fact, not crazy, but is simply in love with him. Boy, that'll be extra depressing to read.
I can't argue with the fact that Cain's love for Jooin should have been written differently. Well, what's done is done. But, the reality check Cain needed to hear the most was to acknowledge himself as a human being, not as a dog, and to learn how to live in the present as well as to learn how to love himself first. And Jooin was able to convey that to him.
At the end of the day, the choices made right now will finally help them all move on and heal from this burdensome poisonous experience. Jeez, don't we all need that!
But, the author being the author, I won't be surprised if his end game is Jooin and Yahwi because that's what they've been shipping for since chapter one.
Hot take but I feel like jooin reacted like most people would when being faced with the choice between two people like bro was an over thinker with low self esteem who was in a toxic relationship like cut the man some slack. I think this story is so frustrating for people because jooin is just very human like people are complicated and don't always make good choices. I actually think it was a good choice to make jooin end up with cain instead of going back to Yahwi because even though he has changed he still at one point treated Jooin badly and he shouldn't be forgiven just because he changed. I would have like to see Jooin grow as a character on his own before getting with cain but we can't win them all ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I can't believe I'm saying this but i actually like jooin here. He was always indecisive af but he knew what Cain needed. Cain needed to live this life as Cain and not a dog he was in the past life. Thanks to jooin, Cain has overcome the past he thought his entire identity was about. Good job jooin. And good for jooin too. Often times we see the MCs identity just being about who they end up with etc etc but jooin has emerged as someone who didn't tie his identity to any of the potential partners. Good for him and good for Cain and as much as I don't like yahwi I wish him well too. He behaved bad, day after day as a result of his trauma but that doesn't excuse his actions yet I hope he gets therapy and gets better. These last few chapters showed Jooin's growth way more than the entire story did and honestly I'm happy for him
Just FYI there is a endgame, it's confirm by the writer. So looking at both closures I think Cain is still endgame because how different the closures are. Jooin left yahwi because of how badly he treated Jooin. While with Cain, Cain is the one that actually walked away, not necessarily Jooin but the reason Jooin wanted closures wasn't because Cain is bad but because Cain was stuck in the past and Jooin didn't like that, he wanted Cain to live in the present and not give his life up just for love especially if it's based in the past (which it no longer is but Jooin doesn't know that).
I'm honestly so excited to see what happens next. Because despite Cain and Jooin going separate way THEY HAD THEIR FIRST SNOW!! in Korea a first snow means two people will be together forever in a romantic aspect and it also means a new beginning, as their closure was more about the past.
Idk what to grasp here. The fact that majority of "readers" can't comprehend the 'complexity' of the story, despite it being very BASIC or those who complain about toxicity yet are the ones who are wishing death on a MC who's conflicted with his own emotions, as most humans are. You all hate him, yet I see yall defend a rapist and a character with abusive tendencies. Yall wish his freedom but not Jooin?
.
Also don't know how Jooin is the bad guy here when he's giving Cain a reality check he needed. Cain needs to stop being in the past and live for himself in the present. Don't give up everything because you're in love. This why Jooin wanted to met Cain, not to break his heart.
As much as i too think this was dragged to hell and back, they're FINALLY having a healthy and proper communication. They're expressing what they need to say to each other. Even with the yawhi convo (which i believe is Jooin completely cutting things off with yawhi) Jooin's finally communicating what he needs to say in order to get where he neds to be as a person.
I actually agreed 100% with Jooin. I get why he wanted to see Cain again, and everything that he said was absolutely right. He does feel something for Cain but they aren't on the same level. Cain loves him deeply and Jooin can't feel the same. It really would be a toxic relationship if only one side is truly devoted. I still wanted they together but only if Jooin could love Cain the same way that he loves him. I just hope that at this point Jooin doesn't end up with Yahwi either
Yall realize that these characters are just really realistic right? People saying join is annoying, can’t make a decision, but that’s how any person would react in that situation. It started of smutty yeah but the plot is good it’s just more emotional now. The author is definitely thinking about a good ending that will give everyone what they need. It’s a great story tbh
Jeez, Jooin not falling in love with Cain is the most crazy unrealistic thing. Literally the perfect man.
I was today years old when I found out that people really think Jooin committed infidelity... How when he was never in an actual relationship.
people are so funny. they read love triangles and then go around sl*tshaming the bottom whenever he's with one guy after being with the other. if you don't have the capacity to understand how love triangles are supposed to work, then it's better not to read them. jooin did nothing wrong, people are just bitter

I never thought I'd post a comment under this because a lot of comments are also very negative. So many webtoons follow the exact same beats especially when it comes to love triangles. Weak willed MC is in love with toxic ML who just uses him. A second ML comes along who's nicer it seems like he is the obvious choice but MC will end up choosing 1st ML after he admits his faults. That's what I was expecting, it seemed to be following that destined track.
But no, every character made mistakes because they are young idiots who can’t communicate. And now they are addressing it. Jooin realizes that Yahwi took extreme advantage of him and needs to let me him go to heal from the trauma. Jooin also realizes he took advantage of Cain’s feelings while in a low place, but didn’t accept that he didn’t get a proper send off. Clear communication is something you don’t get to see in webtoons, and I think its addressed so well in here. I don’t think the story is dragging on, it’s something us something we haven’t seen before. As far as the conclusion…. There might be time skip and maybe after that there can be some reconciliation, I wouldn’t mind that because hey that literally actually happened after some breakups. But I’d be ok with an opened ended future for Jooin, I think a lot of people won’t like it though
Jooin ends up alone team! BTS did tell you to love yourself before anything else
This pretty ass demon made Yeongwoon met him after an orgy. Like bruh clean up the table at least
Woojin really needs time to himself, learn ots okay be alone and not be so dependable on others but nothing is worse than him realizing he fucked up and betrayed Taewan, yet continued to do the betrayal right after realizing. He's still at fault, not just Minho.
Why are ppl suddenly hating cain for giving jooin actual kind words/ being "poetic" when even in the earlier chapters, jooin and cain has always been poetic w eachother? Jooin even compared cain to a spring rain. Why are you all mad that jooin is getting kind words from cain instead of being verbally abused by yahwi
Yahwi crying so hard lmaooooo guess what? Trauma is not a license to make someone miserable. Jooin leaving Yahwi is the best thing he did and him realizing that Cain had always treated him right is the redemption of this story. That's realistic so suck it up. LOL
That was beautifully written. I love how Cain and Jooin are actual soulmates, they're so perfect for each other. Also Cain is literally so sweet omg
