Aww man, look at that cover art hehe
ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Thank you again, N0NStop-nim! Love you! (●'◡'●)ﾉ
He's a black hole. A freaking singularity. What's darker than black? Vantablack? Yeah, that (⊙…⊙ )
It's written to be cringy and pervy bc therein is the comedy. But seme's a green flag and that's refreshing. Besides, Seonn knows how to handle him.
Anyway, the spoiler I saw on insta:
The baby looks like the chibi seme with less hair and more drool (≧∀≦)
Not you planning to mount our precious pup on the floor?! (︶︿︶)＝凸
Baby was even thinking of breaking his piggy bank for you (╬￣皿￣)凸
Mingwa-nim's using the same formula, she just ramped up the rage baiting and general horsefuckery
┑(￣Д ￣)┍
True closure, especially in romantic relationships, is about facing your own negative emotions in the face of ambiguity and uncertainty.
How fortuitous it would be if life lines up in such a way to allow for the "perfect ending" (can there even ever be?) but humans and situations don't fit in boxes that way. Sometimes seeking that external closure only prolongs your own suffering and becomes a crutch or stall tactic that keeps you from doing the actual self work to move forward.
Just some real life advice after reading this chapter ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I know everyone's talking about the final chapter but I just want to appreciate how beautiful the drawings on Chapter 79 are... the bokeh, the light & shadow contrasts... what's it called, "chiaroscuro", I think? They both look especially handsome. Had me scrolling & gaping & forgetting to actually read the chapter (￣∇￣")

And in response to JH's heartfelt words, YO asks if JH needs anything more than the USB (Not sure if he's playing dumb or mocking JH for not following through his own words?). YO sobers up and reminds JH how, months back, he couldn't even force himself to lie about liking YO, yet now....JH cuts in to explain, but YO says he can't even picture himself being happy with JH right now.
JH says YO doesn't have to answer him now. He simply felt it necessary to let YO know.
"You just felt like you had to tell me now...?" YO remarks how JH has it easy while he himself has to agonize each time he wants to pour his heart out. He reminds JH how, not too long ago, YO begged him to say the words he's always longed to hear. Despite knowing full well they'd just be empty, YO still wanted to know what it was like.
Even if JH means what he says now, YO's not one to take things in stride. Anything JH does or say can either lift him up or bring him down, and always he's too helpless to hide it. Even rubbish news can render him restless. He hates that he feels this way and there's little doubt he'll continue to do so.
YO says JH will remain important to him and that even though he's regretted falling in love, there were still happy moments to look back on.
He adds that even now, he still has feelings for JH. However, he maintains that he still wants their ties severed, and YO proves so by declaring JH's sudden appearance serving as their third and final meeting, burning the bridge that JH has been mending. He asks that JH keep his promise (that this will truly be the end).
With this, they part with good memories. As YO begins to walk away, JH grabs his hand.
"You said you still have feelings for me," JH pleads, but YO has nothing more left to say. He looks at JH for the last time, squeezes his hand in goodbye, then lets go. JH watches him leave.
*
Having put enough distance between them, YO pauses for a cigarette. Tears well up in his eyes as he recalls JH's admission of wanting to make him happy.
On his flight back home, JH, too, thinks about YO's admission to still having feelings for him. He may have not gotten what he sought, but a flicker of hope remains.
***
[Six months later...meaning, it's either August or September now? Meaning, YO has celebrated his 26th birthday and we weren't witness to it. Meaning, that's a long damn time without sex, but I digress]
YO's hard work rewards him with continued success, and the same is true for JH. Having been victor in the now concluded trial, he is set to take on the mantle of vice presidency.
*
Elsewhere, JH gets ready for his inauguration. On his wrist, he wears the only other thing that YO has given him: his Christmas gift. Which...kind of...looks like...he's wearing upside down?
On the way to the ceremony, a massive banner catches JH's attention. On it is YO's character.....from the production filmed the last February (I think?). JH gazes at YO's face.
[END]
Kwon, love looks good on you.
Anyways, author says the end is nigh. 2 more chapters? 7?
And oh, Kwon's birthday is tomorrow! You ain't getting laid, my lad.
Ty for the update. We went from Ch 3.5 to 4.5 though...
Either way, the story is intriguing and spine-chilling. And the tragedy tag scares me
Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
For years and years, never has a manga left my heart twisted in so many knots, or left me so thirsty for more.
Nakwon and Mokhwa's autotranslated names from the comments in the raws are Paradise and Cotton. I can't unsee it now ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Back when I first started to read this, I didn't expected it to evolve into such a deeply emotional journey. My heart ached for them and I was worried how this would end. But it was beautiful. Such a lovely, poignant story.
Mo only let go of the fire extinguisher when he fell asleep... in the closet... (≧∀≦)
Please don't misunderstand our sweet uke's behavior as cluelessness His self worth is completely shattered. Behind every line of his monologues & dialogues, to his obsession with posting on social media for validation, to keeping shitty 'friends' and people in his life who continue to deprecate him, reinforcing his low self esteem, are all signs of deep depression and trauma He so desperately wants to be loved, at the same time doesn't believe that he's worth a thought or care from anyone else. The manhwa's doing a great job with this story. Thank you so much for the upload! Also the chibis are adorable! I highly recommend the novel if you want to go deeper.
