Just in case you need the lore to realize how fucked up this actually is (mostly from Dojin's side). Hyesung's mom abandoned him with his abusive dad so she could hook up with a new man and didn't take him with her because she didn't want her new family to know she already had a kid. The direct consequences for that were
1. Hyesung having to move out early so he could get away from his dad
2. Because he moved out he also had to drop out of high school and in this world there's already discrimination against omegas so I'm sure you can understand how much harder it would be to get a job as an uneducated omega
3. Almost getting tricked/forced into sex work multiple times
And this isn't even all of it this is just some of the worst stuff that really affected his life. In the main story when she comes to see Hyesung after she saw his face on tv they have a conversation about why she did what she did and she basically ends up blaming Hyesung for not seeking her out (he literally thought she might be dead) because the ABUSIVE dad said he didn't want to so she never, in over decade even tried to make contact with him. After this Hyesung kicks her out and says he's going no contact.
Dojin was witness to this whole scene and even comforted Hyesung afterward. Which is why this is all messed up. Yes, Hyesung did end up abandoning Byul for the first few months of his life (he has his reasons but that's not the point) however, that's where the similarities end he made an effort and he went back and has spent everyday loving Byul and trying to make up for it even with his new baby he still feels pain and regret when he remembers what he did.
Yeah, I do think Byul is lowkey being a brat since he's been loved from all sides since basically day one. But, I'm gonna give him a pass cause he's a kid and what teenager hasn't said stupid shit to their parent and he really doesn't know the full story (though idk why in all those years since he first overheard that conversation he hasn't wondered why Hyesung would need the money but he's not sharpest chopstick in the drawer so whatever). Dojin can die though I have been a hater from the very beginning and I am glad to see that I'm still justified.
And yeah fuck Dojin there has never been a time where he's truly ever respected Hyesung, I knew that before but it's really sinking in now. What did the Park family do in a past life that all their kids ended absolute shit cans. Now the curse is even spreading Byul.
"But you never listened to her side of the story" the why doesn't negate the fact that he was hurt in the first. Byul is being a brat but I can give him a pass because he doesn't know exactly how the abondonment ruined Hyesungs life aka not being able to finish school, almost forced into sex work multiple times, and worst of all getting stuck with DOJIN PARK. Fr fuck this series for trying to make Hyesung have a relationship with his shitty mom again I still remember what she said in the side stories.
And fuck Dojin for always thinking he knows better than Hyesung and hiding shit from him every single time it's like he never learns and Hyesung is gonna just forgive him for it because this series is FUCKING STUPID. God I love Hyesung so much and he's stuck with the shitty ass Park family and I'm so pissed I don't even wanna read this anymore. Now I NEED Fargo to learn how to write and never ever make Hyesung even meet the hag again please I'm praying!
“but you’re not gay” he says to the man he’s been having sex with for months
I absolutely love the focus this story has on it’s side characters you literally never see this outside of side stories or a quick few pages
Please please please anyone know where I can find the novel for ‘Into the Rose Garden’ NU only has 9 chapters and I know it’s completed just DM it to me. Extra points if you know where the latest chapter is at!
I've heard some pretty shitty things about this story so I never gave it a chance but I actually really like it. Don't get me wrong the first season definitely made me cry but going forward it really had me kicking my feet and giggling.
Lmaoooo sorry I can't stop laughing at Athy's earrings they're HUGE
“Let me be clear I only hijacked your visit and kidnapped another kindoms queen to sell him. Almost sparking a war between a clearly stronger nation. And I would’ve gone through with it if our father hadn’t messed everything up. But I don’t regret anything.”
Also got some serious ick from the Elon worship. I don’t expect someone who doesn’t live in the US to know much about him but if the author did literally anything besides skim his Wikipedia page. They’d know he’s a moronic nepo baby, do better not every billionaire is a “visionary”.
“My kids eating ice cream instead of talking about boring shit with adults what a disappointment.” I hope the story fixes the dad’s attitude cuz I’m starting to really not like him.
If you wanna read the novel the manhwa is currently at chapter 34. It's really easy to find literally just type in the name and look it up.
Just don't fall in love with her, she still looks so much like your sister that she's a replacement for her
