I don’t get why people seem to believe Seungho is somehow redeemable yet no one even considers Inhun could turn into an ally even though, I’m reality, he’s much more redeemable.
Without wearing a bias lens you can see that Inhun is the lesser evil. Sure he will likely do something to make him even more unforgivable in the future (what with the plan he’s formulating) but at this point the biggest monster in Na-kyum’s life is Seungho.
I get that Inhun feels more like an antagonist or rival. His snake like ways are what we usually view as villainous. But let’s not forget that Beon loves plot twists. So far they don’t seem to write completely one-dimensional characters so Inhun is likely to have some decent character development, and it might be positive rather than negative who knows
Because Seungho’s current behavior is probably caused by something in his past that hurt him. He does really terrible things but idk I like that he doesn’t at least try to pretend like he is a good guy. While Inhun is sneaky, greedy and uses people as he likes, I really hate double-faced bastards like him the most
Tho personally I’m not sure if he’s redeemable at this point...
It’s not that seungho is better it’s just he isn’t putting on airs about being good he has a horrible personality and does horrible things yes but his intentions are clear and his character is less complex to understand. he is a tyrant and cruel but the teachers intentions aren’t clear and so far we’ve only seen him mentally control someone he knows is in love with him so we are yet to truly see his characters full personality
Cause most people don’t care as long as the seme is hot ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ he can rape, manipulate and abuse, but people still will ship the couple
I can’t and I don’t want the lord in a relationship with the painter, he can redeem himself and get the hell out the cutie’s life
Inhun is much more redeemable as he's not murdered and raped anyone (that we know of). But he's not interesting in terms of conflict. But, ideally, if I had my way, neither of them would get the kid. Kid has been used enough. However, as others have said, S doesn't make bones about how he's an arrogant, brutal, hedonistic entitled jerk. I pretends to be "noble" of character, while he's just opportunistic and as willing to use the poor uke as the seme is. Sneaky is nasty to me. But he's definitely done less awful stuff and is closer to redeemable. However, storywise, isn't the redemption of someone really shitty more dramatic/interesting than the redemption of a guy who is a sneaky, ambitious twit?
I'm on cutie's side. Period. If it can be adequately worked out for cutie to be supremely happy without any more abuse---I'll buy it. I just can't stand to see him tortured. Makes my heart hurt.
Inhun really is NOT more redeemable. He is driven by hunger for power, he looks down on everyone around him, and thinks he is perfect. A great example of this is when Seungho goes to seek him out and Inhun says that he doesn't bother teaching the kids because they are meant to be farmers so there's no need for them to learn numbers and such. In that moment you can see that Seungho disagrees, thinks the better of arguing with him, and instead continues to butter him up in order to get him to come to his residence. This is important because we see a glimpse into logical Seungho that is not being driven by the emptiness inside of him -- the narrative hints that he sees some amount of value in even farmers getting an education. Whether that's about social mobility or functionality in their current hierarchy, we can't know but it's not nihilistic like Inhun.
Next, the two are clear opposites in open mindedness. Inhun judges things (like homosexuality) which are different from him to be vile -- Seungho sees past the emptiness of that sense of perception. He also doesn't value class differences that much because it doesn't take him even a second to do the do with Nakyum. Also, whenever he mentions to Nakyum that he should be happy Seungho is being kind to him, it's not because he's a noble but rather because he is fairly ruthless and he is self-aware.
Anyway all this to say, if Nakyum was a woman, Inhun would have done despicable things to him already. He is not more redeemable simply because we have not seen his crimes as a part of the narrative.
Nice try to defend the lord lol but, have you forgotten he killed a guy in the first chapters? He stabbed one because he was in the way? He is raping the uke just because he is obsessed with him? If it’s not looking down on others and don’t know what it is. Inhun is manipulative and look down on poor people, the lord is crazy and even kills his subordinates, both are trash, but there is a huge difference between manipulation/arrogance and murder/rape
Yeah I'm not convinced. And I think your read on this is gross oversimplification. And like I said, we don't know that Inhun doesn't rape/murder. He's planning to go after Seungho as we speak. We are not talking who is better or ok, we are talking who is redeemable. I think Seungho is infinitely more redeemable because his behavior is in line with his status and mostly reactionary. We know he is deranged in a traumatized sort of way. What traumatized Inhun? That he wasn't born a noble? We are not applying our society's norms onto them. We are talking moral character
You can't argue from silence. We have not seen Inhun rape and murder. We HAVE seen Seungho murder and rape and use people. We've seen Inhunm make use of our cutie, but he hasn't brutalized him physically. If it was modern times, we'd say Seungho was a psychopath. Inhun is just ambitious and uses people (which in societies where advancement requires you suck up to those with power and money or you get nowhere as a scholar, ie you need a patron, just like artists, sucking up is necessary.)
It isn't Inhun with a sword out to kill someone out of a fit of anger. It's Seungho. It isn't Inhun requiring a blowjob in order not to kill someone.
Now, that Inhun may or may not have trauma, may or may not be capable of rape and murder--we cannot say yet. We simply have not been given the information. He's not likable, bu tthen neither is the murderer/rapist Seungho. He's interesing, but not likable.
Seungho looks down on everyone, too. He uses people. He kills people. He abuses his power. So, let's not make him out to be some misunderstood guy. HE's a psycho. And if you're gonna judge by the time period, then Inhun's behavior is not inconsistent (ie judging homosexuality and looking down on the uneducated).
Hmm I guess I just like Seung Ho's brand of crazy then. And no I dont think Inhun's rejection or homosexuality / sexuality generally is a correct reflection of the times. Them ancient people had tons of out and about gays.
Also nothing about Seung Ho screams particularly insane to me. He's volatile but he knows what he's doing and the consequences thereof. I like his brand of outright violence. He doesn't pretend. I find the pretend to be righteous trope far more insidious.
All societies have had gays. But not all societies saw them as equal or as good as straights. Even in ancient Greece, which had gods cavorting with same sex partners and art depicting homosexual relations, they had regulated relations and expected marriage--and looked down on "receivers" (ie ukes). Even now, China is not gay-friendly. You think it was gay friendly 200, 300, or 1000 years ago?
The fact remains that Seungho is interesting, but he's evil. And to say he's not evil is to be blinded by hotness or porn. He's evil.
But korea and Japan had pretty prominent gay culture (definitely in the joseon) and up until the ww2 in Japan. Like out in the open, considered a male thing, especially amongst nobility. This is not about china at all lol...
The issue with Inhun is that he has no business having an opinion.
And I'm not blinded by his hotness I just know which kinda problematic I'd rather deal with. In the 29 spoiler, Inhun went from shaming Nakyum for painting gay sex to telling him outright just to do it. Wtf kinda shit is that lol.
I'm not saying Seungho is not bad, I'm saying he is redeemable. I don't think he is evil for sure though so shrugs.
If Seungho is redeemable, then so is Inhun. Because, at this point, Seungho has committed more evil acts than Inhun. And Seungho is evil, unless you think rape and murder are fine.
Just give up lol he/she is clearly biased
Ya I hate assholes (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Yea this dynamic reminds me so much of a real life abusive relationship its getting scary. Like bruh he really sees Na-kyum as his property. "Don't think you're invincible because I was a little nice." Nice where bitch? where? This mf is making me see Na-kyum as more of a hero character then a simple protagonist because I'm just rooting for him to escape at this point. Then again the evil part of me wants to see how chaotic this powerplay between Na-kyum and Seungho can get cause its already wild lol
I do love, love, love that Na-kyum didn't allow Seungho to victim blame him, like yas honey that was a good bit. It's so nice to see a mangaka have the rape victim be the one to hold the rapist accountable. You really don't see that a lot in BL, especially in more romanticized BLs like this one. Bruh the social progress and Na-kyum's character development is just -- YES. I /really/ hope he did ditch his selfish asshat of a teacher to save himself in the latest chapter. His desperation feels even heavier now seeing what Seungho said, poor baby.
Btw did anyone peep the look on Seungho's face when he caught the old servant dude talking to Na-kyum? Like he looked ready to end that nigga. Dude if Seungho's already getting high-strung about who talks to Na-kyum he's definitely going to start isolating him if he catches Na-kyum. I'm deadass afraid (and maybe the evil part of me is a bit intrigued?) to see what he's gonna do now.
SSPOILERS
Seungho asked his servant, as soon as he saw that Nakyum escaped, where Inhun was and if he was gone too. The servant said he couldn't find him. So I'm assuming that this was a part of the plan that he suggested to Nakyum. So idk if Nakyum is entirely over Inhun. I think Inhun would have to betray him for Nakyum to do so. Since in Nakyum's head, Inhun has done nothing to wrong him.

Wait so like they ran away together? WTF? That would definitely explain Seungho's surprised pikachu face.
UGH you're right though, Inhun is still a weakness for him. I was hoping he just went into survival mode or something but man I did /not/ expect that o_o I wish Inhun didn't fucking suck cause I would be into them running away together otherwise >> just saying.
I have revealed your spoilers shit im sorry ; o ;
Why would they run to gather?!!
LOOOOOL its all good.
and @komiko I just think it was a part of the plan. Also, Nakyum was hacking and coughing severely after Seungho busted which 100% Inhun heard. So I think rather than Inhun being suspicious if he heard someone, he is more or less aware of whats going on.

I am so sorry for Nakyum but is this really bout to be some Harada route type shit?
This nigga said "I'm aware." >_> >_> >_>
But it was interesting that he tried to use that night as an opportunity to seduce Nakyum yet again. Yea I know people don't like ppl comparing this to other BL but this some Color Recipe type shit. Seungho's starting to give me Fukusuke vibes (the white-haired dude), he genuinely wants Nakyum's mutual affections but he has a cunning nature to him therefore he chooses to manipulate his way to Nakyum's heart, then he has another more forceful side, like an impulsive side that comes out of nowhere. Beon is definitely going an interesting route, though I don't want to compare this too much to other mangakas since Beon can be good with twists.
I think if people can accept that Seungho just is who he is they could enjoy his character. I feel like he has alot of chaotic neutral traits to him and that's why he's such a good central character for drama. I totally get people's anger tho, alot of people are angry because of what happened to Nakyum as well.
I agree with that!
Chaotic neutral is a good way to describe it! People would say evil but I think it's quite easy to understand Seungho. He gets away with violence because he's powerful and he uses it because he gets away with it. He's much more into optimizing his moves than really ethics which feels super chaotic neutral lolol.

People's reaction to this manhwa shows that the rape to love trope needs to die in yaoi in general. Y'all like "ppl should be used to this its yaoi" naw son that ain't the problem. We shouldn't continue to normalize romanticizing rape in yaoi, it's BECAUSE other mangaka romanticize it so much that people don't seem to recognize an asshole top when they see one. They couldn't even recognize him as a rapist until he was brutal and stereotypical with his rape. Y'all mfs should've stop trusting this nigga when he killed his servant with no remorse in the beginning.
Y'all should've stop trusting him when he raped NaKyum the first time but naw I remember half of y'all tried to pass it off as okay and still tried to argue he could change, that he is redeemable. That's because mangakas rarely depict rape accurately and almost never represent it in ALL its forms, or rather, they all excuse date rape as a lazy form of "romantic development" when its not. Reading this genre has warped y'all views of what's right and wrong in a relationships so let's stop pretending media don't negatively influence people's POV and spreads misinformation THANK YOU.
ANYWAY. I applaud the author for not perpetuating that harmful trope and going balls deep in the drama and pain. I applaud them for being consistent and depicting Seungho's actions as clearly wrong. More mangakas need to follow this lead and make yaoi better written and more progressive overall. I hate Seungho as a character but I love how he's written because he's truly an anti hero, he's a very accurate depiction of a sociopath and if y'all think this nigga gonna turn into an empathetic and gentle lover you might as well just drop this now because you're delusional (also if you don't like realistic rape, you should drop this for your own health).
I believe this might go the Harada route and I'm fucking ready because there's not a lot of mangakas that go as far as them but this person has got that potential. Seungho straight up has shown no remorse so far but even if he does he is going to continue to abuse NaKyum. Speaking of NaKyum, yes queen I'm SO happy I'm starting to see him be a man of action. It sucks that the teacher seems to be the fuel but I'm really hoping he will wrap Seungho around his finger and karma slaps Seungho in the face. It seems possible now and omg that would be some impressive character development.
Don't get me wrong I do want to know why Seungho is the way he is, it's been established that he is traumatized in some way and I don't think he is some basic antagonist. Like I said he's more of an anti-hero, he'll probably have a past that will garner sympathy for him. It'll probably be harder to hate him after finding out his past but Is2g if this goes the route of NaKyum "healing" him through love then I'm dropping this in a second. You can't heal someone like that with love, they need to heal themselves. Plus it's another overused trope.
I really want to know what Seungho was saying to NaKyum tho, it was slightly funny that he managed to get a boner right after being in 'imma kill somebody' mode lmao he a trip "You don't want me to kill your teacher then suck my dick right here." bet you he said something along those lines. Man, I'm only rooting for NaKyum at this point, I'm proud of my boy for resisting at least.
Umm, I've been reading some of your comments and I really really enjoyed every single one of them. I realized you enjoy characters that fight against disgusting tropes like rape and abuse, so I thought I'd drop this recommendation of a novel:
Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From The Trash Bin
https://www.novelupdates.com/series/dont-pick-up-boyfriends-from-the-trash-bin/
Idk if you prefer manga over novels, but I HIGHLY recommend something that defeats all fantasized tropes.
I recommend it to everyone actually. It's really good.
Finally someone understand lol jkjk but yes! I love that type a lot you got me right! I do read novels too (I read everything tbh I'm a fucking nerd) so thank you for the recommendation <333 I'm always looking for new novels to read.
Most comments have been saying the same thing, from what I have seen. I haven’t seen people saying Yoon is a the knight in shining armor. It’s pretty clear that this is a more realistic view.
The rape trope is popular mainly because people have rape fantasies. The problem is that these are uploaded for free for everyone (very young) to enjoy which is a huge problem. The target audience for these kinds of yaoi is for mature audiences. People with fetishes. However, it gets into the wrong hands.
The problem is most readers and mangakas do see it as rape in the first place to even claim they have that fetish. They see it as "passionate love" like the top just can't hold back, like he just can't help himself. This mindset is prevalent throughout all hetero japanese porn including yaoi which is written mostly by het women and is rooted in toxic masculine and sexist ideals. So it sucks and no unfortunately most fujoshi see it as regular romantic sex that's just a little more passionate.
Most of the ppl trying to defend him have left because reality set in I guess lol
*Don't whoops
This story seems very realistic and I am personally lovin it.
I haven’t really looked into het Japanese porn so I can’t speak from experience. I also can’t really get into Japanese and Korean culture in terms of how they view rape. That is a whole other story. My experience is that it is just a fetish for many who are into this trope and that they DO understand it’s rape. I think it is okay if people read these and still have a healthy perception with reality. The issue is when people confuse rape with passion, that’s an issue.
Again, my understanding is that these mangas are closed off from minors and they are pretty strict to who they sell it to, it’s bound and you have to show ID (from what I heard.)
Either way the messages sucks for anyone to consume especially considering Japanese society has 0 rep for queer ppl and it reinforces horrible stereotypes and crap about gay men. I know a bit about the cultural aspect because I've studied it. Thats why I feel so passionate about this issue. There's not enough ppl who do understand it as rape, just like shojo tends to beautify toxic shit yaoi does too.
“More progressive” societies with more gay right also have women producing unrealistic and problematic novels/erotica about gay people. Many of these women are highly educated adults, mind you. Amazon is full of it. That’s just something people with artistic rights and freedom do. Same with Japan. This mangwa is also produced by an adult woman, which can also be seen as problematic even if it’s more “realistic.” We can write essays about how problematic this is for many audiences who click on a free site and read it.
Still, people with normal intelligence should be able to comprehend that it’s not real and real gay people should not be associated with fantasy work, especially when produced by women who are not gay men. Hence why its targeted at mature audiences (usually with fetishes) and not people who don’t understand real life.
Rape romanticization is a common theme and trope in many erotica’s all over the world. That is because many girls and women have rape fantasies. Their work is influenced by these fantasies. It’s fairly common everywhere but Japan is more open about it. Even Western pre teen books have unhealthy rapey themes and these were not influenced by yaoi.
In terms of solution. Banning or saying it should be stopped entirely is not really realistic. People will always create different types of works, even when they know it is wrong. The only solution if for people to actually pay for it and support the artist. I am pretty sure the people paying for it are paying with their own hard earned money and are not easily influenced by fantasy work. They are finding things that they enjoy without it blinding their real world view. Younger audiences are more influenced by media.
Spoilers for Chapter 26

-----------------------------------------------------------
This is definitely going where I hoped it would and I'm fucking ready! I'm so glad I had faith and stuck with the mangaka, it was all worth it seeing NaKyum finally start putting his foot down. I honestly was starting to dislike him because I thought he was going the "weak and docile bottom" route but now I see that he can hold his own. And let's not diminish how bad ass it to stand up to someone like Seungho who could smite him in a second. I totally understand him being submissive in his situation but I feel so much better knowing he's not totally helpless.
I don't know what Seungho was saying but I'm so damn curious now. I'm personally still thinking Seungho is more sinister than love-motivated tbh. It's hard for me to see love as a powerful motivator for him. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely think that NaKyum is going to take Seungho for an emotional ride and he ain't ready, but right now I think he just can't come to grips with the idea of someone rejecting him. Especially someone he wants to possess.
Idk I'm conflicted, there were some brilliant Seungho analyses below that made me consider Seungho's feeling a bit deeper. Seungho is too complex and mysterious a character to leave it at that. And, shit, the author is so damn boss at drawing expressions you could read subtle emotions on Seungho's face that lie below the surface. With that said:
The date rape scene was quite beautiful looking back. Not in and of itself but through the eyes of a writer. I notice that Beon (the mangaka) will almost seem to write through Seungho's POV at various times, that scene somehow was portrayed as passionate love making w/o dismissing the horror of the act itself. It's because for /Seungho/ that was most likely the first time he actually made love.
One really good analysis said that Seungho's attraction towards NaKyum intensified during the date rape scene. I 100% agree, I think that's when he moved from fascination and fetish (getting off at fucking a lowborn) to genuine infatuation. Seungho is the epitome of a fucknigga so he definitely was just trying to get some ass at first but it's almost like he turned NaKyum out physically and NaKyum turned him out emotionally because he caught feelings strong after that lol
However, I read someone else say Seungho is like a fox. It's THAT part of him that makes me reluctant to go the sappy route. Seungho has an incredibly warped view of of everyone around him and NaKyum is absolutely the only person that's ever forced Seungho to confront more genuine emotions inside himself but Seungho still has a childlike cruelty about him. Reading the translation for ch. 23 you could see that he was reveling in the idea that NaKyum didn't know what happened that night. He enjoyed having that knowledge over him and was almost smug about taking advantage of him.
Let's not get things twisted, we cannot expect someone like that to have a similar moral compass to us. We can't project our way of empathizing on him too much because he does think more along the lines of a psychopath. I really think some people are almost down-playing his sinister tendencies by saying his actions are a product of the era/environment or that he had a troubled past, or even that he can't handle these new emotions towards NaKyum. This dude is a master manipulator who plays everyone like pawns. Y'all think Jihwa didn't fall under his spell for example?, that's probably why he's so obsessed with Seungho in the first place. NaKyum is a pawn that ended up being way more than Seungho bargained for, might even be his downfall, but Seungho will most likely try to keep him that way by any means.
What I predict (and hope for) is that there's going to be a BIG power struggle between NaKyum and Seungho coming up since NaKyum is showing he has a stronger mind than Seungho anticipated.
That is if Seungho don't kill his ass XD had a damn heart attack when he pulled that sword out at the end.
Sir or ma’am bless you for this comment and I appreciate the time you took to write this I totally agree
If the author ends this with Seungho killing NaKyum I’ll be disappointed
I don't think Seungho was reveling in Nakyum not knowing. I think he was "happy" and kind of excited and really wanted Nakyum to realize it. I get how twisted that sounds, but it was kind of his way of flirting and I think he assumed that Nakyum remembered at least a little. He keeps asking Nakyum why he doesn't remember anything and he even drops hints (like asking if he got pregnant or giving him medicine for drinking too much). I think Seungho miscalculated and got excited about Nakyums feelings in bed and didn't realize how much it sucks for him that Nakyum meant them for someone else. I don't mean this in a sappy way. I literally think Seungho thought he could have Nakyum after getting his body. Afterall, everyone else he's known has been debaucherous and fallen for his dick talent lol.
Like in Seungho's mind, at least a little bit, he's going damn I gave you the best night ever and you're not even going to like me for it a little??? What has that learned sir ever done for you???
I agree so much here. That's his twisted flirt and Nakyum is clueless. Frustrating him more, giving him wrong picture and he took the worst action to "refresh his memory".
And I think he's jealous of his learned sir since the very beginning and it's the sole reason he sook him out.
To me, Seungho is comparing himself with Inhun more than he realize. He was just curious about Nakyum's crush at first. But upon meeting and watching the both of them interacting, Seungho must be thinking "what does he have that I lack".
You know what, I just accused someone of dumbing down his character by claiming he was genuinely excited but the way you explained it makes me feel like a bit of an idiot for thinking there was no other way lmao. Even I said he has a childlike cruelty(and immediately went back on my word cause I'm mentally unstable myself XD), what you said supports the idea of him having a warped perception of love and, in retrospect, that makes sense for his character. You explained that theory SO much better though tbh
That would be much more interesting if that was his train of thought actually. Good point.
Hmm very true. Na Kyum is really turning out to be an Achilles heel for Seungho, huh?
.(spoilers)
Man I'm sure THIS got the point across about Seungho being a rapist
Whew chile! This may or may not be going in that HARADA direction. I'm sad my predictions were right about Na Kyum freaking out about the blackout rape but I had some hope seeing him fight a little and at least the author was consistent with their narrative since they were pretty upfront about it being non-con.
But damn Seungho snapped son, this could definitely turn into an abusive relationship or something. It's kinda fucked up cause you can tell Na Kyum was legit starting to get into Seungho painting them together and shit (idk if it was valid love but it was certainly a blooming attraction) and Seungho's dumbass ruined it by taking advantage of him while he was drunk af.
The only good thing out of this is seeing Na Kyum recognize that Seungho was wrong and checking his ass, standing up for himself for once despite the power imbalance. Seungho is definitely an unstable character but I always felt like he sees Na Kyum as a possession of sorts. Dumping his body like that man that's shitty.

Rather anticlimactic in all honesty but I love an author that can keep me thirsty y'know? Keeping edging me Byeonduck I love it.
Anyways, Seungho was certainly asserting his dominance this chapter eh? He really put teacher on the spot lol good. I hope Inhun is humiliated for being a homophobic shit (I still think it's internalized homophobia but either way). Na-Kyum seems to have trouble walking, poor boy, I take it he doesn't remember what even happened to him. He was black out drunk so I guess it wiped his memory. But yikes I can't even fathom how he's going to react if he actually remembers the rape? I almost want him to never remember tbh
I'm guessing Seungho threatened to reveal Inhun for the fake he is because that look on Inhun's face on the last page, whew chile, he honestly looks like he ready to kill someone himself. As I said before this mangaka is super good at conveying emotion and I swear Inhun had this mixture of desperation, anger, and resolve on his face that makes me feel like he gonna do something rash.
That face rivals Seungho's own more manic expressions, but there's something more chilling about his, more cold and sinister than insane. I'm thinking this might be a power struggle, sure it would be wiser for Inhun to submit to Seungho but I can't see him doing that. At the end of the day he technically isn't a low born and just like Jihwa I can't see him taking Seungho's crap without retaliating. His pride won't let him I'm sure.
Shiiiiit a well written power struggle beats questionable "romance" any day for me, even if I fall out of love with Na-Kyum and Seungho's dynamic I know this story will still give good drama in general. Inhun and Seungho are so opposite in personality that watching a rivalry between them would be lit!
More importantly,
Seungho looks really hot in black, it should be illegal for him to wear any other color than black, I wanted him to ram his dick down my throat in them hunting clothes, he went from Daddy to Zaddy in 2.5 seconds.
Okay I'm done.
Chillll
SAME THO
Alrighty,
It's obvious that some of us see the rape on chapter 21 as a conflict for the plot put there by the author as the catalyst for drama (I'm definitely in that group)
And some of us see the rape as some type of transition to legitimate romance with a happy ending (for whatever reason)
We are at a part of the story where it could go either way but I think we should wait and see what happens at the end of the month before further debating.
Chapter 21 was very polarizing for all of POTN's readers with regards to the rape scene. Navigating several pages in the topic section and it's full of everyone's rants (including mine). And you're right, we just have to wait and see once Chapter 22 is uploaded to know what happens with our pair (and before more debates spring up). A legitimate romance? Yes, possibly. A happy ending? I dare to hope, but I have a feeling this is one of those stories with tragic conclusions :( We have two antagonists waiting in the winds: one is an ambitious charlatan who thinks he is morally righteous (and hates everything Seungho stands for), and a jilted lover hell-bent on revenge. So...yeah.
I'm thinking this will be tragic after all is said and done. I think that Seungho and Nakyum will be forced closer thanks to their antagonists and while it won't be pink roses "romantic" it'll be interesting to see how things go if/when they start a serious relationship

It's confirmed that Seungho is indeed jealous of Inhun. Shit, fuck shit.
Y'all know what this mean? Inhun's bitch ass (allegedly) told Na Kyum to go back.
He threw that poor child to the goddamn wolves.
Did y'all see Seungho's face when he found out they ran off together? He deadass think they fucking I BET you. He look so shook I've never seen Seungho look so openly emotional like that. His usual emotions are serial killer, sex god, or -_- for godsake. Seeing him with that look tells you how attached he's become to Na Kyum (and that he didn't expect Na Kyum to be so bold).
Only gay jesus knows what the hell will happen to Na Kyum if he goes back. I really hope he says no and finally sees who Inhun is so he can fall out of love with him and find closure. That way Seungho can kill him instead or something (but let's be forreal Na Kyum would still grieve him ugh). He might even take it out on his servants for not keeping an eye on Na Kyum.
(⌒▽⌒) (⌒▽⌒) (⌒▽⌒)bitch I'm not reaaaady for Seungho's wrath.
P.S.
Inhun honestly looks hot without glasses.....man that hurt to say.
Oh woaaah :0
