I think that Minhyuk/Sooyoung is going to be one-sided. I understand that we sometimes forget about what the MC actually wants but if you look at their interactions so far it's clear that Sooyoung has no feelings for him. This manga has really beautifully expressive art, if Sooyoung felt something we'd see it on his face. All their interactions have felt platonic from his side, he doesn't treat Minhyuk any differently than his other friends and co-workers. All the googly eyes is coming from Minhyuk.
Don't get me wrong, it was incredibly cute seeing Minhyuk get all love struck when Sooyoung said he was cute, but Sooyoung has always been honest. Sooyoung wasn't blushing or anything, of course he finds Minhyuk attractive (who doesn't lol) but he's not attracted TO him. If you compare that to his interactions with Mafia Daddy then it's even more evident that he sees Minhyuk as only a friend. Next chapter is going to emphasize this fact even more, trust me.
The way I see it Minhyuk's love is destined to be a tragically unrequited one unless Mafia Daddy does something to hurt Sooyoung and chase him away. But even then who knows?

(there are spoilers for the most recent chapter)

Shit bout to pop off next chapter, I really want to see how everyone reacts to what Min Hyuk does next. I can't wait to read it in English finally since we get to hear more of Min Hyuk's internal thoughts. I love/hate Min Hyuk's sneaky ass, you know he bout to risk it all for Sooyoung's bussy.
That reminds me, I noticed a trend. Is it me or do dudes go absolute batshit after hitting that Sooyoung bussy just once lmao. Like Mafia Daddy got all possessive and was about to risk his reputation to murder Ji Song. Ji Song became even more obsessed over Sooyoung after hitting it and Min Hyuk....let's just say Sooyoung is causing a rift in the mafia family.
On the last chapter I think Min Hyuk was plotting something against Mafia Daddy. He said something like "Sooyoung is his weakness". Sure looks like he might be planning to take Mafia Daddy down through the new villains who also got beef with Mafia Daddy. Especially since he realized his love in unrequited, he sexually assaulted Sooyoung but still craved for Soo to come to him willing. Ever since it seems he's been consumed with jealousy, he knows Sooyoung really is falling for Mafia Daddy. Woo, damn son Sooyoung's bussy must be made out of fucking magic, he bout to start a whole gang war within the ranks XD
Anyway, I'm a little sad Min Hyuk turned out to be a rapey weirdo because they had such a good and almost wholesome chemistry. They even saved each other when they first met, I would've really rooted for him but oh well. I do like him as a challenging "love rival" though (even though I'm not sure if he's trying to kill Soo or not tbh) he stirs things up and he's hard to read, definitely an entertaining character. Can't wait for Mafia Daddy to end that nigga though, he's going to lose his shit I just know it.

Get away from my baby you evil white-haired pretty boy! Poor Suyoung just attracts nothing but bad boys I feel so sorry for him ( ̄∇ ̄")
I must admit the last scene was really well done! Minhyuk was like a predator slowly encroaching on his prey it was thrilling and ominous all at once. This development was planted from the beginning and it still managed to excite me. I think Minhyuk was attracted to him ever since Suyoung saved him but it's obvious that his interest in Suyoung magnified once he saw mafia daddy kiss Suyoung.
Minhyuk gives me psycho vibes and he seems to have trouble maintaining romantic interest with anyone so it makes sense that he would pursue a much more thrilling and challenging courtship. He saw how mafia daddy went apeshit over Suyoung, he knows how risky it is to lust for Suyoung, but it makes him much more tantalizing and tempting because there's an element of danger there. Messing around with the boss' lover has got to be a power trip for him, this guy is nuts I tell you.
I just hope he doesn't rape Suyoung in the next chapter, he probably will but one can hope he stops himself. I think he's hot but I get bad vibes from him, I don't think he's right for Suyoung so I personally prefer Tae-seung(Mafia Daddy) and Suyoung since daddy treats him right (I honestly never understood ppl cheering on toxic semes, it's like they don't care about the main character being happy or something).
Besides, it's obvious that Suyoung is developing feelings for mafia daddy. I love the part where he agonizes over another memory of Jisong abusing him but then the memory of mafia daddy kissing him pops up and he instantly starts blushing. It was fucking adorable seeing how mafia daddy's love is erasing his trauma, that's so romantic and touching. Not to mention how even tho mafia daddy is over-protective he still respects Suyoung's need for independence and gives him a safer job to support himself (even tho he wants to keep him safe in his home and be his sugar daddy apparently lmao). I
I think Minhyuk is super interesting but he ain't boyfriend material imo, I predict he'll be a pretty fun antagonist that will spice things up. I could be wrong tho, if he does decide to not be a rapist and actually tries to win Suyoung's heart I would be more on board with them being together.
Either way mafia daddy might end up murdering him for even touching Suyoung, I can't wait to see his jealous side

Yea I get you! I might seem bias but I'm well aware that Mafia Daddy's a morally gray character. I guess I'm just stuck on his really good character development because sadly dark webcomics don't always do a good job developing the love interest into a likable character. He totally was a dick in the beginning which is why Suyoung has his guard up in the first place, I just appreciate how much effort the author actually puts into writing a realistic slow burn.
There's no rape to love, no Suyoung falling for him out of nowhere, Mafia Daddy actually does the work necessary to get Suyoung to trust him and like him. It feels more realistic and sensible and isn't just a lazy romantic plot line with hot dudes, it feels more human I guess. Plus it creates much better pacing for the story imo. Not to mention Mafia Daddy actually feels remorse for hurting Suyoung and has apologized more than once when he crossed boundaries with him, he started showing respect for Suyoung after he punched him lmao jk jk
Okay, so maybe I /do/ have a soft spot for Mafia Daddy XD. Thanks btw, I'm surprised anyone reads my long winded ass summaries so I appreciate it <3

If only Nakyum would get with the Nameless bara dude instead, would be cute for him to change his mind about killing Nakyum after seeing his horrible situation. I do not expect that of course, I'm just kind of tired of Nakyum having abusive assholes as his only options. It would be nice if the dude turned out to be the /good/ option since we don't have anything even CLOSE to that yet. Hell, even if he ends up not being a permanent character I would love that plot twist, it would balance things out and give the audience someone different to root for.
I'm so happy Nakyum at least seems to be freeing himself from Inhun. When he said to throw that picture of Inhun away I honestly couldn't be more happy for him, and he did it with such a genuine smile which is rare to see. I just fear that he may fall into the same cycle of abuse with Seungho, Nakyum seems to be drawn to abusive sociopaths which probably stems from his own trauma. Even Seungho was questioning his desperation cause he knows he mistreats Nakyum smh.
Nakyum made an unreadable face at the end, let's hope it was him thinking with a clearer mind about this whole situation. Can't wait to meet the Nameless bara next season, hope he isn't just some boring villain cause that would be a waste of potential (and all that big dick energy). Wish bara daddy could do a 180 and help Nakyum instead, wishful thinking I know ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
This comment section had me rolling lmao y'all funny, I knew ch.20 would cause a rift. But I'm surprised to see how many people dropped Minhyuk, y'all must really care for our boy Sooyoung. Idk man I don't see a problem with still appreciating Minhyuk as an interesting character, his predatory and calculating ways are scary af in an exciting way. Still I'm team Mafia Daddy all the way for now, he's the perfect combo of domineering, psychotic yet respectful and soft towards Sooyoung, AND he can dick him down like no other, perfect combo! A pretty face ain't enough for me I love me some thick Daddy.
With that said some people in the comments seem to think ch.21 doesn't classify as rape or are just confused about it so I'm going to spoil a bit below cause this should be addressed.....
Someone said that the intercrural sex on chapter 21 was sexual harassment, that totally undermines the seriousness of how Sooyoung was violated. But what's even more alarming are people who seemed relieved and say it's NOT rape because there was no penetration. I'mma break down why it indeed was rape/sexual assault.
***Sexual Harassment is any unwanted VERBAL, WRITTEN, ELECTRONIC or physical conduct, of a sexual nature THAT IS MEANT TO INTIMIDATE*** It's not going into full blown forced sex, it is a /threat/ of a sexual nature. (Ex. like groping and cat calling)
Both what Minhyuk did in this chapter and the next is a build up to sexual assault/rape. Almost textbook actually:
Sexual assault means an actual or attempted ///sexual contact/// with another person without that person’s consent.
>Sexual assault's definition includes a lot of what Minhyuk did:
Involvement in any sexual contact when the victim is unable to consent.
Intentional and unwelcome touching of, or coercing, forcing, or attempting to coerce or force another to touch a person's intimate parts (defined as genital area, groin, *******INNER THIGH******, buttocks, or breast). Yes, that includes thigh fucking.
Sexual assault includes sexual contact with a person who is unable to consent, either due to age (under 17) or being **INCAPASITATED** (e.g. as a result of /intoxication/ or the influence of other drugs).
>Some of his actions are defined in the definition of rape too:
Subtle or overt verbal or physical /coercion/ is used to TRICK someone into having sex.
It is automatically ASSUMED that someone wants to have sex **because she/he is drinking heavily**, dresses in a certain way, or agrees to go to another person's room.
So there we have it. I understand it's fiction but when I see people genuinely argue that penetration is what constitutes as rape the Sex Ed nerd in me just cringes so hard. That is one of the oldest and most harmful myths about rape and has contributed to real survivors being ignored or belittled by the justice system. When I see people not understand rape beyond penetration the problem then bleeds into reality and it's concerning.
I beg y'all please read up on rape myths. There are young ones on here (who ain't suppose to be) reading this stuff, don't spread harmful misinformation about a serious crime. It's okay to like Minhyuk or whatever but let's not glorify the rape or spread rape myths. Overall I'm happy that a good amount of people seemed to know very well that it is indeed sexual assault, that gives me faith.
P.S. On chapter 21 he actually does entice Minhyuk in a drunken stupor but Sooyoung says a certain name in the middle of it, so clearly he was too delirious to recognize Minhyuk.
And y'all know whose name he said ;)
