Re-reading this after Jinx, I kinda feel that Alex wasn't that big of an asshole - or at least not as much as I remembered. Mingwa reaaaaally wanted to have a super red flag top and she finally did it over there.
I expected the toxic top trope because that's what the author likes and I'm okay with it (it's her story, it's fiction, all good). But the part when JK yeeted the gift Dan gave him was like "oh boy, you little bitch" and I just wanted to slap him really badly.
Like the fact that Taeju is wearing his house slippers on the street because he must have run out that door so fast when he heard his boy was drunk. And the little flinches from Euihyun when he tries to not react to what's going on and keeps playing dumb.
Then again, what did he get from the neighbour? Is it a heat inducer? I'm high-key hoping it's not, but I'm also low-key hoping it is.
The top's family background? Did anyone else find that...??? I don't know how to describe it? Like, yes, I'd get why the top would subconsciously think it's better to hide things after being traumatised like that, but... It was unexpected. Having said that, I really liked this. Not the friend tho. Wish they'd have stopped that part before it got that far.
It's the communication for me. Figuring yourself out, finding someone to rely on, taking your time... It was great.
Time for EH to make his move. And if his move is to literally kick TJ's ass and beat him to death (almost) for being a coward (and then nursing him back to health), then so be it. I mean, it still makes perfect sense for TJ to feel every single pain in EH's life from the moment he attacked him in the car is his problem and responsibility, and I'm not sure he's emotionally mature to aid EH in his recovery. But dude... Siiiiigh.
I didn't mind they switched into a more common trope, the way they looked at and cared for each other was so sweet.
"I'm in so and so restaurant with the guy that looks like you but with brown hair."
You know what? This is my favorite comedy of misunderstandings. If Tae wants to keep justifying the crazy-in-love things he does for Seonwoo because he "misunderstood", then fine. Go on babe.
