Can we please just skip to the part where bloody hair gets sent to prison and Jiwoon gets sent to therapy? This is too much stress on my heart. Jiwoon is obviously doing this out of love, but obviously any sane person going through that wouldn’t see it that way, and their relationship used to be good, so I don’t want it to end just cause Jiwoon went coocoo for coco puffs. Suha is pretty much a prisoner at this point, but I’m more fearful of their relationship than I am of his safety which I guess is a good (slightly better) thing. I want to see what bloody hairs next move is because he is the objective threat at this point despite Jiwoons method of love being a ball and chain. I wonder how he’d react if he literally can’t find Suha anywhere, or if he does find him and he’ll like break into the apartment or something. Or more likely Suha will struggle harder the more Jiwoon tries to control him, he’ll somehow sneak out, and that’s when bloody boi will catch him. This is so stressful but entertaining nonetheless. Mangas like this are why I have to read lighthearted comedy romance bl’s at the same time just to calm my nerves.
If this story is gonna continue down the path it’s on of “I left this horrible person because he’s horrible but doing that gave me a lOvE JiNx so I guess my only option is to start dating the abuser who hasn’t had a personality change since he was an evil fucking child.” I’m gonna be so flabbergasted. There better be a switch up to save this story because it’s on very thin ice. I’m praying that Haegyung develops a backbone, realizes that Woojin is an actual sociopath, and just refuses to play into his game. Also praying that said switch up has something to do with park whatever blue haired dude, and that whole drunk situation was a hint to them forming a relationship instead, and being the main couple. Because I really don’t rock with yaoi characters having some unwavering attraction to horrifyingly toxic people.
We just gonna gloss over the fact that Woojin physically assaulted him cause he was mad? That he was borderline choking him out? Is it a point of attraction to randomly prove that you can be physically domineering over someone without their consent? Like he was literally hurting him? Like the fact that his first interaction with him on this day was “Hey, I waited for you outside your work without you knowing and saw that you were interacting with the ex you hate so I’m going to painfully bear hug you from behind and tease you about the fact that I’m causing you physical pain.”? Also the fact that dude is basically stalking him at this point since he always popping up to forcefully do whatever he wants to/with him? Alrighty then. This is fine. Totally the basis for a good cute healthy non-abusive relationship. I’m sure it’s totally okay to make the MC’s reason for avoiding him that he’s just afraid to fall for him again, and totally not that he’s an evil abusive psycho with no regard for others feelings. I love it when yaoi characters willingly fall for horrible people, get screwed over by their horrible ways, and then continue to deal with their horribleness until they stop being horrible rather than not falling for a horrible person in the first place. Great stuff.
The only thing that’d save this story for me is if the author has some ounce of realization that this isn’t okay, and actually cleverly subverts expectations by not making Woojin the main love-interest, and actually giving him real impactful consequences for being… the worst. But I really don’t have that much faith.
Kissing his Adam’s apple was something I really didn’t think would get me but damn, that was *chefs kiss*. Also, I wasn’t even horny or anything throughout this chapter, I was just unbelievably happy and excited that ho-in wasn’t failing at the blow job despite it being his first time and they were both enjoying it. It’s so weird because my attitude towards this is so different from my attitude towards any other yaoi. I get ecstatic at the tiniest bit of development with this and I was sitting here freaking out over a blow job when I’d consider that same old same old with any other manga. I think it’s the way the author created their personalities, interactions, and inter-personal relationships. This just hits different for me. Every aspect of the story so far has felt like it had a real impact and I just love it a lot. Also I will always adore the undeniable consent, especially when it’s their first time together. “Full Volume” did this extremely well too.
If the first and second couple ever need to duke it out for the company, I’m leaning far more towards the second couple. It seems like they’re working harder for it, and they need it/deserve it more, whereas with Kyuho and Kangha, it’s like it’s much more lenient with them. They’re conflict as of right now is basically “my parents will like it if I’m dating a rich boi so I’m gifting this company’s shares to you and I don’t like that someone’s flirting with you at that company”, whereas Choi is thinking about his past trauma with the press and being underestimated and treated as though he’s some child with a silver spoon that doesn’t know anything, and he’s doing his best to work his way up in life at his own accord and using his family for good in fighting corruption and stuff like that. It just has the general vibe that they’re experiencing this whole situation in a much more serious fashion than the first couple. But I still love both couples and really hope that they realize that the ceo of that company is trying to pit them against each other for more money, and they end up working together somehow. I really don’t want them to have to fight each other for the company, but if they do, I’m Team 2nd Couple all the way.
To me the first couple should get it cause kyuho wants to leave his family but can't cause he needs the uke to save him by having enough money to make his family let him go if u remember in s1 the whole reason he took down his family was so he can be free but he still ended up trap with them so if the uke is rich he can leave but still have a comfortable life also the first couple literally took down his family and other bad company and exposed them both couples was Fighting corruption
The reason why this is so gross is because it’s the only aspect of their relationship. Obviously there are couples with kinks like this, but there’s always love and aftercare involved with it. But when it comes to these two, everything’s just very unhealthy. Yeonwu’s unhealthy for being so pent up over a guy that he can literally get abused by him and still adore the ground he walks on. Taehwan’s unhealthy for reveling in the fact that he could break another person down and they simply wouldn’t care. I still think Yeonwu was gross for taking advantage of his sleeping friend like that even if it was just a kiss, and Taehwan is so toxic that it isn’t even funny. They both have a lot of shit that they need to deal with before their relationship could even be considered okay.
Yeah that’s why I’m saying both of them are contributing to their unhealthy dynamic. It’s obvious that Yeonwu loves Taehwan and wants a relationship with him, and it’s even mentioned that he’s only putting up with being a sexual object to Taehwan because of how much he loves him. But that’s just severely unhealthy. I mentioned in a previous chapter comment that I hate how it’s become a norm for bl/yaoi characters to fall for someone obviously toxic and horrible, and they have to wait for them to become better people rather than falling for the obviously better and healthier option in the first place, like Alex. It just makes me feel like romance is dead for the gays.
Why do people have to be so nosy and loud mouthed? Like how tf would you know about the presidents secret child? Who tf are you to be spreading a rumor like that? Why tf would anyone be interested in that when you aren’t close with them and just spilled a drink on their shirt? Why was that knowledge imperative to know at that exact moment? Have you ever tried putting the shut to the up? I think you should try putting the shut to the up.
Wow, this was the most mature take on non-communication I’ve ever seen. Like it’s not just characters being dumb and causing problems for themselves and being ignorant for the sake of moving the conflict along. Hyuk acknowledged that communication should be the first course of action, but he was also self-aware enough to know that he wasn’t ready to dive head first like that. He had actual reason for him not communicating, and I honestly love it a lot.









“This is the end of our need-based relationship……”
“Why do we keep misunderstanding each other?”
Idk dude, mayhaps because you took several long pauses, waited for him to start crying and whimper out multiple sad sentences, with a little bit of deprecating self inflection before you felt the need to clarify that you wanted to date him for realsies this time. Maybe that’s why lmfao.
