Love (that involves respect and trust) cannot be about lies, secrets and manipulation until you're forced to tell the truth. We understand why Taehon hid the truth from him but it was wrong. Period. He had time to tell Sejun the truth and he didn't because of his guilt over a terrible secret. He was a child then and a victim, yes. But so was Sejun. And as adults Taehon chose to treat Sejun as if he was still 5 so he could perform the rescue he couldn't then but in the process made Sejun a victim of others machinations and manipulations all over again.
He has every right to feel betrayed and to conclude that Taehon was only using him. If for nothing Sejun should have had the choice of deciding if he wanted to become this emotionally entangled with someone connected to the most traumatic, painful part of his life. I for sure wouldn't. There is not enough therapy money or good dick in the world.
(I mean OBV I want them to end up together. I am here for the fucked up storylines and over the top angst. But if Sejun heard this story and his reaction was "OMG, you really do love me. " I would have thought he was deaf or crack addled.)
I agree Seme should have told Uke the truth once they met
These webtoons are so funny with these bottoms waking up thinking it was all a dream. HOW. Is your ass not about to drop out and off? Please.
I can't believe we went through that FOREVER flashback arc which ended in death only to return to a present that brings the same characters and readers back to (what feels like) the exact same point. It's a repetition of all the same beats. I get the story logic of it but I find the repetition tedious and bereft of all tension. Alive, dead, whatever, all I want at this point is a solid development in which the characters get to do and be something else damn.
I feel like this wouldn't have been so frustrating iif the chapter hadn't ended here
That's true. That long flashback arc was essentially an extended cliff hanger and it ends only to drop us into another one *immediately* like what. Get me out of here.

So, I'll share a link: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7292083/. For a quote:
"Female ejaculation or squirting is a well‐known phenomenon among urologists, but there are no scientific articles on mSQ, despite this term being widely used in mass media. In this case study, we describe the first recording of mSQ using color Doppler ultrasonography. We show that mSQ is a phenomenon in which urine in the bladder gushes out from the external urethral orifice due to strong contraction of prostate and pelvic striated muscles, if penile stimulation is continued after ejaculation. These results provide the first scientific basis for a publicly known phenomenon." msQ= male squirting
*Anyway* back to the story:
We are truly at the bottom of the barrel when someone wearing a condom and being a considerate human being is "sexy" why am I still here with this story. Sigh. :(
Where is the badass omega that opened this title? All he does now is bow to whatever this asshole wants. Why are creators' imaginations so limited when it comes to writing for omega characters. Those slaps aren't impressive if it's just going to be followed by a whimper and a "I have to do what he wants to save my alpha cry cry." Come up with a plan, ffs.
Wait & see...
Still there but with child, ill, and under extreme stress that could cause a miscarriage is he isn’t careful… no one is strong one hundred percent of the time and expecting that to be the case shows you are the one lacking creativity sweetheart. This take is horrid but I understand where you’re coming from so I’m not even mad. A lot of omegaverse Will whittle down their previously incredibly powerful omegas just to make the alpha look better. This isn’t one of those though. He is strong for standing up to him in this situation. He is strong for not caving despite the manipulation. Incredibly strong for trying to protect the love of his life despite being heavily pregnant. A lot of omegaverse would use this chance to make it so HE was kidnapped. The plot is plotting, don’t hate.
If I could like a reply I 100% would.
He is still there, however as the one above said, he's pregnant and ill, and under intense stress. He's also experiencing what's called a trauma response, which is basically the way the body and mind react to triggers of trauma. He was so traumatised by his alpha forcing him to miscarry previously that he's basically in a panic any time that piece of trash threatens or comes near his child. He's still a bad ass bitch, he just needs some serious therapy or that piece of shit to vanish if you know what I mean.

Ffs understand and analyze the story and the characters first b4 u say something stpd
Okay but why does the child have to be present for Hot Grandpa’s Bigoted Dinner Hour? He doesn’t have a nice maid they could have left him with?
I was thinking the same... kid doesn't need to hear the disrespectful speech. (￣∇￣")
also he's probably gonna hear there that seme is also his father and the uke hasn't told him that yet...
The boss was very obviously out of line on every point like what do some of y’all mean. Doesn’t turn up when he said he would, doesn’t explain why or apologize, then verbally harasses him about a potential job decision that is professionally and personally none of his business unless and until his subordinate chooses to make it so. Our boy overthinks, sure, but the boss is an inconsistent jerkwad and always has been. I’d have told him to do a lot more than “shut up”.
He is not the worst red flag I've read but somehow he comes off as so sinister. Ugh.
I leave the comments that I do for stories where characters say explicity, in officially translated English: "No." "I don't like this." "Wait." "Stop" With clearly drawn expressions of anxiety, of distress, of coerced physical response. And readers who swear on their ancestors graves and their favourite soda that "This is just fiction" and "Everybody knows what they're reading" will reveal the exact opposite. So here we go. This is long.
In sexual relationships, consent is present when it is *clearly* communicated: whether that's vocally, in sign language, however the parties involve best communicate. When anyone communicates "No" and the partner does not stop, does not check in with their partner but continues to have sex, the experience has become *nonconsensual*. It's not dubious. Where is the doubt in "No"? You are not a psychic. You are not a god. You do not have access to the partner's inner thoughts. It does not matter if their genitals have turned into the largest waterfall or the biggest mountain in your country. No means no, *unless* the partners involved have agreed to a sexual relationship in which they role play dubcon/rape scenarios and have a safe word that either will use if they want to stop.
Even *if* a partner involve changes their mind after they rejected another's sexual advances before *at best* the situation is a coerced sexual encounter and still a violation. Why? Because the person tried to assert their agency, their will, and was ignored. They were rendered powerless and any decisions made in a situation where you feel you cannot control what happens to you because the other will not listen is *compromised*. It is violence.
We know there are dubcon stories out there but *key aspects* of evaluating those stories is a lack of a "No" or similar rejection of the advance AND the reader having access to that character's inner thoughts. In thise case we would know know exactly what Woo Won is feeling, his uncertainty, hesitation and so on. None of that is present in chapters 59 or 60. What we get is Seo-An's thoughts which automatically put the reader in *his* position and makes us more sympathetic towards him rather than Woo Won. Some comments here play into another big myth: that partners in romantic relationships can't rape each other or there's some kind of higher threshold they have to meet. If they are already in a relationship and love each other if someone says "No" he doesn't really mean it, they must mean something else it, it must be maybe, not now or 5 minutes later, or let me shower first. In chapter X Woo Won was into it so he has to want it now no matter what.
All of that? It's rape logic. It's rape culture.
Look. It's okay to read fucked up stories. It does not make you a bad a person. But it is critical that we understand what we're reading. If you refuse to recognise it in a webtoon on a screen you're reading in private how the hell are you going to do so IRL?
BL is filled with stories where characters say, "No" "It hurts" "I don't want to" "Stop" and then the couple falls into a happily ever after with no consequences. Or the characters, say "No" and then later "Oh, I didn't mean it, tee hee" without the writers showing the couple having a discussion about what they're into sexually, how they get off on dubcon, and so these are the terms. These are unrealistic normalizations of dysfunctional abusive relationships, for the most part. Some writers are good at writing these taboo situations because they understand the dynamics and what gets readers gagging. But most of the time, imo, indulge in a careless romanticization of rape and an erasure of trauma in a world where sexual violence is not taken seriously, especially when partners are in a queer relationship.
Please search for resources on this issue. There is nothing wrong with being "rape-sensitive" ffs. Everyone should be!
Did you have the same feeling when Woo was eating seo’s ass and seo said no? Cause I didn’t see these keyboard warriors then.
Oh I'm very sorry. I forgot to report to random dumb fucks in the comment section to record all of my thoughts on every chapter of this webtoon. I'll clock in next time, brat.
Weird way to say you didn’t care then but okay. Way to stay consistent.
I started out wanting Ian and Joseph together. I know so many prefer the lead that will have man dodging bullets and being targeted in his enemy's gangbang revenge plot but I love the sweet and supportive type who bakes bread and takes his man out to watch meteor showers, always!
