I think some ppl here forgot that the bot (srry, I'm bad at remembering names) has some psychological issues, particularly in recognizing emotions. It's not just some "can't get a clue" moments, but it's a really serious issue. Like what we've seen in the last chapters that he doesn't seem to feel or recognize what the top was trying to say. He doesn't even think at first that what he has done is bad. And he can't even ponder his emotions well.
However, this is not an excuse rlly since the top got hurt plus the abuse he's facing with his family. The top really needs a healing time and a proper apology. He deserves the best rlly. Really need a chasing arc. Come on, bot, get ur man back.
That's why I'm hoping that the author does not just let the story end with just them being together again and living like some Cinderella sht. I want the author to explore the complexity of human emotions. I want the author to address the bot's emotional and thought processes because he really needs therapy. I want to see the progress of the bot when it comes to dealing with and recognizing people's actions. Y'know the bl manhwa Rivalry/Opposite Attracts? The top there was also having a hard time recognizing feelings, and I really like how the story gradually shows what is the reality of those with kind of symptoms. They really showed the complexity of it and gave a perfect flow on how they deal with it.
I also want to see the top resolving his issue with his fucked up fam. Him getting away from his aunt and grandfather's reach. When the old guy gonna die, anyway? And, of course, I want to see the bot and top be proud, happy, and gay as fck. Want to see them grow together and fck each other 24/7 w/o protection, in diff positions, with fountain scenes, begging for more, and live happily and as gay as possible ever.

Bot doesn’t need therapy, lol the fuq? He’s neurodivergent to a tenth degree, most likely autistic with how he hyper focuses, is over analytical, struggles with social interactions, doesn’t grasp emotions or emotional responses to his logical blunts behaviors, etc while yes, bot needs to chase. Top also needs to understand he’s in love with a neurospicyness individual

I think u misunderstood me in the part that he needs therapy..... I didn't mean it in a bad way like those black flags ml. I mean it in a way to help him understand more his emotion and thought process. Getting therapy is not a bad thing because this could teach people to "adapt" to their surroundings to create a more secure environment and develop a sense of belonging.
As what u have said, he's most likely a neurodivergent, that's why I'm saying he needs "therapy" because it might help him understand himself and express his emotions more in a positive manner.
Well, I do agree with your point that the top also needs to understand and adjust to the situation of the bot. However, I also want that they both need to give and take in this relationship. Not just because the bot has underlying issues, the top has to adjust and accept. Let's remember that he had experienced abuse, and until the last chapter, he was still experiencing it. The top isn't in a position to accept everything because he also needs healing time.
If you've read the Opposite Attracts/Rivalry, you will see that the bot in here and the top there shared some same traits when it comes to understanding emotions. That story also shows how frustrating to be in a relationship with a person who can't understand your emotions and doesn't know how to express himself.
That's why I suggested that the bot needs "therapy" and the top needs "healing" time. In the relationship, you have to give and take. Both of them need to adjust, learn each other's pain, and continue to explore each other's dynamics to understand each other. In short, balance.
I'm just really hoping that the author doesn't rush this. I need them to explore the dynamics of the bot and top because they're such a cute couple. This could be realistic, too, if the development is done right.

I finished reading the novel and gawddd, heaven and hell will come to Tae's arms in the next chaptersss (idk if that is even considered heaven lol)

SPOILER!!!
Not detailed.
well, tae's gonna be kidnapped, and Ilay will find where he was hiding (not gonna reveal who decided to sell Tae in return for some gun iykyk ). Kyle will find out Tae's identity and daddeh ilay will come to the rescue with some big and flashy destruction. basically, he burned the forest, so tae could have not a choice to run, and choose to come to him instead, and maybe regret his decision about leaving him. And then a non-consensual seggz scene in front of the mirror. Ilay's reminding Tae that tae is his possession. Marking him to the top 'til the bottom. Sheesh. After that, they find some leads with the help of Kyle to know the whereabouts of Jaeui. Tae still wants to continue finding his brother, but Ilay does not let Tae be out of his sight again, so he and Tae (unwillingly) fly out to Hong Kong because Ilay still has some work to do. Fast forward, Ilay got some 5 weeks' leave at work, so he gave Tae's a chance to find his brother. This is where Shinru will come into the picture again. Shinru knows Tae will find his brother at Seringue Island (idk if my spelling is right) so he decides to follow him with the help of the stalker that Ilay caught and beat up at the hotel in Hong Kong. One of the worst things that Ilay did was forcing Tae to give him a BJ. Basically, Tae gives Ilay a head, and suddenly Gable (he works for Ilay) knocks on the door and enters the room without waiting for a word. Given that Ilay knows Gable's about to enter the room, he continued to fck Tae's in the mouth. Mind you, Tae's already stopped at the moment he heard the knock, but Ilay grabbed his head and pushed him into his cck more, and yeah Gable saw them and Tae felt like his world stopped because of the embarrassment. He was frozen and Ilay was the one who was moving in and out. Gable left immediately after Ilay asked, "It is urgent?" After Gable left, Ilay's eyes suddenly went to Tae and he noticed that Tae was not moving. He's just there, lost in thought and suddenly tears were coming out in Tae's eyes. Aww my poor baby. for the nth time fck u ilay. Anyway, after seeing that, Ilay panicked and pulled out immediately. He showed a strange, concerned, and distorted face for the first time. Like he's somewhat guilty for everything. He got out the bed and went into gorilla mode where he shouted and shouted due to his anger and went immediately to the bathroom where he continued to shout some angry and bad words in German. Yeah, this boi is guilty as fck. Surprisingly, he apologized to Tae and admitted his fault for what he did. He also advised Gable to not enter the room without permission especially if Ilay and Tae were in there, and asked him to forget what he saw back there. From there, Tae starts to investigate some places to find his brother, and one time he goes out, Shinru finds him. They went to a market and they had a little argument (I forgot), so Tae had to leave Shinru for a while. When Tae decided to find Shinru again in the vast of people, he suddenly got distracted and thought he saw someone who looked like his brother so he followed it, but he lost it. He goes to the alley and finds a gray chador waiting for him, but before he even
steps forward, someone punches him in the stomach and he immediately loses consciousness. He wakes up at a strange place and there he sees his brother again. They greet each other happy birthday and catch up. Basically, Raman is the one keeping Jaeui imprisoned in a tower. He wants Jaeui to make a weapon for him, but Jaeui refuses to make it which is why he decides to imprison him until Jaeui agrees to it. Mind you, Jaeui might be a captive, but Raman gives him a beautiful room to stay at. He visits him every night to check up and talk. Despite his busy schedule he still finds ways to visit Jaeui. He didn't even pressure Jaeui into making a weapon. Raman has a chili spice on Jaeui hehe :> He also hates Taeui . Anyway, that's all. I'm not gonna tell how the fck they had to escape that tower but it was a hella ride. And it's very interesting since in this part, Tae accidentally confessed to Ilay. And your boi Ilay was so happy about that. There's some misunderstanding that will come at the middle of the rescue and Ilay will turn into a goddamn angry bird again, but they will be just fine at the end.

Raman and Jaeui's relationship will be shown (not totally that detailed) at Diaphonic Symphonia. This is also where another side couple will revealed. Augh my cutie patutie Chris <3, don't remind me of his partner, I will puke. Also, it is hinted about Gable and Shinru (I forgot where part of the story but there is smth abt them)

Is it just me, I think Ash needs more development when it comes to expressing his love to Lyle. I can really feel the emotions flowing out of how Lyle is in love with Ash, but the character of Ash just seems so bland. The creator really needs to redeem Ash's character in these remaining chapters. Istg. All in all, their story is just really cute, and green. The creator just needs to put some development when it comes to Ash.

His horrible communication skills. He also easily hurts Lyle. He really struggles with being honest and open. For example in the recent chapters he doesn’t let Lyle touch him and instead of providing a reason he sweet talks him. He even noticed that Lyle is visibly upset but can’t come to the conclusion that his rejection is what’s causing it. While Lyle is too insecure to bring any issues up Ash doesn’t communicate about what is important at all and instead buries everything with his flirting

Now that you mention it, theres also how Ash flirts his way when he knows theres a problem bc hes too cautious to hurt Lyle until it becomes this big problem then they communicate clearly, like the Hazel and Richard incident. But thankfully it doesn’t seems this way towards the end of the novel. so yes there does seem to be development in Ash’s side.
Other than this and Cozy Obsession, does anyone know any other BL stories like these? I’m hooked ((T_T))
