I’m glad I’m not the only person who saw that I thought something was wrong with this site

I would! I do. Unless he was like, I hope I can also be one of the people who makes you happy.

No it was way more direct and I think in the chapter before Kwon did realize why he was so bothered about the rumors being unexplained to Yeon-oh. So he was way more honest about his feelings so I think next chapter will be HUGE on the confession department and I can't wait!

I know. I meant, IF he said it how I wrote above, then, yes, I wouldn't really take it as a confession and YO might take that as JH simply caring about him, but no implication of anything romantic.

This is how I wrote the final 2 lines in the recap: "If something distresses YO, JH wants to be the person he will turn to. If someone were to bring happiness to YO, JH wishes he could be that person."

I feel like his words carry more weight than a simple, "Yes, I like Seo Yeon-oh." I'm so proud of Kwon here. Chapter 77 made my chest all fluffy, dammit.

So far as I can tell YeongWoon knows taekwondo. Physically, unless he drugs him, shouldn't be able to overpower him. Whether he messes w/ YeongWoon's mind or not remains to be seen.

I have not read Jinx (but heard many rants against him) but I cannot tell if (idk the ML's name) the ML in Jinx likes the MC or not.

In this particular case the two MCs have the feels for each other. I'd like to say...the hits for each other, so it's at least mutual.

And furthermore, they were friends before....and seems to have been good friends too...the only thing is, Seo-In's taste might be too extreme for him... although we don't know that is the case or not, assuming Seo-In's taste is excessive or outside of YW's comfort zone.

My guess is ML’s brother (assuming it because of the family picture) had passed away and it had something to do with the MC because MC kept seeing him in his dreams but ML and the “brother” also kissed so I am confused but I think the brown haired person who also had moles on chin had something to do with their past.

According to other ppl and myself included the guy w/ the mole is Seo-In's brother. I don't know if Seo-In's brother had passed away or not. He could very well be in a mental institution or something.

The reason I say that is because when the Dr. came by to drop off some food Seo-In's mother had made for him she told him "give your mom a call sometime" and that "Even though I am your brother's doctor I have known you forever. So initially I had not think much of it, thinking that maybe, that she is just a family doctor. But upon the second reread I thought since she said that she is his brother's doctor that the brother is probably the one w/ the incest issue. Although they both kissed so I can't tell from the little snippet if the kiss was intentional to make YeongWoon jelly or to keep him away from Seo-In or that they TRULY have that kind is ship. But since the doctor said that she is his brother's doctor, I'm ASSUMING he is the incestuous one. Anyways, they both made out so I can't tell. And when Seo-In said to himself "She (his mother) isn't worried about him but more about what she had lost" which could mean the loss of a relationship or how one views a person because of the way they had turned out, rather a physical death.

Omg thank you for the insight! Guess I have to ready myself for the angst, heartbreak and misunderstandings that’s going to come in the later chapters ╥﹏╥

Hey, trust me, you're not alone. However, you seem to be the only one who acknowledges his red flags and accepts his need to suffer.

Oh thank you, I'm honestly a bit shocked so many agree with me, the recent comments suggested otherwise, that's why I wrote mine but I'm glad I did :)
I think a character doesn't need to be flawless to be liked, Kwon definitely could've been better to Yeon-oh and his indecisiveness in recent chapters has been a bit infuriating haha but I still love their dynamic and overall story so much! I just fell in love with both, they don't need to be perfect as long as both can be happy in the end!

If JH earns his way back to YO, all will be forgiven. He needs to speak up instead of doing YO favors. YO will only attribute those to JH's guilt over his father's death. :3

Exactly!! You summed it up perfectly!
I truly hope Kwon will be more honest in future chapters!

I’ve been thinking, and not that it justifies some of his shittier actions, but he’s rich, his thought process is different from most people.
So some of the things he’s done that have been questionable also come from that “I’m rich” place.
I think chapter 74 enforces my theory that he grew up a certain way, and that shaped his personality.

Point.

Definitely, he uses favors to make things right or get what he wants, he didn't exactly grew up lovingly either as we've seen so far.

That, and again, not justifying, only making a point, but his treating Yeon-oh like an object sometimes, I think comes from the fact that (I’m not rich and I’ve never really been around Uber rich people, so I could be wrong and stereotyping), even if his mom was down to earth, ultimately, he grew up probably thinking that money could get you anything. So when he made the deal with Yeon-oh and Yeon-oh agreed, I don’t think he was thinking much about Yeon-oh’s humanity. So I don’t think he’s a jerk by nature, but more by nurture.

"Not a jerk by nature but by nurture" This sentence is perfect! I like that you also acknowledge that it doesn't justify his actions but could explain them and I agree.
That's probably also why many people growing up poor go insane after winning the lottery, imagine growing up rich, loosing touch with reality and consequently humanity. I don't know anyone rich either but their perspective on what's a lot of money and ours is vastly different, like the money he brought to free Yeon-oh, he could've taken it back after beating up that loan shark but he didn't, it was spare change for him.

One part I slightly disagree is the initial thought he had about Yeon-oh while making the deal, at first he didn't give a damn but I think seeing him suffer as he brought him to the hospital after he collapsed in front of his car, has made him contemplate his decision whether he should suffer along with his dad or if he was a victim just like him. That's how he went into the deal.
It didn't change most of his actions, he was just as cold most of the time but I want to believe he thought about his humanity just a slight bit and now even more so. Did you see the new chapter? That was huge development for him, Kwon was honest for the first time ever. I like this direction and hope we see more!

omg I wrote you a whole essay I'm so sorry!!

Lol, no worries, it’s fun when people engage (as long as everything is kept cordial). True, he did show concern back when he re-encountered Yeon-oh when he was in high school, but I think by he time he proposed to sponsor him, he wasn’t thinking about the kid he knew back in the day. Honestly, all the shitty things he’s done to Yeon-oh haven’t even been done consciously. He just realized last chapter after watching the video of his assault just how shitty he’s been to him as well.
And yup, I did see the latest chapter. I hope he’s finally able to vocalize his feelings. He’s been so emotionally numbed for so long, that he’s not allowing himself to feel what he’s feeling.
