guys all the kissing that's been going on isn't supposed to be romantic, and neither is the author trying to romanticise it (as can be seen by how awkwardly they write those scenes, with little to no communication or explanation. the main tone of every one of those scenes is discomfort). taehyun is a traumatized young boy who's been through SA, so his feelings and actions are all messed up. in his attempt to "protect" hyunbeom by getting him to exit taehyun's doomed life, he does the one thing he knows makes people uncomfortable; sexual intimacy, because it once made him uncomfortable. he just wants to disgust and offend hyunbeom so much to the point where he leaves on his own terms because hyunbeom is a responsibility ridden idiot too. DOES THAT MEAN THAT ANY OF IT IS JUSTIFIED? no. it can be explained, but not justified. trauma gives you context for someone's actions but it never excuses it. what taehyun is doing is still taking advantage of it, but all i'm trying to say is people also look at it a bit from his pov and sympathise with him. i do hope he gets a fulfilling redemption arc.
YOURE SO RIGHT!! i cant believe i havent seen more people talking about this. seeing taehyun do that to beom is seriously uncomfortable and it hurts knowing why hes doing it, also beom not leaving is making me pull my hairs out dude he feels responsable in the worst sense of the word dawg because if he does leave he will feel like taehyun not being well is his fault
in the end, both of their situations are caused by trauma and taehyuns actions cant be justified obviously, i really hope we get to see them actually work it out together and taehyun apologizing properly soon
wow okay the feeling of impending doom and depression that every chapter of this manhwa brings is immaculate i feel horrible for the brother. he's just a little kid who's been through SA, so of course he'll find unhealthy coping mechanisms such as misdirecting all his anger towards his sister. i also think all the analogies the author uses to portray how inseop's object of fixation is a person
OOPS PRESSED POST TOO SOON
...is a person this time are very picturesque and direct. we can also tell that the main plot about how inseop and gijeong aren't much different from each other (both view human lives as not much different from an insignificant insect's life) is building up. but of course despite being similar, they're at different stages of it and i think inseop realizes that. i think it'd be interesting if inseop is trying to bring that animalistic part of gijeong out of her, trying to make her draw her first blood through her own two hands. if they both end up becoming the same kind of cold-blooded killer, i think that'd make for a good dark romance!
oh and also i hope the rapist cousin and teacher at gijeong's new school are the first victims. i need them both dead. i love dark/complex topics and characters but i draw the line at rapists/pedophiles. they all need to die ♡








OHHHHHHH MY LAWRD THIS WAS THE MOST REWARDING CHAPTER I'VE EVER FUCKING READ
GO QUEEN KILL HIM FUCKING KILL HIM but i hope kiseong gets the last hit, he should be the one to get revenge through his own hands!
AND INSEOP CMON MAN DO YOUR LAWYER MAGIC COVER IT ALL UP!!!!!
