ON THE FIRST MEETING?!
Im sorry but i'll have to kick you out of the house.
Right!!! The disrespect
Im sorry but im not buying the secretary's excuses.
He watched for 20 years a little boy get abused by his adoptive family and did NOTHING, not a single thing to protect him and now he says he thinks of him as a son?!
Conveniently he was ready to save his "son" only after his husband gave him money to betray his current job.
Yeah but. He's a mere secretary. What can he realistically do against his employer?
call child protection? be his witness if cops need proof of the abuse? help him hide money so he can escape when he's 21? I'm not saying he would have succeded, i'm saying if he really thought of Sejin as his son, he did too little too late.
Isnt the man he’s working for like one of my most powerful people in this story What can his ex secretary do to him
Please read the comment you're replying to.
Bold of you to assume that child services and the cops in an asian country are gonna do shit against a very rich and powerful business for a kid. They'd bend over backwards to help him cover up any incident to please him.
I think you misunderstood me read my message again
I think you need to read the chapter again. Mr. Kim said that he thinks he's overstepping because in the first place, he shouldn't have any connection with Sejin but being his secretary. Are u aware of NDA? Non disclosure agreement? Do you know why Mr Kim is considered as whistle blower? It's because he saw things that was just wrong but he can't speak about it because its his employer who happens to be one of the most influential ppl in the country. Do you understand why he waited 21 years before speaking up? Because it took 21 years for Ido to show up. The one who can drag Haeshin down.
This is why its important to understand the society, life, universe of fcking dimension the story is set on before you make judgement. In this world, Sejin and Mr. Kim were powerless compared to Haeshin. They can't do anything to save each other let alone save themselves.
Mr. Kim is an ordinary salary man for God's sake, what can he do against a powerful corporation who can literally end his life (and/or his wife) in just a snap of a finger?
Now be serious fhdndb sejins family was rich and in power cps do not gaf
This is bl my friend I’m afraid when you have lots of money in this world you can get away with anything
you need to understand sejin wasn't abused in a typical way, he was emotional abused and neglected while also being brainwashed to 'repay' them. Sejin was fed, clothed and educated. So what can the cop or cps even do? Haeshin didnt break any laws, and even if Mr. Kim helped him run away, did sejin want to run away? I think sejin's reaction to ido's action is proof that he wanted to maintain his semblance of a family because he doesn't want to be a 'orphan' or 'alone'. If Mr. kim stepped out of line he would have been removed and sejin really wouldn't have anyone on his side
I get that you're feeling frustrated at him, and I also think you're valid for feeling that way. But the other comments also raised good points, like, Haeshin is really a big name to go against that Mr. Kim really wouldn't be able to do anything significant for Sejin, until he acted as a whistleblower BECAUSE Ido can protect him.
Even Sejin felt Mr. Kim was just a bystander to everything he went through all these years, that's why he felt betrayed at first. But when Mr. Kim explained a bit about his side, Sejin understood where Mr. Kim was coming from. It wasn't much, yes, but it was what Mr. Kim could do for Sejin then, and now he can do so much more for Sejin now that they're both out of Haeshin.
Ah, I wish there was a thumb up for replies too. Your comment is *chef kiss*
Too many people are talking so im jut going to respond everyone here, you guys keep talking about the results "the secretary couldnt have saved him cause he doesnt have power" and i agree, but if you supposedly see a child as your "son" wouldn't you try to help him in anyway possible? even if you know you'll probably fail? And no im sorry but to say than an adult man was as powerless as a 9 years old child its just false. They were not on the same circunstances Sejin was held captive with no way of escaping and the secretaty was a free man that decided as along as he had a job he was fine looking the other way on the abuse.
And good thing you mention Ido, cause to me is so slimmy of the secretary to see Sejin been abused for 20 years and do nothing, probably cause he didnt want to lose his job but switch sides so fast when Ido secured him a new one. No, he didnt help Sejin cause he "saw him as a son" he did it only when he saw there was something for him to gain, cause he knew Ido was about to wreck the company and as a rat he jumped ships before it sank.
He's innaction for decades is not excused just by some pretty words.
Well, no one's saying Mr. Kim's a saint lol. We're all telling you that he did what he could and yes it's not enough. He's human. He made mistakes. He's trying to make up for it. Seems like if you were in Sejin's shoes you'd never accept his explanation and nothing he says will be enough for you. Good thing you're not Sejin lol.
Honestly, you're perfectly right. But if you can't see that the other comments are also right, then you're not seeing the full picture.
Yes, i think we have different perspectives cause to me actions are more valuable than words. And if you saw someone get abused for years and did nothing about it, even if you felt bad, you were part of the abuse.
I think youre naive as hell and you need to learn how it works in the real world when you are dealing with rich people
Im mean this is fiction so idk what rich people irl have to do with any of this and unless you're rich yourself i dont think you have more knowledge than me about rich company presidents, but sure if that makes you feel more intelligent let's say you're right.
Youre slow asf
sure if that makes you feel better.
The answer is no, he literally almost got you killed by a zombie.
I really dislike him but im ok if every so often we get one chapter with him getting a new crush and failling miserably.
I was thinking is crazy to talk about marriage before been a couple but then i remembered in Japan they have marriage interviews so maybe its normal for them.
separation anxiety lmao honey he's just toxic.
What's funny about the sister is she just assumed he was taking with Chaeheon and when her brother start talking all romantic and shit, instead of thinking oh i guess i was wrong! he must be talking with his gf she inmediately guessed he's gay lol. Like girl, he doesnt talk with anybody else on the phone?
She didn't mention anything about his brother being gay also, she already knew her brother talks to his friend which is chaeheon (who needs to be called or updated evrytime probably) almost everyday right? Please comprehend the story properly. Also, don't suddenly judge the sister being annoying. She's just confused and she needed someone to talk to. And why do you think it's already toxic when the MC loves the ML. You know, no one is toxic if both MC and ML accepts each other and likes their attitude. It's not like chae heon is loving you? Girl, this is just fiction ..
LMAO no he opened the call by saying Chaheon’s name!!
I'm trying to sew where in my comment i called the sister annoying but nope, not there idk where you get that.
She said he thinks his brother "plays for the other team" so no, she didnt say gay but that's what she meant, before telling me to try to understand a story please try to think beyond what the story says literally.
About the ML been toxic, im not going to argue with you, i recommed you take your own advice and remember this is just fiction, there's no need for you to "defend" a bunch of fake characters i pomise you Chaheon's not going to read my comment calling him toxic cause he doesnt exists.
mmmm i thougth she started to listen the phone call after that cause she was just wakip up, but maybe she did hear him say his name.
Oh i see. There's also no need for you to comment such thing if it's fictional then? LMAO your type of ppl is what makes this fiction story interesting cause y'all yap and all about saying it's toxic not good yet read these sht
That's a very weird perspective, according to you if something its fictional there's no point in analizing? or even commenting on it? Why the hell do you read if you only consume without a single original thought.
You keep putting words in my mouth I didnt say its not good i said a character is toxic. You seems weirdly defensive about a comment that doesnt involve you at all, if someone else's opinion bothers you so much i advice you to not read them, its really easy.
Then again you wont, you seem really happy twisting things only to fight with me about the imaginary words i never said. This is my last response i'm not bored enough to keep talking with someone as delusional as you.
Girl chillax it was a lighthearted half-joking comment about how the MC is the gayest mf alive
Dude you can be a hater and still consume media chillax
I hate plots like this, they always act like the uke is an object that can change "owner" and not like a human been with his own opinions.
i think we get a fair slice of mashiro's feelings and opinions in this story
Im not talking about the story, Im talking about when a "second lead" appears and wants to "steal" the MC from the ML.
it's to early to tell if he actually wants to steal mc yet, idk if it's just me but it feels like he's just joking around to rile rihito up
Mask guy is just a fucking jerk who gets off on blackmailing people and his brother wasn't really 'taking care of the fallout' properly like how he says he was, those brothers are just piece of shits
nlg i was expecting more inner turmoil about having feeling for the child of the guy you think you killed but nope, he jump right into a relationship. There's still hope for angst when MC find out tho.
