Story ripped a hole in me only to stitch me back up seriously seeing song rik reunite with his mother in the special episode without malice and with his whole heart something truly healed in me.
When he realises ji9star is fucking Jigu lmao I hope he has a funny inner monologue about how differently they both talk. Also Jigu lowkey a brat (and loser (/affectionate)) for saying I look handsome my neighbour hyung told me when the hyung in question is literally yeonwoo.
Being in a friendship like this that feels like you’re closer than family, living out of each other’s pockets and losing it is the worst. Just drifting from my bestie made me half crazy, I can’t imagine the relentless pain of having made each other miserable to the point of not even your last goodbyes being of any resolution. Fucking hell. I can’t believe the manhwa artist does this sort of heart shredding writing/creating on the side while being a grad student.
‘We obviously have to approach him in a non-slutty way’ lmao shadow is such a legend anyway…
I discovered when this chapter was published that bad apple is being uploaded simultaneously on lehzin kr and boomtoon kr. Get that bag Hanse!!
Also, enzo looks so funny in that first panel of his in a lounge chair. Lounge chairs aren’t so big as to dwarf 6 foot+ people lol.
Even though we pretend it wasn’t really an issue, class really is something that can get in between friendship. But here it’s just so much worse. Song rik has been abused so bad he thinks the only way to be together is to be each other’s whole world, honestly the way he acts would lead to a violent and scary idea of family/relationship. I think he has a lot of growing to do, but it’s so hard when you have no one in your corner apart from someone who’s also dealing a lot. The bullying was fucking awful man, orchestrating people to cut down your friend in the way that would make him feel the worst is digusting. I’m glad that jinhyeong cut him loose. He recognised how bad things were and how much worse it can get. Imagine getting bullied by your friend and then them demanding you cut your bio family out to depend solely on them so you can be together. That’s crazy.
But GOD. I cannot still digest telling your former friend/ now bully that they deserved to be abandoned by their mother because of how much they resemble their father who abused them. Fuck. It’s using the same tactics as song rik did initially, digging in where it hurts, but having it said vicariously while the others don’t understand it’s a deliberate dig vs in a setting where the whole school would come to know how bad someone’s life is, knowing it won’t lead to sympathy but mockery is crazy. I think the reason jinhyeong couldn’t ’look people in the eye’ apart from just song rik’s expression is probably that he realised that same thing, realised how far he pushed and down he kicked song rik.
Saying they’d watch us cry while we read their manhwa with sparkly eyes lol I think it’s really cute that creators enjoy moving their readers to the point of tears (of emotion and not frustration) because this means they did a good job getting the reader invested.
Also, soop2rang: calls kihoon a himbo with no thought.
Me: why am I gasping? I already knew that.
Thank you translator group your redraws and decensoring was GOATed thank you for bringing Yeon and kihoon- my FGHOAT (Fictional Greatest Hottie of all Time) (sorry the acronym sounds so close to a slur but my intention was not that) to the masses before the official licensing. Congratulations to the author too but I’m sad to see you guys go. This manhwa is so special to me because these two clearly love each other very much but their reasonable fears hold them back. However it isn’t just a source of angst but something they are actively trying to work through it. I love them, they are my favourite ongoing manhwa couple (beating out even Luke and Andrew from Nerd Project for me).
P.S. the Yakuza art is so funny for yeon my favourite crybaby but it IS pretty hot I must say.
Actual heaven on earth no misunderstandings good times. Pride getting in the way of mutual understanding is so annoying. I hope the misunderstanding is not dragged out this is painful for both of them, but mostly hyunwoo dude is literally selling his body (acc the misunderstanding) to someone he once liked.
‘Having dinner at my place with the guy who just rejected me…. I feel like I’m on top of the world’ bro are you hearing yourself corny ass boy kissing the phone over a sleep well text i am so fond of this guy who is dumb of ass.
I finished reading one room TA 2 days ago and since witnessing the sheer peak of BL manhwa writing I have finally achieved enlightenment and decided to stop punishing myself by continuing to read horseshit writing like this bitchfuck asshole getting together with the dude he abused. I pray all of you find a manhwa that makes you save yourself from the toxic vicious cycle of reading shit stories with good art. All the best. Love you.
