Looks like he comes from a very prestigious family so probably something like homosexuality is unacceptable and something very shameful... Could it be that they tried to ,,cure" his homosexuality (ridiculous as fuck) so they took him to the doctor but the doctor couldn't do anything so they locked him up in the house and gave him drugs which they though would make him ,,normal"... It's scary how narrow-minded some people are.

I think it's more than the issue of homosexuality. I think he was raped by a man when he was a child, and it was his father that put him up to it. That's why because of trauma, he became the person he is now. Remember from the old chapters when his brother came and then he said something along the lines of "I'm living exactly as the way father made me to"? I think that was a premonition about his past, about how his father offered him to the person that Jihwa(?) imitated in his note/letter.
If we look at it in this angle, we can explain how he got worked up becayse of one letter from an old dude, how that Jihwa said he accepts him despite his past, and how he said he hates being touched by older men.

well technically homosexuality is seen as taboo in korea, up until these days. kinda funny when you think about how much yaoi manhwa korea publishes lol. but in the old days (joseon era, setting of this story) it is wrong to be attracted to men and some see it as "illness". i dont think he's gay in the first place, he fucked men because he resented his father, not him attracted to men in the first place.
idk he probably got abused or something? or witnessing his father fucking men? or his father fucked him? or his mom being lesbian??? lmao

Thank you for picking this up I thought no one will do that anymore, which is such a pity because it's a really good story. I also have an exam soon so I hope you do well on the exams (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ You're doing a great job and I hope you can continue when you can and have time (⌒▽⌒)
As for myself I pray I will be able to pass my exam at least(/TДT)/ Math is such a bitch, I hate it but I hope I will pass and won't have to do this ever again. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

I have that kind of situation every day when my 7 years old brother comes to my bedroom at 8AM when I'm sleeping at stares at me or shows me some stupid videos and wakes me up. At this moment I have someting like ,,How I hate this fucking brat, just get the fuck out" when I wake up on my own later: ,,Come here my cute little guy give me a hug, how cute you are, I love you the most" Like, if someone has a lot younger siblings will understand. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ Sometimes you hate this kid but in the end you love him the most because he's cute. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 Yeah I know it has almost nothing to the manhua but hey, I'm giving room for discussion if someone wants to share their thoughts about kids. XD

Yep, I agree. They are so precious and we should everything to protect them. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
But if you live with them, it's a nightmare sometimes. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
I'm still trying to force it in to my brother's head that when I'm sleeping he can't come to my room. And most importantly I still beg him to NOT STARE AT ME WHEN I'M SLEEPING. Sometimes I think he may be a hidden psychopath (⊙…⊙ )
Since we have romance tag on this story then I guess we will have a ML for our MC. I think that Joel is the ML. For now he is the most possible candidate for being ML since we can tell he has a thing for our MC and he clearly did not give up even though she left.
Unless the romance tag reffers to MC parents' love. I would be a bit dissapointed tough. This story has potential to have romance for our MC. It would be good to show that even though MC is genderless she can still find true love like her father altought they can't copulate. It would be very refreshing to see love that doesn't need sex to be eternal.
Plus if it is Joel then when he sees her as female, and still loves her, ahhhh I hope he will love her no matter what her gender and species is she is low key like a slime
