THANK YOU

Chapter 1 literally opens with Yoonho in therapy and a flashback to him choking Suyeon until he bleeds from his nose.

The cover art clearly shows this is going to be a love triangle and the summary also suggests this.

The story is called 'Form of Broken Love' and yet people are still complaining that they had no idea the story would be this toxic. Guys, there are plenty of happy fluffy stories out there that you can read because this is not one of them.

Thank you for explaining this so wonderfully my friend cause the toxicity did not come in unannounced in this bl. We knew from the beginning that this would be hardcore so any complaints at this point are plain annoying cause... what were you expecting having reached this point?

Yeah all the commenters here except you are writing from another planet having no idea what homophobic and repressing society even is

Also yeah, poor Mugyeong, this same ever-present society is forcing him to treat his supposed lover of 7 years like a piece of annoying furniture which stands in the way but somehow it was always conveniently here to use if needed, neat

And this terrible moment when society made little innocent Mugyeong to fucking prioritize night chitchat with a person his partner is SEVERELY and OBVIOUSLY anxious about right before the said partner eyes. And while cutting their much-needed time together too, of course, cause apparently the project and sharing pleasantries with random guy is more important than your lover is.

Oh, and yeah. It's amazingly understandable when an individual chooses absolutely unnecessary and optional cinema evenings with supposedly "just project partners" when the whole event has nothing to do with the project WHILE your relationship is literally crumbling down and the face of your beloved looks in so much pain, all his essence straggling to get at least a tiny piece of you presence and attention.


Society my ass. Mugyeong is just a piece of a manipulative and gaslighting shit.

You fuckin cooked, ate and left no crumbs! Well said Mugeong is a gaslighting piece of shit (︶︿︶)＝凸

PREACH

Manipulative and gaslighting? Wow, this is a stretch and if this is how you see his character then there's no point in even saying anything to you.

tho i'd disagree with calling him manipulative and gaslighting, we also have to remember that they're supposed to be in a seven-year relationship atp. i think it's a bit messed up that mugyeong can't even openly express his affection for yohan in private. not in words, not in action. i totally got his personality during the main story since it made sense. his actions for the side stories really made me question whether he actually feels any affection towards yohan. being together for seven years does not immediately mean that you stop giving them affection or dismiss their anxieties.

This is perfectly reasonable as it is strange that he's still too shy to say 'I love you' after 7 years but that doesn't make him the a-hole everyone's making him out to be.
And this is the reason why I said a lot of them don't understand the lived experience of growing up in this kind of environment: I know someone who even after years of coming out still can't even say the words 'I'm gay' casually. Not because he's ashamed but because he's been conditioned since birth to belive this part of him is unnatural and should be repressed; it took a lot for him to get those words past his lips freely and that was only in a completely gay space in another country.

Although this is isn't the same as a 7 Yr relationship I'm just trying to show you that a lot of gay people still have problems with showing gay affection (and I say this specifically because this could be why Mugyeong has no problem being friendly with the other dude but stiff with Yohan). So yeah, experiences like this is the reason why I'm not so quick to throw Mugyeong under the bus after being shown this tiny snippet of their 7 year relationship.

I'm not sure if this is the route the author is taking the story towards, we'll know once they actually talk in the upcoming chapters cause that's what they really need to do atp.

Also, a lot of people seem to be ignoring other reasons why Mugyeong might not be taking Yohan concerns as seriously.
1. This situation already happened before; Mugyeong gave 4 examples of Yohan becoming jealous of his friends when he's given him no reason to. Even Yuri confirmed that Yohan always gets in head like this and becomes anxious on his.
2. Mugyeong did reassure Yohan that nothing was going on with the guy. He said the guy was just a friend, he didn't think he liked him and Yohan is the one he's choosing to be in a relationship.
3. He's in a committed relationship and has never lied, cheated and showed that he wasn't fulfilled with the relationship.

It jus seems that a lot of people are mad he didn't say 'I love you' with heart eyes and suddenly he's a demon.

What?? Even at closed doors in intimacy he still shows yohan 0 love

LOUDER

Give me one example where he shows 0 zero love for Yohan.
The only thing he's at fault for would be dismissing Yohan's anxiousness, and that can be explained due to Mugyeong's frustration with Yohan bringing up other guys when he's already assured him that there's nothing to worry about.

Also give me an example of Yohan showing love/intimacy for Mugyeong cause that was literally never shown by either of them during this entire side story.

well, i think what frustrates me is the lack of acknowledgment on mugyeong’s end that he’s part of the problem, not just yohan. it’s shows lack of consideration for his partner.

for the reassurance part, i think atp, his actions (or lack thereof) towards yohan has piled up. i understand the clear hierarchy system in kr, but after your partner has expressed his anxiety, picking up a call from that sunbae in the middle of a very much needed talk in the dead of the night was not really reassuring. asking yohan to stop hugging him because his perfume scent transfers on him was also too much. trying to put off yohan’s concern by saying nobody sees him “that” way just also won’t cut it because that’s not entirely true. even though there’s a low chance of a gay person being around, it’s still not a zero. even yuri was able to point out that his lack of expression of affection towards yohan can be seen as him being ambiguous.

while i do agree that yohan needs to put more trust in mugyeong, mugyeong also has to be more open of his affection even if just in private.

I agree with you on this.
I'd also like to point out that Yohan does not believe his actions are unwarranted and no one on here seems to think so either when he literally stalked Mugyeong while wearing Yuri's clothes. I get he's anxious but that's just making it seem like he doesn't trust his partner. None of them are handling this issue well atp so Mugyeong alone getting all the hate is just crazy.

As it relates to the reassurance setting, yeah he should have a more heartfelt talk with Yohan about why he feels that way when they're living together and have been dating for 7 years. A lot ppl are putting it all on Mugyeong without realising the dude could be frustrated that the guy he's been dating for so long is still anxious about their relationship when he has proven he is committed... Its not as if their spending no time together, they were literally on a date in the 1st side story chapter.

The perfume thing may seem irrational to a lot of ppl but it is understandable considering the environment as I've said before. Sometimes just the insinuation that you might be found out would cause your heart to stop, they just need to talk it out and come to a compromise about that. He shouldn't have asked Yohan to stop hugging him though, I can see why Yohan would be anxious by that.

I also think Mugyeong is just not an overly affectionate person but ppl are making it out to be that he doesn't love Yohan. Considering how long they've been dating I don't see what displays of affection he'd need to be showing atp. We know they still go on dates and he remembered to the bread Yohan liked and bought it for him when going home. These are the actions I'd expect from couples in a 7 year long relationship who've grown comfortable with each other. Everyone's saying he needs to do more but what exactly does that entail?
