Normie just did reverse childbirth. Wtf was that. Only his face is plain. His appetite for sex is something else.
And almost all the comments (in korean) were saying go-getter ml is better than gido bc their friendship was more important than the potential relationship they could have. I saw everyone despite being pro-Gido acknowledge ml and move on, and I felt like fish out of water. This is the part where everybody moves on from Gido??? And I'm over here, logically knowing all roads leading to Gido as a romantic partner are now closed (let's be fr I knew from the beginning it wasn't gonna be him) but still rooting for him in my heart. In the sense of "look at what could have been" fhdjjsksd and that hits me deep in the heart in a way that main couple hasn't. Like. I'm almost sure from hereon no matter what happens in this story that I'll love Gido (and their non-existent romantic possibility) the most.
Idk if I'm a real yearner, a real foolish yearner, or just a Pisces.
honestly i agree with your sentiment lolll. personally, i think they would have been so cute as a couple since they had already spent so much time with each other, and are best friends (friends to lovers would have been so nice
I finished the main story and I'm still hung up on Gido （/TДT)/ like give me pain!!! Like the angst, the fear of being found out, the fear of losing your friend, the hesitation!!! Also! Did gido not have feelings for mc in present day in the beginning?? Like I thought it was one sided from gido this whole time (yes, even when he had relationships) and it was a real surprise when mc revealed he liked gido. Was it just me??
Also, imagine treading the skinship aspect of a romantic relationship as long-time friends ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ heh I wanna see it (BRB looking for fics)
IKR!!!! ugh the potential :’)
i’d like to believe in another universe, they are together. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Pls I found neither fics nor fanart ╥﹏╥ what must a girl do???
Also, I saw a tweet saying mc now has no reason to go to Gido's neighborhood ㅠㅅㅠ did they break up as friends too??? Tf
after they confessed that they had feelings for each other in the past, WE NEVER SAW GIDO AGAIN. poor gido, ppl don’t appreciate him enough. cant believe someone would tweet that.（/TДT)/
i pray that there will be a fic with the two of them one day (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
As someone with a PHD on unrequited love... I get it. And I also get the frustration some people are having.
Mc never had greed for chaheon. Even if he's experienced lust before they put their hands on each other, it was very minimal, and he's always tried to suppress his feelings for ml, whether that be lust, love, or something else.
He's always drawn lines between ml and himself. "Ml is at the top of the foodchain; the spotlight follows him wherever he goes, etc." In a way it's idolization, putting someone on a pedestal. And when you look up at someone so much, you get used to holding your neck out. You stop being on the same playing level. Sometimes, that means a weak sense of self-worth.
Having a crush is something you do alone. Liking someone alone, having your heart broken on your own, sometimes (a lot of times) even by your own doing (although it's hard to admit). Mc is still very much in his own head. He's lived with the storyline he wrote in his mind for so long he thinks it's real life. I have a feeling it still hasn't fully occurred to him that ml is in this "relationship" as much as he is. He still holds the assumption that ml will reject him if he confesses his feelings. For Mc, it's still more comfortable being in the box he caged himself in, rather than this new territory he's exploring with ml. Surely doesn't help that ml has cryptic tendencies. This unexplored territory is scary for mc especially when he thinks he's doing it alone.
It's funny to me now but I sympathize with Mc. The pain he's experiencing now may just be due to some scenario he's made canon in his head, but the pain is all too familiar it might even be comfortable, so much so that, instead of asking ml for clarification, he's out here crying over his already broken heart.
You just described what I am like lol I can totally relate ╥﹏╥
*whispers* for people who can relate to this, look into gray sexual/romantic identities (asexual/aromantic and others) ㅎㅅㅎ
Oh </3 I'm sorry to hear that. I used to be the same too ╥﹏╥
Sex is often used to hold power over the head of one party to bend them into submission but put that in the omegaverse context and you'll have a couple whose power imbalance gets even more pronounced by the nature of the world they live in.
Also, what's with mc's names? Yejun and Noah?
Both MC and ML have Korean names and English names I guess for ease of living abroad. Good chunk of Eastern Asians does it like that. TBH I'm from Europe and I often use English name when speaking English cos I'm over people not even hearing and thoroughly butchering the different sounds in my proper name.
A lot of ppl do it for social integration, esp. as immigrants.
And yes, my name is difficult to hear, esp. Over the phone. After I've said my name, they still say "Lisa"? And it's not ANYWHERE close to my name. And when it's written, in it's original language, obviously it is pronounced correctly, but in the English language there is no equivalent, and even ppl who have immigrated like I did butchers my name too since it's way too "unique" and isn't something they're used to hearing.
I'd never get used to a non-birth given name, so I've never changed it. But once you're an adult or had your citizenship it's hard to change your name. I had a classmate in H.S. changed her legal name, I had wondered why. I liked her original name. Both sounded good, to be honest. But when I had commented on why she had changed it, and it was both first and last names, not just her first name, when it was so nice. But it's cool you can change your name. And she'd said that but it makes all the paperwork such a pain. Cuz literally ALL of your life documents will have to be transferred. And like your school certificates, transcripts, etc. You'd have to keep explaning and providing info for everything pertaining to your previous title. Sounds like a pain to me.
Had another friend did the same thing. Had known him forever and it was a name in my mother tongue, but then in his senior year also changed his name. But I will always and forever his native name. And the change again was drastic too. He not only took in an English first name, and had a change of last name as well, though that remained the same native last name. And but I'm so used to his original birth-given name. So whenever he would come to kind or referring to him it would always slip into that name naturally.
A lot of different Asians (not just East Asians) do. All my viet friends have a Vietnamese name and a western name they got when they were baptized. I personally just started to use an easier to say nickname when I was in grade school. I legally changed my name to my nickname when I got married but kept my real first name as my middle name.
Also to the original commenter, a relevant example of someone Korean with a Western name would be Hwasa and “Maria” which she made into a song.
Ah I was referring to this virtual boy group PLAVE having members with the same names
I even forget the title sometimes but won't actively search for it. I only click on it once I see it on the main page and by then I'd have about 4 chapters to read. Which is a treat for me tbh. I usually cannot follow ongoing stories because of poor memory retention but this plot line is so rare I'd be stupid to have it confused with something else.
It might also be the first time I like a kidnapping story. It's still kidnapping but it's not torturous for the kidnapped and the reader.
I want more
Could u please give me the link?
THANK YOU
I love the insight on idols. The author must have done hella research on fandom culture or might be in one herself. Also, is ml is coming off as an INTP idk asdafsa
I didn't like the artstyle at first, but it occurred to me they're drawn the way idols are depicted in fanarts lolll. So if they artist intended it to be that way then props to them.
Also, even though I like a few groups, I've never really liked idol bls. idky. But I can do with this. It's refreshing but at the same time, I'd much rather read this when it's completed instead of waiting every week.
