bc he always only slept on the floor when he was a just a baby dust bunny is so sad to me
The 용 you mentioned is actually just 응 as in "hm?" A verbal nod/acknowledgement response when being called by someone.
My heart was hurting for the baby and then grown Juwon with our poor mc appeared looking in peace and my tears just :((
But in other news I wonder how I can recognize the monster that the king is but still empathize with his unrequited love? Oh you even stopped yourself from dreaming of your affections ever being returned for fear of having empty hope? That is honestly so sad
That's what I'm sayinggg. Yes he's a monster but as a true yearner myself I feel that deep hollow sadness he expresses like
As another true yearner myself, I fear I romanticize yearning so much it clouds my judgment. It's a good thing this is not real life lol
I liked it in a sense that I know I shouldn't: the characters are awful, but they're not so one-dimensionally awful that they can only be disliked. I think, in stories like this where the characters have gone through so much trauma on their own, it stops being about whether they deserve being with each other, but more about "Man, I'm just glad he has someone by his side"
I tried reading this like three times, and both two times I tried I was so weirded out by the the relationship dynamics. Wdym you like you're dead brother's ex? I'm glad I got past that initial disgust and finally read it in one go. It's such an interesting story despite the many things I had to stomach. I still feel queasy while writing this, so I would have to push the reread a long time into the future when I've forgotten about it so it can shock me again. Haha.
Exactly this
