I was gonna say, the dream being a dream was the most upsetting thing to happen to the king, but then he did THAT and then I am reminded there is no redeeming him. But then again, I want him to coddle him. I want him to experience being loved by the teacher, but I also know that cannot happen without the teacher losing his wits. It's so conflicting.

Tmi but when I first started reading bl, I would stick to non-smutty ones bc smut made me uncomfortable (girlie was an undiscovered asexual) then I grew past that phase and now actively read smut (girlie is still asexual) but this and Rotten's smut makes me so uncomfortable it's bringing back memories of me avoiding smut I'm still reading tho

But Jin hallucinating Brandon when he was drugged out during sex with Matthew was so interesting to me, I 100% get Matthew for being jealous–
But I know Brandon is just one hell of a traumatic figure for Jin because he's the one who got him addicted to the drugs. Jin did mention that Brandon was like a father figure to him at one point. So I see it as an admiration, loyalty in the sense that he wanted to be praised by him, but then again also fear because he's associated him with the trauma of drugs and addiction. Brandon didn't know he had a good thing until he lost him, and it's so funny that exact same line was used about Jin losing Matthew.
I'm glad Brandon betrayed the organization and that Jin got to find out who he is, clocked him out for real because Brandon wanted someone he could trust, but he himself couldn't be trusted.
But yeah, it shocked me to find that they were in a sexual relationship. And I also kinda didn't like that he was referred to as Cheungwoo because of the associations with Brandon.
I was just gonna ask for recs like this one!!! (Fuck sunset)
