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.
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.
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?
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.
But ig I have to put it on my read list to remind future me not to make the same mistake I did
Like that's not his birth mother but they're bantering like friends. I'm soft. Their family is so cute. Which makes it all the more sad when you think about how Lee Nok grew up. His mother died when he was at a young age, the royal nature of his family and him being crown prince already imposes upon him a huge responsibility from the beginning and that might imply his dad and him having a not so very loving relationship. Not to mention his step mother is out for his head, and the politics that goes on in the palace means he always has to look out for his back. When you see it like that, it would be crazy for Nok not to fall for Kyungjoon whose loyalty is with him always. But also, it's very possible that he's mistaken his feelings for kj as romantic love when in reality he's just been needing a family all this time. Jaeshin would then be his first love, and he would also be his last </3
And his looks is the last part of it. The way he carries himself, his convictions, his manner of speech, his confidence...ungf need me a man like that
