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
But this isn't the resolution that I hoped for. It's too sudden. I was really loving the last few chapters of this too! I felt like I left all of that built-up anticipation at the door into this chapter. Or the chapter itself is short which is why it all feels too quick for me. Like, one moment we were gripping at straws, with yeonoh holding up until the very last moment, and then him folding just at "I like you more than you realize." (Although I think I would fold too, who are we kidding, Mr. Kwon's arms looked warm especially after that rain) but did I need a kiss? Did I need resolution-smut? Did I need to see passionate lovemaking? With tears on the side? Yes I think that's what I needed. And it's not necessarily the smut that I need, but rather, a visual representation of all those feelings. I think I just needed a teary eyed kiss tbh. I wanted to see tears from Kwon. As aloof as he is, I don't think tearing up because the person that he loves is breaking down in front of him is outside of his emotional parameters.
What did u think would happen when norman keeps watering it
I didn't even check out the chapter anymore. I've seen the this raw sometime last week, so I just clicked, saw we were at the bathroom scene and noped the fuck outta there. I think I gotta finish reading the raws bc following the English updates just to get traumatized by sungtaek's creepy ass is starting to get to me. Will the trauma be smaller if I read it all at once? (Minwoo is definitely more appealing to me in the raws tho so I think I know what to do )
As someone with who can't retain bl memory, boy am I glad I forgot. Like I still kind of recall the gist of it but I'm really glad I don't remember.
