Okayyyy, I would reread but I’m tired. These last few chapters have me confused. I felt like there was going to be a confession soon. From either Aaron or Yujin, but now we are here. I thought the Yujin dad showing up was going to push them together even if they were apart for a bit. Idk feel like we are prolonging this last part of them acknowledging their intentions/feelings.
I only read this story in passing but WTF WAS THIS CHAPTER??? Jewon was literally crying and stressing about Jushin saying he didn’t have feeling for him. The man literally told you everything you wanted and how can you just act like that didn’t happen??? Ughhhhhhh I’m lowkey over this….
To be honest, I’m not even sure whose great idea it was to blank out the words. Maybe it’s the manhwa team’s way of keeping people in suspense but this story doesn’t need to create suspense because revelations occur all throughout the rest of the story until the last page of the main story.
Anyway, what Carcel said is, “Your dream is over, Inés. I am your reality.”
Ines reacted emotionally to this because:
Besides the fact that it implies her tragic past lives are over, there’s also the detachment she often felt from reality. Ever since she first regressed, her life felt like she’s dreaming. For instance, in the Bilbao arc, when she was hiding with the artist in a hideout, she told him she feels like he’s a dream…meaning, that they’re not living in reality. She felt like any day she would wake up and end up in the palace again and married to the crown prince.
In contrast, since Ines married Carcel, she’s begun to feel like she’s living for real. This issue was addressed when she admitted it in the arc Carcel fainted with the cold at work. In the chapter 59:
THE IDEA THAT I HAD TO LEAVE HIM ONE DAY... ...NOW HAD ACTUAL SUBSTANCE TO IT. IT WAS NO LONGER JUST A SIMPLE SENTENCE IN MY HEAD. IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS STARING DOWN AT AN EMPTY SQUARE ON A CHESSBOARD EITHER.
IT USED TO BE LIKE PINNING A RANDOM POINT ON A MAP... ...AND CHOOSING MY NEXT DESTINATION FROM THERE…BUT NOT ANYMORE.
Then we see her in a field with Carcel standing with his hand extended towards her while Arondra and Alfonso stood behind him. That’s when she admits she no longer wanted to live her life without Carcel, the warm people in their home and their little house atop Logorño Hill.
Then there’s the chapter where she envisioned she and Carcel as an elderly couple, for another example. In that chapter, Ines mentioned how she feels ALIVE because of Carcel and how he had the ability to drive the shadows from her life just by his presence. That’s the chapter where she talks about all the light in the world is contained in his eyes that look at her as though she’s his Sun.
Therefore, we should be able to understand why Carcel telling her he’s her reality created such an emotional response on top of their already emotional heart-to-heart. There’s so much meaning in Ines finally feeling she’s living for the first time in an extremely long time and the bad things are behind her. Now she hopes to grow old with him and actually looking forward to their future. Moreover, added to this bright hope for the future is the fact that no matter what danger lies ahead, Carcel has always made her feel safe. That’s another important aspect that can sustain her present reality.
EDIT: It’s also important to note that Inés uses the term ‘dreams’ to refer to her past tragic lives. Note she even includes the first TRUE life when she said “Perhaps I’ve already broken you too”. So when Carcel tells her the dream is over and he’s her reality, he’s also effectively telling her the words she’s longed to hear…that is, the bad things are in the past and she can forget them and live in their present reality.
I always say this story has so many details, nuances and meanings. It’s very rich.
The Mc is soooo smart and completely clueless at the same time. Like weeeee alll know how easily you want to fold for the ML why are you trying to make this hard!
I was a little lost on how they would use this misunderstanding but I’m loving this direction now! More bottoms should take their tops!!! Tell them how to act!!!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Ahhhhh Suo Cheng (blue hair) is soooo fine even when he is stress. Let me relief it for you (づ￣ ³￣)づ
So the jinx isn’t even anything extraordinary…so we are just going to skip over the part of how he became this deranged and dehumanizing towards people he has sex with???
I don’t like how the ML is being written this way I would be okay with him being aggressive about being alone with her( without doing anything inappropriate) but instead of whole sex scene, there would be him breaking down. Like the ML is suppose to be sweet and emotional person so why wouldn’t he lose it after finally seeing her??? This would be a much sweeter moment and if the author wanted to make the ML a pos then we would have build up to it. Not this crazy time skip?????
Said “What the ACTUAL fuk” the entities chapter cause why can’t they just enjoy each other
I literally screamed like a madman cause WHAT???? No, seriously???? Aaron Hunter how have you not went all the way???? I’m speechless! I’m being lied too
Okay to be the odd one out but does anyone else find it weird that Mc jorked to the minor version of the ML. Like idk it weird….cause Mc could of just did it to the adult version of him
Love the “I only have one option” like sir you didn’t even try anything else
Shin look at Jake chest and started wanting change their whole relationship like yeah his tits would make me think different.
Was confused on what y’all meant about the first chapter and it just clicked The person the Mc see the Ml kissing is his messed up brother I could of live not knowing
The ML is sooooo freakyyyy like at no point does he do anything reasonably, like tickling him would be so normal compared to TOUCHING HIS NIPPLES???? Then jumping to jorking bro off
