Apparently, Iseul is still fcking healing from her ex. Chapter 32 really showed how fcked up her past was. She used to hook up with tons of girls probably doing all kinds of crazy sht. Her body had marks everywhere in that scene like an orgy. I might be reaching but it deadass looked like rope play or bdsm. Maybe that’s also why she wanted Sori to choke her during sex. Like... she’s chasing that high to forget all the pain. That’s how fcked up she is inside. But then Sori comes into her life and suddenly she starts feeling things again. Peak sht.
And honestly? I’m dying to know what kind of sht Sori’s hiding too. Like, who the hell taught her to be this good at sex? lets just wait till we finally get Sori’s backstory. Once Iseul’s ex arc is done i have a feeling real fcking mess is gonna start when we dive into Sori’s side.
Iseul? She’s not over her ex. But I don’t think she wants her back either. It’s not love anymore. It’s bitterness, hurt, confusion. Like, imagine loving someone that hard, only for them to dip and marry your own fcking brother leaving you for long without explanation. That’s next level betrayal. And when she sees her again? you can tell she’s still fcked up about it even if she’s trying to play cool.
And let’s not forget, Iseul’s whole life is fcked up because of her family issues. Even her mom treats her like she’s a burden. Dunno bout her brother or friends lore yet but the one person she used to trust betrayed her. No wonder she fell into self destructive sht, like throwing herself into meaningless sex. That wasn’t her being free, that was her spiraling further down.
The worst part? Sori doesn’t even know any of this. They don’t talk deep. They fck they flirt but they don’t actually open up. And that sht hurts just hurts them both. Sori's already so in deep with Iseul, it’s obvious, but she doesn’t understand why Iseul pushes away or gets all weird and cold sometimes. It makes her feel helpless, like she’s just guessing how to be with someone she can’t fully reach.
But even with all that, Iseul craves her. Not just for the sex, but for the warmth. She clings to Sori gets lowkey possessive like she’s scared Sori’s gonna disappear too. That jealousy? That ain’t just lust. That’s fear. That’s don’t fcking leave me too shts. Despite not knowing the whole story, Sori still stays. Both not doing this for casual Sori genuinely fcking cares and Iseul fcking feel sori (get that feel sorry I'm so funny)
Their whole relationship is peak ambiguous. No labels no I love you sht but they’re already all in deep feeling something special towards each other. They fcking need to unpack sht honestly.
Now the ex? being shady af her actual lore is still a mystery. Then that job offer... is she trying to fck with Iseul’s head? Or is she trying to take Sori for herself? one thing for sure there's something twisted going on there. Either she still wants Iseul or she’s mad that Iseul moved on. And Sori being from a totally different world just makes her easier to mess with.. damn. There's also this theory that iseul ex did that to protect her.
Also, Sori’s past is still kinda glossed over. Something tells me she’s not all sunshine either. Once we get into her story, this entire weird triangle square whatever it is might just explode. I’m ready af.
