- The call Garam received was actually from Sunhong (pink-haired friend), he just acted like it was Jaehyuk. Sunhong asked if he was free on Saturday.
- Jaehyuk thinks about getting a part-time job on his way back home because he's running low on money.
- Garam rushes to welcome Jaehyuk back. Jaehyuk asked if Garam ran because he missed him, and Garam says that it's the first time he came home without Jaehyuk so he did miss him a little. Jaehyuk was surprised because he was just asking as a joke. Garam gets embarrassed but Jaehyuk calms him down and they decide to eat dinner together.
- Garam says that Sunhong will have a party to celebrate his 100th day with his boyfriend. Garam won't be going because it's awkward to go alone. Jaehyuk says he can go with him, but Garam asks why he would go to a gay couple's party. He says Jaehyuk isn't even gay.
- Jaehyuk says, "I'm gay though? The person I'm dating is a guy so why am I not gay?" Garam couldn't say that he thinks Jaehyuk will go out with a girl again if they break up.
- "And actually, if you think about it, aren't I gayer than you?" Jaehyuk asks and Garam chokes on his food. Jaehyuk explains that unlike Garam, he dated girls before so he dated both sides and then became gay and that's gayer than someone who was gay from the start ??
- Garam asks what's he saying, and Jaehyuk says it's perfect logic. He says if Garam still doesn't believe he's gay then he just has to prove it with his body
- They fuck at the dining area. "Ha... I really like this, Pervy Garam. I really like this flat chest. This soft belly and cute dick both drive me crazy. And this... Baby, I've become a pervert who goes crazy whenever I see an asshole because of you, but I'm still not gay? When will I become fully gay?" Jaehyuk tells Garam.
- Jaehyuk asks if they should go for another round because he wants to become gay quickly so they can go to a gay party together, and Garam says, "Alright, let's go, you crazy bastard!!!"
Haha! That was a funny chapter. I kept wondering what was all this dialogue about. Thanks for translating Is there any chance they'd meet the ex and his bf at this party? I hope so cuz we're in urgent need of some action xD
Pixeiw, I think this was the chapter I’ve been waiting on. Jaehyuk’s confession that he is indeed gay was so refreshing, and so full of confidence that I couldn’t contain myself!! He is so confident in every area of his life, so why wouldn’t he be confident in his gayness!! And his saying that he is gayer than Garam because he’s been with both girls and now a guy, is so Jaehyuk!! He’s fully redeemed in my eyes!!!
That's what I think will happen too and I'm so ready for it lmao
Yeah I always knew that Jaehyuk would be confident with redefining his sexuality and this chapter proves it lmao he says he's gay with his whole chest
That's so true and refreshing. It's even hard to believe Jaehuyk was such a jerk back then. His whole life now is centered around Garam. I am glad he admitted he's gay but I'm kind of skeptical just like Garam. I feel like it's all about Garam whatever gender he is. He's obsessed and deeply in love
I agree in that I think he’s only gay for Garam. I think the action is heating up nicely and the party should be very interesting if the ex somehow shows up!
Wtf this sht is so funny ahhaahah gayer than you?! Hahahaha
Why is Jaehyuk hilarious actually XD that logic kinda has a point
- Jaehyuk drops Garam off for work. Garam is wearing the new clothes Jaehyuk bought for him.
- Jaehyuk goes to visit his parents' restaurant. He thinks that if his mom and Garam meet at this state, it's going to be Han Garam Trauma 2. If he doesn't want that to happen, from now on, he'll have to slowly leave a good impression on her.
- His mom arrives. When she notices him, she greets him saying, "Who's this~ Aren't you my son who is so blinded by love that he doesn't even listen to his mother? What are you doing here~? You must be very busy with housekeeping and playing house with your girlfriend."
- Jaehyuk says he's here to help with work, but his mom sighs and tells him to drop the act, saying she knows he's here to get the card back. Jaehyuk says he's not here for that. He tells her that his lover told him to help out. But this pisses off/disgusts (idk look up her reaction panel ) his mom and she was like, "Lover this, lover that. Since when have you been obedient? This guy doesn't even listen to what I say," then walks out telling everyone that Jaehyuk will be washing the dishes all by himself.
- Meanwhile, the ex sees Garam wearing the new clothes during lunch. He says he saw those at the department store yesterday and thought it would look good on Garam. He says he was thinking of buying it for him and that their tastes are very similar. But Garam says that Sehan has a similar taste to his lover instead. He says Jaehyuk bought a lot and had he known that the ex would like it, then he would've worn different clothes.
- Sehan then says, "But isn't that friend a bit inconsiderate? Garam, you don't like people buying things for you... Not even a cup of coffee (because Garam rejected a coffee from him before)." Garam tells him, "Hey, get a grip, you think he's the same as you?"
- Garam then gets a call, and he smiles while answering because it's Jaehyuk. Sehan stares at him displeased.
As always, you are an angel Pixie! This chapter had a lot going on and you unpacked it very well. I’m nervous about Jaehyuk’s mom. I don’t quite know what to make of her. I know Jaehyuk was a playboy in the past and that she even caught him in the act, but she doesn’t even seem to want to believe that her son can change. This makes me believe she may not be too accepting of his “change of preference”. I hope I’m wrong though, because Garam doesn’t need that added trauma, just when things are getting good between him and Jaehyuk. That sweet moment at the end reminded me that they have really come a long way and how good they are for each other. As for the ex, I won’t even waste too much time on him, he simply needs to get a hint that Garam doesn’t want him!!!
Thanks dear Pixeiw I missed my babies last week! I was hoping we would get to know a bit more about the ex in today's episode but the same situations are kinda repeating in the past few chapters. The mom is angry whatever Jaehuyk does. Garam is getting more and more in love with his boyfriend all while hating his ex passionately xD Sehan is the typical selfish and envious ex. It's time he makes some bold move so we can have some action. I want to see him confront Jaehuyk one way or another. As for the mother, I'm still confident she will get softer when she meets Garam. Passed the shock of the gender, I am sure she will appreciate Garam for who he is and how he transformed her jerky son lol
Jaehyuk just needs to continue proving his mom wrong I guess. I feel like the more she either gets convinced or suspicious about Jaehyuk changing, the more she'll wanna meet Garam as the person her son listens to. But I'm sure that whatever her reaction is to Garam being a guy, Jaehyuk is gonna protect him.
Yeah the issue with the ex and mom have been building up for quite a while now, and I am also hoping some drama finally goes down next chapter lol it's about time for Sehan to cause problems.
congrats on catching up to the raws! i'm really thankful for your dedication in translating this gem, and i'm now one of the people who are hoping for an official english license. let's hope it becomes more popular
- Jaehyuk is angry and thinks Garam is still hiding stuff from him. Garam kisses his cheek and he calms down.
- Garam says they should continue when they get back home. He doesn't like it in the car because it's narrow and people are passing by. Jaehyuk says that the Pervy Garam he knows isn't that conservative.
- Garam tells him to stop joking around and asks how long he plans to be upset about something so trivial (him not telling Jaehyuk he's graduating early). Jaehyuk gets pissed again.
- They fuck in the car. Jaehyuk says, "Han Garam, I may be obsessed with your hole, but we're not just fucking around anymore. If I was just all talk then why would I have gone through all that trouble to seduce you. Dating means that your business will soon become my business. If you don't tell me stuff like that (the graduation), it'll seem like I'm not part of your future. But my future is full of you."
- Garam's clothes get dirty. Jaehyuk took it as the opportunity to dress him with the clothes he just bought. Garam nags at him spending again.
- Garam realizes it's because of his ex. Jaehyuk says, "I know I don't have to worry about that bastard, but I want to show that you are much more loved when dating me than when you were seeing him."
- Garam accepts the clothes he tried but wanted a refund for the rest. They can't get it though because Jaehyuk already ripped off the tags
- Sehan (the ex) is at the store thinking that the clothes would look good on Garam. It was difficult for him when they broke up, but he wonders if Garam found it just as hard as he did seeing as he's dating such a shameless guy now. He thinks that maybe Garam is just dating anyone because he was so shocked after their break up.
- Someone calls him babe. It was a guy asking if the shirt looks good on him. Sehan looks at him with dead eyes then says it looks good. He recalls dating the guy because he looked a little like Garam. He asks him if he would like to dye his hair brown.
Thank you as always Pixie!! Jaehyuk’s confession is everything. Garam has to realise that Jaehyuk is serious about him and all in for their future together! Garam sweet kiss on Jk neck was so adorable, but he has to know and see that there is no comparison between his first relationship and the one he’s in now! Jaehyuk is whipped for the boy! And I just knew there was something off about the ex. He’s beginning to show all the creepy vibes and he needs to stay away from our Han Garam!!!
Yes, Garam and Jaehyuk were sweet this chapter. I like that Jaehyuk is communicating a lot
I also really don't like the ex. He's being unfair to his partner and him being obsessed about Garam kinda scares me now. He could probably do some unhinge stuff...
Bruh, all of that while Jaehyuk is hiding that he is the one who bought their apartment
Yea, I have a feeling this is going to become an issue between them. Jaehyuk just needs to come clean about it now. They are in a much better place in their relationship than when he first leased the place. Keeping from him at this point makes no sense, but this is Jaehyuk we’re talking about
Thank you
Thanks So no more doubts the ex is a psycho xD
tbf jaehyuk's point was including each other in their future plans, which he was doing last chapter vs garam who didn't think much of telling him his early graduation
but yeah atp jaehyuk shouldn't have any reason to keep the apartment a secret, it's better he tells garam himself than for garam to find out thru someone else (jaehyuk's mom)
novel is better than whatever the manhwa is doing
for real, they're skipping a lot of parts
I agree, I also don't think the manhwa sets the same tone as the novel did
yeah even from the first chapter i'm sure it's gonna be brought up in some sort of flashback but i don't get the need to just skip it when it actually establishes their dynamic/thoughts about each other before the thing with the phone
true tho i can't really can't explain it just that the manhwa is lacking something
*can't really explain it
novel link??
Can I ask anyone who read the novel this. Can I ask do you know if ml thinks mc is actually meeting up with guys offline? Since he thinks he's gay idk if he thinks he not only doing stuff online but in person. Idk if he'll realise he took his first kiss and first times etc
yes ml thinks mc has experience and meets up with people, but i stopped reading for a while since i got busy and i haven't gotten to the point where they cleared it up (i'm pretty sure they have to clear it up tho)
Damn I hope they clear it up. Thank you
the artist has been suffering from pain due to herniated disc and has to take a break since it's gotten to the point where they could hardly hold a pen, ch88 will be updated on february 27
- Sehan says that he already apologized to Garam about the past. He says he honestly didn't know that Garam still hates him this much. He thought that the fact they met again was fate, and Garam thinks that this bastard has gone crazy (same)
- Jaehyuk is shopping for Garam's clothes. Then his mom calls asking if he sold the house yet. She thinks Jaehyuk is being taken advantaged of since his girlfriend is the reason he signed a contract. Jaehyuk tells her, "If that person knew I bought this house, they wouldn't live here," and she was surprised, but Jaehyuk hangs up before she could say more.
- Jaehyuk thinks it's probably best to not let Garam meet his mom. He wonders though if it's even possible for Garam to not meet his family even once in his life. Then he realizes that just now, he naturally thought that he would spend a lifetime with Garam.
- While waiting for Garam after work, Jaehyuk recalls that him and Garam are both third years so they'll live at their place till they graduate and the contract period for the house is about right.
- Garam gets in the car. They end up talking about Sehan, and Garam finds out that Jaehyuk met him because he was worried. Jaehyuk asks if Garam really has to do his internship this year. He says it's their first vacation since they started dating, and they don't have time to hang out since Garam is at work and there's also that bastard at his workplace. But Garam tells him there won't be a next year since he'll be graduating early. Jaehyuk was shocked to find out about this just now, but Garam was like, "Oh. Didn't I tell you..?" and this upsets Jaehyuk.
- Jaehyuk fingers Garam inside the car while asking if there's something else Garam hasn't told him yet. Garam says there isn't and wonders why Jaehyuk is suddenly like this.
Thank you, Pixie! This chapter had a little bit of everything, humor, drama, angst, and of course the smut at the end. It kinda broke my heart when Jaehyuk said he may never introduce Garam to his mom. Although he’s given his parents lots of reasons in the past to treat him this way, he needs to show them the person he is now that he is with Garam. He’s quite literally a different man. Also, he needs to come clean to Garam over their housing situation before it spirals further out of control. I feel if he tells Garam now, it might not be such a big deal now that they’re together and on better terms than before. It could become a thing now with the mom pressuring him to give it up. I’m also glad Garam is not giving his ex an inch. Keep freezing him out! Also, although I was happy to see some smut after a few weeks of nothing, I don’t want them to revert to not being completely open with each other. They have to be better at communicating. I just have so much hope for these two guys!!
I think it's because of garam's past relationship.. with the ex's mother.. jaehyuk doesn't want garam experience the same thing with his mother so that's why he doesn't want them to meet.. but i got the feeling that jaehyuk's mother will not oppose their relationship (i hopeee) because of garam, jaehyuk is a better person now
Not meeting his mom is more for Garam's sake since he heard about what happened with Sehan's mom. He thinks something that could hurt Garam could happen if they meet each other.
I also hope verbal communication can still take over next chapter.
Tbh I think meeting with the mom won't be as bad too. Jaehyuk thinking them meeting each other could end badly makes me think the opposite will happen.
Right? When they encountered jaehyuk's childhood friend at the restaurant, I was expecting them to have a big fight but we got a love confession from garam instead :') so i really do hope the same thing will happen with jaehyuk's mother
I also think meeting the mom won’t be as bad, the dad looks totally chill! I also agree that him not wanting Garam to meet his mom is probably to protect him from experiencing something traumatic again like he did when he finally “met” Sehan’s mom. Jaehyuk really cares about his Garam! They just need to properly communicate with each other.
Grrrrr… the audacity of this ex.. just let Garam alone
God bless you for this detailed summary <3 I knew I missed some important information just staring at the panels. One of them is Jaehuyk realizing he can't imagine a future without Garam. That's such a huge realization and development in the story. I hope he'll properly confess his deep feelings and life projects to Garam. Although I am not sure Garam is there yet. He likes Jaehuyk a lot but I am afraid taking about a future together will scare Garam more than making him happy. I could be wrong tho. In the meantime, I am pretty sure Jaehuyk is going to mess things up with the miscommunication. Just like his mom, I always have low faith in him, I am the worst lol
Help setting low expectations is okay! Tbh after this chapter, I'm also more threatened about Jaehyuk possibly messing things up than Garam's ex or his mom, but hopefully he proves us wrong.
- Sehan's boyfriend dyed his hair brown. They're also going to Sunhong's party. Sehan imagines Garam's face while talking to his boyfriend and thinks that he should just date him until Garam comes back to him.
- Jaehyuk and Garam are looking at Sunhong's flashy banner for his party. Jaehyuk wonders if all gay guys are like that or is it just Sunhong. Garam says, "Why are you asking me when you're gayer than me?"
- Jaehyuk looks around. He thought there would be a strange atmosphere since Garam was reluctant to bring him, but it's just a normal bar except they're all men. He sees some people flirting and thinks it's going to get dirty. He wonders if Garam likes that kind of stuff.
- Garam tells him that they won't stay long. He says it's loud and chaotic. Jaehyuk wonders why Garam asked him to come then, and Garam points out that this gay guy (Jaehyuk) insisted on coming.
- Jaehyuk asks how Garam became friends with Sunhong. It was when Garam broke up with Sehan in high school and felt lost. He went to an adult only get-together and got drunk. Sunhong was the one who took care of him and sent him home. If it weren't for him, who knows what could've happened to Garam that time.
- Garam also shared that after the break up, he got good test scores and Sehan came to him and said that it seemed like Garam has forgotten everything now. Then Sehan transferred when he was dating his second girlfriend.
- Garam spots Sunhong and went to greet him, leaving Jaehyuk alone with everyone targetting him.
- While going to Sunhong, Garam saw someone getting a blowjob below the stairs. He thinks they're crazy and that they should get a room. He says it's why he doesn't like this kind of party. Then he recognized the guy and remembered the words he said back when he blamed him for their relationship. It's Sehan and his boyfriend.
Pixeiw, again many thanks! I look at the panels and try to guess what’s going on but I’m so grateful for your translations always!! I don’t know just quite how to feel about this chapter! It seems like Garam really didn’t want to be there but only went to oblige Jaehyuk. He even seemed a bit testy with the way he was responding to and answering Jaehyuk. It was quite funny to see all the guys in the club ogling over Jaehyuk… lol. And I knew it from the moment they showed his face at the end of our fellas date that Sehan was no good. He is simply creepy. I know some of it probably has to his religious upbringing, but he is a blaring red flag walking!
crazy ending this dude sehan is actually coocoo
Do you guys think Garam is definitely over Sehan? Like he got closure already? The way he talked to him in the previous chapters and also from what he said to Jaehuyk, it seems he's done with that jerk. But still, I wonder what will be his reaction now. He surely will see him as a total creep and hates him for good but he could also feel deeply hurt. Like all this time that jerk was a total hypocrite. Idk...
***Thanks dear Pixeiw for the translation
I think Garam is totally over him, and seeing that will just reinforce why he can’t stand the guy. Exactly, he’s a hypocrite!
Yeah he did oblige Jaehyuk but I think him and Jaehyuk are chill. I skipped over it but Jaehyuk asked Garam if they should just go back when Garam mentioned he doesn't want to stay long. They stayed a bit because Garam wanted to greet Sunhong before leaving.
I bet Sehan is imagining that it's Garam giving him head and it's so messed up. It's like he has a fetish on Garam, he's too obsessed.
There's definitely no feelings, but the betrayal of being blamed for liking a guy cut deep. He sees the same "straight" guy who threw him under the bus getting it on with another guy. There could still be some pain but I think he'll feel more angry about it.
