i forgot there's a break this week for the official english
NAOOOOOOOO
i tricked myself into believing this wasn’t real and it is
- Jaehyuk uses another card to pay for their meal. They got in the car, and Jaehyuk's mom suddenly calls. Jaehyuk quickly rejected it. His mom then sends a message asking if he wants to die and telling him to pick up the phone. Garam looks at Jaehyuk suspiciously and asks what did he do.
- Jaehyuk's mom calls again, and Garam answered it before he could stop him. His mom screams at the phone, calls him a crazy punk and nags at him for using his card (Garam was so shocked).
- Garam asks about it, and Jaehyuk says he needed to spend about XX million won on something so he broke deposit. Garam asks him where he spent that much money, and Jaehyuk couldn't say that he spent it all on their house. Garam also nags at him, but Jaehyuk just calls him honey and snickers at how they really act like a married couple (Garam was flustered).
- Jaehyuk then remembers Garam's ex and gets pissed. He thinks that it's not that Garam didn't trust him that much, but it was because that bastard ruined Garam's first relationship experience that he went through a lot of trouble (in winning Garam over).
- The next day, Sehan (the ex) is waiting for Garam to arrive at the company. He remembers Jaehyuk and thinks that Garam doesn't suit dating a frivolous guy like him.
- Garam arrives but quickly walked past him. Sehan was disappointed, but then someone snapped their finger in front of him. It was Jaehyuk, and he's asking if Sehan wasn't taking orders.
Hi. Where did you read the raw or latest chaps?
search "선 넘는 사이" on newtoki467 dot com
Pixie, you are a true gem. This was such an interesting chapter! Jaehyuk is gonna have to come clean to Garam sooner than later about purchasing the house for them to live. He has to trust that Garam will now understand why he did it under the guise of a housesitting for a friend because they weren’t on such good terms then. And this ex doesn’t look like he’s gonna go away easy. He seems sneaky and sus as hell. Though, I’m not too worried about him, Jaehyuk is not about to let anyone stand in the way of his relationship with Garam and that goes for his mom as well. Things are definitely heating up nicely!
Right, I think Garam could end up being more understanding about the house too. But yeah, right now, they're dealing with the ex first. I think now's the time for Jaehyuk to be his annoying self again and piss off Garam's ex lmao
Jaehuyk looked so hot in the last panel! But I think you guys are way too optimistic when it comes to him. I feel like he'll manage to screw things up both with his mother and with the ex and when Garam will hear about Jaehuyk's interference in the two cases he'll get pissed big time xD And then again Jaehuyk will have to act mature to win him over. I could be wrong tho I may still suffer from Season 1 PTSD lol Thanks for the summary
I just think Jaehyuk is gonna be petty with the ex and do something to annoy him, idk if it'll end well or not lmao I feel like Jaehyuk could get pissed first.
Who I'm optimistic about is Garam. He's been more chill and secured with Jaehyuk. I think his reaction for whether Jaehyuk fucks up or not (about the ex and the house) won't be as bad as we fear.
Your Season 1 PTSD is very valid though lmao that's why I keep hoping that they'll be more understanding/mature, I don't want to suffer again shsjhj
Thank youuu so much
Exactly, I agree with you. Ever since their fight when Jaehyuk stormed out because he felt Garam wasn’t as serious about their relationship as he was, Garam has been a lot more understanding and affectionate towards Jaehyuk. I feel he may be taken aback at first when Jaehyuk finally reveals that the apartment is his, but he’ll eventually come to accept why he did it. At least that’s what I’m hoping for. Garam has shown a lot of growth in their relationship as has Jaehyuk. This is why I’m hopeful they’ll be okay despite the efforts of the ex and Jaehyuk’s mom.
When I tell I was so impressed by Garam's reaction... or rather no reaction when he was at his job and the ex was desperately staring at him. Garam didn't even acknowledge his existence lol Talk about healing and growth
the characters just reassured their feelings to each other and properly communicated, but everyone just freaks out about the ex as if y'all have no confidence in their relationship
the characters were been frustrating before but they also learned a lot so they're gonna be fine, the development doesn't go back to zero here after every obstacle
It's not abt their relationship, it's abt poor guys never catching a break. First it was the ML's friend, then his BFF, now MC's ex like let them live
oh then i understand it now sorry but the ex is not the last of it
I know i didn't mention it bc I didn't wanna spoil lol
- Garam says that Sehan (his ex) works at the first floor of the company's building. Jaehyuk asks if Garam is leaving him because his feelings returned after the bastard apologized to him, and Garam got goosebumps and told him not to say creepy stuff. He says that their relationship can't go back to the old days even if Sehan apologized.
- They started dating after Garam stole a kiss while Sehan was sleeping. Sehan woke up but was smiling at him, and Garam thought it was a miracle that Sehan liked him back.
- Sehan invited Garam to his house one day. Garam didn't want to go because Sehan's mom was scary, but Sehan insists, saying his mom was at the church. Sehan asks if he just doesn't want to go to his house, and Garam ends up agreeing to come.
- Sehan's mom caught Sehan on top of Garam that day and got really angry. Sehan blamed Garam for liking him and said that he just didn't know what to do.
- Jaehyuk is listening to the story while they're at a restaurant and talks shit about Sehan. Garam adds that Sehan dated a girl in his class one week after their breakup, when the bruises from being beaten up by Sehan's mom still hasn't healed.
- Jaehyuk got so angry. He says he should've punched the guy. Garam asks if he wants to get arrested, and Jaehyuk says he'll just pay the fine. Jaehyuk then talks about how they could beat up Sehan without committing murder, and Garam laughs at him.
- Garam thinks that it was hard for him to recall what happened, but he didn't think that he would be so relieved after telling Jaehyuk everything.
- They bicker about who's gonna pay the bill after dinner. Jaehyuk gave his card to the cashier, but it declined. He had forgotten about his problem with his mom.
Thanks once again, Pixie. I was great seeing Garam open up completely to Jaehyuk. This tells me that he isn’t hesitant anymore about their relationship and that he fully trusts Jaehyuk. This was a pleasure to behold, they’ve truly come a long way in their relationship. I think beyond the ex being an obstacle to their relationship, because let’s face it, Garam isn’t gonna put up with his foolishness and Jaehyuk won’t let any ex come between him and his love, that Jaehyuk’s mom may actually prove to be the biggest obstacle to their happiness. I have a sinking feeling she won’t be as accepting as Jaehyuk would like. Hope I’m wrong though.
Right, I was so proud of them this chapter Garam is truly moving forward with Jaehyuk and leaving the past behind. He has Jaehyuk to rely on, and he can laugh now even after recalling his past. And yeah I also think that the mom could be a bigger problem, but I trust that Jaehyuk can deal with her unlike the ex who let his mom hit Garam.
It’s also makes me wonder if Jaehyuk homophobia came from his parents; like he most have learned it somewhere
We do know they more conservative
While Jaehyuk was absolutely dick to Garam at the start lots of his PHYSICAL actions to Garam just seems off, like… idk how to explain it… it was obvious he was attracted to Garam
Cuddling, forehead kisses; Hell even suggesting that Garam will only have him as a sex friend. Seemed weird when rereading this manhwa
(I might have an habit looking too deep in facial expressions of characters)
Idk, lots of actions speaks of internalized homophobia more than anything else
Looking at any scenes he has with women he doesn’t seems attracted to them really;
Idk idk idk
(I’m in no way defending the way Jaehyuk acted to Garam at the start btw; I love his character development. I just LOVE going into the psychological aspects of characters when they first introduce. Gosh I hope author will not disappoint us with Jaehyuk past and how developed his attitude at the start)
(I’m most likely looking too deep into it lmao)
Thanks dear I just love how comfortable they are with eachother now. Also, Jaehuyk is overprotective with Garam and I'm certain he won't let his parents interfere. The problem is that Garam & him are about to be homeless and it will certainly not help xD
I'm not really sure if the author will also dive into Jaehyuk's backstory someday but that would be really interesting too. I also want to know how he became the way he was at the start. I think his parents surely played a part but it could also be that he hung out with bad crowds.
I'm still scared that Garam would be upset if he finds out that Jaehyuk paid for the house tbh. I hope that part doesn't turn into a big problem
you deliver as always
His father seems kinda chill tho. I think his mother is the typical strong and strict Asian mom but not necessarily homophobic. She's a hard working person who doesn't want her son to become a spoiled and irresponsable rich brat (too late?! lol). Actually Jaehuyk is surprisingly a good student and it looks like he didn't turn as bad as his mom seems to think
Right, I also think he's a good student, he's just not an overachiever. I was talking about how Jaehyuk was a womanizer and how he didn't took dating too seriously before Garam.
I agree that we can't judge yet if his parents (mom in particular) are homophobic and that they just don't want him to be irresponsible. But I think the thing is with parents who are too strict, their child would end up doing the opposite like play around in secret because they were too restricted at home lol that's how I think they could've influenced his behavior.
But yeah not really sure if it'll be tackled in the story.
That cliffhanger got everyone talking lmao
If I may add to the discussion, yes, Shinjoo's concerns are valid because Jaehyuk was a womanizer. But Shinjoo is also the friend Jaehyuk has been talking to about his feelings before she even knew he likes a guy. She knew he was finally being serious enough to sell his stuff for a new place, but she finds out Garam was a guy and suddenly Jaehyuk isn't serious anymore. I guess that could speak to how much she couldn't imagine/trust ex-womanizer Jaehyuk to ever like a guy for real, but I think we also can't deny some prejudice there.
Also the things she say about Jaehyuk calling Garam ugly and him saying he'll just get tired of dating him? Garam has always thought those things about Jaehyuk before their relationship improved. What happened was that she reaffirmed his previous doubts, and Jaehyuk immediately said it's not like that anymore. It's upsetting for those previous doubts to be confirmed, but Garam also knows by now that Jaehyuk really likes him. This really can't turn into a fight especially after learning from their previous one.
Pixie, you are a true gem and as always, I thank you. This chapter was so interesting and the way Jaehyuk handled his narrow minded friend. Yes, Jaehyuk may have been a womanizer in the past, but it seems like she can’t even begin to imagine him being with a man. Jaehyuk dealt with her like a pro and defended his relationship with Garam. I was proud of him.
Great summaries and amazing analysis as well
I am amazed to see how much people are now commenting and debating the chapters. It definitely warms my heart. Just few months ago the same people were bashing this BL xD
Yeah I mean I like her concern for Garam, but she doesn't point those out when she still thought he was a girl. She's aware of Jaehyuk's past, but she's also aware of his present and how he's serious enough to live with his partner, but that somehow doesn't matter now because the partner is a guy and Jaehyuk would just be playing if it's a guy.
Anyway, I get that how Jaehyuk's friends view him is the consequences of his actions, but Shinjoo isn't fully right for how she reacted to him imo still a realistic reaction tho
Me too, I enjoy reading the comments now compared to last year hehe people are finally invested enough to debate about the story
girl his dick is reaching his intestines, he's jinjja killing him
- Sehan (the ex) wanted to apologize to Garam because Garam was still angry about the past. Garam asks him, "Aren't you bringing up the past just now to make yourself feel better?"
- Jaehyuk interferes. He introduces himself as Garam's friend, but Sehan caught on and asks if he was the guy who Garam is seeing right now. He also made a comment about how Garam's tastes changed.
- Garam drags Jaehyuk away from there, but Sehan continues talking and says that it was still good to see Garam and that he missed him.
- Jaehyuk asks who the guy was. Garam says it's just someone he knows. He thinks that Jaehyuk would be angry if he said it was his ex. Jaehyuk asks if Garam found it uncomfortable to talk about and says that it's fine already because Garam doesn't have to tell him about every single person he meets.
- Jaehyuk fails at acting nonchalant. He was saying stuff like "I was really bothered that he said he missed you, but you seemed uncomfortable so why bother. Well, I'm not really curious," while gripping the steering wheel. He was insisting that he's not curious throughout the chapter but his actions say otherwise lol
- Garam can tell that Jaehyuk was really very curious. He gives in and says that the guy was his ex, that they met in high school and that he was his first love.
Happy new year Pixie!! What an interesting chapter. I’m getting a weird vibe from the ex even though he seems genuine in his apology to Garam. However, he was basically taunting Jaehyuk at the end there because why tell Garam he misses him as he’s walking off if not to get under both Garam and Jaehyuk’s skin? I don’t like him and I can see him trying to weasel his way back into Garam’s life. He knows Garam’s past, his likes, dislikes in a way Jaehyuk doesn’t and I feel he will try to use this to his advantage. I’m hoping our guys won’t let this come between them and derail their budding relationship.
me too! the look on his face when jaehyuk appeared was so suspicious, and yeah, he was definitely taunting them. i think it shouldn't matter whether he knows garam well tho because garam is so angry at him. it would just be annoying if he keeps pestering garam at work while pretending to be a good guy. i hope jaehyuk or garam can find some way to get rid of him.
I agree, however, Garam’s anger could also mean there’s still some low-key feelings there. I’m hoping I’m wrong, and Garam just plain hates the guy. I could just see him leaving snacks on Garam’s desk at work and finding excuses to see Garam at his office during working hours. Ugh, I just don’t have a good feeling about him.
You have all my gratitude for this translation I was dying to know what the ex was saying. He's definitely acting sus. The fact he saw Jaehuyk means he'll get jealous over their relationship and will try to mess things up. I have the feeling Jaehuyk will not stand staying apart from Garam while the ex is around. With his mother threatening to kick him out of the house, he may find the worst solution possible to solve these two problems: join Garam at the same company so he can spy on them and also get money to reimburse his parents. Jaehuyk is not chill enough to sit back and watch lol
ohh that could definitely happen lmao jaehyuk trying to solve two problems at once
- Jaehyuk says he wants the sweetest drink and that his taste depends on his lover. Sehan says that he also ate a lot of sweets thanks to Garam.
- Sehan says, "I think his personality is still the same. It's still really awkward for him to say 'I like you' right?" and Jaehyuk is slowly getting pissed but he just says that he got used to it. Then Sehan mentions how Garam was so cute when he confessed to him, and Jaehyuk calls him a cocky asshole in his head.
- Jaehyuk thinks that Garam must've been so cute in high school. He imagines Garam having a spiky hair like a punk. He thinks that he would've bought Garam tteokbokki everyday if they went to the same school.
- Jaehyuk calms down and thinks that what matters is that he's Garam's current boyfriend and that he's happier with him. But he realizes that he doesn't dress Garam well and imagines Garam looking pitiful for wearing plaid shirt to work. He becomes determined to give Garam a makeover.
- Garam avoids going to the cafe during lunch and went back to his desk. He thanks Jaehyuk for giving him a ride thru text, and Jaehyuk tells him it's not for free and he has to pay with his body.
- The assistant manager arrived and gave him coffee. He tells him it's from Sehan, and Garam wasn't pleased.
- Garam went to the cafe. He tells Sehan that they shouldn't be involved with each other and just be strangers. Sehan says he doesn't want to.
- Break next week </3
Wdym there's chap 86 already?? I need thaat! Where do you read those?
search 선 넘는 사이 on newtoki468 dot com
The hell Sehan wants? Was he really in love with Garam and simply couldn't handle the social pressure? He doesn't look mean so I can't really hate him as of now lol
Thanks for sharing the summary with us
Ohmygod thank you for the update tho. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Sehan can go die though (▰˘◡˘▰)
Hes a coward. My guess is that he feels guilty and still has feelings towards Garam, but fuck him. Like this is harassment, if he really feels remorse for making Garam go through something like that he would leave Garam alone after an apology.
Then again thats just my guess, maybe he is straight up villain, then at least id not feel bad about raising my empathy cap.
After all Jaehyuk has been a dick, but he has repented.
So many emotions for these 2d characters, man. Its good stuff.
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧ ┗( T﹏T )┛
I found him cocky from his convo with Jaehyuk because why was he talking like that to someone's current boyfriend it's like he doesn't know his place
Yeah I don't appreciate him repeatedly ignoring that Garam wants him to stay away (like Jaehyuk pre character development, thank god Jaehyuk learned to listen to Garam).
Him being regretful and still having feelings is also my guess, but he's still acting selfishly if that's the case. I agree that if he really cares for Garam then he should just leave him alone.
Thanks Pixie, as always! Sehan like one commentator mentioned is a coward who feels sorry for how he treated Garam after they were discovered by his mom, and now he’d like a chance to make it right. Garam is gonna see right through him and Jaehyuk won’t let him even sniff at getting back with Garam. Jaehyuk is so whipped for Garam and vice versa for Garam.
Right, there's no chance of him winning Garam over, but it's gonna be interesting how this develops in the future chapters.
It's almost funny how Sehan is still only prioritizing himself and putting what he wants or what's convenient to him first. Garam is in a relationship. Him wanting to reconnect with Garam now is just him trying to make himself feel better without thinking about what Garam wants or what makes Garam happy.
Sometimes it's too late to apologize or "fix" things and all you can do is move on. Garam isn't interested in an apology or anything from him but he's pushing himself onto Garam. It's so trashy. Sehan is so self-obsessed. He's a coward and would make an awful partner. You don't know when he'd jump ship or throw you under the bus for his own convenience. Absolutely not boyfriend-material.
That's what I think too! I hope he gets humbled.
