I bet Winter's request to Jason was to put fake drugs in that briefcase.
Holy hell. I completely forgot about this until this update out of the blue. Thank you so much translator for your work.
Reading these thirsty comments has me wheezing. Y'ALL FILTHY ANIMALS!! (I am no better. I too am filthy animal.)
Last chapter. The way the uke lifted up the seme so effortlessly was damn hot
I didn't expect to see an update one year later. Thank you translators and uploader!!
PSA because I’m honestly fed up. People keep throwing around words like groomer and pedo when talking about the loaner uncle, and completely misinterpreting the flashback scene. So let’s clear this up.
Right before the flashback, there’s a really important detail people seem to be ignoring. The loaner uncle is in the car, talking with his driver. The driver asks him, “Why now? It’s been over ten years, why step in?” And that’s exactly what leads into the flashback we, as readers, see. It’s not random. It’s showing us why he’s finally choosing to act.
In the flashback, the loaner uncle had gone to collect payment from the MC’s dad. Instead, he found the MC alone in the house, trying to sleep off a high fever, with a fever patch on his forehead. That’s when he really saw the extent of the abuse. Bruises all over his body, with no one around to care for him. Just a sick child, completely neglected, while his dad was off meeting someone for fun. The loaner uncle felt guilt and sympathy, but also knew he wasn’t supposed to feel that way because of the nature of their debtor-loaner relationship. That’s why he said, “...because between us… not even a shred of sympathy was allowed to exist.”
If you reread the webtoon, you’ll notice there were hints earlier that he suspected something wasn’t right at home. But this moment is when it fully sank in. When the panel shifts from the MC’s flushed, fevered face to the uncle silently staring at him with that solemn expression, it’s clear MC's reality hit him hard.
This scene is not romantic. It’s not sexual. It’s not grooming. It’s a fucking turning point, for him as a character, and for us as the readers. It shows why the loaner is stepping in now. He wants to finally do something right. He wants to protect the MC.
And now, he wants to protect the MC from the ML and his family, because he knows the MC is going to get hurt all over again.
Seriously, people need to stop tossing around words like groomer and pedo without actually reading what’s on the page. It’s exhausting watching people jump 1000 meters in the completely wrong direction based on one scene they didn’t even take the time to understand.
I KNEW that scene was coming with Cherry. She sure was suspiciously quiet while they were getting it on. Too busy learning the phrases
Help am I blind or what. I didn't see it as the unc having romantic feelings towards the MC. More like he feels guilty and is tryin to do right by him now as his guardian, and protect the MC from ML and his fam.
The peaceful wrap up of S1 is filling me with so much dread.
Poor MC, can't catch a break. Falls into one tiger's arms, and now into another. Lucky quack.
Having read the spoilers for the novel, I'm increasingly terrified every time there's a new update on here. But I can't help running back lmaooo. Really praying for a different ending..
WHAT DO THOSE TWO FRUITS ON THE PLATE MEAN!? What's the symbolism!? TWINS????
I ran, I crawled, I somersaulted my ass over here once I saw the notif!!
Someone please explain to my dumb ass what Mokyeon meant by, "are you gonna out me too?" Exposing what exactly?
Anyone know where I can read the novel in English?
Omg I just realised Yeongwoon was sleeping on the floor. Seoin moved him to his bed before he answered Heo Yool's call where he smugly told him that Yeongwoon was sleeping soundly in his bed haha
