Bro wants to be a Little (is it called that?)
This unlocked a memory LMAO. Makes me remember when I checked out this wat .Tp4d story where it had age play and I coudnt get it no matter how hard I tried. There was a side couple too with a matching little (still unsure of the name for it cause it’s been years), and the mc had play dates with their friend lol
I’m sickkkk. He’s blaming it all on the FL but he’s also part of the problem. Sure FL clearly has some personality issues and likely values her reputation as a counselor more than she should. But what ML did was literally emotional cheating and regular cheating. He was swayed and enjoyed being with the homewrecker. He went out one-on-one to several places (basically dates) with the whole “counseling” excuse without telling his wife. He got kissed by the homewrecker, didn’t tell his wife, etc.
He’s all like “woe is me!” I’m having doubts about that the FL is hiding, but HE contributed to cheating. And he’s fcking upset that she broke the rule to not read each other’s mind, but he gave her that insecurity to even get to that point. He also set that up that rule only recently BECAUSE he knew he’d be caught.
I saw a social media post about this and thought it’d be a nice read and assumed that the ML would actually be good and affectionate (like the title says) after she literally took care of him during his coma. But clearly he turned out to wake up and be a bigger piece of shit than I ever expected. He fr should’ve just stayed in that coma for good. Would’ve done everyone a favor.
Basically the first part with the girl with bangs, he played along to help his grandfather. Though he didn’t punish the girl enough after discovering her crime. At most he said a simple “sorry.” to the FL for this incident. Even the grandpa of the ML was way more apologetic and also scolded the ML for making FL suffer. That’s how that part ended. Then he constantly goes on about how he’s only being nice to her because he should and that it’s a contract marriage, that he’ll never have feelings for her. He get jealous, etc. He’s in denial of his own feelings despite others pointing it out. Even as he slept with FL and woke up and she told him that he admitted he loved her, he denied it yet again.
He later tells her they’ll get a divorce in 3 months and to move to a separate floor. Then he finds out she’s pregnant, takes it back right away and tells her he’ll officially marry her and that they can grow feelings afterwards. But then another chick who’s his “savior” is found and he immediately stands FL up, picking his savior up and letting her live in the house, taking care of her all night, scolding and getting mad at FL every time FL is framed by the two-faced savior. ITS LITERALLY A REPEAT OF THE FIRST RIVAL. But this time ML actually believes it and shows exactly how much of a dumbass he is. Even the person who made the food pointed out that the savior set her up, but ML is like “how could she possibly do that.” FL says she wants to separate and leaves the house. Only for her to be in danger again, ML saves her again, and he takes her back to his house where he yet AGAIN lets go of FL to take care of the savior. How FL hasn’t thought to kick ML in throat yet, astounds me.

I swear he must have a fetish for ppl who saved his ass. What’s sad about it is the fact that FL was told by her female friend that she should leave him, blatantly saying ML isn’t good and that he causes her pain and only takes care of the other girl. FL has a backbone for like 2 seconds max, and just falls into the cycle of going back to him over and over again. It’s also disappointing to see that FL was literally given a second chance at life but chooses to spend it so naively. It’s a shame cause the ML’s character design is good and I liked the art, but the writing of the FL and ML’s characters is hot garbage.
That blonde chick is another psycho bitch. She had those crazy eyes and also said she’d kill herself if he didn’t accept to her confession. ML got triggered all over again. Good thing FL was able to get to him and put that bitch in her place lmao.
Anyways personally no 2nd lead syndrome for me. I know what I signed up for and I like the ML. Too many ppl don’t like flawed MLs and that’s why they settle for every copy paste “perfect” ML with the same basic puppy that worships the FL personality.
It’s actually so crazy to me how many readers are actually as naive as the mc here (maybe even worse than mc). The amount of ppl who hate on mc but praise minwoo is insane. Luckily there’s a few actual smart beings here who recognize how bad minwoo is. It’s really sad that I have to break it down for ppl. I’m gonna point out all of minwoo’s flaws:
It’s concerning ppl don’t realize any red flags about minwoo. He IS obsessive and controlling. Just cause he’s his childhood friend and was traumatized doesn’t mean he has the right to control mc. Even mc’s sister went through the same thing that night and isn’t as obsessive or controlling as he is. She has actual good balance of being cautious but knows mc is an adult who should make his own choices.
There’s GOOD reason to think he’s obsessive, minwoo LITERALLY admitted it himself TWICE. He straight up said how he controls mc because he benefits from it, and how he is obsessed with him. In chapter 1, Mc points out that minwoo doesn’t even like it when he’s in a group chat with new people. He polices who he gets to be around. He forces mc to stop seeing ml and literally monitors him and stays at his house in order to keep him from leaving. He kisses mc in his sleep. He loses his shit and beats ml unconscious just because he saw mc and ml mutually making out. While also calmly takes mc away while he’s about to get gangbanged. He can keep his cool when there’s an actual concerning criminal act right in front of his face but can’t keep his cool when he’s jealous seeing a consenting act. Like cool you saved him, guess you’re redeemed and chose to act like an actual normal friend starting now. Minwoo’s character is literally the starter possessive borderline Yandere friend ML in other stories.

And I really hope I don’t see any minwoo dick riders come to his defense with the excuse that he’s better than ML. Quite frankly idgaf about the ML or the mc for that matter. It’s obvious ML isn’t a good guy either. I just like pointing out flaws in a character when most of the readers don’t seem to realize it. It’s like in order for most readers to get it through their head that a character isn’t 100% good, it has to be on some demonic level shit explained to them bluntly. (Although I do wanna point one thing out: I saw all minwoo and ML’s interactions and it’s surprising how chill ML is around minwoo. Even as he faced minwoo who beat him unconscious, he doesn’t even have any feeling of wanting to get back at him or lay a hand on him. He doesn’t like him but he’s not quick to jump to violence).
They’re still cute but I do miss the old artstyle this manga had in the first volume. The first volume was the most detailed. As the story progressed the art became more simplified and turned to a more chibi-style. They look skinnier in both body and face now too
I’m confused why ppl all of a sudden think that they’re some pushovers for drinking the drink. They’re on a mission, they gotta do what they have to do to not raise suspicion. They’re there for info on “money laundering and political ties.” Which was said in the papers in chapter 13. Obviously both have the ability to reject it, but to get info you gotta try to fit in. Them rejecting it would just make the group wonder why they’re even there in the first place. It’s like an undercover cop saying no when they purposely go to a sketchy place.
So basically they’re kinda like swingers/poly/open relationship? They swap partners, have 3p/4p. I’m just surprised so many ppl disliked it, cause the basic 3p where the FL is only focused on, can be found in literally any other smut story with this trope. She ends up with the tan dude, but they both mutually agreed to have a 3p with the light haired dude again, then let FL’s female friend join. FL and ML was also super chill with each other fucking other ppl. And it’s implied that the light haired dude gets with FL’s friend. It looks like THEY ALL suit each other and are chill to have fun lmao.
Anyways there’s two other stories, one if the “what if” she ended up with the light haired dude instead of the tan guy. And another is the story of FL’s brother and coworker. I will say, out of everyone FL’s brother and his coworker(now gf) are the hottest characters lol.
Usually I don’t point out art like this, but did anyone else notice her side profile is insanely skinny? Specifically her waist and arms lmao
I’m glad I didn’t keep up with this manhwa and only checked in. So basically she never gets into a relationship. But it’s an open ending. It’s heavily implied she loves the brown haired guy, and the brown haired guy knows it too. But they’re all separated (including the blonde). She’s in her world while waiting for brown hair. Brown hair just lives out his life as a regular human until he one day meets her again.
I’m surprised people still don’t get that this isn’t a timeline based story, it’s an alternate universe story. I know some people find it hard to separate characters from the originals, but OG aeroc meets Kloff 2.0. He isn’t the same guy who did all that stuff. He is SEPARATE from him. Save all your hatred towards the actual OG kloff that did that, OG kloff gets his own story by also ending up in an alternate universe.
So I saw ahead chapters and they’re literally so cute. It reminds me of the classic highschool crush, getting all excited texting someone back and forth.
(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Although I am worried since the description of this story says that they reunite in highschool but that they also reunite as adults. So they’re probably gonna go no contact again at some point ;-;
Dang looking back at the 1st season art- I miss itttt. The beginning art made them look so hot and mature. I feel like the art made their faces smaller and more simplified. It becomes especially apparent if you compare images of the ML in the latest chapter and the 1st season ML. The hair and the face art went from detailed hot to simple cute. The closest we get to getting it back to the old style is when they’re having sex and being all serious lmfao.
I’m in actual shock rn. So basically this manhwa was cancelled because of the controversy of the artist right? So I remember YEARS ago, liking this artist account on social media, and I loved their art a lot. Then checking up on them, I find all their accounts gone, and everyone who made oc ships with them got rid of their stories together. I had no idea what happened to the artist and then searched around just now years later (I forgot their username), found out their user along with posts in regards to them. People said how they were weird, stealing oc stories, having a d-1$cord that allowed minors to see sexual stuff. Then I find out that same artist became a manhwa artist for this story?! And now the dots are connected because their art does look like this art. It’s crazy the story was cancelled because they dug DEEP to find that history. I just never knew a cancelled artist (speaking fluent English) and got cancelled on English speaking servers, found their way to Korean publishers and got work. But then again, they were said to have been Korean- so it’s pretty crazy they found a work around for a short time by jumping country platforms lmao.
CLARIFICATION ON THE MOM:
Idk why people are confused, maybe people don’t remember what they read? They already have shown a hint that taeha’s biological mother was hospitalized and dead. The woman in the reason chapters is the wife of taeha’s biological dad. That woman is TAEHEE’S mom. Aka the older brother of taeha.
Don’t forget that these chapters are NOT ALWAYS ACCURATE translations. I just looked at a different scanlation team’s translation of chapter 73 on b4tO, and the wife says, “Be good to TAEHEE. He’s different from you. He’s fragile and gets hurt easily.” There’s a total of three different English scanlation teams/translators on bato (Pandy, Luna toons, and diva scans) that are up to date. Two out of three translated what the mom said as “taehee.” Only one mistakenly said “taeha.” The one who got it wrong was Diva scans. Though it looks like temple toons got it wrong too.

I’m gonna leave my takes on some characters:
The sister was too realistic, by far the most annoying to me. Just super inconsiderate and selfish 24/7. She stayed longer than I hoped she would in the story lmao.
For blue haired dude, I didn’t feel bad for him. Mainly cause the situation isn’t just a normal friend getting ghosted. It was wrong for gichan to even introduce his fwb to hyobin. And it was especially wrong that he only said “he’s just a friend” when that isn’t the extent of how far he went with him. And let’s just say it’s a GIVEN that if you start a friends with benefits relationship with someone, that your “friendship” or contact would someday be cut off. Because there’s no way most partners would be comfy with the fwb staying connected. Blue hair should’ve known that and understood that from their relationship alone. I also wanna add how weird it was that when he was introduced to hyobin and as Vivian and hyobin were leaving, blue hair asked for a kiss ad hyobin was right there?? Blue hair KNOWS the history and context, but did that?? Anyways he’ll be fine, it’s clear he can make friends with anyone with how unbothered he is.
Hyobin: for feeling upset about gichan having with a fwb relationship with blue hair. I think it’s valid. Personally if a friend says they’ve been in love with me for years, we mutually start getting together, and then later I find out they’ve still been in contact with their fuck buddy, I’d be upset. Now if it’s just about how Gichan slept with someone else before, I would think of it like I’d rather have my friend tell me they just recently started to like me in that way and I wouldn’t be bothered. But saying it like you’ve loved me all these years kinda makes me think your feelings were very strong, only to water those feelings down by the hook ups.
Gichan: now I’m not saying gichan was wrong for having relations with others. It’s also valid to try stuff with others and he’s not obligated to hold onto this crush which he thought had no future of being true. The only flaw he had was making his crush and his fwb meet each other and not tell his crush the full context of his relationship with his fwb.

Oh yeah to further elaborate on that thing about feeling bothered by your childhood friend confessing they loved you for years only to find out they’ve had constant hook ups: it’s because it reminds me of this toxic ML from a straight manga I read. He gaslit the FL. Basically they reunited and he confessed saying he’s always loved her all this time and has been waiting to be with her. But then she finds out he’s been having sex with multiple girls before her and she talks to him about it. Only for him to be upset and say something like “this and that are other matters. I have my needs. And I also can’t take back what I’ve done.” Then proceeds to just persuade her to move on from it.
Honestly when the main couple’s story is over, I would really like to see another season or spin off of seyeon’s story. Cause their family is soooo cute. Their baby is too adorable
