does no one else think this could've been a seke couple

THE SECONDHAND EMBARRASSMENT IS SO STRONG RIGHT NOW DG NOOO
ughhh maya i love you but you need to stop avoiding questions
you're being super shady
this story is connected to a oneshot by the same author called "rekka".
(this comment will contain spoilers so read both this oneshot and chapter 6 of zhen before you read my comment)
so there isn't any confusion, we'll call the seme flower 1, and we'll call the uke flower 2.
now. rekka follows flower 1's pov. we see that he is in love with flower 2, but flower 2 is in love with an insect, and wants to bear fruit for him.
every year, one (1) flower is chosen, and that flower will bear fruits. flower 1 has been chosen for a couple times before rekka. flower 2 wants to be chosen, like i said before, so he can bear fruits for that insect he's in love with. so, flower 2 goes to flower 1 during the winter to get advice on how to be chosen. they have sex, flower 1 doesn't admit his feelings outright though. he says that to bear fruits, a flower needs to be jealous.
flower 1 is jealous of the insect that flower 2 is in love with. which is why i think he was chosen for a couple of times.
after this, flower 1 "retires" and nominates flower 2 to be chosen next. flower 2 is chosen, as we see in ch 6 of zhen.
now, let's move over to what's happening in ch 6 of zhen.
we are introduced to the insect that flower 1 is in love with. he's having a flashback to a year before, when he learned that flower 2 could not bear fruit or nectar. flower 2 says that while he cannot bear fruit, he loves the insect.
the flashback is over, and we see the insect, who is with flower 1, pollinating (having sex). flower 1 tells the insect that only one flower out of all the rest bears fruit. he also asks the insect "just how many times this year have you been covered in pollen?" which indicates that this insects goes around to a lot of different flowers. the insect responds "i can't help it, you all smell so delicious, even though there's nothing inside". at this point, flower 1 tells the insect that flower 2 had become the top flower if that year. (the fact that flower 1 tells him this is important). he says that if the insect is looking for fruit, he might find some there (with flower 2).
there is another small flashback, where flower 2 tells the insect "i don't want to let you go to any other flower" (jealousy). so then, the insect heads over to flower 2. as he approaches, flower 2 tells him to not come any closer because he's covered in another flower's pollen. the insect asks if flower 2 is jealous, to which flower 2 responds "i had no idea! to become the top flower i..." at which point, the insect flies down into his flower. he's looking around, and mentions that there's a barb at the top of the flower, then asks himself how he's supposed to get out.
we then see flower 2 say "there's no exit." flower 2 then explains that if a flower becomes the top flower of the year, they close the escape hatch for insects. he says "you can never leave here again. i will use the pollen on your body for fertilization and make fruit. the most splendid flower is a deeply jealous one."
additionally, these flowers are japanese arisaema. these are sex-changing flowers, as the author stated. these flowers have a "pitfall trap". usually, it's carnivorous flowers that have this, but the arisaema use it as a method of pollination. the key points that relate to this story are the differences between the male and female plants. male japanese arisaema have a hole at the bottom of the flower so that when an insect goes into the flower, they get a bunch of pollen on them and come out of the hole at the bottom, then (hopefully) go to a female flower and pollinate. this is key, because the insect that flower 2 is in love with was stated to "be covered in pollen" often, which indicates that he goes through a lot of male flowers (perhaps all of these encounters are sexual, but we aren't really shown an explanation). in any case, this is why flower 2 was okay with meeting the insect. the insect could still leave the flower afterwards.
now, the female japanese arisaema, hoever, doesn't have an escape hatch for insects. it would be really hard for an insect who went down into a female arisaema to get back out, hence why flower 2 was crying. therefore, the insect most likely would die.
i hope this explained some things to you, because i think this story was wayyy too vague and actually could have been really interesting, but it wasn't. it was mostly confusing.
Yeah, it is confusing but this explanation helped explain a lot. You even delved into the scientific background of the flower itself. I still see insect seme as an ass however.
me too but the flower seme is just as bad sdjjf he set the whole thing up bc of his jealousy. wild.
I don't disagree.
Wow that was thorough, thanks! Learned some flower anatomy today. I guess u could say flower 2 was "deflowered" previously hahaha I'll leave now
Ok how the hell did you get all this?! Did I miss part of the chapter? Cause I didnt inderstand any of it. Granted, it is 5 am and I haven’t slept for over 24 hours so I wouldn’t say trust myself to understand anything
Though for some reason the time on my comment is 12:14 pm???? When it’s 4:45 rn??? Oh, maybe the site goes by a single time...idk I should sleep
They looked up information about the flower and read the other one shot by the same author about this couple? If there is something else they said that confused you I must have missed that myself but it would explain my own confusion. T.
Yeah, there's a single time for everyone otherwise the time stamps, if copied, would confuse other people.
no you didn't miss anything (probably)! there's another oneshot by this author called rekka, that's kind of like a prequel i guess? it's connected to the story.
Thanks man, I love the lesson. I found this concept by the mangaka extremely creative even though it is only a one shot so I’m glad to see a more detailed explanation ^^
this story is connected to a story in "zhen" (chapter 6).

Ahhh Σ( ￣□￣||)
Now I have to try to go to sleep thinking about this (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Your explanation was too good
（/TДT)/
Thank you for your explanation especially about the facts about flowers, I reread this countless of times but I only understood well now, Bless you sister (づ￣ ³￣)づ
you're welcome!
you're welcome!
Thanks for your explaination, it ks well done... I also found thid:

that's what i referenced in my explanation atually
that's what i referenced in my explanation atually
damn that was a mf ESSAY can't believe i put this much effort into figuring out the plot of a vague two shot yaoi and failed all my college classes.
Lol!!!!
This is hella late but there is a prequel story to this in the authors other works. I think the cover is primarily blue, and it explais the motove of flower 1
thanks for the explaination! now I am at ease to now know what actually happened and I am bothered to know that flower 2 is actually a woman?
he's not a woman, it's just the biology of the flowers.
this is fiction, after all.
me begging my brain to cooperate a lil bit w reading this at 4am
The fact that a flower that can bear fruit must feel jealousy.
Thats why flower 2 can bear fruit is because he was so jealous and envied other male flowers since he became a female flower.
Which also means he cannot see nor have him be pollinated by the one he loves, the insect.
Because he will end up trapping him and eventually kill him. And so the more despair/envy he feels the more he will bear fruit and carry the burden of being the number 1 flower that bears fruit.
And I can also see that this is how flower 1 made flower 2 miserable since both of them suffer from unrequited love.
Imagine dreaming of becoming the only one who can bear fruit for the person you love, only to realize that you will end up killing them when you finally have it.
So deeeeeep! I love how deep it is.
Thank you for the explanation since I can't read the whole chapter 6 of "zhen" since some pages aren't loading.
Thank youuuuuu
yooo i cant even read the ch 6 of zhen since it doesnt load on most of people’s phones （/TДT)/
Thank you for this! Because chapter 6 of zhen is missing and i can't find it anywhere
"my type..." *cuts to 10-12 year olds playing*
"you're at least 150 cm, right? or am i wrong? and your weight? ... your voice is pretty high pitched has it not started changing yet?"
"you're so thin"
"your waist is so slender, and you sound like a girl"
"you're just like a little kid, koino" (!)
"you see, i'm the sort of pervert who sees your small and weak childish body that looks like it would snap if i held you, and it makes me want to do terrible things to you. if you understand, then don't look at me anymore"
"i've been so pitiful with these warped desires that i couldn't tell anyone"
"i'll be careful not to get any bigger, ok?" (koino)
he literally admitted to being a p*d*phile and some of y'all still in denial jesus christ
whoever thumbed down can suck my metaphorical dick
whoever thumbed down can suck my metaphorical dick
I absolutely agree!! That's why i gave it 4 stars instead 5 even though i really enjoyed the rest but that story really put me off!!
yep same it was super creepy
Yesss! Only one i didnt like was disgusting how they showed his type whilst looking at kids
same. i really enjoyed everything else. the main part that worries me is the fact that ppl in the comments get so bothered if you point it out.
I know right!! Its like Shotacon when they are tiny kids in elementary school or something and they are with an adult its honestly shocking that people like that...
even worse, they constantly bring up that "the age of consent in japan is 13" (it's not, really). it's basically saying it's ok for a 13 y/o to have sex with a 20+ year old? nasty.
Init nastyyyy!! Especially when in whatever country they are from its like 16+ and they think its okay to read!
I looked through some mangas with Shotacon and some if the comments is shocking!!, how they love how petite the uke is ect
like yeah i'm not gonna curse someone out for just reading something but like... all of the ppl who read it comment about how they liked it, how it was good, how "cute" the bottom was, etc etc. it's really wEIRD. and how they defend it whenever someone says "this is wrong" like god. it's especially worrying that a lot of ppl who think it's okay ARE minors. like i seriously fckn hope that they aren't looking for an adult partner.
also i'm pretty sure erotic shotacon/lolicon is actually illegal in a lot of countries but that's none of my business.
basically what i'm saying is there's a reason that 18+ mangas ARE 18+. they could badly influence younger people.
Yes definitely makes you also wonder what the authors are thinking when making them means they obviously have a little fetish for drawing kids...
yes! i've even seen one say "[underage character] is so sexy" like WTF?! most of these authors are like 30+ years old.
I get people like different things but if anyone likes kids and small kid characters is shocking
Thumbs up solely for this comment
I understand where you came from and I thought the same but then kino said that he might change and the seme said that he'll still love him if he does but this happens after they confirm there feeling for each other

Um so I went to chap 4 too see wut ur talking about. Honestly I don't think he's a pedo, I think his type is just cute smol people. There wasn't anyone else there to compare so :1
No.
No
No
no.
nO.
Sure, as long as you're 13 or younger.
Honestly i Think he is 16 or something or younger. And he could have just looked outside just to watch and there were children. And please there are adults who look like that, so your telling me, that since I'm just 1.40, veeery slim and have a high voice, this means that only pedos would date me? This is making me sad.
Okey about the watching part I was wrong. Didn't even notice it until I checked, sorry. Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one bothered by this, like it’s super disturbing
whew i came back here and was about to reread but then i peeped the comments and remembered how much this pissed me off
I am so agreed. Hinata was victom here. I really disliked Seshir. He lied and he used Hinata's body for his own pleasure, he didn't even tought about a virgin body. He just used it as he pleased. I wish it was a countinues for this. I want to see how this story can pay Seshir back what he deserve.
yeah can we just forget alex exists and just focus on md and chanwoo thanks
How cute were they sitting in the computer chair together!!
