YO is jarred back to his senses and realizes how foolish he'd been to show up at JH's office and then offer to trade sex on impulse, especially when he's sworn himself to never do it.
YO gets off the table and puts his pants back on. JH tries to get his attention, but YO just picks up his coat and tells JH that he's leaving. JH grabs YO on the arm and asks to wait. He states that he doesn't know why he behaved the way he did just now. YO tells him to pretend it didn't happen and to forget what he has said. YO attempts to free himself, but JH moves both his hands on YO's upper arms, holding him in place. JH says that he knows YO doesn't want to spare time talking to him right now, but implores that YO listen.
Since YO doesn't want to be beholden to JH, he declares that he has an idea on how YO can repay his "debt." JH proposes that he pay for YO's time and that it will only be for a few meetings. JH quickly dashes that and changes it to three meetings. JH clarifies that they will only meet to talk. With that, YO's debt will be cleared. YO doesn't say anything and just stares at JH. JH then apologizes for the times he'd been rude and begs to be given a chance. YO says he will think about it.
•••
It's still nighttime and JH is now at home. He's in his office and is watching something on his screen. It's the video from that night he picked up YO from the club. JH watches in terror and anger. A memory of his own vile actions flash through his mind. Regretfully, he admits that he's no different from those men in the video. That he doesn't even deserve a chance to say sorry.
Meanwhile, JH gets a phone call from one of his men. He reports that the camera used to film YO has been retrieved. They also believe that no other copy or back-up has been made. JH asks if they're certain. His man says he's positive. He also mentions that they've managed to locate the loanshark. He asks JH for instructions on how to proceed. JH says he'll take care of it.
•••
YO is in a meeting. Seems like his contract on modeling for Haekang Electronics is back on the table, and I guess he's agreed to sign it this time. They discussed ideas and plans. The meeting adjourns and YO is invited out for lunch. Apparently, it has come to their attention that YO forewent food to attend the meeting.
Upon arrival at the restaurant, his companion says he has an urgent phone call to take. A reservation has been made in advance and he instructs YO to go ahead as he excuses himself. On the way, YO thinks about his new deal with JH. A week has gone by since their last interaction, but he hasn't heard a peep from JH. YO wonders if JH's really waiting for his answer. He also mulls on what sort of relationship JH intends to have with him if JH's this bent on making amends. Just when he's finally making up his mind, YO despairs at the timing.
YO makes it to their room and is surprised to find JH there, seated and already has started on his food. JH looks up and invites YO in. Having heard that YO has been skipping meals, JH says he took the liberty of ordering for him. YO expresses displeasure over people keeping tabs on him and JH apologizes. Cause someone's being a sneaky bastard, YO reminds JH that he has yet to respond to his proposal. JH says he knows. He asks if YO's been doing well.......then adds that he's there because he wanted to see YO.
-end-
Wonder why JH said he will only ask to meet YO three times. Will he finally leave YO alone? Or is it three meetings to make YO fall back in love with him? Three meetings to figure out what he really wants from YO?
Thank you (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Tysm (*´∀`)
Thanks! Jaehyuk is conceited, up until this point he solved everything with money and influence, but now he has learned money can't fix what he did. 3 meetings won't be enough to undo the trauma he inflicted on Yeon Oh. Tricked Yeon Oh into meeting with him before getting a response because he knows he's losing Yeon Oh for good if he doesn't fix this soon. Every time they have sex, Yeon Oh will be traumatized more, reliving how Jaehyuk used and discarded him, he should have never accepted the offer to be repaid with sex.
You're right! Only 3 meetings to repair the damage JH did to YO!?? Clearly not enough...
I used translation tools but you managed to explain the chapter even better than the translator! Thank u sm I love your comments and opinions too!
Idk why but I have a feeling that YO's mom will appear or that they will talk in those three times about YO's mom. I have a feeling but not so sure,... What do you think? Waiting every week is eating me up from the inside and at this point I just wanna discuss and make small theories on how the story will go aaaaaaa
JH is such a moron. Honestly, I can no longer excuse him because of his painful past or the kind of family he grew up in. He's a fucking adult. He's seen the state YO was in when he nearly drove him over years ago. He's heard what Sangho did to him. He knows the kind of person YO's father was. Why add yourself to the list of people who's taking advantage of him?
YO has been hinting already on how he regards himself, thanks to JH's manipulations, the verbal and sexual assaults last season, plus Sangho's predatory behavior. Didn't JH ever think that maybe accepting YO's offer might only validate his beliefs? Was it too hard to be mature and do the right thing, Kwon?
Argggggghhh....this anencephalic conceited man...71 chapters and he's still the same asshole. Are you that insensitive to connect the tragic dots that has hounded YO all his life?? I'd rather you just busy yourself with the trial, Kwon. Isn't that what you're all about? The fucking USB.
Kapal ng foundation sa mukha.
gaga skin color yan HAHA
Alam ko, pero ganun yung dating. Hahaha.
Thought the hiatus was next week. :3 Sorry, guys. Here's the spoilers for cap. 70 I posted last week: https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/14527524/
Meanwhile, let's all enjoy YO's disillusionment of Kwon: https://imgur.com/a/7RD1KQV
YO leans in to kiss JH, who is still stunned about what YO said. YO tongues his lips and JH starts reciprocating, but when YO starts putting his hand in his pants, JH grabs and moves it away.
JH puts on a stern face and tells YO not to do something he'll regret. YO says, "what is even there to regret?" Maybe it's JH who's regretting for acquanting himself with a lowly guy. (YO probably describes himself that way after Sangho's revelation in chapter 68)
JH says that's not what he meant. YO smirks then asks what is it then? JH has his eyebrows scrunched and is at a loss for words. YO says, "See? You got nothing to say." JH still has that frustrated look and says he doesn't know how to deal with YO right now. He then kisses YO, who looks surprised.
Kiss, kiss, kiss, and next thing we know, YO is on JH's desk with his pants off. JH is loosening his ass. He's taking his time, but YO says it's okay now. Hurry up and put it in already. JH, looking grumpy, says he's not done yet, that YO isn't loose enough for him to fit in. YO sneers and asks "since when did you care about that?" JH has no response to that but says he needs YO to relax his ass as he starts putting himself in.
Some resistance, but JH forces it in. JH fucks YO on his desktop as YO bites his finger to keep his moans in. JH looses his tie then continues fucking YO. JH then leans his forehead on YO's and kisses him. He touches YO's face after, and it must be getting tender as JH leans in to kiss YO again, but something spooks him, forcing him to push JH off. JH looks in surprise. YO is frozen as he processes a thought.
Something from the night JH sexually assaulted him came back to YO. In chapter 59, YO cries as he asks JH why he's making him read into everything again. Why does JH keep on making him look like a fool? JH responds with a kiss and asks if YO was reading into that as well. Like, how many times must he remind YO that he's "just doing what [he] can"? (Long story short, it was JH telling YO he was just some piece of ass and must be why [my personal opinion] YO decided to sell himself to JH)
YO, back to himself now, covers his mouth and tells JH not to kiss him.
-End of chapter 71-
I'm glad YO doesn't ignore what JH has done to him. It's JH who seems to have forgotten. Even his own boundaries.

Reminder: Chapter 70 in English will be out tonight. Thank you, uploader.
Gosh! I love how you write the narration! Such a good writer! Thank you for this
Thank you for the spoilers each week! Love this manhwa, the characters behave more realistically than other manhwas even though there are tropes like chaebol ML, poor MC and loansharks. Everything that Yeon Oh's abusers have done to him including Jaehyuk have changed him forever. To Yeon Oh, Jaehyuk is one of many men who used him for sex, money or to get the USB.
Jaehyuk has never had to struggle like Yeon Oh, he has been able to get his way with influence and money but he can't fix what he has done to Yeon Oh with money. Jaehyuk is too focused on getting revenge on his grandfather for his mom's death, too prideful and arrogant to be a good partner for Yeon Oh even though we know they'll end up together.
wow thanks op!
excited to what happened next!
Jaehyuk accepted Yeonoh's offer. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Where can i read the raws? ┗( T﹏T )┛

I'm so disappointed in him. Surprised? No. Disappointed? Extremely
I can't help but think of when JH gets ahold of loanshark's phone and sees the video. Hopefully he'll recognize the YO there and connect the dots. The horror when he realizes he did more damage that night than those men who attempted to assault YO. This is all I can say to JH: https://imgur.com/a/gDEzC2t
I was hoping the gangster would let slip that he raped MC that one time and so that ML would feel all the guilt in the world about how he treated MC when he thought he just slept around. This jerk needs to realize more how his actions hurt MC.
same
JH asks YO why he wants to pay him back. It's not like YO asked him to bring the money, so he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
YO, upset, says he doesn't want to feel indebted. He then tries to remove the IV on his hand. JH stops him. YO insists he wants to go home and asks JH to let go. JH doesn't remove his hand on YO's arm so YO yanks his arm from his hold, much to JH's surprise.
Unshed tears are on YO's eyes as questions himself while he walks home. Back at the hospital, JH is on the phone inquiring about the loanshark. I think he got away but unwittingly left his phone behind. The man says they'll check its contents then send JH the phone after. Ooh, oh. Here comes the video.
Then some panels of YO filming for a period film. He looks handsome in his costume. <3 Nothing important here, but atleast it shows he's not having a hard time with coworkers or film crews.
Probably some time after work, YO finds out that JH deposited 15 million won on YO's account. It seems like money YO has paid and JH returned. This guy can't let go. Hahaha. Of course that sends YO to JH's office. It seems past office hours cause the room is dark. JH has his ass parked in front of his desk, his arms crossed.
YO is once again upset. He asks what JH is doing. JH throws the question back at YO. Shouldn't he be taking it easy? And why is YO so stubborn and thinks he'll be able to pay back that kind of amount? It would be less absurd if he asks JH for 1 billion instead. YO's face hardens.
YO repeats that he just doesn't want to have connections with JH anymore and that JH doesn't have the right to dictate him what to do. JH scowls, and says, "Fine. Let's say you'll pay it back. When? Are you just going to collapse and end up at the hospital again?" What will YO even do to give him back that kind of money? He tells YO to stop being childish. YO crimsons as he feels chastened.
YO says JH doesn't have to worry about that. Hasn't JH heard? YO is good at sucking dick, all thanks to someone. Oh, but JH knows that already, he adds. YO says each time he makes JH cum is a fraction of his debt paid. JH doesn't look pleased. YO says he's confident he can perform better now. Wonder how much that will cost? YO then reminds JH of his "Think you could find someone who rewards you as much as I do?" remark. JH is aghast. YO tells him he can pay that much then. Either way, it's a win-win situation. YO then proceeds to unzip JH's pants while he moves his lips close to JH's.
The end.
Another spoonful of forgiveness to JH if he rejects YO's offer. Man, he'll be just another Sangho. Or whatever that loanshark's name is. I will find it extremely disgusting if he accepts, especially now that he's aware what that loanshark subjected Yeonoh to. For so many years. Don't let me down, Kwon. Prove you're better than all the men that has abused this boy.
when i was reading the raws i got the feel that it was gonna turn into a transactional relationship which is THE LAST thing they need. (or that i want because its always so cliche and annoying, it fucks their whole dynamic up.) I also hope his reaction isnt positive and instead tells him he doesnt have to do that or maybe just act like his boyfriend again, not that thats any better but its something, the whole idea of the loanshark having that transactional relationship with YO disgusts me and im hoping that Kwon will be different because i really like him.
Lets hope for the best
True. JH was clearly not amused by the idea, but I fear he's going to give in out of irritation because YO's adamant about paying back. I just hope JH doesn't forget what he learned about YO from the loanshark. YO doesn't need anymore cocksucking just because he has to pay for something.
YO most likely chose to go this route knowing JH will just return any money he surrenders. Why can't JH just pretend to accept then surreptitiously return it another time. Jeez.
I wish JH just force YO to accept the modeling/endorsement contract. Please, Kwon. I beg you.
Thank you for the spoiler (▰˘◡˘▰)
Sorry for you guys but unfortunately he accepts the offer and JH fucks YO and my mood...
yea i read it yesterday and i just… ugh
The author has a talent for not delivering proper love story. Shitty outcome.
When I also read it my head hurts. FFS YO is so damn stupid.
Things I want to see in S03:
• Retribution: loanshark, that blond actor [COMING SOON]
• Kwon not seeing Yeonho for long periods of time = having Yeonho living rent-free in his head) [KIND OF HAPPENING]
• Kwon putting on the watch he was gifted because he misses Yeonho [KWON SAID HE WAS FOND OF YO'S WATCH, BUT HE, LIKE, ONLY PUT IT ON ONCE?? I UNDERSTAND IF THE BLACK-STRAP ONE HE CONSTANTLY WEARS WAS A PRESENT FROM HIS MOM]
• Yeonho terminating Kwon's sponsorship [✓]
• Kwon being honest about his feelings; that saying him liking Yeonho would not have been a lie or pretend [COMING SOON?]
• Kwon admitting his faults in more than one sentence [COMING SOON?]
• Yeonho consistently resisting Kwon because this seme needs to realize that something he took for granted turned out to be important, but is now slipping through his fingers [✓]
• Yeonho having to remind Kwon that their "relationship" is over [✓]
• I hope they'll get back together after some years of being apart [TBD]
• For Mr. Cho to stop being an ass [HAHA. IS THIS GUY EVEN GOING TO RETURN?]
Also, I wonder if one of them takes out that photo strip (this was from their last date, I think?) from time to time and just longingly gaze at it....
Why are you putting everything on Kwon though I don’t understand that especially at this point when he has been clear and not drawling the line like in the earlier chapters.
JH and YO, they're going to end up together. They're endgame. How do they get to that? By making YO a simp and giving JH a pass? Like, YO had to endure so many shit from so many people, including Kwon, but it's still YO who has to do all the heavy lifting? It's you, guys, I don't understand. I don't know why you want things to be easy for Kwon. I really don't. It's not like these objective readers are asking him to take the Ring to Mordor.
That isn’t answering my question at this point they both aren’t meeting each other halfway. They both are in a messed up state of mind so again why is that kwon have to wade through hellish waters just because a lot of things happened to him that was caused by his father if you ask me. Had it not been for the father he wouldn’t have been subjected to SA and physical assault while his father just kept on doing what he was doing. So kwon has to pay for all of that baggage I don’t think so. And did JH not agree to kwon’s contract he could have said no but money is a powerful drug. And he went along with JH wanted ended up softening up on JH. I feel like Kwon shows he cares in the best why he can and knows how. Idk I feel like with this story I don’t think he should grovel or get a taste of his own medicine. Idk I’m just not seeing what everyone else is but everyone always needs someone to hate when it comes to BL stories and it’s almost always the ones they shouldn’t actually hate.
You don't even know the characters' names while telling someone they are wrong. Kwon is JH, it's his last name, the MC is Yeon Oh. Jesus Christ, the people here are so dumb and toxic sometimes, it's concerning. I really hope you're 14 if you're an adult and you don't see why JH should feel terrible about how he treated Yeon Oh, there's very little hope for you. JH came into YO's life for the USB which could have gotten YO killed, JH's grandfather kills people including YO's dad. JH put YO's life in danger for his revenge. He took advantage of someone who he knew as kid who's been abused, beaten and raped by men, used him to get the USB and for sex. JH raped YO after he was drugged, sexually assaulted and filmed by men at the club, treated him like a whore and told he meant nothing to him. As in the sex, the time spent together and everything JH had done for him was just for the USB. YO wants to be done with JH but JH keeps coming back, acting like his savior and like nothing of that happened. YO was ready to accept his fate with that loan shark if JH had not come. YO offers to have sex with JH to show him that he sees JH like all the other men who used him and probably he wanted to prove to himself he doesn't feel anything for JH anymore, that he can have sex with him without feeling anything. The YO's flashback at the end of the next chapter shows that YO is deeply traumatized by what JH has done. Condoning JH's behavior means that you would accept this kind of treatment and abuse from a person because he gives you money and that is concerning.
Don’t forget he never even apologized for what he put YO through! Why does he have to be the bigger man? Our poor boy has matured but was put through hell for no reason to get there! JH hasn’t even reflected on his actions or tried to be a better person. Idk why ppl want JH to get off easy w/o any character growth. It’s like kiss me, liar all over again
TRUTH. And you know what they're hating YO for? Cause he developed feelings for JH. Apparently, that's a crime now.
I like this list a lot!!! You did a really good job and I also like the "YO living rent free in JH's mind" SO TRUE!!! And the "JH admitting his fault" uuwaaahH I CANNOT WAIT for that! I want a whole has chapter just JH talking to YO! JH also said he is in no right to ask for forgiveness so I bet JH would say something like "I know I don't deserve to be forgiven and I know you have every right to accept my feelings or deny them. I was too stubborn to realize the feelings I have for you and kept denying them. I just want you to know how I feel...[love confession]" SCREAMING IKIKIK IT SOUNDS CRINGE WHEN I WRITE THIS BUT I WANT SMTH LIKE THAT. A heartbroken defeated JH on the ground begging!! And the cherry on top would be YO not accepting and them being apart for a while... and how bittersweet would it be when they meet up next to the beach again-
CRYING SOBBING THROWING UP
the comments go crazy doe, some really don't know how humans work and have 0 life experience when it comes to the bad and the ugly ... Damn...
Lmao kiss my whole entire ass child I would have read what you wrote but you come out the woodworks like this story is your personal life bitch please do go touch some grass and have glass a wine . Because shit has NEVER been this serious.
Touch grass? You're pathetic, you can't win an debate so you resort to insults and belittling other people. You make comments about conversing respectfully, yet none of your comments show any respect to anyone including the author. A glass of wine? Because that's what people should be doing with their time, consuming alcohol, who are you to tell people what they should do with their free time. Pathetic and arrogant. You're a waste of oxygen.
