about to read this so lemme get one thing straight? the problem is that he's too hot???
can't relate but k. got it. lezzgo.
Let's discuss possible endings for this manhwa, because every possible outcome will hurt in my opinion:
OPTION 1: THEY END UP TOGETHER.
- doesn't make sense
- stockholm syndrome-esque vibes
- very very unhealthy and toxic
OPTION 2: THEY DON'T END UP TOGETHER.
- NK can live happily and free (yay)
- However, Seungho is left alone, just like he's always been. Sexcapades are reduced because of the rumors that he slept with a peasant.
- Seungho will always secretly long for NK because it's obvi he caught some feelings mate
- unrequited love
OPTION 3: SEUNGHO DIES
- dude may be an asshole but he's an asshole i love m8
- imagine seungho dying and just clutching nakyum so close because he's the only one he ever actually came close to loving hory sheet
- but in the end, NK will never really love him, even during his final moments (oh god)
OPTION 4: NAKYUM DIES
- dude
- dUDE
- this'll probably drive seungho even more into his insanity and live even more emptily
- saddest ending
OPTION 5: INHUN DIES
- well.... fuckin finally
EITHER WAY, I really dont see this manhwa ending well.... Be prepared my kokoro, it's gun be a wild ride.
1 thing is for sure, people will definitely be killed lol. This is not a love story. " Romance " is not in the Genre(s)
Cause romance doesn’t showed it yet. Describing genre is early.
What do you thinks gonna happen? Lol Seungho is magically going to become a saint and him and Na-kyum are going to ride off into the sunset? Thats not how character and plot development work honey. Everything you need to know about the type of story this is has already been revealed. Whats going to happen in the story has already started to be foreshadowed.
I am not telling it thay way. They will not change magically and story will always goes with abuse like killing stalking. But it doesn’t mean they will not feel love. They can be in toxic rel and their romance can be different than sweet romance. Semes are may stay as a selfish bastard. But it doesn’t mean they will not feel something. You should think everything apart. Romance doesn’t need to connect with “rightfulness”, “sweet”. Romance is just feeling. Romance can be selfish. Romance can be illustrated different from “normal sweet romance”. I think you just read too much shoujo.
I'm not saying love isn't involved. We already have one character, Na-kyum, who has admitted to being in love with his former teacher, and its obvious that Seungho is falling in "love" with Na-kyum in his own twisted way. That doesn't make this or it doesn't mean this will be a romantic story. You can have characters who are in love in a story but it doesn't mean that story with be a romance or be romantic.
Choosing 1 :
As more chap updating surely the plot will developing and there should be reasons for ml to change and falls inlove(of course our uke too ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~)
Choosing 5 :
Fish him (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
+1
Bruuuuuuhhhhh if that happens I’m fully behind you (╬￣皿￣)凸 but... I don’t think Seungho would cut his hand off... and In Hun can just die. I shall call him In Ho from now on. (︶︿︶)＝凸
For sure there is gonna be a story about why yoon is the hot godly abs sex addicted asshole he is and try to make readers feel sad that he went through that, but like it doesnt excuse him raping our poor innocent NK. Not at all. Inhun is going to pimp NK out to Lord Yoon cause he doesn't have any remorse for other them himself heck maybe NK kills him before Yoon does if he finds out inhun wants to pimp NK out. I do agree that the story is not a happy ending one. I predict based on Lord Yoon' s sexual activity he is gonna die first if not from a lovers quarrel with the other guy he has been sleeping with NK might kill the guy I mean idk just putting it out there as a possibility out of the trillions. NK is the main character so he will not die. I hope he gradually becomes this awesome badass who owns his sexuality, forgets inhun because he can get any man he wants, and is a highly prestigious painter. Or you know my predictions are wrong and they possibly all die like everyone like a Shakespeare play?
You said romance not romantic
And if semes will fall for Nakyum. They will express their feelings somehow. Probably it can be mixed with too much abuse or jealous and some rare kindness. Even little scene can be described romantic scene. Abuse and hate can’t hide some good scenes. Good, kind, romantic scene always be “good, kind, romantic scene”. Even though other scenes are abusive.
Ugh, i don't think my kokoro will ever be ready for whatever tragedy is yet to come.
Author could also take the Hidoku Shinaide route but it looks like she has a fucked up story plotted out that she will see to the end. She obviously is not the type to sugar coat an unhealthy relationship so this will be a very tough read as we all suspected from the first moment we saw Seungho’s batshit crazy eyes. Na-Kyum is especially innocent, vulnerable and there is such an inherent power imbalance in every aspect of his relationship with Seungho that this is going to be really tough to read. At the same time, I do not want the author to sugarcoat how messed up their relationship is.
me: oh this looks cute!
prologue: "i have accepted that happiness belongs to others i can only admire from afar"
me:
me:
me, single af: y must u hurt me like this
I feel you. Being single Af is hard ╥﹏╥

Damn... the author really did remind us of how much an asshole Seungho really is. I admit, I had my head up in the clouds, somewhat hoping that Seungho would now be gentler towards Nakyum after the drunk scene (yes, stupid I know).
I know it's kinda taboo to compare 2 manhwas together but reading KS, I already knew I hated Sangwoo, right from the very beginning. So when he got what he deserved at the end, it was easier to let go. I loved him like a child of mine but in the end, I knew the ending he got was best for everyone.
But damn... for Seungho? He also needs to pay for his violence and horrible behavior but I don't know how I'll take it. I love the guy :( So when the time comes for him to pay his dues, I just know I'll be sobbing.
NaKyum deserves to be free. I thought maybe, just maybe, Seungho could change his ways and be better even just a little bit (yeah don't yell at me) but... this chapter really reminds me of the cold truth: he's really not the guy for him. Even if it turns out that there was no actual penetration in this chapter (a miracle in itself), Seungho slammed his face to the floor, and previously slapped him, took advantage of him, raped him, and is blackmailing poor Nakyum.
Sighhh.... This manhwas going to break me in the end, isn't it? They're all wicked (except Nakyum and Kim) but I love these characters, dammit. I love Seungho for his intelligence and horrible nature, dude has charisma turned up to a 110 (Not to mention he's a walking sex on a stick). Heck, I even love Jihwa for his queen-esque mannerisms. InHun? uh...... maybe when he smiles but dude's the trashiest of them all. *sighs a second time because a BL webtoon has got me wrapped around its fingers*
Anywayyy, so where do I sign my soul away?
its gonma fucking break me too bro
"Little swan" is such a fitting nickname though. It's adorable (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I have a question for those who read the raws.......
.............
..............
................
.........................
Lol did you also get tricked into thinking that it was Seungho who grabbed NaKyum in the beginning, not InHun? Or was it just me? My mind even went to ""NANIIII??? Outdoor sex-uh???"" for a minute LOL
Nope......I figured it was Inhun and now this mf tryna use Nakyum to get back at Seungho.........real clown nigga shit
Predictions for chap 25 and spoilers for ch 24 obvi...........
...........................
............................
..........................
Here's what I think could happen (in satire):
Seungho: lol aw u drew ussss, babyyy~
Nakyum: wait stop! my learned sir asked me to do it!
S:
S:
S: getting real tired of this roleplay shit bby boi *crazy mode on*
But in all seriousness, I'm super excited for 25! The sex is back on
I think The author broke their hand so might take a minute to update
Small master and Tinkerbell dying without any attention has the same energy tbh
SPOILERS BELOW.................... (also, to people tagging spoilers, please make sure the actual 'spoilers' make it under the (+) 'read more' cut, out of consideration for other readers. Thank you.)

Okay.... ch26 was a wild one. And it also made me real sad for multiple reasons. First, was because I now know that chapter 20-21 was the first and last chapters we'll ever have of this manhwa where there was a, "technically", mutual yearning between these two. Anything beyond this will just be a very violent and forced relationship. So it's kind of bittersweet that 20-21 were the "best" scenes for this pairing, because it was still rape man :( It was fucking rape. But at that time they looked so in love, damn, that it made me hope for something that this manhwa never claimed to be-- a love story.
Second, Nakyum will NEVER love Seungho, I mean never. You can feel his loathing through the screen. He can still be subjected to blackmailing but love is out of the equation, which is again sad because, in another life, where it could've been more peaceful, they would've looked good together.
Third, the aura and tension of this manhwa does remind me of Killing Stalking. Not the story, they're completely different but my reactions were similar. I remember reading KS and just being heartbroken chapter upon chapter and now, I'm having a similar emotion wash over me that I've resorted to writing this lengthy ass comment just to relieve my chest off of some pain.
Fourth, I'm disgusted by how horrible Seungho is. But at the same time, I love his character. The author made me fall in love with him, only for him to do terrible things so now I'm very torn. Like a child who has gone astray and you can only wish for him to get back on track.
Fifth, is the emotional attachment I have for this. Like... it's a manhwa but it's taking over my thoughts again (just like KS did). Again, not meaning to compare but dang.... I have a feeling this could be another masterpiece.
So yeah, let's go down this rabbit hole together because it's amazing how we're all reading raws at the same time, without notification. Like we're all trash for this and I love it. See you at the finish line comrades. （/TДT)/
Excuse me, sir, but why do you write down my thoughts without my permission?
JK, you have all the permission you need!
LOL, each of your paragraphs is what I feel. Literally. So nice to bond with someone over such interesting story!
Though I must admit one more thing, get it off of my chest. Here seems to be a good place for that. I'm also torn between feeling hopeful, emotional, angry, disappointed, excited, impressed, disgusted and turned on. This is messing with my head. Of course I am aware it's a story and fiction, and the art probably makes me so confused. But man, this is far from being an easy read.
HAHAH HAHAHAA OH, THEY WON'T GET TOGETHER YOU SAY?? nO, If the author later wants them to. They will, and this is the kinda story that's gonna end on some note like that i CAN FEEL IT.
I wish, i wish, it could be happy. Yet those chances, they are like the breeze swaying only a single leaf in an old tree, it is not enough to barely be even noticable
I know... Also dude, we're all over the freaking place. I've been commenting on other people's comments here to cope, and I see you've chosen the same coping mechanism as well! LOL... I'm in a slurry of emotions too, though being confusedly turned on is mostly Seungho's fault, that motherfucker. Welp, see you next week?
HAHA that leaf analogy is soo on point!!
yeah, at the end of the day, it will end the way author decides, and everything is possible. Them ending together being a likely option nonetheless. But the way she writes it so far, it really feels like there's a chance for a different story here, no cliche. We'll see.
I personally like to go with the flow :) I'm one of those who enjoyed GOT for what it was, so I will probably enjoy whichever direction she'll take with the story.
ah, crap, so it's time to stop, isn't it. Close the browser, get on with my life... Maybe drop this for a while and get some balance back?
.
.
.
Yeah. Of course I'll be here next week, like I'd be able to drop it and have a healthy break anyway lol
See you! :)
Lol I literally tried to leave this manhwa life but I failed straight away haha see ya!
