I did like this a lot more than I was expecting. I actually felt very sad when JJ kept rejecting and acting cold towards Leo but if Leo stopped for a moment to think about the whole relationship sooner, he could have saved a lot of grievances but glad everything worked up.
And they actually went to therapy! They needed too because that forceful sex scene was very uncomfortable and disgusting to read. Even if he was that angry, you shouldn't treat the person you love like that. Glad he apologized and made it up to Leo by working on his communication skills.
So Glasses Mugo noticed something else apart in the sweet smell so that's why he flinched? Or it was him noticing his sexual urges towards Jaheon? I really hope it's not the pregnancy thing. Jaheon is not mentally or physically stable right now. I do want a baby but when all of them are on the same page and Jaheon and baby's life wouldn't be at risk because of that family.
The God's well comment about when Glasses Mugo takes over he believes he is a complete God, confuse me. It's because he was the family's creation so it's considered an incomplete one? Maybe they used evil spirits to be his core? The 4th Mugo looks more dangerous, his eyes looked bloody and crazy in this chapter, so he must be the original one or the essence of that spririt maybe and there are things that some Mugos don't remember... Monster Mugo is aware that there's another entity or something else with them. He looked happy when the door opened and he recognized who or what was opening it. But Jerk Mugo only had flashbacks till now.
Also, why would take Jaheon outside if he is in his heat? I don't think Glasses's trying to put him in danger or harm him with the tonic. The other Mugos wouldn't let him because it seems like they have some awareness of each other's actions now. Glasses helped Jaheon and he was even caring towards him, he moved him to another room (Jaheon's?), cleaned and dressed him. Jaheon even blushed at his touch too, and Glasses seemed really interest in Jaheon's health. But, Glasses knows that he has some influence on Jaheon so maybe he wants be alone with him to convince him to do something? I do believe that he wants to talk to Jaheon about what happened when he escaped or be alone with him to teach him how to prepare medicine to help him in his heats, where to buy the herbs or something. They really have not spend much time together on the first season. After all he said he's better at saving things, like some kind of doctor, so I want to believe he just wants to be helpful in his no feelings attached way.
Or to bang him because this is a smut story. I really want to see him with his hair loose and be more honest to himself.
I'm kinda glad the plot is moving foward!
Aww it was short and cute. But grandpa has a peculiar sense of humour...
Like, I know the end scene was meant to be a funny one, him escaping like that could be compared to a person finding out their partner is cheating, but for me it was also a trauma response. He's truly scared of Enzo. His body moved fast enough to know he must run for his life. That the man is not bluffing and his life could be in danger.
It's not Uno's fault if he use that kind of method to do his job, honey trapping is classic in spy stories, so why would he follow Enzo's, dangerous mob boss and rapist, baseless rules now just because he said so. He's his employee but it doesn't affect Enzo if Uno has an affair with the target unless he sucks at that, which Enzo knows Uno can deliver results. So it was just pure control and a test, and Enzo is actually happy about Uno's constant defiance and, from time to time, unpredictable actions.
Honestly, it's so funny, but so much more interesting that it's not just funny and has much more depth to it.
Considering what he's thinking while kissing her at the opening of the chapter, Uno hasn't slept with anyone else since Enzo, and his experience with Enzo was: not easy, not simple, and didn't feel good :(
While I'm sure Enzo kept his promise to make him ejaculate at some point (or more) between chapter 21 and 22, I can't imagine it being anything other than painful and hamulating for Uno.
That's kind of why I put up that vote to see what everyone thinks about their next time together, since without a doubt Enzo would want him sober this time. It would be a big step in their relationship, so the question is: How Enzo intends to align their different tastes? Giving Uno the pleasure he deserves, or gaslighting him into becoming a masochist?
But I disagree with this part: "He's his employee but it doesn't affect Enzo if Uno has an affair with the target."
It does affect him. Enzo is possessive as hell! Like let's forget about the "owning him" part for now, since day one he's been annoyed by Uno's easy attitude, even if he enjoys the boy's free spirit too much. For example:
Uno trying to seduce him right off the bat: annoyed
Uno whistling for Turo's party-time look: annoyed
Uno fucking another guy right in front of him: super annoyed
Uno getting himself drugged: annoyed
Uno throwing himself at him while drugged (and assumingly confused): annoyed
Uno not being aware of the bitemark: annoyed
Uno disregarding any possible commitment on his target's part (or his own): actually super annoyed!
While he's playing the shit out of Uno, Enzo is very self-aware, and his possessiveness might be out of obsession right now, but once he falls for him, it's gonna be even on another level. That's why I can't wait for him to become aware of Uno's lingering feelings for Candy.
Really true for the obsession self-awareness
Enzo did say he has to be careful not to kill uno and treat him carefully when uno's in his grasp. Well as carefully according to him...
Rian really is too reckless
Being an ss rank did have its own pride i guess
He is definitely one of the most interesting self-aware psycho characters~
But yeah, I wonder how far he can control his instincts and maybe eventually see Rian as a person, not a toy, or gem, or whatever animal he's chasing! But I guess not for some time, since Uno's line during chapter 11 was pretty much foreshadowing:
"... A word of advice, before you tell someone to get over it, you really ought to reflect on the error of your ways first. In the future, do try treating people with a little more respect... even if you'd rather dunk them in the fountain. That way, you won't be left with your dick in your hand."
LoL, the line was longer than I remembered~
Well, that feels like something that has to happen for Enzo to finally get it, like catch real human emotions! Anyhow, it's too soon for Pinocchio to understand these things~
Welp... Let's hope rian's ss rank skills will help him stay alive until then.
Pinocchio, pinocchio, hurry up and become human!
Before we lost uno's bright wings
Well, our Italian boy was raised by a psycho Geppetto~ Other than skills, Uno needs all the help he can get, while he has none... good luck, man, good luck (￣∇￣")
"good luck, man, good luck"
PFFFFTTTT-
Honestly, from Red Candy to this, i cant help but find him quite pitiful.
Adrian, aren't you quite unlucky in love (´⊙ω⊙`)
Even so, indeed, good luck man. Ganbatte~
(っ´▽`)っ
"I THIRST AFTER HIM."
This is it. That's the whole story.
It's an amazing read. Need more.
Well... That wasn't the cliffhanger I wanted but it did the work. It was shocking, horrible, unsettleling and criminal.
What the fuck is wrong with the model... His whole being is wrong. He SA the top, then the bottom and they knew each other before and model did things to him in his sleep?? And it wasn't the first time?? Ugh
Disgusting really.
Those two last chapters from season 1 were chaotic af but it was the main couple being themselves and with an almost confession. Pseudo confession because top really doesn't trust bottom and well bottom is never honest. But that was season 2 is for. And we got Chani jealous because of the hickeys that model gave to the top.
Probably they'll treat the SA as something light... but I know top will be pretty upset if he finds out that Chani was molested.
What the hell? They both got molested by the model?
Top was SA by the model when Top was in a car with him. Model tried to use force to sleep with Top, kissed his neck and was on top of him but Top fought back and escaped. He was clearly traumatized by the whole experience.
I love this trope of elders being tiny beans.
And grandpa wanted grandchildren lol
Second couple doesn't work for me at all. Blondie seems like an ass and controlling type. Platinum looks like a masochist and a pushover but decent enough. In another context they could be 'nice' as the classic toxic couple but the main couple is by far more interesting and fresh.
The main coulple, even tho they follow the 'falling for the straight guy' trope which is nothing new, the execution is. Top has an active sex life even if he has a crush but started changing his way when he realized that his feelings were more serious. He doesn't push his feelings or takes advantage of his friendship with the charming guy. Bottom is just a regular guy, a nice guy but strong and bold enough to come out and make such offer. I do like those flashbacks and time skips but I'm confused if he rejected the offer to help him or those were his thoughts and it didn't happened. But at the same time, this story has a very heavy and gloomy side so I wouldn't be surprised if someone betrays another or it ends up that that nice guy wasn't as nice and naive as he looked like.
The second couple is so toxic cliché where one can't leave the relationship because of whatever reason ('love'?) and the other is abusive and finds entertaining the other person reactions.
It's amazing that this is the same person who pushed another human being from a flying helicopter, bite another one's tongue off and had so many problematic tendencies and erratic behavior.
Drugs and lack of love and care really did him dirty.
Now, he's experimenting his first love and asking those not so silly questions because he lacked social and romantic experience. But it's so funny because Josh and his sister are so alike but I know couple's like that in real life so I get it.
In terms of plot, this is nothing knew. But, the characters are so extremely well written that that's the real deal of the story. You don know what to really expect from them even with all the information that it's already there.
The artistic style is also not so impressive BUT the use of angles in the composition, backgrounds and colouring helps as another narrator. It's like watching a movie sometimes.
I do agree coz this manhwa is cinematic <3
