They were never going to work. It was really up to Haesoo to be willing to move on from this. If Joowon loves him like he thinks, he'll understand where he's coming from an respect his decision. Hopefully that's the case cause I'm so rooting for their parents.
It's interesting that in his internal monologues when he's trying to reject Joowon, he never mentions Taku. Taku isn't influencing this. It's always been Haesoo's decision.
That's a really good point. Haesoo's issues with Joowon were always there, Taekyung just happened to give him the little push he needed to escape a cycle he was already feeling burdened by.
They keep bringing that up and it took me out.
And I can't not see the brush as anything but a toilet bowl cleaner. This is a nej for me.
Phew... How many racist things can you fit into one chapter?
Anyways, don't translate the rest of this. Don't give this author more attention.
This should be his realization. He needs to grow up and grow out of his previous "relationship" with Joowon.
Taku is so in love and is willing to go through this drama to prove to Haesoo he's strong enough to wade through it all with him.
Haesoo's mom...I feel for her. In her situation, I'd be shocked, angry, embarrassed, and sad. She married the love of her life and their sons start a sexual relationship. What kind of family dynamic is that? (And don't say she's homophobic, she accepts him but can't tolerate this borderline incestuous relationship).
On top of that, she protects them by hiding it from Joowon's dad. This poor woman. Years later, they obviously still have feelings for each other too.
Joowon really shouldn't have anyone until he works on himself. Stringing someone along while you sort out your feelings isn't fair to the other party. Now that they're moving on, you're getting territorial? Grow up.
Agreed!!
Facts! So true. Very well said.
And say they feel bad for the psycho because he can't express his love properly. The fuck?
It wasn’t me but I kind of feel bad for him for that. However I obviously feel worse for the poor painter guy who didn’t ask for all this shit.
Taku is terrified of rejection and sees that Haesoo is conflicted. That's why he always tries to give him an out so he doesn't overwhelm him with his feelings.
Meanwhile Joowon is forceful about his feelings. A lot of times, I wonder if he ever considers what Haesoo may want.
For once, the side couple's inclusion makes sense. It feels like things will happen with their story. Main story is still really cute and the art is still gorgeous but it's dragging its feet.
I don't know about that chief...
yeah. great storyline. i would've never imagined the alpha to be the one caged
Yeah no, the alpha was obsessed and manipulative. I'm not going to feel bad about him because he's "caged in his feelings" or whatever. He's not the one with restrictions on how to live his life.
This was a nah from me.
idk what you have been reading but you've completely missed the whole context of the story. omegaverse storylines tend to glorify the theme of omegas being controlled by the alphas, whether it's bc of them being a fated pair or simply bc of pheromones but this story went beyond that. the irony in the title implies that the alpha was in fact being caged & not the omega. the alpha's life revolves around the omega. he gave up everything only to be with the one he loved. in fact, the alpha was so deeply enthralled by the omega, he even stated that he was born to be paired with him. "i'm not going to feel bad about him"? that's not necessary. he never once said that he was pitiful. they only need each other and none of that rotten family dynamics.
Yeah I got what the author was trying to do. I'm saying it was done poorly. You don't have to explain it to me, that part was pretty obvious but it felt like an add on so they could play the "see, they're both caged" defense.
