I thought this was shounen ai because of the pacing so I was blushing like a maiden whenever their kisses became more spicy. And then their first sex in chapter 30 happens and I was like, "rimming?!? light sabers??!!???" clutching my pearls like I was Won's mother or something
Their first kiss in chapter 15 happened so naturally too aaahhhh so so so so cute!!! There's tragedy ahead though before they reunite 8 years later

No matter how bad the story looks like rn, DON'T ever drop this. You'll be missing out on so much fluff and hot smut. Jaekyung is one of the most obsessive green flag MLs ever and his love and obsession with the MC is the cutest. It's just gonna be a while before we get to that point because there's a few more misunderstandings ahead, but it'll be worth it.

It's only in chapter 22 when I actually decided to read their sex scenes instead of scrolling past and ignoring them. Their previous ones were so hard to stomach because there was just so much...hatred and hostility in the seme's case. All I felt was second-hand embarrassment for the uke and disgust towards the seme.

Do y'all notice that a lot of Japanese bl manga seem to be written with the same pattern?
- Innocent uke falls in love with experienced seme
- Experienced seme has personal issues
- Those personal issues cause problems in their relationship, so seme pushes uke away/breaks up with him
- It's the uke that chases seme and they end up together again
Please tell me some of you notice it too because I've been reading Japanese bl mangas for years and more so recently and have been noticing this pattern so much from different bl manga authors that I thought I was reading from the same author.

I've said this before on this site but I really think Japan as a society tend to romanticize selfishness and self-destruction. Whoever has these personal issues in a story always get to act however they want, hurt the one they love in the process, and get no flack for it. Is it like an internalized longing to be as they are and to be understood for it and suffer no consequences? I think so. Idk maybe it's just meee

yea i actually noticed mangas with same old flow of them story
for me its more like, manipulating another persons emotion is a thing in order for your relationship to work, or something with pushing and pulling your partner like the problem cant be solved with communication or something like that, kinda generic in some sense
its like painting the same thing but using other colors~ idk it maybe indeed innate to them and in their culture
What exactly was the purpose of this sequel? To show us that the seme isn't really that in love with the uke and would go for the other guy if he was single? Japanese mangakas and their obsession with emotional cheating, I swear. And people on here commenting "aww, they are both so mature about their relationship" no bitch the seme is an insensitive emotional slut who can't keep his affection on his bf only and the uke is a doormat.
