I thought this was a yuri from the cover (yes i don't bother reading tags), so I was shocked to see sunwoo's thang in the first chapter
I'm not one to enjoy straight stories since more often than not, i find the fl unlikeable and weak, BUT THIS STORY??? 10/10
The depth it had despite being a short story is commendable. The title being brought up at the end was probably my most fav part.
The suicide desire being expressed throughout the story but then both of them choosing to run away, not picking either of the ends, that is, turning over a new leaf, or ending it all, ugh so good. If the author had chosen the bad ending, the title's meaning just wouldn't have hit hard the way it did in this ending.
ALSO the body proportions were so normal for a straight smut, so love that for the artist <33
would totally recommend reading this!!

If you click on it and check out the pinned post, its a pic of text, which when translated, says that the author apologizes for the hiatus, but it was due to their health issues, and they'll work on the 'Speak of the devil' again once they're all good.
The post was posted in 2024, and it was the artists' last post. Its safe to say that the artist hasn't dropped the series but it's just on an indefinite hiatus and will hopefully be back soon.
If you want to find out what happens next in the story, it also has a novel. Its in the list below, feel free to check it out.

“It's Been a While Since I Greeted You All
Hello, this is Tteokbap, the person in charge of the illustrations for *Speak of the Devil*.
Nearly a year has passed since the hiatus notice for *Speak of the Devil* was posted, and only now am I finally sharing an update on my personal author account. Before I talk about my current situation, I first want to sincerely thank the readers who have been waiting for *Speak of the Devil* and apologize for the long delay.
A year ago, due to my health issues, the hiatus notice was posted. After that, I spent six months receiving hospital treatment and recovering. Even after that, health problems and the challenges of balancing my studies caused further disruptions, delaying my return to the series. I deeply apologize for not being able to neatly wrap up the serialization at the time.
Currently, I am doing my best to bring *Speak of the Devil* to a proper conclusion. I will return with a better work, one that comes from a healthy body and mind.
Wishing you all many blessings in the new year. Thank you.“
for anyone who needed that translated lol, i hope the author gets well soon, i miss this so much and i JUST finished season 1
