I’ve been letting this marinate for the entire year and you’re telling me it was on hiatus the entire time??? No wonder I thought the updated chapters were so few

Well, I caved in and found the novel (google it, there are links on novel updates) ch73 is about ch20 in the novel, yes I was shocked too. There are 33 chapters total. I don’t often see such short k-yaoi novels and I don’t know how the Manhwa turned 20 chapters into 73, but it’s so good the Manhwa is tagged shounen ai, but the novel has multiple explicit scenes.
This part below might bother some readers:
The ML is a bit… intense. He manipulates the surroundings to make the MC stay with him, but it’s not like MC didn’t want to, because of his experience with his dad’s abandonment he was scared to go all in in a relationship so it doesn’t bother me that much. ML being a bit stalkerish did tho ( ̄∇ ̄") its not like he even hides his personality that much, several times MC feels like something is wrong, but is a bit of an idiot so he doesn’t really get it and drops his suspicions quickly.
But besides the ML’s creepy side, which I honestly didn’t expect, I do love the novel.

Well, I found the novel on scribd (just google search the title) and rather than the end of the story, ch58 is like the end of season one, though I don’t know if the Manhwa will ever continue. It’s around ch23 of the novel so if you want to continue from the end of the Manhwa, start from ch24. I don’t know if there are separate side stories, but I read up to 40 chapters, and tbh the ending of the novel is just as frustrating as the current end of the Manhwa (the last line is the MC asking ML to mark him while ML is driving them home after they visited his mom's grave.)

Also, I feel like I left this comment under the Regas Manhwa (I read the novel) that I couldn’t believe how the author for that story also wrote this, but after reading the novel it makes so much sense. Kim Shin is even more mental than we’ve seen so far in the Manhwa, but he does keep some level of reason. Let’s just say, if the ML snapped, the story wouldn’t be so pretty anymore.
I’ve seen the plot idea in a kdrama (the heart transplant giving memories) everything besides that is different though.
Do you happen to rmbr the name of the kdrama?
It’s falling for innocence
Thank youu (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
there’s a webtoon called a heartfelt andante that’s very similar too! it’s a beautiful read, highly recommend it!
