i’m worried about them honestly :( like that new pc job seems exploitive of their workers. seunghyeon is gna get overworked a looooottttt alongside his group project bro we’re so cooked… chaejun is gna be even more sleep deprived since seunghyeon will be gone most of the day… it’ll get him more frustrated in more ways than one T_T
i feel like they both represent the complexities of being human. luke takes a more emotional approach meanwhile andrew takes a logical one — they’re neither right or wrong… so perhaps there isn’t One “correct” answer. it all depends on how you want to navigate ur life and what feels right for u. at the end of the day, no one has to understand ur reason(s) for making a certain decision and that’s okay
idt the author is saying that eunsan is /just/ straight, esp bc now he’s starting to catch feelings for ian i think they’re trying to convey that prior to eunsan meaning ian, he never thought ab nor considered dating a guy seriously outside of receiving sexual pleasure… i think it’s hard to define someone’s sexuality in general because for some people it can be really fluid… perhaps that’s what eunsan is experiencing with ian right now
i love the execution for the last ch. of s1 sooooooo so much. since the beginning, i’ve been looking forward to the tattoo reveal once we saw a peek in the earlier chapters. i knew it’d be revealed during sex but this was beyond my expectations and it was SO satisfying to read… the reveal of years of yearning, the uncertainty after the weight of the love that was once hidden has now been shared can be so scary. yet at the same time, there is safeness and relief in the realization that eunsan was cared for despite all the years that has passed T_T cannot even explain or articulate how special this manhwa is to me and how wonderfully written it is in every aspect… ian is somehow so relatable — his clumsiness, awkwardness and intensity can be seen as overbearing, but he is actually so so gentle and considerate. even how eunsan is in a uncertain, lonely place in his life and can’t help falling for ian is so real… agh i think this is just sooooooo perfect. i can’t wait for s2 already T_T
tbh i was a little iffy about the pacing of s3 for a bit because of how traumatized woowon is and how much he was projecting that trauma onto seoan, but seeing how it’s been progressing in the raws, i think it all makes sense and is entirely realistic.. woowon and seoan never had the space to unpack their trauma until they met each other so of course there are so many ups and downs… ik it seems overbearing to read but i honestly find a lot of comfort in watching them be human and navigating their relationship despite their trauma.. T_T i really hope it gets better soon though
chaejun is so softhearted for seunghyeon he’s gonna feel so guilty in the next chapter(s) :(
realistic depiction of virgin ryu ian having sex i’m literally eating it up so bad
idk bruh i wish there was more yearning cus one moment chase was annoyed asf by josh and now josh gives in and they fucking
the way theyre both so masculine in the sense they just think with their dicks sometimes is so fucking funny but at the same time they’re both so gentle in their own way T_T
i love it so much i’m gonna die ugdhdbjekekekekrnnre
they really match each other so well T_T but i have a feeling their class differences will affect them in the future chapters :( plus we still need to uncover their past and the reason why seunghyeon’s brother is psychotic… am anxious asf
rly rly love how this story is More than yaoi T_T it navigates such a complex story about yoohan’s relationship with himself as well as the complicated, non-linear process of overcoming anger and trauma…
official eng translations for s2, ch. 35 and 36 are out >_< i can’t waittttt
i loooooveeee the way ian is written so so much T_T pibi accurately depicts what it is like to truly love someone and yearn for them despite it all. even if ian was mad, his heart still loved eunsan and he clung onto the hope he’d see him again, which eventually led him back to korea. ian’s motivation for his career is eunsan, so he got a tattoo that represents him. plus it’s so cute that ian clearly saved all his firsts for him, which explains why he’s clumsy yet filled with longing… #yearnism is soooooo good
still no tattoo reveal… pibi-nim is edging us so bad
certain subplots of this story are lowk dumb as hell, esp the way the 3 love interests are written, but the overarching msg is honestly written rly well a traumatic experience in your adolescence can quite literally damage and shape your perception of something… jiheon felt unlovable and unwanted bc of the betrayal he experienced with his first love. it later resulted in him avoiding any type of emotional intimacy with another person. he primarily seeks value thru “meaningless” sex bc he’s scared of getting hurt again. and so the people who end up loving him actively deals with the consequences of his trauma… but thru heeseop, he feels like he can be loved unconditionally, yet there is still an underlying fear that lives within him self sabotage can ruin ur life
does anyone know if this is worth finishing i’m on ch. 10 and i alr wanna drop
tattoo reveal is gonna be so good FAKKKKK i wonder if ian will reveal it during sex or smth
i wish this manhwa was more popular its seriously one of the best i’ve ever read… lowk gonna read it again
