I’m not sure how to feel about the side story. I really like the best friend. I love how genuine his love and care is for his friends and how protective he is of his younger coworkers. Since it was mentioned earlier in the story that he also treated his partners a little rough I thought maybe he would have a sadistic side to him, hence him being the love interest of the red haired dude, to like, teach him a lesson but even if that was the point (which I don’t think it is) idk how I feel about to since the red haired dude is so unlikable. I just feel like he deserves better.
I only believe a character is redeemable if they have changed actions/realize what they did was wrong, and so far red haired dude isn’t like that. I don’t like that the author is using him getting r*ped as the way from him to realize his actions up to this point were wrong. I mean it is kind of realistic because I feel like people often can’t sympathize unless it’s happened to them, it just kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Cause now he’s hurting and has ptsd and that’s causing him to be an even bigger asshole because trauma hits us all in different ways and I don’t see him redeeming himself tbh.

dh’s grandma tells him that he should work abroad, so dh visits sw one last time in the hospital before he goes overseas. he tells sw how he truly feels and apologizes, i think? sw responds and tells him that if he wants anyone, even if it isn’t him, then he needs to change his attitude/personality. dh says that he’ll do anything to prove that he can change his behavior. obviously, this does not justify any of his past behavior but i’m impressed because he didn’t let his pride control him.

If you really think about it, I feel like Dan doesn’t know what healthy looks like, aside from his grandma. With having to deal with the loan sharks and that shitty experience with that doctor that made him get shunned from the PT world, like he has a lot of trauma. I don’t think he’s ever dated either so he doesn’t know any better in my opinion. So it’s not very surprising he’s falling first I guess. A little disappointing, yes.
JK is toxic, 1000% but I also don’t think he just straight up doesn’t care for Dan, it’s been shown a couple of times that he does. But hes VERY possessive and clearly has anger issues and doesn’t know how to regulate his emotions. Like someone said already he doesn’t like Dan talking or getting attention from anyone else. He always throw a fit afterwards. I don’t think he’ll realize he’s in love tho until Dan straight up cuts him off after a final straw or something just like BJ Alex.

I wonder if Theo eventually is going to be an Omega or if him being the Symia (I forgot whay it’s actually called lmao) is going to be a thing he reverts back to when he and the white haired dude have sex. Cause I feel like something triggered that state for Theo this time around. Maybe white hair dudes pheromones?
I really like how the author draws Pil-gyuns eyes
