WTF WAS THAT. You are going to tell me that his mom leaving him means that every relationship in his life is only FWB- try harder author because that’s not how the mind works. Also ok let’s say he only does FWB because of his mom leaving- WHY DID HE COME BACK FOR THE MC?!?! He stated he preferred the main character who didn’t get too close so why is the ML trying to corner the MC. You also were the person talking a big game of how influential your family is so obviously your mom and her side of the family isn’t as powerful as his fathers side so why is he surprised if she was forced in a situation she had to leave …….. that’s what ended up happening? You basically told the MC that he has to listen to you or else all hell will break lose because of his family….. why wouldn’t that make sense in his mind that if his dad didn’t love his mom anymore he kicked her to the curb…….
In terms of how the mind works and level of attachments if the ML is not the settle down type of guy WHY NOW. The ML was used to sleeping with betas because of pheromone shock which btw the AUTHOR HAS STILL NOT EXPLAINED, the ML does not need the MC he can continue to sleep with countless Betas he has the money to order himself prostitutes galor……… OK so the ML and MC are bonded and things got easier for the ML so why does he need to force the MC to stick with him…. Like the author is over simplifying this which makes it annoying because if the ML is so rich and powerful he has the ability to get a bunch of different people to be dependent on him etc etc why focus on the MC just because of a bond when you were fine for 5 years without him- shit you must have found out about it a lot sooner then you lead on- with all the money and power this guy has he should have found out about the bond and the pregnancy and the location of the MC within less than 6 months of it happening SO AUTHOR EXPLAIN TO THE READERS WTF IS GOING ON WITH YOUR CHARACTERS. The author decided to have a 5-6 year time skip so explain wtf the ML was doing in the mean time was he a play boy did he not have sex for the last 5 years - it’s obvious that the MC was too focused on his child to think about a relationship but WTF about the ML explain. I am so frustrated with the smut and lack of plot. If the author just wants to draw smut that is absolutely fine but don’t tempt readers with an interesting story if you were never going to ever flush it out…….

FTR I work in Healthcare
So the ML is loaded with .$$$$$ why did he send the MC’s parents, to be looked after in a clinic? The translation said he would take them to a hospital but instead he takes them to a clinic? The difference between the two is a hospital would actually provide 24/7 care and the hospital equipment in America vs Korea is NOT that different so the mother approaching death or something wrong with the mother would have been caught sooner. The mother died for nothing and I want to know why exactly she died <- and I am praying there is a story behind this and it wasn’t a plot decide by the author to create that entire drug situation…..
In all Honestly if the ML is as rich as I am suppose to think, he should have sent the parents to a hospital and have an MRI of the entire body done asap (normally hospitals don’t do the entire body unless a physical trauma happened meeting certain requirements and or a different specialist wanted certain body parts examined because they might suspect something is wrong with the patient and want to have a certain area inspected.) All in all if he has that much money he probably has the connections to get a hospital to do a full body MRI and would have caught shit way sooner l. At least if he did this the right way the mother wouldn’t have died like that and she could have lived a lot longer. Also a hospital would have had these patients set up on monitors- this clinic like the place the ML choose is literally only providing them with a bed and IV fluids which is pretty upsetting and pretty much reminds me of nursing homes.
Regardless I want to know how and why the mother died <_< and considering my knowledge of the medical field I think the author just did this for a plot device :’(

Hi hi~ I'm here to answer your questions.. but since English in not my first language maybe I'll find it a little bit difficult to explain things but please bare with me ╥﹏╥
As far as i know the author take inspiration from Kowloon Walled City (maybe you already know it, since it's known as the densest city in the world and already demolished in 1993, please do watch or read some video or articles about this one, cause this will definitely help us to understand more about the condition of the characters, basic on the background of that place)
The first chapter of this manhwa said that "there's no law" in red mansion, same as what Kowloon City known for. Basic of the background itself, Kowloon is a place for criminals, illegal citizens, people smuggling and stuffs even the MC didn't have a legal document like birth certificate (if my memory is correct), so i assume the ML didn't take his parents to a hospital cause they're not really a legal citizens or maybe they are also fugitives or something, I don't really know honestly... because it is said that their business also failed after that they went bankrupt, I assume they also probably have loans out there that's maybe they "escaped" to Red Mansion, and also the ML still have many eyes watching him, like his brothers that probably watching his movements for 24/7, randomly brought someone else's parents (and a Red Mansion's resident on top of that) to a hospital in the city probably just gonna increase their suspicions about him, and he's still in denial about how he act towards the MC, he's probably like "I'm gonna help him but just this much cause he make me remember about my past self" it's understandable giving his circumstances too tbh...
Just as Kowloon City, the sanitary system, intake and exhaust system, and water system are unfortunately questionable, i assume it since the first chapter in the manhwa stated that even sunlight can't go through there (Red Mansion) just like Kowloon City (and my friend who had read the novel said that the novel indeed said that Red Mansion's model take inspiration from Kowloon Wallet City). In the novel it is stated that there is a plague, which is spreading and causing some of the residents to have difficulty breathing, for those who have been affected by the disease (it is not clearly stated what the disease is) they will experience difficulty breathing, it will be difficult to swallow food, like their throat is constricted and it will be difficult to swallowing foods, like if the food goes in, it will be vomited out again, that's why in this last chapter the MC said he has to breathe more loudly, because it seems like he also has difficulty breathing
In the last manhua I read (that was actually set in Kowloon Walled City), one of the characters died from respiratory problems. So, based on real events, many outbreaks occurred in Kowloon and most of the population died from respiratory problems...

Found it~ It's this one (⌒▽⌒)

I totally feel that the omega was working his way into that Alpha’s bed from the start. Even the stupid cookies and the “learning how to prepare fish” we all know he was never going to be the one cooking. Major eye roll in the alpha again for creating this mess - the omega knows about your family’s love for fish BEFORE YOU START DATING. The omega was playing the game- I mean all is fair in love and war - so in the end I blame the alpha for his stupidity and blindness

Rapiel’s family needs an alpha without a title, a second born that inherits nothing, to carry on the legacy of his household. Like Rapiel’s mom ‘Marlena’ the true power behind the Westport household. It’s one of the major reasons why Clough was highly regarded as a candidate, he’s successful and has great reputation. It also helps that Viscount Derbyshire is marketing Clough as one of the best bachelors in the capital. He made himself rich and known within a short period.
I’m writing a fanfic about this, so I learned that women during that time were really required to learn about housework. It was expected of them. Since Clough was still building his assets and working hard to provide a better future for them, Rapiel felt that he should do his part. Martha probably told him about the fish, she learned that dish for Clough.
Rapiel genuinely wants a partner and friend in this relationship and eventual marriage. He thought that Clough could provide this…
Clough is described as handsome, smart, kind, charming and well-mannered. So Rapiel must have felt lucky, because Clough rejected a lot of the other omegas that Viscount Derbyshire tried setting up with him. It’s sad. He’s a really good person… who wants the same partnership as his parents.

But the only reason he went for Rapiel is because he looks like the MC. Also that was a major slap in the face which we don’t find out until story 2 is that during story 1 when Rapiel was found after being attacked and bleeding out the ML called out the MC’s name not Rapier’s OUCH….::.
Maybe it’s different in the novels but we didn’t see enough of the interactions between Rapiel and the ML for me to see it was legitimate feelings which regardless of how Rapiel felt- ^^^ calling out someone else’s name when your pregnant mate is dying is never good

Yeah, which is sad. Because Rapiel could have had a better life, without Clough, he actually had everything he wanted a family and kids.
You mean the dream in s2… it’s the imprint messing his mind. It messes with your memory, dreams, also results in hallucinations. Aeroc and Rapiel died the same way, in both situations Clough was helpless. In the novel the dreams weren’t specified except their was an omega with blue eyes and blond hair. In the manhwa he dreams of visiting the cabin, he calls Aeroc by Rapiel. It’s because in this w2, he was closer to Rapiel, so he thinks the omega in his dreams was Rapiel.
It wasn’t until he recognized his feelings for Aeroc in the novel, that his dreams became clearer and scarier, he saw himself raping Aeroc and cursing him to die the same way as him (Rapiel)
But Clough’s feelings was really more that he was frustrated about his feelings for Aeroc, he wants him so badly, he dated a look alike.

I read some bits of the spanish translation so I’m bit I’m unsure if its accurate, Rapiel really liked him according to that, Rapiel has his own spin-off that’s connected to this arc.
He ran away after his dad made them breakup as a sign of rebellion. So as a reader think his feelings were more genuine than Clough’s.
Which is again sad, because Clough fricking just the threw the ring away when they broke up and forgot about it.

Yeah, he could have at least got him a diamond. I know he probably got it because of Rapiel’s eyes.
But the difference in how he felt when he got Aeroc a ring, the pressure was different. He keeps talking to himself like an idiot about proposing. This was the right feelings you should have felt before proposing!!!!
Instead of fantasizing about Aeroc before proposing… (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Rapiel… I’m sorry but is a really uninteresting character, if you read the spin-off his family and Wolflake were the main gems of the that show. Rapiel was just placed on the spotlight because of them and the tragedy of w1…
He develops into a more of an authority figure. He was a stricter parent than Wolflake and was more vocal. I think his youth and his sheltered life really affected how he didn’t see the blaring red flags… he couldn’t understand why his dad made him breakup with Clough. I wanted to scream, your lover beat two alphas an inch of their life because they accidentally interrupted his proposal. I know they were doing something indecent but damn… that’s scary!
The MC can only be mildly allergic to apples because he was able to throw up the apples. People who are deathly allergic to something, once they ingest something they are deathly allergic to, that leads to anaphylactic shock aka the throat closing and the person inability to breathe - its fast acting. The MC didn’t show any signs of anaphylaxis, he didn’t use an Epi pen or a syringe of epinephrine- so his allergic is mild and gives him discomfort probably indigestion and maybe hives.
As smn who has a deathly allergy who literally cannot breathe as soon as i just smell the object of my allergy.... not necessarily. I dont have syringes or epi pens either, never had tbh. And ie. Extreme rashes and strong swelling alongside throwing up is /not/ mild. Not necessarily deathly either but they're serious enough that they could lead to a bad end.
How is that possible that you were not given an epi pen IF you go into anaphylactic shock- for your general practitioner to not prescribe you one if you are in fact actually “deathly allergic” to something is a little unheard of. I think you are confusing me describing anaphylactic shock with your experience with allergic reactions. People who easily go into anaphylactic shock - the idea of not owning an epi pen makes no sense - that means for example if you go to a restaurant and a cook accidentally uses peanut oils in your meal and you are in fact actually deathly allergic to peanuts- your airway would close in minutes some people even less than a minute depending and without an epi pen chances of survival are not high if you don’t get medical help asap.
We are talking about two different things severe or even mild allergic reactions vs anaphylactic shock. …
As someone who has various allergies that cause anaphylaxis. There are 4 stages to anaphylaxis. So, it does not mean that having anaphylaxis means immediately life threatening we just hear more about those cases when it comes to it.. Stage 3 is when you start to typically have issues or trouble breathing. Stage 4 is when you have reached a more life-threatening stage.
While is it true that a lack of an EpiPen can be scary there are also those who cannot use epinephrine. I personally am actually allergic to epinephrine and do not receive any positive benefits from it. For me, my only hope is that 911, or emergency services can be called on time or there is a doctor present that can perform lifesaving onspot treatent.
Same with me. I am deathly allergic to celery in the "it takes a minute" so the first time it happened everyone around me panicked cuz we didnt know what was happening. I went to the doctor. And I don't get an epi pen. They told me it was 300 dollars and that was it.
You all taught me something new today that was very informative thank you!
No.. this is exactly what will happen. I do have pills with me. So no I'm not confusing it. Epi pens are rather uncommon where I live too.
Adding onto that: seeing ppl around me go into shock bcs of my own allergic reaction usually is smth.. that makes me very calm? Like how some ppl can act calm in highly dangerous situations? Smth like that.
I'm lucky to have never had such a situation where I needed actually 112 bcs of my pills.
But yea.. I'd say it is deathly if your airways close up even if its not a 1 minute or you're done thing for me. If I were in an enclosed space smelling of it, my body would automatically reject it to "proctect" me and thus already causing me to longer being able to breathe.. :/
But again I'd say different allergies can also cause also different reactions, like depending on ingesting vs "just" skin contact plus the cross allergies. All that being said, even if an allergy isn't deathly that doesn't mean it is pleasant to experience.
Ie. I have a mild allergy to apples, I still eat them bcs I absolutely love apples, but the sweeter the apple, the worse the reaction. And once a reaction "happens/appears" (like swelling of lips and tongue, rashes) my body will automatically refuse to eat anymore bcs I feel physically sick to my stomach. Even if it's "mild" considering all stages, it's still smth I'd take medicine for and it still hurts.
And in our MCs case here, the brother knowing he has one, regardless of what stage MC has, and using it against him is torturous and and to be forced to throw up bcs of it is also considered abuse.
Basically what really bugs me here at ur og comment is the "only" at the start.. as if it can be discarded.. when that's clearly a bad reaction MC displays. :(
I am an Emergency medical technician so when people call 911 and It’s for anaphylactic shock what I see is very different compared to the situation the MC is experiencing that’s why I said only my apologies
