Σ( ￣□￣||)

why is this so sweet? ╥﹏╥
they’re so healthy

i feel like the choppy sex scenes were meant to make us uncomfortable, right? there was no flow or communication. ML was big on consent until the latest chapters… i’m hoping for a big confrontation later on

Sorry in advance; seems like I can’t post links. I’ll try posting them in my reply.

I found some interesting tidbits while scouring the internet (had to use the wayback machine way too often cause the author’s naver and twitter posts were all deleted; get a life me ;;-;;):

- Seungtaek graduates law school and becomes a military judge in the future
- Seungtaek can play the piano but has a poor sense of aesthetics
- If there’s a musical evaluation for class: Vice President has a good singing voice, Seunghee’s voice is quiet so the teacher always tells him to sing louder, Seungtaek just sings as the teacher tells him to so he doesn’t ruin it, Soohyuk sings casually, and Kyubin can’t hold back his laughter and starts giggling as he sings
- Kyubin makes a cameo in S to A
- Unlike Kyubin (solo since birth), Seungtaek dated a girl for one week in elementary school (can you even consider that dating?)
- Kyubin and Seungtaek are each other’s first love
- Kyubin always imagines his daily life living with Seungtaek
- Seungtaek stays a Fancy fan but Kyubin no longer follows her
- Seungtaek and Kyubin both like soccer but root for different teams. When they watched soccer together, they get into fights. So now, they don’t watch soccer matches together anymore
- Only Seungtaek can eat spicy food well while the rest of the main cast can’t handle spice
- Both Inbeom and Soohyuk smoke in high school, while Seungtaek starts smoking in college (the other two leads don’t smoke)
- After finding out that Seunghee dislikes the smell of cigarettes, when they start officially dating, Soohyuk quits smoking. For the rest of his life, Seunghee never knew Soohyuk smoked
- Seunghee’s ears aren’t pierced
- Seunghee may or may not have debuted as an idol (up for interpretation) (but the author wrote on their naver post that if Seunghee were to go on Produce, he would initially gain popularity due to his looks but because he’s always quiet and lack screen time, he gets eliminated from the preliminaries; there was an AU (couldn’t find link) on twitter of Idol Seunghee - doesn’t smile much but listens well - and jealous Soohyuk)
- Of the main characters, Soohyuk gets jealous the most
- Seunghee likes cats while the other four leads like dogs

Kyubin’s friend group at Karaoke and Restaurant settings:
- Kyubin sings hip hop at karaoke bars but his friends always press stop after the first verse. Soohyuk will sing a ballad and then shake the tambourine for an hr
- At BBQ, Kyubin is surprisingly the type to step forward and grill the meat while Soohyuk is the type to refill the vegetable and side dishes
- Neither Kyubin nor Soohyuk have much of a sense of belonging to the group that they hang out with but they have a lot of fun together

- Y’all probably already know the existence of the author’s dillyhub account. Apparently these are the stories: 10 years later r19 scene of SooSeung, what happened to KyuTaek at the sports festival (according to comments, Taek was proactive while Kyu was shy) and the misters side story (Incomplete Combustion) but these content are either deleted (most likely) or age restricted so you have to send proof of age (is it worth it though? prob not and i don’t think it would add much to the story anyway)

- And lastly, I wanna make a mini Soohyuk appreciation post cause I feel bad for doubting him after reading his POV. He is so bbygirl-coded. Like how his heart was beating so fast despite trying to look calm at the movies. Or when he didn’t look at Sunghee in the karaoke room bc he was nervous and didn’t want to show it. Or how he’s always aloof around everyone else but is always clings to Seunghee and only shows him kindness. Or when he is a chronic oversleeper but wakes up before Seunghee to make breakfast. Oh and that scene with his dad when he tells him he also knows what it feels like to fall hard for someone at first sight ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

Me trying to figure out if 18 is Korean age or International age ┗( T﹏T )┛

Me when the ages keep changing (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Me shipping the only other adult in the group ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Me thinking my ship might sail (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

Me realizing I have to wait for updates now （/TДT)/

I was rereading this manhwa, but this time reading the official version instead, which doesn’t include the twitter extras and end credit chibi scenes. Here’s the list of chapters that includes those if anyone is also planning to read the officials but don’t want to miss out on those scenes:

9.5, 10.5, 11.5, 12.5, 13-15, 17, 18, 21, 23, 24-26, 28, 29, 29.5 (you should read Hello Again before reading 29.5 if you don’t want spoilers), 30, 34, 35, Season 1 Afterword, notice, 36-38, 40, 41-43, 45, 50, 50.1, 51, 67.5, twitter extras 1&2 (after ch 69 or side story 1 part 2)

I recommend having one tab with the officials and another with the fan translation so it’s easier to navigate between the two.

They survived the three year itch, witnessed the first snow, and had a significant past encounter.

Your honor, my clients are soulmates!!

Hello everyone, I am 히눈. I sincerely thank you for accompanying "Minority" to the end. It has been a year and a half since the serialization began. I still remember that when I wrote the postscript of the first season, I added a Q&A session to increase the fun. However, due to the deadline for serialization, I regret that I was unable to prepare separately. Therefore, this postscript will mainly share with you my thoughts and feelings during the serialization period and some congratulatory pictures, (even if you don’t read it, it’s not a big problem)

My debut work "Cream Boy" is a work with a relatively relaxed and lovely atmosphere. In comparison, the beginning of "Minority" is lingering with a dark and melancholy atmosphere. In fact, it has always been my dream to create a work of this style, so during the serialization period... I really enjoyed it very much. It can be said that... I was full of enthusiasm and extremely happy

Although the beginning of this work is relatively gloomy and dark, the ending is a happy ending. Many authors should like this ending method very much, but for readers who prefer the style of the first half, it should leave a lot of regrets

In fact, in my earliest conception, the two separated in high school and met again by chance during college, and everything would end at that moment. It is expected to be a semi-open ending that is not BE

But as the series unfolds, the story of Hee Chan and Jin Hyuk gradually becomes concrete. I have invested deep feelings in the characters and gradually immersed in them... So I think that no matter what, I must give them a warm and happy ending

I can't help but think, if we can't be happy, then what's the point of all the suffering we've endured? The two will eventually meet and grow together, not deliberately avoiding happiness, accepting everything calmly... This is also the only way for minors to grow into adults

As you all know, this story describes how two people whose hearts are twisted and broken meet, know each other, and fall in love, and step by step learn what is strong and weak, and finally find the meaning of growth

In my teenage years... I was as dark and depressed as Hee Chan and Jin Hyuk. Because I was already familiar with being deeply trapped in misfortune, I always avoided the path to happiness. I once found it difficult to accept the fact that I could become happy. After all, wanting to be happy is also a courageous thing. And I think that if you want to get this courage, you must first face your own weakness and find the meaning of growth. Only when you become strong first can you accept happiness calmly. I want to express this to everyone through the two protagonists. I sincerely hope that everyone can truly feel everything I want to convey

During the serialization period, I received many comments from readers. I heard that many readers cried because of the story of the two protagonists... I feel sad for everyone, but I also feel a subtle sense of comfort in my heart because reading works is to resonate with each other, right? (This is my personal opinion) Because everyone empathizes with the sadness of Hee Chan and Jin Hyuk, then have I also comforted the sadness hidden deep in the hearts of readers, hehe

I have also received a lot of comfort from everyone. Since I started working as a full-time online comic writer, I often feel lonely because I don’t meet others often and need to work alone. Sometimes it’s really hard to stick to it

However, thanks to the readers who deeply resonated with Hee Chan and Jin Hyuk, I was able to persevere to the end. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I plan to take a 1-month break and return with a side story

Finally, here are the congratulatory pictures sent by dear friends

I think my initial comment got deleted cause it included a link (What’s the Filipino word for rock?). A user (Rose_flags) commented the hidden details in chapter 92 and it really made me view Ilay in a slightly different light. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still irredeemable. Their commentary also increased my hatred of a certain character.

I’ll just summarize what they noticed:
- Tay was w/o a shirt during call w/ uncle but later when Ilay is staring at a sleeping Tay, Tay was wearing a T-shirt (meaning Ilay was there when Tay made that call to his uncle)
- Tay’s clothes when sleeping are oversized; these are Ilay’s clothes. Another way for Ilay to possess Tay. But when Tay gets up, he changes into his own clothes; he couldn’t accept wearing Ilay’s clothes
- There is bandage on Tay’s forehead before the act. The bandage comes off during the act (chapter 91). And when Tay is asleep, there’s a new bandage, but he never realized it. If Tay did notice, he would have ripped it off like he took off Ilay’s clothes
- What do all these details mean?
Ilay saw Tay crying and calling his uncle, but didn’t try to stop him. Instead, he carefully put a new bandage on Tay’s forehead, changed the sheets, and cleaned him up. These are all acts to prove that Tay is his. Since Tay is his, he can wear Ilay’s clothes and eat Ilay’s food (breakfast chicken)

Ilay staring at Tay on the bed is for two reasons:

1. He’s relieved that he has formed a bond with Tay, even if it’s by brute force. He saw that Tay doesn’t hate that POS uncle who betrayed him and laughed off his pleading phone call because he is family. So now Ilay thinks he also has a chance.

2. He thinks it’s unfair that Tae wants to hold onto the bonds he made with his f*cking psychopathic uncle who laughs at him and his brother who never makes Tay’s life lucky, but can’t accept someone who actually wants him and would run across the world to find/capture him.

But since Ilay is aware of how BS his logic is, he keeps his needier and melancholic actions subtle so that Tay doesn’t notice them.

Also, this user commented that Tay is quick to adapt as a survival mechanism, so he buries heavier negative emotions that come out as sleep talking/sleep walking (like his call to his uncle, or when he was wronged as a kid)
