i hope dohyeok gets a redemption arc and recognizes and repents for what he did to suha and becomes way less shitty. also the irony, suha confessed to him and he took advantage/thought nothing of it and the same is happening to him.
i actually didn't read the full story either lol! but from the side story it looks like he made suha believe they were in a relationship and coerced him to perform sexual activities he wasn't comfortable with, then dumped him, which caused him to spiral. so the things he went through with the gang rape, he did to suha before too.










this was such a bittersweet treat, mo subverted so many things in the best of ways. usually characters like him (head honcho, has the physical build of a super dominant-looking dude, bends over backwards to do favors for his crush) are so aggressively top that it's such a gem to see that not only is he open to being a bottom, but he's also trying to learn and grow and is emotionally mature enough to communicate his feelings and put the needs of someone he cares about above his own. when nuo got assaulted, instead of being physically violent, he let authorities handle things. he wants to learn and get along with his employees (but honestly instead of giving gifts, set a culture of taking pto and limiting overtime). it's so incredibly hard to realize, "my feelings have been one-sided" but mo handles it with a lot of self reflection and class.
i get where nuo is coming from, he seems to have a lot of trauma from his past relationship and doesn't seem ready to start a new one anytime soon. he did try to create a boundary. maybe he doesn't owe an explanation to anyone, but he also knew how mo felt about him and really should have been more transparent on where his headspace is instead of leaving mo in the dark with just a no. there were little hints but at the same time i couldn't really gauge how nuo felt about mo. does he have feelings but is afraid to commit, or was he just taking advantage of mo's feelings for his own self gratification?
the ending was too abrupt, it'd be nice if there were side stories about nuo's friend, peachie, nuo's sister, and a look into mo and nuo's life after they've moved on.
btw based on how the story played out, it feels like the title should actually be "no arguing with xiao nuo", mo ended up being pretty compromising
