Grayson is such an asshole brother (once again THIS IS A SPOILER) from giving Chase a dog phobia wherein he tricked Chase into thinking that he slept with a dog on his first rut to continuing to drug Chase to the point he can't sleep without drugs. The biggest thing for me was when his pet bird died and no one emphatized with him and even told him that he shouldn't be sad over the passing of a 'useless' bird. And Grayson (once again smh) threw it in the bin while his brother was still grieving. I'm really thankful that first love is Josh, you couldn't really fault that man. He's perfect in every way.

Tbh Tae and Ilay's relationship in Passion is the only one I like, other side characters' stories like Yuri and XinLu's and Richard and Christoph's (fuck richard ) I didn't like them that much. But as much as I wanted to hate Ilay here, he just truly doesn't hnderstand that he likes Tae, he REALLY likes him. He would even say things like 'You can live without me, but I CAN'T live without you so if you die I die', he will also stare at Tae while he sleeps while laughing and smiling like an idiot, also bit of a spoiler but after this scene he will go to Yuri's room to discuss something and after that he'll stare at nothing until dawn while thinking about Tae.

I just read the novel omg, I love how Josh is the dominant in their relationship, if he wanted to kiss Chase, he'll do it. He's not the typical uke who blush when the seme notice him, in fact, it's the other way around. I don't have the link where I read it bc I did it in my computer, but if you want to read the novel just google Kiss Me If You Can Novel, I just clicked the first one that come up. It's actually pretty short with only 3 volumes + side stories. I finished it in a day.

May I suggest stop looking at this story with 'normal' perspective, both of them aren't even normal. MC is being eaten by guilt bc of his best friend's death, ML has psychopatic tendencies and can't be bothered if he hurts someone just because he can, both are flawed characters and if you take a moment and just look how LWY is trying to be normal, to try to understand CIB although he fails most of the time but he's doing it bc he wants to stay with him and with Inseob, I think he just doesn't want to move on and thinks he deserves to suffer by being with LWY with fhe guise of revenge but he actually likes him and still plans to continue the revenge even though there's no point in doing so. It's so complicated and that's why I like it.

Yo, did marking change in this universe? CMIIW, but in Kiss Me Liar, alphas can't mark omegas, I mean, they can but only temporary. So remember when Keith spent his rut with Yeon woo, and as an act of revenge YW marked him and now Keith can't emit pheromones and can only smell his omega's scent. But in this story it was the opposite. Chase marked him and now Josh doesn't have a scent. Is this how it is in the novel too?

From my understanding, it wasn't that Alpha's couldn't mark Omegas, just that it didn't always take (?)... and Keith could still emit pheromones, he just wanted to be with his omega (and he could still smell pheromones) - there was something else to it (I don't think it was just that he had no memory of who he slept with or who had marked him), but I don't remember. I also think that Josh simply never had a strong scent (unlike Yeonwoo).

In KML both can Mark each other but is different on both, when an alfa is marked he can't smell or react to other omegas and can only be with that person. But when an omega is marked he can be with other people and replace the mark with a new one, the only thing is that ones marked he can smell other altas pherormones but don't react to them the same way as with the alfa that marked him.
In Josh case, he didn’t smell that much to begin with, his pherormones are very low so nobody notice them, then with the mark he has more tolerance to others pherormones, he only reacts to Chase. Also Chase has more selfcontrol than those in KML

The thing is, with what Grayson said in KML, an alpha marking an omega is useless because it can be replaced by other alphas, so if it's temporary why did his mark lasted for years. So you're actually correct with Josh not reacting to other alphas but the one who marked him but when Keith bit Yeon Woo it literally doesn't do anything, hence Alphas marking omegas are useless. It just doesn't make sense to me that here the marking lasted for years but it was established before that marked omegas aren't really a thing.
he's gonna cum rock this Mugo's world hell yeah
