I'm glad Taegu has some self awareness and actually realises how much of a hypocrite he is. The audacity to call out seoin when he did absolutely nothing when a child was being abused is just ridiculous. I don't give a flying fuck about his very heavily implied pedophilic feelings for yw. It's like he was waiting for yw to grow up to have a chance. He's even worse than those other "dating the kid I raised" people in these stories. I hope he really just let's yw go and not try to pursue shit romantically. For yw sake at least. Taegu is a pimp too so minus points there too.
Seoin slapping that little shit was so glorious. Haeyool has no respect or love for yw. He literally just wanted to own him cz yw is nice to him. He sees yw kindness as weakness. So what if yw wants to love and be fucked by seoin??? Back again to what I said that he just wants to own yw cz god forbid our baby has autonomy and actually pursues love with someone he has liked for a decade. It's yw's life not his. He has no right to determine what yw does with his life and ass. Haeyool has shown he is a danger to yw. He'll feel resentful for being smacked and hurt yw.
People need to stop praising yw for having a harem of questionable people. At this point in the story the only least questionable one is seoin. I don't like Taegu and haeyool calling yw sorry ass and idiot respectively. They act like yw being kind and wanting the love he's been yearning for ten years is a reason to think of him as less. Fuck them
I want bls like this but longer, horny and light-hearted. I'm tired of struggle love
I think comparing jjk to Dan is so disingenuous cz if jae has to be kind cz of similar backgrounds then why is Dan poor with nothing to show for his 30 years of life?? Dan too should have risen above the poverty and general adversity and make something great of himself that he can be proud of. But what is Dan, a coward, drunkard and habitual chainsmoker. And it's not hidden that he is ashamed of his life. It's why he admires jjk in the first place.His grandmother can't even die in peace, she raised him and tried to give him some semblance of stability but yet here we are. By y'all's logic that should be enough to make him a great man but really it's not. It's an unfair comparison really, I didn't even like writing that out loud. Y'alls binary way of thinking dismisses so many factors about how they got to be where they are. I don't think Dan is kind especially if he is so unkind to himself.
I see people say jjk had people but it seems like he left for Seoul quite early to pursue boxing seriously. We are not assured he was given emotional and mental support by the granny and ahjussi. What are the chances that he had to raise himself still even if he had boxing?? We have to wait and see. I get people hate jjk and that's why being dismissive of his upbringing is just an assured thing. I won't be doing that though cz I know trauma affects people differently. I have a soft spot for all traumatized people (doesn't mean they shouldn't be held accountable though).
Y'all act like Dan is peak human when he's been trying to off himself unconsciously. I would even say he hates himself that the so called kindness y'all admire is a mask to hide how broken he is. It's an unfortunate characteristic of people with suicidal ideation. He is tired of his life and I don't blame him when you can't ever truly express yourself when you've locked yourself in a cage where you are good to others but never to yourself. Jaekyungs shit treatment of him and rejection just asserted all those feelings of worthlessness he's carried around for as long as he can remember. It broke him to be discarded by the one person he has emotionally invested in beyond his grandma.
Any I might have went off track but I think the comparison thing oversimplifies the hard life both this people have lived through.
I'm going to piss y'all off but this chapter isn't about Dan and his feelings. It's not how jjk should change for Dan and even be kinder to Dan. The way we all experience life is different same goes for fictional characters. Just cz they grew up in similar situations doesn't mean their outcome will be the same. This is why pop psychology is so dangerous bcz of it's often deductive nature. The backstory is for us to further understand the man jaekyung and his fuckery overall. Once again it's not about Dan and what Dan deserves. It's for us to see and understand jjk beyond his sex life(it's not romance yet to me). Y'all want to center Dan so much when this part of the story isn't even about him. We get it you hate jjk and love Dan but y'all are annoying trying to shit on people's enjoyment of the progress we are getting. I don't know why y'all want jaekyung to be so obsessed with Dan that every part of his character should be about grovelling for Dan. Unless y'all want Dan to be manipulated let jjk deal with his shit and have some introspect before we get some accountability.
I don't believe this backstory is to justify his behaviour but it sure ash explains it. Don't be swayed tho, we can empathize and still not fuck with his fuck ass behaviour. I don't know why this is so common in manhwa where a parent dips and leaves the kid with the someone they know is an abuser. I hope his mom doesn't come back. I hope she stays away forever, shit I hope she's dead tbh. As for his nasty dad I hope he beat the shit out of him with his new found power. The man had a child in biologically hazardous environment on top of the abuse. He was probably injecting himself with jaekyung present. We finally understand why he doesn't care for anything more than boxing. We also get to see why he has such love-hate feelings towards Dan. Poor Dan unintentionally triggers him. I'm not saying jaekyung ain't a dickhead but we finally see why one moment he wants to save Dan and the other he quite literally hates his existence for lack of a better description. Anyway I'm here for it. I want to know more and I hope we finally see where the fuck ass jinx came from its about time the story is named after it.
The disrespect to the redhead uke is despicable just how I like it. He thought he was the prize now he was basically being smothered by both men he thought he had control over. I can now say it with certainty that he is just an attention whore. He wanted them both even though it seems nanjo was serious about him but who would want to take you seriously when you treat them like that?? I don't blame nanjo for indulging mokyoen cz the person he wanted was shit to him even if he can't consciously admit that to himself. He wouldn't be getting bent if he was all in with sunhwa. The audacity of Sunhwa to be offended when he set up this whole shit in the first place is ridiculous. Even in real life most people have affairs with the addition in the threesome. Clearly whoring around had lobotomized him. I don't feel bad for him. He was cheating and generally had no respect for nanjo or mokyoen, too self absorbed to see he's making people uncomfortable. He really embodies typical bottoms whose entire schtick is being wanted and always making everything about them and their feelings as if other people are just bags of potatoes.
My cutie patooties. Couples that mutually like each other are just precious. Power bottom supremacy
I was jumped last year for saying the bottom is an insufferable airhead. I'm glad to see I'm still right. All of them are red flags tho
I don't know why people are reading this when they constantly say they don't remember anything. Where did you leave your comprehension skills?? Is it that some of you can't read beyond tropes that's this feels like punishment?? I know I'm being mean but I'm so tired of the shit takes coming from so called fans. Like y'all are so off track with the lore of the story that I feel insulted. Like seoin calling haeyool babe is fucking sarcasm. ATP stop reading bl they are rotting y'all's brains. Read a book without pictures!!! Y'all are embarrassing ATP!!! That study about 2000s kids being unable to read, y'all are proving it right. You are embarrassing the rest who can read.
Why are people assuming seoin will fuck that shitty little twink??? Do they not teach sarcasm as a stylistic device in literature anymore?? The chapter begins with him basically telling the evil twink to fuck off why would he go to fuck him ??? I think y'all don't want to understand these characters and want all the biases you've conjured up in your head to be reality. Personally I'm getting the vibe that seoin in fiercely loyal to yw. He's doing what must be done cz that unwanted obsession freak is blackmailing yw. That man looks like he'd kidnap and try to assault him. Seoin knows haeyools fuckery best so I think it's best that he ends that shit cz yw doesn't even want an interaction with the guy.
I saw someone say yw shouldn't apologise to seoin but why wouldn't he??? Yw is a golden boy through and through. He loves seoin of course he'd say sorry after knowing that seoin felt abandoned by him. That is what love is. Their dynamic is a breath of fresh air. Seoin too has been worried of yw mental health after seeing those bottles like any normal person should be. I get his anger towards that new evil twink. It's no longer about jealousy but fury. That twink was blackmailing yw and I hope seo in deads that shit completely. He's made the promise to yw that this time he'll protect him. Even if he doesn't have control over everything on this he can at least do something like shutting up that obsessed bitch. The only obsession I love here is the mutual obsession between yw and seoin.
Why were we denied yw sucking seoin and please no one call it SA cz it's not.
Finally a story that addresses the fuckery of 2nd love interests. Most of them move on absolute and pure selfishness. They cockblock the MC from the love they want and mask it as care and worry when it's just control. They figure they can't have have the MC loving them so next best thing is seizing control. It's manipulative asf and I don't know why it's often defended but for once we have an MC that isn't oblivious and sets things straight. I love that bit when he told minwoo he isn't a child. 2nd love interests conveniently make the MC be a child to justify their obsessive helicopter parenting-like attachment. The MC is a grown ass man regardless of their history he has the freedom of choice and right to autonomy.
What is it about this twink Sunhwa that has nanjo in a chokehold??? I really don't get it. Is it because he looks like a teenage boy or something??? I'm a woman and I can't for the life of me find what his appeal is to make nanjo okay with being disrespected like this. I understand mokyoens crash out cz it is a different level of heartbreak seeing your crush boo'd up with a shitty person that doesn't respect them at all. He can't even give up cz he knows how trash his friend is and just backing away without saying anything is wrong even from a moral standpoint
Seeing people act like nanjo ain't a piece of shit too is wild to me. They're all pieces of shit in my opinion. They're all doing some shit thing to one another. This is what happens when pieces of shit convene they hurt each other. It's easy to blame one person but all of them are participating in a shit situation with no consideration for each others feelings. Nanjo doesn't care about sunhwas feelings just as much as sunhwas doesn't care about his. They both getting fucked by the same person. One is disrespectfully overt about it and the other is sneaky about it. If any of them had any respect for each other they'd dead this bs. I'm gonna give mokyoen his roses this one little time for dropping the bs. I hope he stays away from both of them. Nanjo and Sunhwa can continue their monkey business.
The Ari defenders highlight a fatal flaw with feminism and women in general. They defend her right to partake in hurting another woman. She was caught in someone's house and at first she even leaves but goes running back to him the moment he says shit she wants to hear. Doesn't probe the whole situation thoroughly at all. She saw the red flags and actively chose to ignore them. This excuse of he didn't tell her is so lousy. Y'all act like she has two pebbles dancing in her head instead of a brain. Another excuse is she's young and that there is a large age gap. She's not a teenager. Maybe it's the character design skewing y'all's perception of her. She even has a discussion with her friends about it and I think one of them cautions her but that is thrown in the wind. She wants to be wanted. She is like so many women that throw away their brain when it comes to being wanted. Like she only ever gets fucked and she doesn't stand up for herself to see she's being used.
Don't compare her to na haesoo who had nearly two decades history with this man. They were both teenagers who loved each other. Who goes into life with the love they had thinking things would change so drastically??? We've seen the backstory anyone would think they'd make it but reality is that even true love most times cannot survive the pressure of capitalism. Y'all are trivialising how na haesoo was systemically trapped with debt to defend a stupid greedy woman that couldn't keep her heart and legs closed especially when she could. Ari has made her whole relationship with minshit being wanted. She's a shallow woman that compliments his equally shallow existence. She set herself up to be a body he can run to and fuck and that's on her. She can be there for him all she wants. Ari lacks the discernment a grown woman should have. She wasn't manipulated for years for her not to make better choices. She herself begged him for a baby when she barely knew him and it's not like she wants to know him all she wants to hear is how much he wants her.
I will not give Ari grace. I don't know why this wave of internet feminism is devoid of holding women accountable. Ari was okay with the anguish of another woman and y'all want her to be given grace cz she's "young". Do better y'all. Good women shouldn't spread themselves for shitty men just cz he gave you some attention. She is doing herself a great injustice and for what?? Temporary desires and a quick nut?? She let this man into her home even when she knew there was something suspicious about his relationship with na haesoo. Y'all don't like hearing this but some women are utterly stupid and she's one of them. I'll say this cz I know it's young girls and women reading this, the heart is for pumping blood and nothing else. Your brain will protect you more than any other part of your body. Use it!!!
I'm so mad at Ari. She is stupid enough to keep the baby if it happens. Worse she'll try to use it to keep minshit. She'll delude herself that they should be a family and he should marry her. We'll have to see that mf yap about how this is the life he wanted with na haesoo. I hope girl sees the light and just leaves.
I want mincheol to get it all the nice house, the cleared debt and even a so called family but be so fucking miserable his nasty ass can never enjoy it. I want him to look at all the shit he has and realise his life long dream of being happy with na haesoo is no more and that nothing he does will get her back. That even with all the money he will always be the bum that broke his day one's heart. I want him to reel in the misery of not having what his heart truly desires. He deserves the real definition of a shit marriage, being with someone you don't love.
I hate minshit but Ari, fuck that bitch!!! She is a grown woman refusing to just use her brain. Don't defend her cz she knew. She wasn't manipulated into this relationship with him. She acts daft even when she knows she's being played. All it took was some dick to shut her up. She is such a weak spineless woman and maybe being emotionally violated some more will wake her up. I wish she knew the man she's so shamelessly obsessed with fucked her while thinking of his ex-wife getting railed by another man and nutted. She's gonna get impregnated by a bastard bitch bum and it's all her fault because she's a greedy woman that didn't want to close her heart and legs to a man that clearly had unfinished business with someone else. She wanted to be wanted so bad by him that ruining her life was worth it.
Dear fellow illegal readers stop posting scanalations of recent chapters online. If you are going to post the official chapters too at least crop the image so no one sees you are reading on mangago or any other site. Stop talking about the websites on twitter. Y'all are gonna make these series get purged off the net. The creators of this among many are talking about illegal readers and they about to start coming for uploaders. Don't take us back to 2021.
I never shipped Jooin and Cain. It's not that I hated Cain but I always knew he was just Jooins rebound and most times even in real life rebounds never get the love they desire. They're just treated as substitutes and to stall until the person rebounding them either gets back with the person the like or they move on to someone completely new. Cain was a filler for Jooin and not someone whose feelings were ever taken seriously. To me I'd confidently say that Cain was being emotionally abused but most fans especially Cain stans can never accept that. Sometimes I think y'all even hate him because seeing him be an emotional punching bag and still wanting him to be with someone that emotionally violates him is madness. Cain slept on the floor for months and y'all thought that was romantic. Who would let someone they like sleep on the floor? No one unless they don't like you and even if they are trying to be nice they can't bring themselves to like you. Cain starts to lose himself to the point of even wanting to cut off his only support system for something that isn't assured. It needed to end.
Before you deflect and talk about Yahwi and Jooin stop yourself. The success of both of these ships was never dependent on each other. The timeskip proves that, even with Yahwi out of the picture Jooin still didn't want Cain. This time he just had the courage to admit it and stand on it. Jooin was always the constant factor. Everything moved only when he moved. People act like it was Yahwis fault but really even Yahwi leaves of his own volition and still Jooin doesn't choose Cain. And this is before the timeskip. It was always Jooins choice and no one else. I will emphasize the point that Jooin acted like it was a competition between these two ships and which one would hold more weight but trying to strategize love is why so many people are failing at it. Trying to prove a point while hurting someone's feelings is just lack of empathy and emotional intelligence.
