That was...a lot at once. I figured there was sexual trauma but I have to say this was about awful way to drag it all out of him
FOR ONCE THE FIRST COUPLE IS WRITTEN SO WELL WE HAVEN'T LOST INTEREST EVEN WHEN 2ND COUPLE IS HELLA FLAVORFUL
I prefer reading the second couple bc it's nice to see 2 shitty people change for the better after finding each other but mc for first couple was so ass
As much as I want okamomo romance back, I can wait patiently so long as Jiji or Vamola are center stage ♡
First I wanna say I don't condone any of ts irl of course but I am enjoying it it in fiction bc it DOES actually make sense and it's not as sudden as it feels BECAAAUSE
MC wanted out obviously bc he was confined, but he was also feeling betrayal and resentment towards ML who would not only strip him of his freedom but also seemed so cold and sort of devoid of any warmth. We see here that MC actually missed him the whole time, and we know ofc that he did already have feelings for him that he just felt that he couldn't act on logically
But then we all find out kind of suddenly that it was all entirely an act and a way for ML to get Mc's attention. Every part of it was just ML doing the worst things he could think to do because if MC hated him more than anything else, at least he'd be in MC's mind at all.
He breaks down and cries and makes it obvious he regrets everything (literally saying like "what was the point? Why did I.." or something) and that means MC realizes that ML actually fully loved him and reciprocated his actual feelings the whole time and I think he really just feels in that moment that they're back to a decade ago and he's looking at the younger, insecure ML he had a soft spot for that just wants to love and be loved back
Does that mean that what ML did was okay? No ofc not, but I think it made MC really feel differently about everything and MC to begin with is way too forgiving and also traumatize as is, I think he's just resigned himself to his feelings and would rather live with the person he knows he can't happily live without than to be separated for the sake of what's healthier
Finally someone said it, good analyzing. Honestly Hee-seo would be a great partner if he hadn’t done that shit earlier but if MC decided to bury the bad memories and wants to make happier memories with Hee-seo then that’s that, I suppose. I’m not complaining either, this lovey dovey stuff really suits them.
Yeah! It's not a typical functional relationship but it works for them
Y'all need to expand your community circles. He doesn't look like a kid. I know plenty of big strong adult men who stand next to my twink friends that are the same age and while they definitely look tiny, they don't like kids, they look like mc. Of course the style is cutesy, but if the artist draws a kid there's definitely gonna be a big difference between that and the mc.
i heavily agree with this
Which they have in the flashbacks and they are very different ╮(￣▽￣)╭ people just don't wanna let it slide
So true (alnat fan )
alnst is so peakk
So real
He's 40 years old?!!
The creators note says 36 so idk what's up with the years...
I took it as he meant 40 years since he was first in the village, met the mum ect
Oh yeah like it's been over 40 years since they first met.
That's what I thought omg
OOOHH okay makes sense
I thought he was rounding it up. Also assuming he left before hyeonji knew she was pregnant, it’s technically been 37 years since he left.
Almost 40 or roughly 40yrs... it's been too far long, 1-2 more years don't really matter
