Ok so i didnt read the whole novel but to read some point and i learnt that ml rejected mc back then because he was 16 and ml was 20. So rightfully, he thought it was the right thing to do. Because you know "the power imbalance".
And now, mc is 20, an adult so its okay....but heres the problem;
Yes mc is adult. 20 years old brain is different than 16 years old brain. Meanwhile 20 years brain is similar to 24 years old brain.
But the thing is; during those 4 years, mc was still isolated and never had friends. He still is similar to who he was when he was 16 but this isnt the problem. The problem is;
Ml is very kind realable, nice guy but maybe because of his trauma or beliefs,he plays a lot of mind games. Yes maybe thats his personality, i get it but you can see there is still "power imbalance" in their relationship. Mc is like open book while ml plays with him pretty much.
Oh yes maybe he wanted to play safe. Maybe he wanted him to talk with him and be honest first but this doesnt change the fact that he was manipulative and played mind games to get upper hand, and control in relationship. Which it worked.
My problem with this; this is basically the main reason why he rejected him 4 years ago because they arent equal as teacher and student. And years later, instead of trying to be honest anf open so that he could have equal relationship with mc; ml played with him.
I know he loves him. I know he is good guy. But this was really frustrating and i really wanted to share. Personally this is why i loved omega complex and their relationship more than those two, even though this alpha trauma's mc is a character i really adore. I also like ml, he is the type of character i like with mls but in this story, the way things worked was frustrating. And i wish this was properly adressed as issue in their relationship. I didnt finish the novel so i dont know. But well..this is my opinion. Thanks for people who read this. *sigh* thats all.
U r reading too much into it. The Ml's personality is like this . We saw him in Omega complex too . Nothing changed. Plus if u read the novel u'll realize a lot of things so let's not spoil for readers here. Ml hid a lot of things and Mc's mom is weird. But that's it. ML is a gentleman. Sm1 whome the mc can be with without thinking too hard if he will turn toxic . He is perfect they way he is and it is not about balance and no one can be a 10 out of 10 ( only the solo leveling mc or jay jo of wind breaker can ). The ml is stuck between the mc abd his mother. He reads a lot Into it too and this is stupid but this is drama genre the author decided
I can tell that this is his personality but ml and mc s relationship still feels like teacher student type of relationship. Mc is like a child with him. And ml is leading it. I dont hate ml. I love manipulative mls, especially if they are actually good guy. But reading it from mcs point of view, i hated how ml acted towards him. I simply explained my frustration.
May I ask which part of the novel you’re up to? Because the second half of the main story and all the side stories focus on Dohyun’s character in so much detail that your impression of him can completely change by the end of it.
Your right to think that there’s a power imbalance and that Dohyun acts ‘manipulative’, but I think all the things you’re worried about will be addressed, and no Dohyun definitely doesn’t get away with it! Would 10/10 recommend you finish the rest.
I read to the part where they both confessed and date each other. They even kissed in some event/festival or something. I dont remember where i left. Well, if their relationship progress and this is adressed, i will give a shot then and read until the end. I hope to see this.
Yes i understand
I see I see. That should be right before Dohyun’s character arc begins. It’s also a slow burn so you won’t see those changes you mentioned straight away but still highly recommend.
Ok so i finished the novel to the end.
So from what i understood, him being 16 wasnt the reason he rejected him. That talk was weird but in the end, i am glad that isnt really the reason. And about the teacher-student thing, i loved the lovers and chasing arc. I understand Do Hyun's situations. It was a good read. My only complain is that Wooyeon shouldnt have apologised to him at the end. Because regardless of everything happenned, he was in pain because of this love far too long. And i wish he didnt forgive him so easiely. I wished he took more times to forgive him completely. And sometimes, their relationship dynamic still feels weird but since his age wasnt the real reason he rejected, i dont mind that much. I hope one day, Wooyeon and their relationship grow out of it.
Anyway, thanks for Rec. For reading it until the end. The situation i mentioned in comment is still frustrating to me but well, later it gets better at least. I enjoyed the drama and characters, lol.
Woah that was fast. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I think Dohyun did initially reject Wooyeon because he was 16 (technically a minor) or at least that was still part of the reason. That being said, during their university life, that stopped becoming a reason because Dohyun doesn’t care about age gaps (since he chased after Yoonwoo in Omega Complex when he was 20 and Yoonwoo was probably 25).
About Dohyun’s personality, as frustrating as it was, I think it’s also exactly why this story is so good. It explains all of his actions since Omega Complex. He was abandoned by his parents so he became ‘perceptive’, ‘scared of being abandoned’ and ‘desperate for love’. For example, he was able to find out Yoonwoo was an omega in the first chapter of OC because of his ‘perceptiveness’ and fell in love with him because he liked the way Yoonwoo loved Taegyeom (to the point of hiding his second gender).
It also explains why Dohyun craved for Wooyeon’s love during their tutoring days, and why he was desperate to maintain that same image Wooyeon had of him by hiding his pheromones/smoking pheromone cigarettes among other things. Dohyun’s relationship with Wooyeon feels weird because he acts fake, but it’s also because he’s scared of being abandoned that he unintentionally puts up a wall with the people closest to him (including his parents and Jinah). Since it’s a habit that’s been ingrained in him since childhood, I think he realistically can’t be changed that easily.
Yeah but i think main reason he rejected him was that kid didnt know anyone else so it wouldnt be a choice. And yeah i like that story explains their actions. I dont necerally expect him to change. I just wanted to see more chasing between them lol.
Spoiler warning for ending; For the ones, who want to know how it ends.
++ Big brother's decision to make things right: Truth is revealed.
- Police dont know taeyoung and minjaes attempted to murder president, thanks to big brother Jungwoo who decides to open up because of taeyoungs words. He reveals his trauma to his second brother by himself and he decides that minjae has a right to speak up about his trauma to the world so he sent 'the pad" to him.
++ Second brother's way of redemption: For the future.
- Hyuk felt guilty for how he treated Minjae and how he failed to protect his big bro. He also wants to kill president but stopped by big brother who doesnt want him to be murderer. At the end, second brother became the president and actually use his authority for good, for the orphan kids. Also he felt guilty for how he treated Minjae.
++ President's ending: Punishment.
-In the end president was left with no medical help, and slow and painful death by stepbrothers. So he was punished in a way.
++ Mc and Ml ending: Live happiely ever after.
- Minjae and taeyoung live happy life together. Minjae even get job. He looks really healed and peacefull at the end.
++ Potential bonus chapters: We might get.
-If we get bonus chapters, it will probably be about side couple (step brothers) but it seems main story is finished.
I love you
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~.
Thank youu
Its weird story but if author try, it can be pretty interesting. Like uke doesnt want to date and sex but he wants to stalk. Why? He only sleeps with him to not be lonely and see's acceoting his offer is weird too. This series can be nothing but just cliche sex focused story or, maybe hopefully, characters turn out to be interesting. No high hopes but well, we will see.
It's only ten chapters long so not much will be happening, I think.
Oh, i see.
Does anyone have the raw links?? Pls, i cant waitttttt.
Those two dumb bastards are racing who will sacrifice themselves first for the others and act like noone will care for them when they are center of everything and everyone. They are the kind of characters you wanna hug and slap at the same amount.
I read to the end. Even though they didnt officialy said that they are couple, they clearly are couple at the end.
What happened to the crazy tutor obsession tho?
They all studied together.
with or without the tutor? bc this is a crazy story line just for a tutor
With*.
They’re actually couple at the end? Because the translations made it seem like the story ended with them being just friends please confirm
Yeah, thats why i said story never said "they are couple" but come on lol. They go to cinema, holding hands, working together. They kissed and jeolous of each others etc etc. Five of them are friends at the end but you can see the "different kind of closeness" between the two.
Also i read "thank you for being my friend" part as her thanking Jay for approaching her when they first met. This doesnt mean they arent something more. Even they said "we are just friends", you could read them as "roommates". "Oh yeah, they kiss, date, do everything together. Its a hommie stuff. Certainly not lovers! They are just roommates!" LOL.
Honestly with how strict their environment is (and being Korea) it's understandable why either they don't know they are gay for each other or they can't come out about it.
Or they are couple but author didnt want to make too obvious because of this.
I think it's a mix of both. Considering how big it's gotten where it has a drama already the author might have wanted more people to see it and sneakily have them as a couple.
Yeah. Well i personally see them as couple because lol, they act like one.
Where can I read it??
Having someone like Yeonwoo in your life is so precious, that someone who will cry for you whrn you cant do it yourself. At least they are with him and move on and heal all together :')))).
Spoiler Warning;
- Hyuk gave pad to Minjae for him to do whatever he wants. They dont mind he send videos to reporters or the issues with company. Things ended in a way Jungwoo wanted. The way i think everyone wanted. They get conclusion conversation about their feelings. Step brothers went their own way in life.
- Jungwoo put president in the "study room" were he abused him and Minjae. He cut all his meducal supports and decides to leeave him in pain and slow death.
- One year later, minjae and taeyoung are living happiely. Minjae is unemployed half hikikomori since eight month.
-End of the chapter. I kinda wanted a moment between Jungwoo and Minjae too. Well. Thats all.
Wait is that like the end of the manhwa? Or just the chapter
Chapter.
wtf is this bruh .. cmooon..
Well, it seems main couple is happy together and revenge taken.
I don’t think it should’ve went that route
What do you mean?
Finally.88.
