translator, thanks for letting me read this before i’m in the retirement home the amount of yearning was truly so perfect in this. i do love seeing deeply devoted tops being hurt and then find their happy end. this would be a full 5 stars if only the age gap wasn’t so prominent in the their past life.

it's interesting how many people turn away from this because of the creepy old man (maybe exploitation?) trope. i guess i haven't been exposed to much of it, or perhaps i have a penchant for it, because i think it adds a litte spice and mystery here lol -- assuming it's not non-con. the dub-con aspect of it is the only gripe i have with it atp. since we don't get a look inside yesung's thoughts at all, his behavior when being fingered is too ambiguous to say with certainty if he's disgusted or if he enjoys it. he comes off as promiscuous so i wouldn't put it past him that he does enjoy it if that makes sense? maybe, as opposed to this being a one-sided exploitation thing, he actually likes or liked the old guy? then again he's anxious about gyeol leaving any marks during their steamy encounters and about the old guy finding out, so there clearly is something dark lurking around the corner. sure we all know where and how this is gonna end in the long run, but i think it's too soon to judge their relationship. either way there must be a reason why yesung didn't clock him in the face when being touched. whether he didn't actually want to or couldn't, i'll just wait and see how this plays out. if it's the typical exploitation/blackmailing/non-con relationship, then i'll gladly put on the clown shoes.
is the comedy in the room with us rn? i mean i guess it is kinda laughable how predictably bad this is gonna be, so…
