oh yes, jeakyung finally learning how to accept his feelings and act on them at the ripe age of 26
Honestly, fuck Dojin. Somehow it's always him doing the worst, most heinous things to his spouse. Byul is young and he doesn't understand a lot of things yet, and he's adolescing to top it off, so I don't think people should crucify him for his reaction, after all, he's not at all aware about Hye-sung's past, but Dojin, on the other hand, is despicable. He saw first hand the hurt and the trauma that both of Hye-sung's parents caused him yet he decided on his own to allow the woman who abandoned his partner as a child to have a relationship with his son behind said partner's back... brother, the disrespect, and complete disregard for his wishes, boundaries and opinions is off the charts.
I really want to see how Hye-sung and Byul get through this rough patch. Like, how you explain to your teenage son that his father raped you on several occasions, got you pregnant and convinced you not to get an abortion when you were already in a very vulnerable position offering you a deal to keep it, then didn't honor that deal all in an elaborate ruse to baby trap you, but it's okay because in the end you put up with all of that for the sake of your baby, to be the parent you never had, and on the way you fell in love with your rapist so it's all good byul don't worry about it...
Nono, just remembering all the shit Hye-sung went through, even from childhood, his life was full of struggles and abuse. Even when he was suffering from what I can only call postpartum depression, he was antagonized over and over by the people around him, and now his husband and child pull this on him. You would see me on the news, damn. I just hope the author doesn't force him to forgive his mother. She might have had her reasons, but that doesn't erase what she did to her son. I hope for at least a little vindication for Hye-sung. Let him be far away from those who hurt him, it's literally asking so little yet his husband still couldn't allow him that much. Fuck, I'm so mad on his stead, he deserves so much better than this amiga ccpt
guys I'm at chapter 16 and I feel insane, I'm astounded, the fucking top is such an asshole, I can't understand how it gets better my man was really coercing someone into having sex with him, love bombing and then dipping out like crazy, like,,, bro, he ghosted mc like thrice, and MC fell for it line hook and sinker, HELP, it's driving me mad up the wall, is the fluff really worth it? all they ever do together up till now is literally just fuck
I read the novel already but the way Jigu fumbled Yeonwoo still made me as livid as the first time I read it ♡ Jigu, Jesus Christ you just came in your boxers while on his lap, the least you can do is cuddle him, pleaseeeee have mercy on your poor boyfriend
bro had a psychosomatic episode over having feelings for other person
Not gonna lie, it was kind of comedic that the dad actually died before he won lmao he really couldn't let him have it
the cover art hints at a funny, cheeky, romantic story about a thug chasing after a younger guy, all cutesy, light and fun, but we got misery porn instead yikes
I don't blame wooyeon if I was put on the spot like that in a public place I would literally kill myself like, what gives bro, can we be alone for this conversation? can you offer me some grace?
Imma be honest, if I was an outsider looking in, and was asked of my opinion on the situation, I would also advice both of them to end the relationship. I don't think the problem is the age difference in the first place, but the fact that they're both at very different stages of life and it's going to be difficult for them no matter how much effort they put in their relationship; Yeoreum hasn't even finished college, while Mr. Lim is already 40, with a stable job and a lot of emotional baggage. Not only are their mindsets different, but the power imbalance is too much to just ignore. This is exactly what lead to the current situation. Mr. Lim isn't great at communication, he's quite emotionally stunted and resorts to cruelty to end things instead of discussing things with Yeoreum. And on the other hand, I don't think Yeoreum would have let him go if they discussed things better because he's not mature enough to accept the very real worries Mr. Lim has. If Mr. Lim had told him he loves him but is concerned about their dynamic and affecting each other's lives for the worse, Yeoreum would have lead with the fact that is mutual, ignoring everything else. This is actually what got them in the situation in the first place, Yeoreum "forced" a relationship on Mr. Lim with hopes that he would make him change his mind, he couldn't handle not getting what he wanted from the beginning. Obviously, we, as the omniscient readers know that they're both in love but fear is gripping Mr. Lim, and maybe they can sort it out, and maybe Mr. Lim can shut up the voices in his head telling him how their relationship looks for other, and try and ignore the judgement, but dude, if he doesn't want to deal with that, he has the right to choose not to. What I look down the most is how he handled it, he was unnecessarily cruel, this I also attribute to his age and the generation he grew up with. Idk about this one fellas. They'll probably sort it out anyway. Or maybe once Yeoreum has his life more put together they could try again, idk idk
Does anyone have the link to the novel's english translation? The page where I read it the first time is not working anymore help
cómo que "¿quieres ser mi novia?" yeoreum? no que sí la armabas
if I may speak... Sehan feels like the epitome of all those Korean guys in the news and social media. He's insane in a such a pathetic way. He's so self-centered and so deep in his denial he can't even see the ways he's hurting the people who cared for him. Back then, it was Gram, and now his current (possibly ex) boyfriend. And the worst part is that he can't even see how that's just the consequences of his actions, and yeah, it sucks his parents are homophobic but cry me a river, like no one else has ever gone through that without becoming the worst asshole known to man.
Honestly, I thought this was heading to a very different direction when they almost broke up. For a second there, I thought Inhwee was going to break free from that toxic, abusive relationship finally and definitely. They got back together without actually talking things out or acknowledging any of the harm done instead. To say this was beyond disappointing would be an understatement of my feelings about this series. But since I already wasted my time reading this trainwreck I might as well vent out my frustrations about it, so here it goes:
To begin with, a relationship build up on lies is never up to a good start. The lies both Inhwee and the ML told each other at first were so stupid too, it seriously made me question their intelligence, especially Inhwee's. To top that off, all of their intimacy, in consequence, was extremely coercive. The sex the had for the first few chapters was not consensual because Inhwee was actively being lied to. You cannot give real consent under those circumstances, it makes me mad how this was never addressed once the cat was out of the bag.
When Inhwee found out about ML's lies, I thought he was upset because he felt played and humiliated, but apparently no? He was just upset over the fact the principle of lying, which I thought was hypocritical of him, honestly, since he has not stopped lying even after they made up. See? Their whole relationship is lies upon lies upon lies.
And when they made up, they didn't even bring up the fact that the trust they both have in each other is flimsy as fuck.
And then there's the thing about the ML being outright abusive and a rapist. BIG SIGH. I don't even know where to begin, he never respected boundaries or listened to watch the MC wanted during the relationship, from being to almost end he did what he wanted and took what he wanted with little to no regard for Inhwee. At so many times it felt like he was treating Inhwee as a literal fleshlight. Then, he's also obsessive, possessive and jealous. He stalks the MC and follows him around against his wishes, he gets violent, and there's the time he sexually assaulted Inhwee in the park. But, hey, it's ok because he's nice sometimes and he says he loves the MC. All that's well ends well I guess.
I doubt this is gonna go the way I think it should, I guess that from here on out they're going to magically be happy forever and have no more issues (except for everything remaining the same only this time Inhwee won't fight against it). It goes without saying that I'm dropping this shit. To anyone who keeps on reading, good luck. I'm no stranger to toxic yaoi or whatever but this is not even fun because it's not just toxic codependency or some shit like that. This is dead ass an abusive relationship if I've ever seen one. Arite I'm out
Do any of the artists/authors have a Twitter account?
