Lol. good thing it ended that way or else im gonna see those self-righteous readers again.
Wow. I was gonna say I enjoyed this story but the things people like you say make me want to puke and thus not only made me remember the seme did still force himself on the other guy but also made me lose any enjoyment I had in the third chapter altogether. I have to see rape apologists all the time so why is it unfair to force you to see a fewer number of people with actual fucking decency? It's funny how majority rape apologists are so naive though, thinking fiction is made up entirely by fictional people or that it doesn't imitate real life. Oops, kaythxbainow, sweetcheeks.
On point.
Taku has more fanbase than Joowon by just a tiny gap and I get it.. tho, is it the author's intention or flaw that Taku's intentions seems shallow or even short term? It's like he is just floating by. Sure, he and Haesoo are compatible but He has no real connection to Haesoo and too early to call it "Real Love" or even "Love" at all. He still has University and basically just staying in Korea to feed his curiosity.
It's not in his personality to just be in a relationship with Haesoo.. (altho if it's purely sex, I can believe that and they could last like 5-10 years just being sex partners lol).. anyway, Taku's supposed to head out to Japan but stayed because something interesting (Haesoo, his writing and his looks) caught his photographer-interest. AND in the latest chapters from Lzhin? He basically has control over his life and can worm.his way into Haesoo and Joowon's careers and lives like that. TAKU is GOALS tho.. he's super confident, he gets what he wants but you can't read his mind..
I guess my point is, at present Taku & Haesoo is HOT, but you can't really see Haesoo going to Japan with Taku and living there.. there's no substance and they don't even talk about anything.
Joowon too, altho in Joowon's case they have history and Joowon's crippled by that history so he can't admit his feelings to Haesoo..
Also, In the latest chapter...
TAKU was looking at Joowon the same way he was looking at Haesoo. The staff even said, Taku never works with Koreans and it's rare for him to go and work in Korea.. but
1. He worked with Leo (so, what's his standard?????)
2. Why did he choose to work with Jwon? To size him up or something else?
I don't really care who Haesoo ends up with but I can't think of how TAKU would fall for Haesoo on a deeper level. So I get why a lot of people don't get him.. still his suave and confidence is really attractive.
omgggg i just imagined that taku would be interested in joowon too gyfgftufrtufgg joowon gonna be the top ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
And DECISIVE.. but I can't help but be cautious and wary of his intentions. There's no better man with either Taku or Joowon.. they both have their weirdness and agendas.. Taking.. he's in "Love with his art and he did say he likes anything sensual, doesn't have to be deep or anything, but sensual" - Taku (ch5) and so in the latest chapter did he plan it *spoiler*
.
.
Meeting Joowon? Nothing wrong with it. I LOVE THE STORY no matter who Haesoo ends up with. Idc.
Going back to Taku.. From day 1 Taku has called the shots on his life. He can turn down any interview he wants.. same with the projects. So, he doesn't have to sit there and take a project if he didn't want to. Like seriously. Something is off. Nobody is forcing him to take the job. He doesn't need the publicity nor the money. Talking about decency~ he should've avoided Joowon, turned down working with him~ if~he's really serious with Haesoo. But if all he wants is the allure of sex and the taboo air with Haesoo then that explains why he just say there and let things happen.. even to the point of pissing off Leo.
Also I hope they will use protection haha. If they don't, means Taking likes Haesoo too much or he's carefree. Lol
Honestly, I think you're overthinking it. You can work with someone's ex and still be serious about them. If he did plan it (which I don't believe since the agency has been giving Leo's projects and photoshoots to Jowoon), I cannot wait to find out why. If anything, it makes for an interesting story and it needs to push ahead--there are 29 chapters out, and they were bound to meet. The central theme of this story are two ex stepbrothers having a sexual relationship. And a photographer that has a porn of himself and his ex on the web. Do you think anyone in this story has any decency?
With Flashbacks playing a huge part in the story, I think overthinking readers is part of the author's intentions.. but yeah, decency is out of the picture and any normal romance too.. not hating on the idea, just stating that it can be possible---- and I like it, the plot thickens.. just some people are romanticising the step brother and Taku so much when they both equally good and bad in their own ways
Honestly, Taku is so mature and forward. I don't wanna say manlier than Joowon, but he knows what he wants and he knows how to get it-- NO GAMES, no psychological stuff. If this chapter 24 we're all movie scene it would've been iconic. But Haesoo.. wow, I feel for this guy. The story is getting thicker and thicker I love it.
Hmm, the guy gave someone who he is meant to be in a working relationship his bloody sex tape on their first meeting. He also appears to be stalking Haesoo and Jowoon because he is interested in their taboo-ness
That's what I thought too at first. STALKING Haesoo and Joowon because of their taboo(Ness) but it's kinda beneath Taku. For now, I'll believe that it's a coincidence with Joowon. A lot of people bashed me when I said Taku planned his meeting with Joowon in his Taku-way. You know, he's really smart... But people said, the author said from the start that Taku and Juwon are gonna work together. I was thinking.. err no, it was cancelled, there was no plan for them after that. But then he was **supposed** to work with Leo 2 more times--- 1. His main photoshoot which he chose Haesoo and cancelled Leo. 2. The company shoot with Leo which (allegedly) the company replaced Leo with Joowon. BUT who's to say Taku didn't have any input in choosing the model? I HOPE it's just a coincidence cuz Taku's gonna look like a real perv of he set it all up.
So who was Mcqueen waiting or?? The object of his unrequitted love?
If all guys were as straightforward and NO-Bullshitt like Taku we'd all be saving a lot more time. Gosh. I've met so many guys who beat-around-the-bush.. Im too lazy to read-between-the-lines or tell what they really mean and want.. if Taku existed in the real world wow.... I can imagine how clearer relationships would be and how 'miscommunication' and misunderstandings would CEASE TO EXIST. I've been team Joowon~ up until this point. Never seen anything as refreshing as TAKU in the 100000O MANGA and Novels I've read ever. Duuuuuude.
And to people debating on TAKU VS JOOWON. Guys... They're 2 evils. Nobody is the better option. We got someone who's in-denial and emotionally abusive to Haesoo... And the other one who's a perv who likes taking photos and basically attracted to Haesoo cuz he's a great erotic writer and a good looking mo-fo at that... So, this is a huge clusterfck and these 3 guys are 3-Peas in a pod... no pun intended
Like, he's mysterious and quiet but when he talks, it's straight to the point no BS. After the character sketch and author interview, about how he likes sweets, it's clear that he's someone who doesn't give AF, he's like an honest kid.. he also seems like he doesn't like Joowon? So I thought, maybe his attraction to Haesoo was 'Romantic'... But then seeing as he's a professional photographer who's obssessed with Sensuality.. maybe it's just for the sake of his art?
.
.
You know when Taku and Haesu were in bed and he was asking Haesu if he can just drop the honorific and just call him Haesu..
Maybe I'm deluded but did he want to be on equal playing grounds as Joowon somehow? Like, being same level with Haesoo? Haesoo did point out that "you're younger than me." Haha. So yeah..
BUT, having said that.. is he only interested in Haesu because he wanted to photograph him? In addition to Haesu's looks, his sensual writing was what made Taku more interested in him. I don't want to be fooled by Taku's innocent-nonchalant face but the guy made porn tape before which means he's a horny mf too.. haha so.. he just wants to be used by Haesoo so he can use Haesoo?
I'm rooting for all 3 of them btw.
honestly i agree with what you're saying, i cant really tell if he actually likes haesoo or if he just talks with him because he likes his work, but honestly he does seem interested in him at the same time, i mean they slept together isnt that something? and he also does seem jealous of joowon, like when he said "u can use me" maybe he said this so he can get closer to him. but speaking on the matter of trying to get close to haesoo because of his work and how well known he is, remember when he told him about his porn video, i wanna know why he told him, and he even asked if he watched it so maybe he did this to get haesoo to pay more attention to him and maybe even let him photograph him since he said that before, and has even offered it ( im pretty sure he did at least lol) also he only told haesoo and normally he doesnt even let people interview him so maybe that had a bigger meaning idk. also as a side note. im really curious about haesoos mom and her opnion on him being gay, remember when she called him disgusting (not to his face, she said it to a picture of them) or maybe its because he was messing around with joowon. ahh idk im so curious about so many things. have a nice day :) ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Same thought, we're thinking in a romantic perspective, but maybe Taku's pov is just plain business and luring Haesoo into posing for his shoot... maybe I'm thinking too deeply, but all of that can be attributed to Taku being an artist, being interested in anything sensual (like he said in chapter 5) it doesn't have to be deep, but just sensual because it inspires his art. And we saw that like Haesu, Taku doesn't seem to put importance in sex partners. Leo is a different topic since the dude is surprisingly a Top... but example **spoiler** that latest chapter where Taku seemed frustrated that he ate a whole lolli in a second.. it may be because his plan of seducing Haesoo and making him agree to pose for him didn't work and Haesoo left without a word regarding that project.. like that? I can't wait.. but yeah. Thinking back, Taku is a nice person but at the same time an obsessive and eccentric artist. Idk. Only Jiwon seems like the more predictable manhwa character here.
**Juwon I mean. xoxo
this makes sense, send I've read the raws I saw how he reacted when haesoo left without saying much about the topic. I'm very curious on why haesoo slept with him though? He doesnt have to write the article about taekyung but maybe he is doing it because he is having a writer's block and it's just like another job to him. I love taekyung I lot but I cant help but think what's the point of them sleeping together if it doesnt really benefit them at all? OH. ANOTHER THING I DIDNT MENTION BEFORE. why did haesoo tell joowon that he had a boyfriend (bf meaning taekyung) it looked like joowon got jealous and that's why he came in him or just got irritated in the first place. I cant wait for joowon and taekyung to meet and have conversation. I feel like it's going to be heavy and hilarious. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Ok, first I think Haesoo slept with taekyung for the same reason he slept with the other guys before.. just for the heck of it.. it feels good and it makes him forget about Joowon.. He thought Taku's just gonna be one of the other guys he can dump. In the latest raw tho... I think after sleeping with Taku, it backfired and he developed some feelings after he remembered Taku saying "I don't need a reason to like you..", like he had flashbacks of his night with Taku and he never had that with his other guys. The question is, what is Taku's intention? And I think this is gonna be clear once then photoshoot isnover and Taku gets what he wants (Haesoo as model) like, if he'll leave Haesoo alone once that's don't or what.?
i dont think he will leave him after he models for him, (which i dont think he will since he isnt a model or he just doesnt want to) but he did think about modeling for him whenever they went for drinks with his coworkers. And people never really confessed to haesoo before so maybe he's new to that? he is probably thinking about why he does. I dont really have any ideas for why taekyung would lie about having feelings for him though, its kind of obvious he isnt lying about that. he gets jealous when people bring up joowon, he even bit into a lollipop because haesoo didnt say anything when he mentioned talking to him without using honorifics. IdEK whaT to THink ANyMORe.
Also!! Wtf he just basically told Haesoo don't answer Joowon's call and then he just... his face looked so fuckin innocent in the latest chapter-ch30 Lol. Slick.
