"everyone has to sacrifice something for happiness" :/// i wish ian could learn to treasure himself and realize that staying with raymond how everything is right now is not happiness. hes miserable. he can't paint, he's been shunned out by everyone, he can't meet with his friends, and now nicholas is gone. staying with raymond will just make his life worse. the sacrifice he needs to make isnt painting but raymond. he needs to let go of raymond if he wants to be happy, no matter how much it hurts. if raymond loves him and it's meant to be, they'll meet again, this time not in darkness, but in light.
also im kinda disappointed in nicholas :// i get being envious and upset but saying hes jealous of ian's past is so gross and dismissive of the trauma ian's been through. it romanticizes everything ian went through because "oh, well at least you're a good painter now!" but ian hasn't even come to terms with his past and its just so weird to say something like that. i hope nicholas will apologize because i really like him and hes like... the only person ian can really rely on right now. god. this is making me so upset because ian really has no one to rely on now. hes alone again
i pretty sure for love you have to sacrifice things ian and Mr.raymond will have an happy ending
i get that jasper's stressed but aaagh that is not the way to talk to somebody who is suicidal :// i just want them to talkkk pls if this ends badly, i am going to cry sm can they pls just be happy
why are so many people saying theyre dating yun when shes literally laying next to me rn ??
what i want: jooin realizes his self worth and cuts yawhi out of his life; jooin takes some time to be alone so he can appreciate himself some more, during this time, he and cain get closer; cain explains himself and its not creepy (i think if they knew each other in a past life but only cain remembers could be cool, or maybe cain spent some time in korea when he was younger and met jooin? idk, just something not creepy,,,); eventually they start dating and its a cute, healthy, wholesome relationship (would also be content if jooin ended up with neither tbh and the story was about jooin realizing his self worth but this is a romance and cain is better than a rapist so)
i know this is unlikely to happen though cuz the story rn is really falling into cliche tropes and im slowly losing hope for it... what will probably happen is the author makes cain be really, really creepy and he'll put jooin in danger so yahwi can swoop in and save him. that way yahwi will seem like a good guy despite him being really shitty and toxic and then the story will seem like a happy ending even though jooin's in a bad relationship...
so hes a predator and hes abusive... im so glad present min is standing up to him, i just hope he continues to and doesnt fall back into his lies, but its very easy to fall back into an abusive relationship so i guess we just have to see ://
my biggest gripe with raymond rn is how he treats ian. he always puts his own feelings and wants before ians and its like he doesnt even respect ian as his own person. like the fact that he was happy that the rumors caused ian to step out of the exibition even though ian has been working really hard for it and was really excited. he never rlly cares about ian's own feelings unless they affect him and it just feels icky. but i rlly do want raymond to change and become better bc i dont want him to turn into another rothsildt (i have a lotta thoughts about the social system and hierarchy in this story and how its affected raymond but i will save that essay for another time lmao). all in all, i just dont want ian to be hurt but i know thats inevitable ://
i cant believe its over already :(( this manga never failed at making smile, seeing an update always made me so happy !! thank you so much translator for letting us experience this great story and for all the jokes !! it was so fun reading this, im gonna miss these characters :(((
