this story keeps getting better and better. in any other cliche story, river would have gotten together with khaol despite the abuse he's been through and it would have been painted in a positive light. i'm so glad that that's not the case (i hope this doesn't age like milk lol) and that he gets to experience a wholesome, healthy love with heil. usually heil is the second lead that we all wish he would have ended up with, but i'm glad river is going to end up with the right choice. i'm pretty confident they'll be end game but i'm still a little nervous lol i've been on the river×heil train since heil was introduced so here's to hoping the author doesn't break my heart

ryeojoon has every right to be upset after going through all that, especially since what hamin said came off as victim blaming. what was he supposed to do in that situation? that bastard pedophile is super powerful in the industry, thats how he's been able to get away with it for so long. but also i understand where hamin is coming from. what would have happened if sunha hadn't shown up? if ryeojoon was alone with that pedophile? hamin really cares about ryeojoon, and after being that worried that something might happen to him, he was angry and didn't have time to filter his words and think about the bigger picture. all he cared about was that ryeojoon was safe and that he wouldn't be in danger again. what hamin said hurts, but it's also understandable. i just hope that hamin is able to realize his mistake and apologizes and comforts ryeojoon because right now, ryeojoon really needs support.

the universe must really hate him he had the best day of his life because he found out someone reads his dad's books and he got to see his dad happy... then the next day he found out aoi was kidnapped and his dad got in a fucking coma. then five years later he had the best day in his life because his dad was in stable condition and he started dating aoi... THEN THE NEXT DAY HIS FUCKING DAD DIES AND AOI GETS STABBED mans can't catch a break (i feel so bad cuz i legitimately laughed for a good couple minutes when i realized this midway into the story )

i really love how they reassured sunha that she wasnt at fault for anything that happened and made sure she was okay. sadly, a lot of victims blame themselves because they think they shouldve known better or shouldve done better. its never the victims fault and i just really appreciate that the author is putting a lot of care into this storyline.
i just?? don't understand?? i get that kunihiko said he'd stop coming around because he felt bad about haru not understanding his feelings... but it's not like he tried to tell haru?? like sure, he asked him out and said some stuff, but seeing as he's a "playboy" and was dating someone at the time, obviously haru would take it as a joke. i'm mainly just annoyed like?? if you're gonna avoid him why not just tell him how you feel? most characters are afraid of losing their relationship so they don't confess but it looks like kunihiko is just trying to distance himself from haru. i just don't understand why he's gonna stop talking to haru and not confess when all haru's done is be oblivious. idk how to explain myself but i just don't understand why kunihiko is moping when he hasn't even tried properly confessing. also haru is so obvious how do you not know he likes you all in all, kunihiko does not deserve haru, i said what i said
