Haha I wonder if the author is saving up some sort of great moment to finally show us Seungho with his hair down? He’s already so hot the way he is, when he actually lets his long hair down I’ll pass out.
As always, my thanks to the uploader!
From what I know...usually from watching Historical Korean Dramas, those with high authority or of a high rank or some high ranked official wouldn't put down their hair and will always have their sangtugwan on them most of the time to keep their hair in place. They would only usually undo them when with their lover or wife whatsoever. Or family? Idek lol
I am not sure if this is accurate even lol just what I can infer lol
I hope he would reveal it to Na-Kyum in the enar future...he would look super hot with his hair down lol
Really?! That’s awesome haha, hope the author will show us he with his hair down together with Nakyum then, when they get closer <3
Tamo-chin, you’re the best!!! Thank you so much for the upload !! <3
Thanks
Thank you so much, dear person who uploaded this last chapter <3 You’re the best!!!!
Uploader, thanks for taking your time to post this for all of us but PLEASE can you not do this vegetable censorship thing ever again? And try to take better screenshots? These last two chapters were terribly confusing, and
I never saw this kind of emoji censoring in other manwhas like Love or Hate that also have lots of erotic scenes. Can you please treat this series better? And the fans too?
This is the first fair, correct, and coherent comment that i see toward this mess. Thank you (￣∇￣")
Hahaha thanks <3

I just realized that the same noble dude from chapter 33, the one who was smoking outside and kinda looks like Jihya, is the same noble from chapter 8 — aka the foursome chapter when Seungho throws one of the participants of the orgy out for complaining about how much Seungho keeps paying attention to Nakyum. By the way, the guy he threw out even complained to Jihya later.
But the point is that the Jihya-look-a-like has already seen how Seungho treats Nakyum unconventionally and gets overprotective over stuff revolving around him, since he even sent out one of the nobles in the foursome that annoyed him because of the painter.
I guess his suspicions about Seungho’s feelings about Nakyum have only risen or been confirmed when he sees Seungho annoyed and leaving the orgy on chapter 33 at the mention of Nakyum.
I wonder if he’ll do something like gossip to other nobles and maybe even tell Jihya.
So.... Possible theories for what’s next, everyone?
I don’t think Seungho’s going back to screwing other people soon. He’s too engrossed in Nakyum right now, but I don’t see how our painter boy can keep surviving this?
I mean on chapter 32 — SPOILERS if you haven’t seen the raw — Seungho literally screwed Nakyum the whole day, by the end of it Nakyum looks half dead. I hope he’ll get some rest the next days, but I have no idea where’s this story going. Nakyum keeps being harassed and painting and... and what? Painting his and Seungho’s sex by the day and having more sex by the night? Seungho realizing he cares about him? Nakyum catching feels Yaoi logic style?
I’m hoping for some new twists and that the power balance shifts soon. Oh, I’m eager to see Seungho suffer.
By the way, I stand by what I said before, I still think Nakyum may attempt suicide in the future, which may be a turning point for Seungho’s character development, maybe.
Oh god.....he definitely might do that. Oh fuck.
Honestly I think that's spot on, but I hope Seungho doesn't get him even if he has a change of heart.
The "Nakyum catching feels Yaoi logic style" fucking sent me jnkcjbdksjd XD
Catchin dem good ol yaoi feels
(づ￣ ³￣)づ
I do hope the story will not turn as a cliché yaoi. We really need some interesting plot twists because at this point It becomes really painful to read, and right now all I want it's to cut the Lord's d*.
Maybe he'll attempt to his life yes. I don't know how the Lord could change otherwise.
actually i guess NK will run away and seungho will be screwed up i cant get to believe that NK will catch feelings for him but seungho may do it may be one sided , then he'll look for him treat him better and compensate him for the past , no thanks ima head out right now (︶︿︶)＝凸
Just remembered another thing!!!
When Nakyum gets back from that attempted escape and Seungho pulls him along on chapter 31, his bag-like-thing of painting falls to the ground... and Inhun is just standing there. Inhun is so gonna see the paintings and try to do something to harm Seungho with it.
I'm so curious about Nakyun's and Seungho's age.... Especially since Seungho calls Nakyun "boy" this chapter. I also wonder how old the learned sir is, but I guess it must be about the same as Master Yoon.
Me too
I'll just never understand Take. I mean, how can he ever be happy in a relationship like this, in which hell never be loved equally by Mine, with Hiroi always being Mine's priority? By the end I think things got better but... IDK. I mean, let's say for some reason Hiroi decided to break up with Mine. I'm pretty sure everything between Mine and Take would be over then, since everything they have seem to be based on Hiroi's existence.
Now, if Hiroi told Mine he doesn't want to share him with Take anymore, I can see Mine being okay with it. I mean, he'd maybe be upset for a while, but he'd never leave Hiroi over Take. I just feel like Take will always be the more neglected emotionally in the relationship they have, that's one of the reasons this manga -- through beautifully written -- could neve really appeal to me.
This is one of my faves and I've read it like 10 times. I
As much as I would rather see Take x Mine as the focus since their physical chemistry and sexual tension is better, if Hiroi were to be removed, there would be no Take x Mine. They're definitely not a stand alone. Totally agree!
Spoilers
I do wonder what Seungho said in one of the last panels of chapter 26, with the crazed look while holding that sword.
I can see it going both ways, the sword is meant as a threat to Inhun and Nakyum will have to beg Seungho for him not to be killed, high chance Seungho makes Nakyum enter a sexual relationship with him for that. The threat of Seungho killing Inhun would prevent Nakyum from trying to run away, commit suicide or rebelling in any way.
Other chance is that he’s threatening Nakyum for rejecting him for saying something like he “hates him to death”, and it’ll be a chance for Nakyum to make it even more clear that he really was serious in his refusal of Seungho even if he threatens him.
I do wonder if, from now on, Seungho will only sleep with (rape) Nakyum making him paint them afterwards? Or will he continue sleeping with other people while Nakyum paints and keeps being reminded of everything that happened?
Last observation (I can’t seem to stop I’m sorry for this lengthy comment ) is that in their fist time, Seungho kissed Nakyum’s tears away in a very kind and pampering way. You could even say it was a very romantic scene, if you put away the horrifying context that Nakyum thought he was with someone else. As in, I really do not think Seungho treats his other conquests with such care.
In chapter 26 he tries to repeat a similar motion trying to wipe Nakyum’s tears away kindly, but Nakyum immediately pushes him away. You could see that really shocked (possibly even hurt) Seungho. It seems that his instinct seems to be to treat Nakyum kindly, but when facing rejection he lashes out. I’m not defending Seungho by any means, everything he did was unforgivable, but it’s interesting to me that he doesn’t seem to draw pleasure for being mean to Nakyum. He did not seem to enjoy raping him at all (very very differently from other rapist Semes, let’s take Sangwoo from KS as an example). He also stopped the brutal beating punishment in previous chapters.
You could plainly see Seungho’s frustration when he saw Nakyum wasn’t getting excited at all like last time. It’s like despite violently raping him he expected Nakyum would somehow enjoy it, like he WANTS him to enjoy it, to desire “him” like last time.
I think Seungho wants to be lovingly accepted by Nakyum while having sex again. He doesn’t want the crazy wild sex he has with everyone else, or to rape Nakyum, but wants to experience the feeling of being deeply, purely loved and desired while embracing someone, with Nakyum thinking of only him an no one else this time.
Great analysis!
I agree with a lot of what you said. I think he wants Na-Kyum to love him like that first time. He seems very proud that he's Na-kyum's first. I think he'll want to protect that and make sure he's also Na-Kyum's only.
He hurts Na-Kyum and then feels remorseful afterwards. He seems to dislike hurting him, but at the same time can't stand Na-Kyum rejecting him so resorts to threats, violence, and any means of coercion.
He's like a guy who throws his wife down the stairs in a fit of rage, but afterwards brings her a dozen roses in the hospital and later takes her out to her favorite restaurant. He expects to be forgiven because he really does "love" her.
I imagine he'll get his way with Na-kyum because Yoon has all the leverage. The Painter has very little he can do.
Yoon likely wants to keep the Painter to himself. His work. His body. Everything. He feels the Painter should be honored as a low-born that someone like Yoon has taken an interest in him.
I think the shady teacher will contact the redhead to team up against Yoon.
I like @Cookies analysis, and your comment SeekingSanity as an addition to it, both excellent.
I was wondering about two things, and was curious what you think. First one is about the recent forced sex, secon about Nakyum's reactions towards Seungho before they slept together.
1. It seems to me that Yoon stopped as soon as he noticed Nakyum is not excited and is hurting for real. Do you see it that way too, or am I seeing things? When he lifts the painter up, Nakyum is in pain judging by his reaction, maybe Yoon is still inside. But as soon as he's up they don't move anymore (there are usually sounds and those dynamic lines to indicate the action), they seem to be still. Right after he lifts him up, Seungho says "hush" yet again (he did last time they had sex), then proceeds to look at painter's slumpped body to find out Nakyum isn't hard at all...
The fact that he possibly stopped right then could explain why there were no fluids on Nakyum and around when he was found, like people pointed out. Possibly because sex didn't last long and Yoon didn't finish. What do you think?
This is to understand the action better, not to say "oh, he stopped, so it's not that bad".
2. We've established that Nakyum has no feelings and interest in Seungho whatsoever. But I'm wondering about this though, didn'r he really? The parts that are keeping me unsure and confused are the following:
- he dreamt about being with Yoon, though I understand it could've been a nightmare. He also might've been surprised by his own dream and the reason why in the world was he dreaming that?
- when he paints the sex scene in chapter 15, he debates in his mind why is Seungho looking in his direction. He closes his eyes and thinks:
"Don't delude yourself... he's looking at the painting... not at me... " and the next scenes show his lower part and that he's hard, and that he imagines Yoon's right next to him.
"No, he's not looking at me while he's doing it... Sir InHun..." and the scene cuts to face of In Hun.
Again, confused here. It could be that he's afraid of Seungho and fears being looked at, instead of paintings. But why would the author show us him being hard and aroused then?
- when Yoon questions him later which moment aroused him the most, what made his blood run so hot that it became difficult to bear, Nakyum thinks of the scene from his dream, where he was having sex with Yoon. Next scene shows that Nakyum's eyes are hidden, he breaths heavily and blushes. And he's hard.
Now. All of that makes me confused, and I think it might be that Nakyum is himself confused. He clearly gets turned on by watching men have sex, we know that from the time he masturbated. Maybe he's confusing the feeling of excitement in general with that of seeing Seungho. I don't know. Because at the same time, during their interaction in the day he is cleary afraid of Seungho, and doesn't show any interest in him as a person.
Hope this all makes sense, English is not my first language!
Sorry guys for killer, lengthy comment. Needed to get this out :)) Let me know your thoughts!

I think attraction can be complicated. We can be attracted to people that are no good for us. Na Kyum definitely has some attraction to Yoon despite himself. That doesn't mean he loves him, but there is a chemistry between them that can't be denied.
Yoon, the sex fiend, sensed their sexual chemistry the quickest because he's very experienced. The Painter knows his body might be drawn, but his heart is with the teacher. So I think everything in the future will be hard and confusing for the Painter.
I agree with a lot of things you said. I also wonder is Yoon will monopolize NK to the point of sleeping with him (raping) and having NK paint those scenes from now on. That would be something...

I feel like the Painter is the first person that Yoon's been really attracted to. I'm not sure Yoon was that attracted to the nobles he was sleeping with, even though they were good looking. There is just a very limited pool of people into sodomy in his area. It's been mentioned he had a lot of trouble getting it up with them. They were definitely attracted to him and he wanted sex so he made do.
I think he's strongly attracted to the Painter. He has no problem getting hard with the Painter like he did the nobles. He will surely monopolize the hell out of NK. Once you've slept with someone you're attracted to, once you know what that's like it's really hard to go back to the way things were. I have a feeling Yoon will find it even harder to be aroused by the other nobles anymore.
Poor Painter isn't gonna get a lot of sleep at night...
Wow, didn't expect to receive answers! Thank you SeekingSanity (I somehow really identify with your username haha) and webtoonaddict, I really liked your observations! I love discussing about mangas, and I think this one gives us great opportunities to speculate a lot haha.
SeekingSanity I agree with everything you said, I hadn't contemplated that Seungho would feel proud about being Nakyum's first, but now that you said that I can definitely see that being the case. He's really possessive, I absolutely agree that he wants everything abou Nakyum, work, body, heart, everything!
webtoonaddict (your icon is sooo cute, Nakyum at his fluffiest haha), you proposed a really nice discussion! Really interesting points you raised there -- and don't worry about language, English also isn't my first one xD and you write really well :3
1. Wow, I hadn’t noticed when I read it what you pointed out at all! Now that you’ve said it I can see that maybe Seungho didn’t get to finish it. He didn’t seem to be into it at all, he noticed Nakyum’s obvious discomfort (his speech bubble literally goes “…!” witch is hilariously depressing because, how can this dude rape someone and be surprised at him being hurt?? Or maybe he was just surprised by something Nakyum said), and well, from that panel on its only expressions of anger/frustration by the situation on Seungho’s face. Maybe he didn’t finish, but regardless, it indeed doesn’t make it less rape… It’d be a change in rape tropes though: It usually goes with seme finishing it and the uke too, and the seme going like “see your body is honest hohoho clean it up bitch” or some trash along these lines.
2. It's nice to contemplate more about Nakyum's feelings, I tend to focus more on trying to dissect Seungho's ‘cause he makes me so curious haha.
I think Nakyum might have been sexually attracted to Seungho. In present this attraction has probably shattered by all that's happened. I believe (at least reeeally hope) that the author is gonna be more realistic in this, not giving us any "ohhh no he VIOLATed me but I can't STOp thinking about the sex it felt kinda good kyaa" bullshit we've all seen before.
So back to the past and the fact Nakyum literally watched Seungho having sex right there in front of him multiple times: Nakyum does feel kinda attracted, but nothing in the magnitude he feels for Inhun. As in, if Nakyum saw Inhun naked like he did with Seungho multiple times, I really feel like he'd pass out and have a boner for like three days straight haha. He is mildly attracted to Seungho by all the sex he saw, but I don't think it's something nearly as strong at what Seungho might feel. I don’t think Nakyum would even see Yoon in a remotely sexual light if it wasn’t for the fact he was forced to watch him have sex.
His attraction to Yoon is in a more subconscious level, different from Seungho that just seem to quickly acknowledge it and act on it. The dream scene back in chapter 6 though… That one definitely seemed more like a nightmare. Though there might be attraction, there’s undeniable great fear.
The scene in which Nakyum's gets hard, to me it seems it's mostly because of the situation (two men screwing) than the possibility of Seungho looking at him, though that might have helped his excitement. Nakyum thinking of Inhun right after contemplating Yoon looking at him seems to be an act of trying to ground himself back to the reality he's familiar with, only being attracted to his love Inhun.
Nakyum is definitely afraid of Seungho, it's a mix of fear and attraction. After chapter 26 though... Guess only fear, anger and disgust.
Also just complementing my earlier comment on Seungho having an especial kindness, though of course twisted, towards Nakyum: just remembered in chapter 2 (yeah that earlier) he sees Nakyum sleeping with tears in his eyes and just… pats him. Pats him gently on the head, showing a face that seems worried or… at least a Seungho version of it. ONLY THEN, he sees the painting he was so obsessed about. That means he entered the room and focused so much on sleeping cutie on the ground he didn’t notice the GIANT PAINTING he wanted so much literally behind Nakyum. From then on we see so much, like he stopping the beating while seeing Nakyum tearful and pained face (he does apparently have capacity for mercy. Not good or frequent enough but it’s there), asked for soup to cure his hangover and more that I don’t remember.
I believe Seungho really started catching feelings early in the story and it is still in progress, he just doesn’t notice the romantic aspect of it, only the sexual.
Oh, of course, Seungho did a lot of bad shit too, I’m not saying otherwise. My point is just that he already has romantic inclinations towards Nakyum, not only sexual.
grimmjowlover just saw your reply! Oh my God, that'd be just the worst possibility I can think of, raping him and making him paint that... But hopefully the author takes things a different way, she/he does seem to surprise us!
I'm really hoping the author doesn't put NK through that they are so full of surprises
Yes yes all the yes
First of all, who the heck just casually asks someone they never really talked to, in a workplace no less, to go to an orgy just like that? And the protagonist just dumbly agrees to it, gets there and sulks in a corner... Like what did you think was going to happen dude? You sure this is the solution you want to your supposedly boring life?
Also, *****spoilers**** for the next chapter, the protagonist keeps annoying me. He keeps acting ohh so shy and oh soo shocked by the raunchy places the other dude takes him when he LITERALLY knew him in an ORGY.
By the way, he went from "I'm not gay" from letting a dude fuck him (not even one the one he went to meet with in the cafe) in literally one chapter.
Man, what a spineless protagonist... Hate how fast and easily he's influenced and change his mind.
Not trying to attack anyone who loved this story though! Just venting out my honest opinion over here haha
