I think the seme intentionally dropped the blocker so the uke would give it back to him.
Judging from the dialogue it really didn't seem like the seme knew the uke was a recessive omega. I don't know if the author is going to go the whole 'fated mate' match route, but at the very least I think because the seme was a dominant alpha, he could've probably sense the ukes recessive genes and was extra attracted to him cause of that as well.
He's not an underhanded person.
who? the seme? the guy who subtly threaten to take the kid away from the uke? and for what purpose than to keep the uke by his side? XD
He never wanted Uke as a mate definitely here for Kiddo.
He didn't actually...he only said that....it's about time he has kids so he went to look for his mate... Finds out it's Noah. Sees the kid, says he looks about the right age. Got DNA testing to confirm. If he HAD really wanted the kid (to himself) he would have done it already.... No need to involve himself in Noah's life.
Well yeah, neither of them were looking to mate and have a kid together. When the uke ran away he could've left it at that and moved on with his life. He even said the uke made his life easier by ghosting him and not making him take responsibility. But nope he couldn't leave it alone and was searching for him for five years.
The kid is a bonus and convenient tool to keep the uke tied to him. Not saying the seme is in love with the uke atm or doesn't realize it yet at least, but he's not letting him go either.
Seme said uke made it convenient for him for 'heat' purposes. Marked people can only go in heat in front of their partners. So we could say both never got into heat in these 4 years. Making Alpha's life breezy.
And yes Ian doesn't love Noah . He's Here mostly for kid and the marked person. Not for Noah.
Maybe he tried after uke left him to move on with life , to find someone else , in that process he came to know he can't make them pregnant so here we go.
He didn't say 'it's about time he has kids?' He never forgot about the uke and put two-and-two together and wonder if he knocked him up too. I think it was pretty well hinted that he found out the uke was the one he probably marked during his search for him. He just wasn't able to confirm it until he met him again and did the tangle and with the dna test to solidify everything. He is using an underhanded tactic in that he's dangling the kid to keep the uke by his side.
I'm saying he didn't drop the inhibitor on purpose. That is all. At the time they mated, he wasn't ready for a kid. Actually, he wasn't ready for anything serious, even, let alone a mate-bond. If Noah had decided not to tell him then....he also doesn't have the responsibility to come after him. Since he didn't come after Noah (not right away) he COULDN'T have known that they had a child together and that Noah had decided to keep the baby (keep the pregnancy and raised him). The baby accosting was mostly by pure coincidence, or he found out after searching for Noah.
The child was a product of an accident. It was not planned.
That's ... Because Noah is his mate though. IF he wants to have kids he has to do it with his mate. Unless he can dissolve the mate bond. Saying he wants to keep Noah by his side is ridiculous.
It works out in many ways since he already now has a kid and they don't EVEN HAVE to do the horizontal tango. But I'm sure he wants his mate. Even if he didn't wanted Noah. They're stuck together whether they like it or not.
Besides, Noah had kept him by his side for 4+ years so it's high time he gets to have a second dad. Also, the baby is sick so he would need more help. Who better to help than a wealthy alpha?!? That will relieve the burden Noah had to face alone, reducing his overworking, and better provide for their child as well. If the genetic disorder came from his side, then he can provide info on the family health history to help take care of the child.
I can't say your assumptions are wrong but going by the story, the seme was always interested in the uke. He was the one that instigated everything in their relationship to begin with. Remember the uke wasn't just some one night stand, the seme obviously made it to where they were friends turned lovers*(fwb). After they stopped talking in college, I believe the seme dropped the blocker as one last resort to reconnect. As they wouldn't see each other again after uni.
Cue the accidental mating and knock up and everything is kinda just falling in place for the seme. You don't think his interest piqued more when he found out the uke was probably his mate? Like you said, mating made his life easier. BUT he does not need his mate. He can still roll in the hay with others satisfactorily. He has an heir apparent. His mate doesn't even want him, which makes it all the more better. But because the uke is Noah, he's more than interested. He's definitely not going to settle for just coparenting.
Oh yeah. For sure. He's already flirting with him too. Well, yes. He had ALWAYS been interested in Noah. But at the time they left off there FWB relationship, it seemed he had cut it off. And of he has feelings for Noah same as before, but now is ready to settle down, it works out better since they have to be stuck together anyways.
Imagine if he DIDN'T like Noah, or RESENTED him and MAKE HIS LIFE hell!!! There are cases like that. (Even without children or bindings involved.)
I didn't say the child or the mating was planned thought. Just that the dropping of the blocker was on purpose just because the seme did not want their connection to end.
I know but I'm 100% sure it's an accident.
If he doesn't want the connection to end he could still keep in touch via phone. Why resort to such lowly method?!? Like, come have sex w me one last time cuz you're leaving?!?! THAT would be Noah's thinking, not Ian's.
Maybe your inhibitor dropping assumption Correct too . But Seme is bound to return to uke . Even if he roll in bed with 500 Omegas, 250 betas , or 10 alphas. He's kind of Bound to come back to him.
Noah and that sloth kid became his family.
Noah a non consensual mate .
Kid an unwanted Entity.
Dude has to accept them otherwise he'll be a Millionaire Billionaire with no existence no peace of mind.
I also think IRL logic won't work here coz abo is driven by animal instincts.
One more thing , that sloth kid disease needs tons of money , or his disease would get probably cured by his daddy's pheromones. One of them . Noah would 'reluctantly' agree with Ian for his only family. This bullshit is going in that direction I'm telling you .
You'll come to acknowledge my comment after few chapters →_→
Yes now he has a kid. He has an heir. He did not say he wanted any more kids. He did not state he wanted his mate at all either. He was even appreciative at first knowing that his mate* ran away from him freeing him of all the obligations that comes with the bond. They do not have to be stuck together. It's canon in this story that they can live far apart from each other and live their own lives without any ill affects. The uke has no strong backing, the seme can literally take the kid and go. BUT his mate being the uke changes things for the seme.
I know how abo works. I also know authors like to tweak how abo works in their own stories. and sure lets bookmark this and come back to see who's closest!!! lololol.
He hinted at possibly having more kids. But as for who his mate is and how that could've affected the outcome of the relationship depends on the story. Plenty of straight romances have a drugged up male lead and female lead doing the horizontal tango and found out later the female is preggo. But yet they're strangers. Plenty of those in those run-of-the-mill manhuas, Chinese dramas and K-dramas and they get together. Though whether it's thru trials and tribulations or not depends on the writer.
He did not hint about wanting more kids. Listen, my theory is purely based on what's written in this story so far, what was said, it's action and the abo world view that the author has created around it. Not any other stories.
Nvm. It's ok you're not seeing what I'm saying.
He gave a whole ass lecture during their reunion sex about how alphas and omegas work. So he's definitely hinting at having more kids. Whether they do or not I don't know. But it's possible.
And yes, they can live apart, but if Ian wants more kids they'd have to mate.
Well how I interpreted that scene was a little different. I took it as the author just establishing how the uke got knocked up so fast with some abo history lesson through the Seme's view point. He was pointing out how cruel it is and helpless they were against their abo instincts.
As remember he definitely did NOT plan to mate and inpregnant the uke. But because he was in his rut he lost control of his consciousness. He was just teasing the uke. I don't think he has any intentions of having any other kids. At least not at this point in the story.
Yeah. I saw that as well. But I had a feeling it was gonna lead to another kid. He wants to be part of his kid's life at least. And Noah as well if he wants more kids. If not then they can just amicably co-parent. Also, Ian would now have to live in Korea but he would have to adapt since he was raised abroad.
I can only see him trying to impregnant Noah intentionally to tie him down more, or after they get their happily ever after. He wants Noah. He's not letting him go. He wanted him when he was a beta and even bettter that he's his omega now. He's just in his seme ignorant phase like much of other bl plots. They were pretty much together in college but Ian just didn't want to admit to commit. I'm telling ya, the dropping of the inhibitor was intentional! We're gonna get flashbacks of the semes viewpoint down the line! Mark my words! XD And if I'm wrong you can say so once the story ends too lol.
Looni!!! I don't want to be wrong.
He can't be worse than what ppl are already saying about him. !!! (Cuz u know that's just CRUEL). But u know what?!? Even IF he HAD dropped it INTENTIONALLY, if the beta hadn't TURNED....
Once inseop gets d*cked down it's over for him. The seme's possessiveness and obsessiveness over the uke will increase tenfolds. (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
Aside from them being the main couple and the inevitability of it all, I thought the author made it pretty clear how Kim Dan fell for Jaekyung. Jaekyung comes in direct and gives him a job when he was one paycheck away from being homeless. He then saves him from getting r*p*d, gives him housing, feeds him and nurses him back to health. Then proceeds to pay his debt off and his grandma's hospital bills. Jaekyung even plays nice with his grandmother. Not to mention lets Kim Dan keep her wedding furniture in his house. And their physical intimacy has also increased even more so as well. Yes they didn't start off in an ideal circumstance and Jaekyung is an ah but he is Kim Dan's ah, lmfao.
I think the wedding closet is foreshadow for Dan and Jaekyung getting married.
Actually, I can see Jaekyung breaking it (punching it possibly) out of anger, lmfaooo.(●￣(ｴ)￣●) Jaekyung is going to mess up real bad, and I can see it being used as a catalyst for their break before the redemption ark.
The uke is autistic. The seme starts out as a bit of an asshole but he gets better and treats the uke nicely. The novel is pretty short and ties up nicely.
OMG I JUST WROTE I THINK HE HAS MENTAL ISSUES, I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG.
yaasssss!!!
green-eyed jaekyung is unsurprisingly a beast. XD heesung never stood a chance.
You can tell every time they have intercourse, the intimacy between Doc Dan and Jaekyung gets more intense and sweeter. Doc Dan can't separate his emotional and physical feelings, so he's pretty much let jaekyung in and that's why he's enjoying the sex so much more now. Jaekyung feels it too, he's just in denial and confused because I don't think he's ever caught feelings before. XD Love it!!
I can't help but LOL every time, seeing mangakas draw in knockoff versions of brands. Geline = Celine. XD
You can see that the author intentionally drew Heeseung and Potato as the opposite of Jaekyung and Kim Dan. Their intro-interaction with each other was purposeful too. Once Heeseung stops pining after Kim Dan, he's going to definitely get with Potato lol.
In the meanwhile, yessss Heeseung!! Make Jaekyung jealous to the point where he can't deny his feelings for Kim Dan!
Just hope he expresses his jealousy in a not so rapey, manipulative or forcefull way...
qurrl of course he is. XD he's going to get worst before he gets better.
Ik that it's gonna happen that way even if I don't want it to
I'm always a sucker for the in-denial-to realization to lovers trope.
Jaekyung has 100% caught feelings for Kim Dan and the dude is much more in denial than the latter. He's also extremely possessive of him as well. Remember, he's an absolutely discipline and focused guy. However, Kim Dan was just having an innocent chat with YoonGu and that had him breaking away from his workout and snatching Kim Dan so fast away from the poor lil clueless fellow.
He also wouldn't let Kim Dan go on the out of town match with the other guys. Lowkey claimed him by stating Kim Dan lives and cooks for him as well. XD Paid almost all his debts so that Kim Dan really can't leave him too. Also made him live with him when he could've left him to fend for himself, thrown him to a team mate or easily help him with another place to live. The debt arrangement is really just a pitiful excuse at this point.
The new guy is obviously going to be much more of a threat, and it's going to so much fun to see a more upfront green-eyed Jaekyung. Ha!
Completely agree with you. JK got jealous so many times already. Was it ep 4 or 5, he was waiting for Dan’s response, he was soooooo irritated. Looking at phone all day. Calling him million times, asking manager million times. After that, there are so many signs of affection? At least possessive attitude. Always reasoning was “ make my life easy” but ….no…. We can see something else in you.
Not sure JK treat Dan better because of Choi, but something about to happen…
yes its true hes been jealous before out of interest and possession but this time it'll be a different type of jealous - one that makes him question why he is that way instead of just reacting without putting any type of feelings to it other than horny
Hmmm, gonna be interesting how he react to the emotion. I don’t think he is the type of person who turns into nice guy suddenly. As author says, it will be long way. I like the idea though.
Oh right he did! Haha. If you go back to the beginning too, Kim Dan caught JK's attention right off the bat. And then when they first slept together, that was it for him. It had been a gradual fall for JK since then and it's been hilarious to watch how in-denial he's been through it all.
And I do not think JK will be treating Kim Dan any better with the new guy around. As with a lot of these BL plot tropes, the new guy will just play a huge part in pivoting their relationship is all. JK's going to probably be more of an asshole because he does not know how to navigate these unfamiliar feelings he has for Kim Dan. It's been implied since the beginning that he is not a relationship guy as well. He likes a good lay and that's it. It'll take some trial and error before he admits and realizes his feelings for Kim Dan are quite serious. Kim Dan will continue to suffer, JK will suffer but it'll be a good ride to that sweet happy ending nonetheless. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Sounds doooooooood!! I too think it is funny when JK just denies his “kind act”. Like it is For Your Grandma, not You! Haha. Why you should be kind to his grandma, anyway? Still interested what he talked to grandma, it is not revealed yet. I think in the future we will see, but I am hoping not in sad way…
I appreciate that the author didn't spin this story to where the uke ends up with the new third party.
Anyways, the little brother didn't know it, but he was the push that his hyung and bf needed to clear up any misunderstandings. Also the little brother was never going to win. It was evident that the established couple only had eyes for each other. They were TOO obsessed with each other and that ironically caused the bulk of their relationship insecurity. I do not blame the uke's bf for outing the little brother either. Somebody was after his man after all, and having close access to him no less. In a way, it was all for the greater good. Who knows what would've happened if it didn't come to light and the little brother continued to pine after the uke for who knows how long? In conclusion, solid story overall. My only complaint is the lack of side stories.
This is based on a novel.
And unless the mangaka really goes against the original story (which doesn't seem like she will), the reality is (and it being evidently obvious in the story so far), the uke will never see the second lead romantically.
I don't think they see each other again or maybe briefly after he helps the uke run away and the uke comes back to the kingdom.
The uke and emperor will eventually live happily ever after.
Can't say the same for the uke's sister and father though at least.
