I finally finished it! This was surprisingly introspective in a way that I enjoyed. I think I'm like the only person in the comments section that has a positive opinion of the story...ha
I appreciate how Jooin actually called out the convenient way Yahwi told him his sad backstory when he needed his attention. I hate when romantic leads live their lives for the main character, so Jooin telling Cain to be happy and live for himself was the perfect end to their relationship. But I really wish Yahwi learned to stop thinking about Jooin in all the years they were apart. He was so obsessed. I wish the author created a scene to show us how he properly learned to love someone (like have a better relationship with his family, maybe be in another relationship where he treats the other person kindly). Without such a scene, the ending feels unearned. Honestly, I'd rather Jooin not be with either of them, but I feel like the Yaoi genre would never allow that.
And yes, agreeing with all the other commentators, I really felt like the story just draaaagged on around chapt 75 or so.
Well... should have listened to commenters.
I simply don't understand the direction this turned. I thought they had an interesting dynamic. I thought the writing was good. Perhaps the fact that Albert would literally order Michael to love him was in fact where the story was heading. But forcing him to have sex in front of Heide really happened out of no where. What's more is the fact that this is framed as Michael's fault for not being honest with his feelings; that HE made this inevitable. Yeah, I can like a good sex scene, I can enjoy psychological twisted stories, but this framing... kinda horrifies me.
I'm so glad someone is uploading this. I really wanted to know how their situation will turn out, it seems so hopeless for everyone. The sex scenes do nothing for me- it's all too sad. I hope I still remember the plot when the next volumes come out; I don't want to re-read the messed up parts again.(￣∇￣")
I kept thinking I knew what this story was going to be about but nope, there were layers and layers to the creepiness. It's not an uninteresting story, but the author could have used more time showing how Makoto psychologically manipulated Kei to be dependent on him. It appeared to just be about sex which I don't think is enough of an explanation. With all the horrific abuse that happened in the story, the fact that Makoto sort of 'turned' him gay is somehow the most egregious thing to me.... Art is nice though.
I already know there is no point in me commenting and people will not like this but.. Judging by the comments about Hyunjin here... I know people on this site are young but I really hope that they know this was not a depiction of a happy relationship! Manipulating your partner and purposefully ruining their relationships with others and all the possessiveness is not acceptable even if they apologize, like that's not normal. I don't think the author intended for us to actually want him to end up with Hyunjin, it's very clear that Jungyeon is not okay at the end. Well, I guess like Jungyeon, hopefully people will figure out that this is not an okay relationship in the end... ...Anyway, I think this author is very good at writing this type of dramatic story and it was a good read, even though the ending was so heavy handed.

I agree. I actually wanted him to end up with Sunwoo. I didn’t like Hyunjin from the start because he kept a part of himself closed off even when he knew that Jungyeon loved him. And then he was so possessive and manipulative in order to keep him like some kind of pet.
The circumstances remind me of A Cruel God Reigns, a manga where terrrrrible things happen to the main character. Are we as an audience suppose root for this relationship? I find it... just very creepy and unsettling. But I have read enough yaoi to think that they are going to end up together...
I thought it reminded me of A Cruel God Reings after I finished reading the first chapter. The second, however, made me think more of a revenge plot, especially the last line (the kid being a sheltered boy). I guess we have to wait to see how it goes.
I don't think this is the kind of manga that makes you root for the relatonship, bur rather hold your breath an especulate. Will the guy make the MC suffer? Should we prepare for the worst?
plse anything but not that , i dont want another step father like Gerg god i remember i was kinda broken while reading it ... that was too much for my then fragile heart..
This is a better story than I expected. I hope we learn more about Heejae. As of now, I can't imagine a happy ending with any pairing. Is it all updated now? Gosh, I'm going to have to wait...
The dialogue is hilarious. The awkward love story keeps me waiting for the next chapter. The art took some getting use to, but now I kinda enjoy its style. I'm glad someone's translating this again!
After 2 chapters: Sooo MC thought love interest was like 17 when he was actually 10? I suspend my disbelief for a lot of yaoi plot but cannot suspend my disbelief for that.
THEN IT WAS THE OTHER WAY ROUND
