See? Ian is a mess too. Like a lt this point just make up your mind. You love him, stay with him.

He didn’t pretend about wanting to leave. He’s just stuck between the choice of completing running away from the gang world, versus trying to live a peaceful life with TJ but there’s a lot going on that TJ has not let go of YET. Until he does, I can’t sense endgame. Author did say there will be an endgame, and that they’re sticking with their choice. We will figure the choice in S3 halfway.

He has tried to “escape” many times. Like with his fake ID, the name he used and the fact he didnt go far away. Always close to be found. Always waiting. I agree he wants TJ and not his life, but he always goes back.At this point he is hurting everyone.
I dont know about endgame, i know that he is fighting himself to stay away from TJ and he cant. He does love him, i think the rest are distractions. Like if he loved Jo, would he do this? If he goes back to Jo, nothing will make sense. He will just be a hypocrite. A bigger mess than he has been.

Im genuinely confused and sad. Ill wait for his development but….
How did he have the heart to rape someone and act nonchalant later ????
It makes no sense. He wasnt that much of a lowlife. Like what is going on?
Yall dont understand that Yuta loved him cause he was gentle with him. He was kind to him.
And now this? And he has to pretend it didnt shatter his already broken soul?
How is he even ignoring how hard it was for Yuta( he knows how bad he was treated) and calling him a cheap whore for other men?
He did it all to survive too. How sad fr.

So he rapes him to the point of bleeding and fainting?
A guy that he knows has been abused all his life. Like he knows Yuta was treated like a plaything for years.
Plus i didnt know payback to a forced bj was that. The fact you excuse what he did cause he was humiliated? Insane.
You can say he lost his mind and got out of control. That he did a monstrous act cause he went insane. No sane person does that.
-He followed him and raped him while he was trying to escape. And the way he brushed it of? Blamed him even?!!!
You might have to reread to compare the severity of what Yuta did compared to Seunghyun. The rape was brutal. Brutal. I dont know what you are seeing, but he broke him again. And he does the same when they sleep for those perverted elders.

If following the morals and rules of this manhwa (not that I condone it), it's to assert dominance, to show who's stronger since what they're really fighting for is who's got the upper hand. Kind of like how some male animals in the animal kingdom, such as lions, to prove a point that they have more testosterone, or dominant or the "alpha" in their pride and a male member of their pride is being unruly, or trying to challenge them, well they mount them (like fuck or hump them). He obviously doesn't look like being looked down upon and the other smaller dude doesn't like he has this holier than thou. The smaller dude is essentially doing all those things because he thinks the other dude is not as perfect as he thinks he is and the bigger dude retaliated in how he thinks to gain power against the person who made him not the strong "alpha" that he is. Yep, it's fucked up and very deranged.

My problem is that he wasnt that type of guy. He wasnt supposed to be this guy who thinks rape is a way to assert dominance. Even if he a gangster. He was a virgin who pined after someone for years.
Like how in hell someone like him does that?! I am sure he is the type to understand how degrading what he did was. Like he knows.
So its insane to me that he does this now.
I agree that after Pearl boy, this thing was expected .
But i was hoping not him. I was hoping the tension between them would never escalate like that. He never gave me the impression of someone who felt he had to secure his dominance.
You can say im sad HE did that.

Everytime.Everytime he acts like its casual and hurts Doumeki with his words, something inside me dies. Not much is left.
The same guy who is impotent with others. He is doing too much. Like at least dont say those words. To someone that loves u enough to die for you and has been honest in his love. I cant anymore. I probably still can but like ;-;

He is terrified to accept he loves Doumeki. He will have to abandon all that he knows, everything he has created to survive.
And yeah is still so hurtful :/
Im rereading and what they have is beautiful. But it made me cry a couple of times already. He lets him go so easily. He needs to set his priorities straight asap. Like snap out of it. He is destroying them both slowly.
Yashiro deserves to be loved like that.

Its like…..they just dont wanna say what they really feel or think. Like its there. But its gone too far cause they dont trust eachother.
The hardest part is that he wanted Taeha to be different. He still seems to suffer that part. I think he really wants to have his love despite all. I think he would have done everything for him if Taeha loved him honestly. But he doesnt let him even forget his trauma. That mf
In a 3some and all he could think was his face as his kissed him with his eyes open……
