i'm at my wits end here... i read this around around a decade ago & i only remember very few things about it & the fact i liked it a lot back then
1. setting: a special class made of influential people in a private (?) high school, so their class is very accommodating to their students' professional lives
2. main story: i could be mixing up their mc/ml roles, but the main pairing is basically a blonde (white-haired in manga) taller top & a shorter, black-haired bottom who's a celebrity. the story talks about his struggles with being a celebrity... i think... i really don't know except it frustrated me at some point
3. spin-off/side-story aka story igaf about more: it revolves around another pair in the class. A is a grey haired (manga-wise) bottom with a more feminine portrayal & B is a black haired top. A is a tsundere & i THINK B has some sort of protective streak... either for A or for the black-haired bottom of the main pairing, i forgot. A experiences jealousy due to B. i remember this scene explicitly, but while they're fucking after some back-&-forth with their relationship & they finally get together ambiguously, A says he'll never fall in love with B, anyone but B. iirc, A also j has a big thing for B calling him cute or some other feminine compliment
hi! i'm trying to look for this specific manhwa/webtoon (i'm not sure which it was) where A was a hikkikimori, and his neighbor (whom A had feelings for in the beginning) has B (the neighbor met him at a gym) living with him in hopes they can both help each other out. B's boyfriend died of cancer, while A's parents died in a car accident on their way home to see A. A blamed himself of his parents' death. both A and B have cuts on their wrists.
i swear they crammed at least 3 novel chapters into this cuz that was a LOT of things j left out. necessary to the plot or not, there's sm about their character expansions & thought processes that's being left out j to get to the point/destination aka the ending. maybe some things don't contribute to the plot, but it contributes to their relationship & j makes the characters feel more fleshed out. rn the characters not only fall flat, but it's like they're j puppets & a means to an end :/ disappointing cuz the art is beautiful & kml was a much greater predecessor compared to this. i wonder if anything's happening to the author behind the scenes?
