i know he's upset & remoreseful about what he said to his mum, & i hope he fucking reflects exactly on what he said. hyesung is now in his life - hell, he was in every right to not want a child in the beginning, whom he came for not long after leaving, which is exactly what makes him VERY different from the grandmother. hyesung came back & made an EFFORT to stay, change & raise byul. byul almost equating hyesung to the grandmother is absolute fucking bullshit. i understand it's because he's a teen & things are happening back-to-back for him where he's always the one wronged, so he likely lashed out, especially towards hyesung who has ALWAYS given him so much more grace & benefit of the doubt, but it doesn't stop me from absolutely FUMING over how he treated hyesung. i am a hyesung defender until i fucking die, since the first story & until now
also, not byul being a hypocrite too with the "you never heard her side of the story!" & did you hear byul's about why he wasn't around during your time of birth? the fuck
also, j an addition: not byul raising the topic of hyesung not wanting him when the period of hyesung leaving was literally j for a few months after byul was born, meanwhile hyesung was abandoned since he was a child until he became an adult, pregnant, birthed, etc. like again, to even try to equate hyesung with his fucking grandmother is absolute insanity
MMMMMMMMMM right
No seriously this was what I thought too reading the chapter, honestly you have to just kinda think ‘why does my mom not talk to grandma anymore?’ and you will sort of understand SOMETHING BAD DEFINITELY HAPPENED.
I’m also a Hyesung defender since the first story, Hyesung literally went through so much, and honestly I am just reminded how much I hated Dojin in the first story
absolute BARS. exactly what i thought
That doesn't excuse what Hyesung did. You can't simply make the argument "well he EVENTUALLY came back for his son, so its chill". No that doesn't excuse he still made an very terrible mistake. Hyesung made a clear decision to abandon his child right after birth. Do you know what that does to a child? Hyesung could've aborted the child long ago, but he made the decision to follow through with the birth, so that should've been the moment he decided "I am going to take care of this child." Also why are we getting upset at A CHILD (aka Byul). Is Hyesung's mother worse and did even more terrible things than Hyesung? Absolutely, Hyesung's mother is terrible for what she did and I don't think most people disagree with that, but it is the fact so many people are just giving Hyesung a pass when he is not without faults too. Byul being upset is JUSTIFIED and it is crazy to me, so many of you people are upset at a CHILD who knows his mother originally did not want him and abandoned him the few months of his life. How would that make you feel? You would definitely lash out too because you're HURT. How do you think Byul would feel if he heard "Hyesung has every right to not want Byul". Absolutely awful and devastating and for what? What did Byul do to deserve to not be wanted? Nothing! This is the crux of the argument for most of us on the other side of this topic.
You not realizing that Hyesung WAS the unwanted child, his mother LITERALLY abandoned him ALL his life. Plus he didn’t even want byul in the first place he kept the baby bc dojin said he would give him money to keep it. Which if you don’t remember was after he raped him. Theres no a way ij the world that you read all that and still think HS is not the victim in all this.
And HS not wanting Byul is smth he just has to get over. My mom didn’t want me neither when she was a pregnant I don’t resent her or blame her for that. Had she not had me she could’ve had a better life.
Stop talking about shit you don’t know especially if you haven’t read the story. I keep seeing your fuck ass name pop up w stupid ass takes.
it's so painfully obvious you've never read the first story, so it's confusing as hell why you're so shamelessly passionate about being embarrassingly ignorant
no literally, & the way he had the audacity to be like "i know she abandoned you but tf that has to do with me!!" like i'm gonna smack the shit out of you man
hating dojin is so fucking valid too, even without the first story literal criminal & selfish behaviour cuz genuinely, a reason why byul can even dare to say that bullshit to hyesung was because he sees dojin contacting the grandmother frequently & he believes it shouldn't be such a big deal then, esp. cuz dojin is someone who "loves" hyesung so much (aka if someone loves you sm, they wouldn't do smth so devastating to betray you)
EXACTLY!! God I look forward to the next update cause the end of the recent chapter WAS JUST NOT IT.
based on the fact he read all those diary entries AND had that dream... babes i think you're setting yourself up rn...
i was trying to skim through to sleep - aside from the very obviously rushed & quarter-assed ending, can someone tell me whether they ever addressed the misunderstandings? there's a LOT of plot holes & j forgotten elements no?
1. the previous omega who the alpha was previously fucking & who he said he might see again after his relationship w/ the mc ends
2. in relation to above, the previous omega was never raised again even when the alpha said he didn't want to sleep with anyone? even though the previous omega was a clear contention in their relationship?
3. the misunderstandings on how fucking horribly he worded out that he was j scared of starting smth he knew he'd 1 day lose which is such a gd loser & half-ass excuse anyways, but it would've done A LOT to clarify with the mc
4. mc moving on was dramatic as hell j for them to get back in the final chapter, within 3 panels??? brah
5. OBVIOUSLY the whole thing with minseong, the pregnancy, their families, usa vs europe etc.
OH MY GOD??? HOLD ME, THAT WAS ACTUALLY A SATISFYING & GOOD ENDING TO S1!! i've almost always been traumatised by season endings recently, so this is SO AMAZING, I LOVE YOU AUTHOR!!
the timing is so horrible. it's not giving byul a chance to take a break AT ALL while also being a slap to hyesung's face to find this out after he's protected & stood in favour of byul this whole time. i wasn't happy with byul seeing hyesungs mother in private, though i understood it's complicated & he didn't have the full picture. i wanted hyesung to be told/find out eventually too, because he deserves to know this so badly, but the timing... it's j too awful man. like let byul have a breather ;;
seriously so unhinged... from the beginning to the end, there really isn't any middle ground for them & i'm being tossed left & right here
i fucking love yearning big dog semes. & ian you god damn lucky bastard, eunsan looks like the healthiest korean dinner spread ever
first time i read an author's note & i understand why i always skip out on it. the 100% hetero aside because while i know general bi/panphobia & the weird manner conservative asians treat/view queers, aka as if we were freaks in a circus, i don't understand "locker room culture" but men have always shocked me with how much they love/"pretend" to be sexual with other men yet swear up & down they're not gay, so whatever
but ughhh, the next season will be a lot of flashbacks huh... like i understand the importance of the background story because we need to know why ian is THIS obsessed with baek eunsan + i hope the author shows how important ian was to baek eunsan & how impacted he was when ian left, but i feel this would bite the author back after they officially stated baek eunsan "was" 100% hetero... which again, could j be an odd way a non-queer person fetishises the concept of "i'm straight but you're my exception" or j an odd perception of the conservative nations, so maybe the author would still add that ian was v important to eunsan but that's it...?
j a disclaimer: you can care VERY much about someone & not have romantic feelings for them, but this shit a romantic yearning slop yaoi, so!
oh i left this out - i'm never a big fan of flashbacks because i j want to see the current progression & a happy ending, esp. because s1 ended on such a high note & i want to continue from there, but yeah!! i'll likely let s2 marinate first if it'll focus on flashbacks. i might die of frustration if not
