My lacking romantic aspirations is exactly because I think like Shinwoo and has never had the love meter to match Han's maturity.
I piled up chapters and really needed some time to absorb chapter 45. Ive cried from a few chapters early on but I was nearly hyperventilating just processing the words and emotions of ch45. Shinwoo's confession. Han's words which felt like words that spoke to not just Shinwoo but anyone who thought like him...basically like me. And it's like a rollercoaster of heartwarming embrace of validation and bitter awakening that this is fiction... it's an imitation of a "what if" or "couldve been", an "almost true but not actually tangible", a mimicry that has been looked down on by early philosophers because it is an imagined state of reality. Emotions are there, but it is as fleeting as a wishful thinking until a person in the tangible world sincerely utters the same words with the same sentiment to you and YOU alone..instead of a witnessed scene from a window, separate from you and never truly directed at you.
Istg yaoi authors better take notes coz the chemistry and sexual tension is strong. Heck, even straight couples rarely get this tyoe of atmosphere right
Coz he'll really debut again and with a serious role of keeping choi wangil in place as much as he will be Moondae's bridge to certain bad PRs Traveller will do.
But jeez, we're getting closer to the dreaded "Moondae past" and im honestly not ready to see it visually unravel
you're scaring me, wdym by that? I wanna read the novel so bad now
But then it just had to feature dumb trainees with dumber company set ups that are bound to fail given the unreasonable setting. How does a midsize company not have enough trainees to sub a vocalist to the point of letting a secretary just switch jobs. The romcom is interesting, but the overall setting and side characters bothers me so much that it only kills my braincells instead of enjoying a sidepiece smut-comedy.
The audacity to accuse his son of letting his heart influence his choices as if he hadnt gone and sold his soul to the devil to try and implicate his son's lover. Like i even forgot what the big deal is given the connection seonwoo has as an upright and competent man in the economy AHAHHA
It's one thing to reject his feeling and another to dismiss it, trample it, and make excuses like "being the adult" as if your adulthood gives you the right to disrespect someone's emotions just because you dont think rejection isnt enough to hurt them :)
His reaction is 100% realistic and valid
it doesnt make his "realistic and valid reaction" any less disrespectful and intentionally offensive. Regardless of age gap or his guardian status, his "adult" response was dismissing someone's affections PLUS marketting them off to some stranger.
He couldve stopped at "i only look at you as a son, a younger brother, a family that is not within the boundary of romance. But please stop pursuing me." Period.
This is a book not your psychology essay
Idk what you mean, if as an adult you've raised someone for 10 years this is one of the most realistic and valid reactions to have.
Looks like smut has killed reading comprehension with ppl not understanding my point. Also, psychology essay? Pfft. Interpreting it as "the realistic and valid" reaction is a psychological assumption
┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Dude if someone give me a heart felt confession and I am conflicted then I would want time to think about it. Idk why I responded you clearly have too high EQ and IQ to be discussing this with u, ur majesty of the smut analysis
Its kinda boring just having him stay at this passive state. And the chapter ended short without much of a drama to look forward to
I loved that peak of conflict before the reset and now i dont know how much they know and dont know. Im aware of the middle arc which tied in the past narratives, but comes immortal emperor, it gets more confusing. Plus in the end, he will still chase after the npc coz his grievances were erased a girl in a bl is truly treated like shit... even the rarest gem of them all
With how they saw him grow up and the ways he helped them, i want to believe that the route would ens with: "as long as you are truly happy, and even happier than you could have been"... coz im so tired of the 'realistic homophobic oldies at the countryside' when there's already an 'outsiders who wants to scam him and act like it's for his own good' at play. It's just pitiful if he cant even have these old peeps support him.
