Hajin was born first. The father told the mother that she had to get pregnant and do her job as a wife or she’s done for (presumably she’s been having an affair and he threatened the partner). Mother found out she was pregnant with the affair partners child when Hajin was around 4-5 and had the baby. Instead of letting people know that she cheated and had a bastard child, daddy dearest forced her to stay in England with the kid for a bit and then dumped the child onto the grandparents and mother came home without the newborn after father threatened to do something with that child and her partner. Her affair partner is most likely dead. Hajin being the legitimate son and the eldest probably took after papa in his cruel ways and bullied the illegitimate younger half-brother. Mama bear did not like that and started seeing hajin as daddy 2.0 and was NOT happy. So she hates hajin for what he represents. Her golden baby boy could do no wrong because that’s her lovers son. The whole “swap” thing is about their stories in England. The butler said that Hajin was the one who lived with the grandparents in England but it was actually the illegitimate brother that was in England.
I think the mother did something wrong in the past before Hajin was born and that the father is holding it over her head like a guillotine ready to come down at any moment that’s he decides he’s had enough of her insubordination (because he treats her like his lessor rather than his equal). He probably abused her mentally this whole time with the fact that he could easily kill the last remaining trace of her dearly departed lover whenever he wanted to and that it’s by his graciousness that the child lives.
If you think something is wrong with my theory or timeline, feel free to correct me but I’m pretty sure this is it.
Your theory sounds, well… sound. I’d like to propose a counter theory.
I don’t think hajin was rejected for bullying his younger bro. Because she was already rejecting him during his drowning incident. He was a sweet, very young child then- yet she wanted him to die… to me that isn’t momma bear behavior. Letting a young child drown, who loves you so much, and is so sweet… what could he have even done to his brother, at that age, to warrant death?
Are we sure he’s her biological son? He looks like the dad, but maybe that’s why the dad didn’t question it? If the pregnancy with hajin’s dad was real… but she gave him a fake baby (hajin) so she could flee overseas with her real baby… then that would make sense. I think she just wanted to escape from him.
The affair rumors are because people think she’s dating her son. They think she’s a cougar. Hajin’s bro is the real son. Isn’t that why she said, “you know what that child is to US” rather than “to her”. The dad might not want to reveal this mess to the public. That’s why he’s chosen to reject his biological son. That’s also why the bro told hajin, “ you stole everything from me”
Also, the bro looks just like his mom.
That line about “you know what the child is to us” was about the illegitimate child and is essentially her collar to be a good wife. The condition of her being a good wife is probably that father ignores the mama-son dates and doesn’t hurt him. The father is so concerned with appearances, he would NEVER let an illegitimate or swapped son into his home. It just wouldn’t happen. We know for certain that Hajin is his son. I don’t believe Hajin would have been too young to hurt his brother. My older cousins used to absolutely terrorise me and they were 5-7 while I was 2-3. You can be a douchebag at any age and still be sweet and loving to the adults. Also Hajin does look like the father and although yes he doesn’t look the same as mama, if he was an illegitimate child, Hajins father would have hajins real mother nearby somewhere and Hajin would have known about it. She would have been his nanny and nursemaid. The affair probably did happen though. I know THIS affair report is about the son but I don’t believe that they were raised together and the only reason for that would be that he’s an affair baby.
Also about the drowning, a mother to a newborn can kill her baby even if she loves them very very much if she’s sleep deprived and in a survival state of being. A father can too but mothers all over the globe have snapped and killed their own precious babies due to this phenomenon of being so stressed and tired, they just couldn’t handle it. If she didn’t like hajin from the beginning because Hajin is the son of the abusive husband she has, it would make sense that in a high stress situation (her marriage), one small trigger can have her kill her son or just let him die. It’s not uncommon actually.
Well, I get that. Even parents that aren’t stressed out can harm their children. Mine actually did. I was in the foster care system for child abuse, before I got adopted.
Regarding hajin being a fake or not, there’s a loophole to what you said. If the mother handed over Hajin as a fake baby (substitute) to the dad (probably at the hospital right after giving birth, (never underestimate, what rich and famous people are capable of pulling off ) but presented all the medical evidence and paperwork for the biological child as if it were Hajin’s, then the dad might not have figured it out until after he had already presented Hajin to the public. I mean, the guy would be in a rush to present the child because that child is the leash on the Mom.
And we both get what this Guy is capable of when it comes to his public image. He would keep a fake son, and disregard the real one, if the public already believe that Hajin was his real son. Because admitting to a scandal like that would be more concerning to him than allowing the switch and hiding the real one. This guy has no love at all for his family.
But honestly, no matter what it is I don’t care as long as it’s a really high-quality twist. As long as the author can surprise me, and I don’t actually find someone who can speculate it to a T, then I’ll be a happy reader.
I’m sorry you went through that! My parents were really shitty and abusive too but unfortunately my child protective services are dog shit and they did nothing about it so I get how sucky the system is. I’m glad you ended up being adopted tho!
Yes but he would have found and kept the real baby too. Also, I’m pretty sure at the start of their marriage, she wasn’t as wealthy as she is now. I don’t think she had the means to pull off something like this and why would she hate Hajin if he’s a fake? There’s too many inconsistencies for that to be the case.
Sorry to hear you went through that too. The irony on my end, is that my adoptive parents were also abusive. Just in new/different ways. (Less physical towards me, more about toxic control, financial manipulation and abuse, and identity theft problems. The sky is the limit, when you know someone’s Social Security number, address, and their birthday.)
About the Mom lacking funds, It would work if the Mom planed this well in advance during her pregnancy. She can just use the dad’s money because they’re married. If it’s brand, new wife is broke, that’s gonna raise eyebrows. So she could withdraw funds because, when you buy stuff, you can always just sell it later. Especially if it’s really expensive stuff like, I don’t know- designer clothes, and watches. Some watches go for the price of a house. She could get her hands on a substantial amount of funds that way.
Or if she could use her name as the new wife of the mega rich, powerful guy. You’d be surprised how far being the wife of a super powerful guy can take you. As long as she’s not using his people to get stuff done, she could still get stuff done.
Ugh, spelling error. (Typo) Meant to say, “ if the dad’s brand new wife is broke, that’s going to raise some eyebrows to others.”
People would find it odd if his new wife had no access to money (despite them being married). At the very least, her clothes should be worth a car.
Nope because if she sells her clothes or her car or something like that, people will think poorly of her and her husband. Unless she’s stealing items to sell, she won’t be able to sell her own stuff. It’s a common mistake people make when making an exit plan. They think they can just pawn and sell items but that’s the first thing abusers will check for since it makes them look the worst and it’s always a telltale sign of abuse or addiction.
Acts like a toddler and storms out!
No but fr if you wanna be treated like a mature adult, hold mature adult conversations even if it’s uncomfortable because that’s what adults do. They have uncomfortable discussions in order to maintain a status quo. I’m in my early 20s and if my partner was older than me and we had a disagreement in which I was feeling jealous and neglected (both very valid feelings), I would discuss that with my partner instead of demanding they do things that are unrealistic and unnecessary. The issue isn’t external, it’s internal. IM feeling jealous and neglected so IM the one who needs to voice that and ask for a REASONABLE solution. In this case, introduce me to your employee and ask for the workplace to be a touch free zone where you’re not just grabbing each other at work and as for the neglect, take up a part time job and offer the wages to contribute to the household so the partner can take a few days off and we can coordinate days off and enjoy them together. No creampies, no hickeys in obvious places, no doing it until someone passes out, no leaving it in all night long, no doing it without protection. Those are solutions. Listening to your partners needs will help you get what you want in the long run. Approaching them for sex and only sex will make it feel like intimacy is a chore but approaching them for affection is caring and sweet and makes them want more. It’s the little things that make them feel more relaxed which in turn makes them want you more. He’s young but he’s got 0 creativity.
Can we marry already?
Yes as long as you don’t mind my husbandos and waifus and their husbandos and waifus ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
im inq
I told my dad that as long as I’m paying rent, I’m not living under his rules. I’ll respect him and give him the courtesy of letting him know what’s going on but I won’t abide by curfews and nonsense when I’m an adult woman. It took him a while to get it but he understands now that he’s wayyy out of line considering he wasn’t like this to his son from his first marriage and that men can father more children in 9 months than a woman can birth so the focus shouldn’t be on young women but on young men. Also she’s had a bf before. He should know the deal. Btw I’m African and Latin and grew up in a Muslim household so while it may not be Asian, it’s pretty much the exact same thing and my dad was born in the 50s so…
soooo real, when i was 18 my parents thought me staying out at 10 was late and they know i don’t party/drink/etc or date anyone but my brother can do whatever the fuck he wants when he was younger?? pissed me off bro
I told him stories about my white British friends younger sister who dropped out of school at age 13, got pregnant at 15 and had a kid and didn’t complete her GCSEs and showed him my friends liquor cabinet which had 37 full bottles and 12 almost empty ones. Me staying in my room most of the time and going out with friends once in a while or staying over at my bfs house is nowhere near any of those issues and I’m vocally childfree with an iud. I’m the least problematic 20 something year old he knows and that’s including him if his fun story about getting crabs medication at the pharmacy is anything to go by lol just embarrass them back and let them know that they still get bragging rights to all their parent friends and get to let everyone know that their child is still a success even if they come home the next day.
take kargas deal which gives ishino what he wants but at the cost of always looking over his shoulder or call up nemeth right now and say that you’ll go to him and him alone with karga but with no restrictions on his movement since he’s coming voluntarily. I kinda hope he chooses nemeth because that’s a rich sugar daddy and karga is basically a glorified attack dog so if he ever wanted to go out somewhere, nemeth can foot the bill and karga can protect him. I know he won’t but ishino has never been the sharpest tool in this open can of worms so…
The red head tried to copy hajin for the longest time iirc and tried to become the sugar baby of aegis ceo/director to move up in the showbiz world but backed off eventually cause hajin and the director are dating and hajin felt bad or felt like he owed red so he asked director to help him get into aegis. I think he helped with a case hajin had against his former ceo/director?? Honestly it’s been so long so the details are foggy but that’s what I remember. Let me know if I’m wrong.
You are the real hero for giving us folks who are on their way to esrly dementia a rundown
Lmaoooooooo well grandma, I’ll keep reminding you until it sticks <3
He feels like a man’s man cause “his omega” is spending his money so he feels like a true provider. He’d probably be pissed off if you didn’t. Alphas don’t like feeling like they have nothing to offer especially when you can do it yourself. Makes them feel super small.
Lmao it sounds like you know a real alpha
This cracks me up
The only (A) males I know are a-holes so this is taken straight from them lmaooo rich or poor doesn’t matter when they all have the same ego #－.－)
Also I’m practically a yaoi expert at this point I basically live on this site lmaoooo
So real sis
I’m so glad the author allowed him to get revenge himself instead of making the bosses swoop in and save the day! I hope he gets to feel safe and loved soon!
I do the same damn thing lmaooooo thankfully my children love me and they don’t feel embarrassed doing kissy cuddly things but I totally manipulate them into coming to me at night to sleep on my bed or to sit next to me rather than away from me lol all cat owners know what’s up
I love those tests so much. I use stuff like that with my partners so we have a clear understanding of what the other expects and we can find a middle ground if necessary! Word of warning: only works if both partners are being honest about what they want! But it’s soooooo helpful and you can properly say yay or nay to certain things wayyy before it could happen and become a problem that breaks you up! I personally think everyone in any type of romantic or sexual relationship should take tests like this!
do u recommend any specific tests??
The BDSM test is great for sexual kinks and I usually look on Pinterest for the relationship and hobbies based stuff. It’s a lot of “this or that” questionnaires mostly but it depends on you and your own needs. Sometimes I’ll google one online for free. I think relate.org.uk does a good one but idk what country you’re in. Sorry I can’t give you specific links.
Ok, thanks for that regardless (▰˘◡˘▰)
I know it’s a tail but god I hope they put him in a cage
