who is the rival? Has he been introduced yet?

I think this confession was just blurted out. I don’t think it’s the TRUE confession, where Seme goes through some heavy life & soul readjustments, takes accountability for what he’s done, and asks/begs for forgiveness, and truly confesses and or reinforces his feelings. He might even have to show Yeonjo his feelings and live through actions, before Yeonjo forgives and accepts Seme’s feelings, and confesses his own love.

It’s weird to say bc of everything that’s currently happening, but truthfully…Yeonjo escaping and putting distance between them will help tremendously and put into motion Seme’s redemption and Yeonjo’s new life, becoming a person of society again, and forgiveness of Seme, but also forgiveness of himself. Because as we all can see, them being together after everything came out is even more toxic than what they were previously. Seme isn’t thinking correctly and is desperate to keep Yeonjo tied (or literally chained) to him. Worst thing he could’ve done, for this situation, for the both of them. <3

Yes exactly. The love confession wasn't the main one but I must admit it still moved me. We've never seen the seme so sincere besides maybe the time when he learned Yeonjo was fooling him and how he begged him to tell the truth. He was clinging so desperatly to the tiny hope that it would be false and he was more vulnerable than never. This time, he let his true emotions take the lead again but the context was the worst. I can't wait to see Yeonjo free and recover some of his bold and shining personality. I just hope the rival won't use/abuse him again xD

Yes. We have a glimpse of him in the last chapter of the previous season. He appeared again this season I believe but I don't recall which chapters exactly. In the latest raws, he appeared again and he's plotting to take down the seme and he sent someone to free Yeonjo. That's my interpretation from the panels only. I am still waiting for the translation. Hopefully I am not wrong

Dude looks like Eminem

You would be surprised how people have strong opinions on hair styles lol, I've seen couples break up cause someone changed their hair look

That's crazyyy

The super light skin def makes me stare at him more but it’s not bad, and the hair is just fine. Maybe it’s the physique but I think it’s hot

The artist is injured, not the author. Next chapter will be uploaded on 06/05
In the raws, that is. Idk when this is getting updated.

Thanks for the info!

Methinks, Jaeshin didn't notice any danger back than. He just wanted to break free from the guards, as they were following them all the time. The guards are stressed bc they've lost the crown prince.
A moment later it's continuation ab the earrings. Nok wanted to buy him another one 'cause the other pair was broken. And Jaeshin picked a pair there.
Nok vocalised his heart feels relieved, that everything bad is over, but empty at the same time (we understand such feelings perfectly now ;___;). He's also lost at what he should do from now on, but since Jaeshin is by his side, he believes he can go through any circumstances, whether good or bad.
And Jaeshin confirms he's right next to him (yeah right, a second later he goes to talk to the messangers, leaving Nok all alone - as he had taken him from the guards...).

All you gotta focus on is Nok getting hurt.

Thank you dear Vae

yes!! while reading the raws i have thought about this too bcs they were like the happiest in one moment and then the next thing yk but i feel like jaeshin have let himself distracted and let his guard down at that particular moment (can't blame him tho) and once you start thinking on that direction its just so heartbreaking :((

Nah same artist, and as someone who draws, art styles change all the time bit by bit when new inspirations and references come about. I think in this case it’s been a while since the main story finished so the artist style has already changed to how they prefer to draw now. Also I kind of interpret yoohan softer looks as a part of his character development where revenge isn’t his reality anymore so he’s softened up, and I bet fed pretty well too during recovery.

To add on to this, I think the side story art style is more similar to the artists old work and is her preferred way of drawing. In my opinion, payback was actually kind of the odd one out of her entire art discography. There’s also the fact that Payback has been serialized for 4 years (yes it’s been that long), it would be weirder if the art style didn’t change in a span of close to half a decade.

Bro atp my art style changes every time I draw smth

Thanks for the insights! It does make sense although it's mainly Yoohan features and not the director (seme). The drawing style also changed a bit which you explained why. However I believe this artist may have succumbed as well to the trend of uke's twinification. It's happening to most of the BL I read and it drives me crazy :/// All of a sudden uke starts looking younger, slimmer and lose their sharp facial features. It's just sad at this point :/

I see where you are coming from because I’ve noticed that too. It’s just that in comparison to other series, the change in Yoohan’s looks wasn’t as drastic, though I suppose still noticeable to a certain extent.

Ngl, maybe I’m fine with it because I’m already used the artist’s original way of drawing characters more twink like, with payback being the first time she didn’t do so.

My theory is that since the artist is definitely an avid reader of bl manhwa’s as well, it wouldn’t be surprising that it eventually influenced her and other artists to go back to the way she drew certain types men (yoohan in this case where he’s the uke since in past works the artists uke were always twink like).

Well he did admit he’d be lying if he said wasn’t worried about him, so I don’t think it was completely one-sided.

Definitely not but I was expecting him to give up on his attitude (although totally justified) and accepting Jake confession. Not gonna lie, the fact Shin is still resisting a bit make their dynamic more thrilling and it increases the tension but still, it's been like this for too many chapters. We need them to form the crazy spicy duo they're capable off and go hit the road, kill gangsters and enjoy life :)))

This! The end/
