They could be reverse... why everybody thinks Jake is exclusively a top? We still have no clue (and I checked the raws up to Ch.17). I wouldn't be surprised if they switch at some point. Maybe not during their first time, but afterwards it looks possible to me since both have that male alpha vibe. If they never switch however, then Shin is definitely going to be a power bottom (〜￣△￣)〜
Can someone please share the raws link with me?? I keep loosing it :,(((((
THANKS! There's an update from today :))))))
IM SO SAD your gonna read it and get all upset for euijoon
Oh I just did! So sad :(( But I didn't understand if those bad guys were after him and his sick brother because of money debts or were they after Ahjuicy??
I didn’t get a chance to translate it but as far as I know the guy who was with the tattoo guy is the one who drove ahjussi and euijoon to eat the first time they went out to eat so he probably told the tattoo guy that euijoon is the guy ahjussi has been hanging out with but idk what their problem was
Oooh I kinda figured it out although it’s a google translation the tattoo guy is the guy who was ringing ahjussimf like 16 times in the end of season 1 but ahjussi wouldn’t pick up and the guy who drove ahjussi and euijoon to eat told him that ahjussi has been hanging out with a kid so tattoo guys asking euijoon what his relationship is with ahjussi and why ahjussi isn’t answering his calls and than that guy hits him cuz euijoon doesn’t tell them anything about their relationship
Gotcha! Thanks :)))
It makes sense! And that's why Euijoon was trying his best to not look confused and worried when he was about to see Ahjuicy... I think he said something like: "I should not make early conclusions about his situation before getting to know him". He mentioned something about a debt so maybe he thought those guys were after Ahjuicy because of debts or something... Interesting!
Our Euijoon is so smart
So proud my my baby , not jumping to conclusions without knowing the whole truth
(づ￣ ³￣)づ
The sense of fashion in this webtoon tho!! They both look so stunning and sophisticated in their fancy clothes. And Ethan with those glasses... my oh my! (☆▽☆)
Can someone please share the link for the raws? I keep losing it :(((((
I want to but I think I might get caught it's 3:53am
So I went through this manhwa again to find out when exactly Tae-Seung had a flashback about his first meeting with Soo-Young during their high-school time... It turns out it was actually a flashback in a form of a dream (last panels of Ch. 25). That was fascinating as I realized I missed so many things in this story, from the details about the past to their relationship's dynamic! Reading it again was actually eye opening!
___
I was surprised to notice that TS was very caring since the beginning as soon as SY showed some sign of rebellion when TS asked him for the debt money. He then had this inexplicable feeling that SY was familiar to him and they met before... that situation was the exact reflect of their High School fight and that's why he recalled it at that moment! From there on, he wanted to protect him and to keep him by his side at all costs... still without finding any rational explanation to his strange behavior.
Another funny thing I noticed is that SY was always a bit extreme regarding his relationship with sex. Before, I had the impression TS was going way too rough and SY didn't really want it that way... but actually, you can read in Ch.24 that he wants it rough and he was even disappointed when TS stopped (thinking SY might faint again). Before that, SY kept saying: "Stop, stop... it hurts" and as soon as TS stopped, SY was like "Hun? what?" And went to bed kinda disappointed xD Even TS was teasing him saying "Asking me to stop over and over until you faint is your thing/kink or what?"!
And finally, Minhyuk! I've always had a soft spot for him until the very last chapters where we found out he was the mole and he ends up raping SY after taking advantage of his memory loss. During my first reading, I was confused by MH intentions. I first thought he was actually in love with TS and he only wanted SY out of fascination and jealousy but it's actually quite obvious now that he fell for SY right during their first meeting when SY went crazy defending himself and protecting MH from those guys. MH was hooked at that moment and he was slowly processing his feelings towards SY, going from wanting to f*ck him, to then protect him, to finally wanting to have him for himself alone... even if that includes kidnapping him and lying to him.
I think MH will be the one losing the most in this manhwa (= will die). But I still believe he is the most complex and deep character as well. He is the observant and manipulative kind. Very smart and acts like a cameleon... a bit like a sociopath if you prefer. SY is the only and first person who was able to move him and made him do things he's never done before. MH cares for SY... as crazy as it seems. That being said, I am still the biggest shipper of TS and SY and I hope they will be end game of course but that doesn't prevent me from enjoying MH's interference... The plot will have less depth without him!
i agree with everything u said! also thank you for refreshing my memory, it's been a long time since i first read this manhwa and didn't have enough time to reread it :)
So agree!
Actually taesung has been in love with sooyoung since the high school. Taesung is 2 years older than sooyoung but with that small body, he beaten up taesung. That's why taesung was so obsessed with sooyoung. Minhyuk is like a baby duck. He never had ppl who cares about him, when sooyoung protecting him while being hurt, he fell in love with his kindness. He never felt that way before. It turn to be obsession his love for sooyoung. Idk but this story make me afraid to read every update but i still reading it btw.
the fact that my entire reaction while reading your comment was like 'yes girl yes yes and yes!'
wait did the manhwa shows us the panel when SY and TS were in highschool? bcs dang i totally forgot :(
Yes. In taesung part
You pretty much nailed everything.
Personally, it's Taesung that really interests me because of that one particular flashback. How can someone as ruthless as him right now where killing is as easy as breathing, used to actually get shakened and even ask his friend in the past to hug him and comfort him after he apparently killed someone (which was Sooyung's uncle). Minhyuk just really comes off to me as a standard deceitful psychopath.
But as much as I hate to admit it, Minhyuk has more or less did ended up somewhat really wanting to care for Sooyung which we will see in depth in the next chapter based on the summary I saw about it (still doesn't excuse his rape tho) compared to him initially only obsessively wanting to fuck him, he became somewhat truly wanting Sooyung for himself.
Also, one last thing, that rough sex with Taesung? To add more about it, everyone seems to forget how tough Sooyung is. Like if he didn't really like it he's not afraid to throw punches. Heck, his first meeting with Taesung he wasn't even afraid to brawl with Taesung. If he didn't like his rough sex with Taesung why didn't we see him try to actively push Taesung away? Like he doesn't even try to punch or slap him and we all know how Sooyung is more than capable of throwing punches and yet we never really see him try to stop Taesung. Sooyung enjoys/likes it. Anyway, I thought this was pretty much clear since he sometimes even says so himself that it feels good and etc.
Overall, Taesung and Sooyung should definitely be endgame because Sooyung seems to have the biggest influence on Taesung and I've noticed that Taesung's moments of being "good" was either because of Sooyung or because it's for Sooyung. Sooyung to me seems like the only person that could change Taesung for the better. I don't really see any potential with Minhyuk and Sooyung since it's absolutely one-sided. Like Sooyung only sees him as his junior that he likes and wants to protect and care for.
Yep, facts! Especially regarding SY's tough character and despite that, still getting beaten up and suffering his whole life. While reading this from the start yesterday, it hit me how much the author had this obsession for making SY's life miserable... even before TS. It's obvious she has that kind of consistent sadistic approach when it comes to SY's character and I guess the sooner we accept her choices, the better it is. She likes making him suffer. First, his dad being a violent alcoholic, then his boxing misfortunes that irreversibly messed up his body and brain, then his psychotic possessive boyfriend and finally TS. Although TS is the first one who made him feel safe and important, ironically, he also brought to SY's life all the danger that implies working with the mafia.
Comparing to what he's endured and what he will still endure, their steamy and SM sex sessions are really nothing in this regard. My only regret is that we can clearly see through the chapters how SY's feelings are evolving and how he is sincerely falling in love for TS, yet TS's vocabulary when it comes to SY either focus on his obsession to keep him safe by his side or to treat him like his puppy xD I know his love mostly shows through his actions but the end of S1 kinda made us all confused with his stupid decisions. He needs to make amend for that somehow and I truly hope he won't punish SY's again for being almost killed and being manipulated by MH...
As mentioned in my comment, you can see it in the last panels of Chapter 25 ;) TS and SY have a 3 years age difference and it seems they crossed paths in High School! SY caught TS's attention by beating the shit out of him in HS even though he's all small and skinny comparing to TS. From there on, TS had a soft spot for him but he still went on living his life and forgot about him until they met again more than 10 years later (SY is now 26 and TS 29). There's also this shady story with SY's uncle and TS is apparently the one involved in his murder. He is now doing everything to hide it from SY so he won't lose him...
Lawd this is a long reply. My apologies.
Ah, as for Sooyung always getting beaten up, I think it's largely because of his character. Sooyung is stubborn, tough, and to an extent brave. He doesn't run away from conflict or from a fight, he bashes through it head on. He doesn't get easily scared. And that's what's always gets him in trouble. Take the previous chapter for example. If only he didn't snoop around in shady places, none of this wouldn't have happened.
As for Taesung, it's kinda inevitable for Sooyung to get in danger given Taesung's profession background but Taesung knows this. That's why he's so overly protective of Sooyung. He even said in the earlier chapters that to keep Sooyung safe he must first make himself safe first, this was in regards to Taesung's enemies.
I think Sooyung would probably be in a much worse situation if not for Taesung. Remember, the reason they met is because Sooyung's father had a debt on Taesung. Taesung was already ruthless at that time, killing for him wasn't an issue. Taesung spared and even gave Sooyung a special treatment because he got enamored with him. Imagine what if the loan shark wasn't Taesung but another ruthless gangster that has no special feelings for Sooyung? I think Sooyung would've been in a much worse situation as he would struggle to earn the money to pay the debt. And earning money is already hard for him because of his disability.
Yeah, Taesung does make bad decisions. I think this is largely because of his insecurity and anxiety of losing Sooyung. This, and the fact that he has a gangster upbringing, is what makes him do some extreme measures. Remember when Sooyung got stabbed? Taesung didn't expect that to happen and he regretted his decision as Sooyung could've have gotten killed. But in the end, his plan kinda worked, that's why he became even more possessive and protective with Sooyung afterwards, because he almost lost Sooyung once and he doesn't intend to let it happen again. That's why Taesung got so worried and mad when Sooyung disappeared last time.
Taesung needs to lose this insecurity and anxiety of his. That's what's always gets to him. He is even more anxious about Sooyung discovering his secret, about his involvement in the death of Sooyung's uncle because Taesung knows how Sooyung loved his kind uncle.
I'm not sure but I don't think Taesung will punish Sooyung for this. I think Taesung will know something is wrong with Sooyung. Remember that time he momentarily choked Sooyung? It was largely because he got too mad and Sooyung provoked him. It was some kind of punishment for Sooyung being stubborn but he immediately realized he went to far and apologized to Sooyung. Even if Sooyung didn't really care for the choking, as Sooyung was more concerned about his jealousy with Taesung, Taesung still tried to make sure if he was indeed okay. And when Sooyung said he was fine because he's tough, Taesung said no you're not tough and told Sooyung everything to clear things up. Taesung is not perfect so once in awhile he would do bad stuff like this but you can also see here that he does want to do better for Sooyung.
It's Minhyuk that should get worried. Who knows what Taesung will do to him lol.
i didn’t read all of this but what now!?! tae-sung knew him in high school?? please tell me this isn’t spoilers
Very detailed and agreeable!! It makes more sense now thanks to you
I love reading your insights. Thanks for sharing :))) I hope you're right and TS won't act stupid again by punishing SY for his bold behavior. He went literally crazy in the last chapter and for a moment there he thought SY was digged into one of those barils. It must have shocked him somehow. I want to see them having some peaceful and pampered time together now before the real storm arrives. The documents and the uncle secret is what I believe will separate them for a while. As for Minhyuk, I truly wonder how he will escape TS's anger from now on...
(Thaaanks hehe)
"He went literally crazy in the last chapter"
Ah when it comes to Sooyung getting hurt or whatnot, he always get crazy. He even almost cut off the fingers of Sooyung's ex, but Sooyung stopped him. Right now (next chapter), he's literally shedding blood and spreading carnage everywhere as he try to look for Sooyung. Which is quite understandable to be honest (and kinda hot ngl lol).
"The documents and the uncle secret is what I believe will separate them for a while."
And it's what I also think is necessary in their relationship. I think this event could cause a significant improvement in their relationship, with Sooyung finally knowing what Taesung is hiding (which is what Sooyung is anxious about) and Taesung stop being too desperate to lose Sooyung after he doesn't have any more comprising secrets to keep from him.
Felix doesn't actually know about Benjamin.
He just said that to Cole to scare him and because he thinks of Isaac as his life partner so his son is also family somehow. I really can't with how blond he is xD
Cole drugged Isaac and will attempt to assault him and mark him to make him his mate just like he did with his late father. Felix will arrive right on time to avoid the full process to be completed. Isaac will badly hurt Cole with a fork but the bite will happen anyways so he'll almost die from the heat and rut but Felix's Alpha pheromones are stronher than Cole's ones and that's what will save them.
Also, I think Cole will run away but Felix's men will neutralize him and Felix will finish him at some point... I am not sure about this point tho. I don't remember everythin. I really hope he'll die.
Are your sure? Cuz didn’t he have his brother or whoever the long haired techy look into who the omega was?
He will die by the hands of Isaac if I remember it right. Felix will confine Cole and the moment Isaac was ok he took a visit and shot Cole.
What happened to Ahjuicy's body? He has scratches all over his back, torso and arms oO Was it like that even in S1? I don't recall such a thing... weird!
They are scars and he always had it
Ok, good to know! Thanks :)))))
I am here for the bloody violence, childhood trauma and twisted relationship! I will root for these two 'till the very end! The tension between them in every single panel is up the roof. Best new webtoon of the season hands down. Jay is one hell of a criminal. Doesn't think twice before killing some bad dudes. I still find his obsession for Shin obscure and I am sure there's some back story behind it. I am also confused by Shin's childhood with that weird family of many kids and parents doing drugs. Was it a foster family or his own? It seems he was by his own since being a kid and had to survive through drug dealing during his teens. He said he was being used and forced by the gang members to take part of the traffic up until he found a way out in mechanics. He also said at some point to Jay that he prostituted himself for money. That guy really went through a lot :/// I like how smart he is and how he just doesn't give his trust that easily. Jay will need to put some tremendous effort to gain his trust and heart... Can't wait to see it all (▰˘◡˘▰)
Anybody has the raws link for this one?! Thanks in advance ^^
but it is in same chapter for a long time
Thanks to the uploader. I am obsessed with this webtoon. Jay and Shin are my new favorites
