SH cleaning and washing Nakyum after all their hardcore sessions is the precious thing ever. The author really wanted to show everybody in this chapter how selfless SH is so there won't be any more debate about SH's character development. Damn how I wanted to smash people who've been complaining about no character development! There, you have it all exposed to you today. ENJOY!

So the kidnapping finally happened! AMEN to that!
Will SH think that NK ran away after his confession? Probably. Damn, that sucks! Him being sick and NK out of the mansion without servants around look like the perfect opportunity to run away and SH could reach to that biased conclusion.
Nakyum has been pampered for the past few weeks/months in SH's arms and home. I guess it's time to see him suffer. We better be ready. I am ok with a bit of torture but no rape for the love of god! He didn't even had the chance to clean his precious butt :,((
Interesting to know that Jihwa doesn't know shit about what SH really went through in the past. Or at least who were the people involved. He just know the names. It means he was not submitted to the same "treatment"!

Today's chapter could be a filler. Maybe something to prepare for Nameless attack. I am expecting him to appear and discuss with Jihwa about the details and why he is still waiting. Jihwa could be very mad after his love confession so he will probably tell Nameless to not kill Nakyum right away and give him to Min first so he could have fun with him. I have my expectations pretty low because every week the chapters are super short and that's why we have the impression the plot is barely progressing. It's kinda frustrating but I am glad enough the chapters are updating so no more complaining!

That new chapter was so steamy and beautiful!! God, I can't get enough *_*
Basically, after Max returns to the university and helps Chris dealing with the homophobic bullies, they get back together at their dorm. There, Max literally asks their other roommate (who is already in his pajamas) to go spend the night elsewhere in exchange of money, haha!
The next panel is Max and Chris laying on Max's bed. They have a conversation I did not translate and then they start making out and end up having sex. While they are at it, here are Max's internal thoughts (I used Google Translate):
- "I feel alive
Being together like this, I clearly feel alive"
- "Chris, you are my whole life
If you are here, I have no plans to return to that world full of death again".
- "Oh my God,
I don't know what to call this feeling
I can't get enough"
Once they are done, Max asks Chris to move in with him elsewhere. He suggests they rent an apartment and live together from now on.

What happened to Sooyoung's childhood friend (the possessive jerk)? Is he going to disappear from the story just like that? I checked the raws and he does not appear anymore. And who is that guy who was raped by Minhyuk (or whatever his name)? Is it his lover? Why did he forced him like that? I am confused with all the new characters. Some of them really look alike.

for now jisung (the possesive jerk, his ex) is definitely out of the frame? we saw how mad taesung is, surely he did something for him not to bother sooyoung again. the one minhyuk had sex was his current lover/sex partner so i don't think that's rape? the guy wanted to do it with him too although i agree minhyuk was being an asshole. also looks like he got issues, like some sadistic piece of shit with some dirty bags undef his sleeve. he's cunning. I'm not sure who you're talking about that looks alike tho.

Thanks for explaining. Reading the raws, I actually thought that Minhyuk forced Sooyoung's ex (the possessive jerk) to do it with him because his lover looked a bit like that jerk (in my opinion). I was so confused because I did not see the connection at all between Minhyuk and Jisung. Glad to know it was actually his casual lover.

Here's my theory on what's coming next: Akihito will be the one taking distance from Asami. Just like he did after Hong-Kong. But this time, Asami will respect his choice and will not force him to come back and live with him. Both will suffer and a bit of time will pass until a new affair brings them back together. Remember, it's the first time Asami is accepting to show Akihito what his world looks like. Akihito fully wanted it but he also ended up shooting Sudou. If Sudou dies, I don't think Aki is the type of guy to forgive himself for killing someone. He will need some distance from Asami's universe to process what happened.
Ok, so people are already arguing about the chronology of the events! Are the first panels showing Jihwa with short hair in the present or the past?? If it's the present it means SH thought NK actually ran away and he just let it happen. After being depressed for a while he probably went back to Jihwa and that's why Jihwa looks so fresh and happy and also explains those other guys words. We can also tell it's no longer winter time. But then, what the hell happened to NK all this time? Man, I am scared if it's really the case. I hope the author will tweet something to clarify!
Wow I thought it was a flashback because flashbacks usually have black backgrounds right? And there was that time Seungho had his top knot cut off so I thought it happened with Jihwa too but it never occurred to me that it might be a flash forward.
Is that exactly what I'm confused about, if this is a flashback of the past or the near future?
omg i reread and im speechless, I feel so hurt for NK and he just went back to Jihwa ╥﹏╥ im mentally unstable now. This story is good at making us worry for NK
near future, read the words carefully
Guys, I read again the chapter and I think it's in the past. Near the end, when Jihwa talks to Nameless accusing Nakyum being responsible of SH leaving him he says: "When similar things arose in the past, he always forgave me". So I think the first panels were just there to illustrate that.
I think it's definitely a flash back. It's followed by the scene in present moment, where Jihwa is sitting in the snow, in the same spot where he confessed to Seungho earlier. He seems to be recalling the past times and it's folllwed by him recalling what Seungho said to him when he confessed. Hence, the absolute heartbreak later in the chapter
You're right! I did not even notice that! Thanks^^
Yes girl, I reread the chapter and hinted at it. At first I was worried about this flashback and was already assuming that the worst had happened. Let's put our hands together and pray for our baby.
damn now i feel relieved, i need to be more awake when reading, im so sleepy. I keep reading passively
I think it's the future, after Jihwa made a deal with SH.. my theory is that he let Nakyum go without hurting him, if Jihwa was allowed to stay by SH's side, and SH accepted it knowing that this was the only thing that he could do to save NK..
We know that Jihwa still had his topknot when he saw NK tied up, so him losing the topknot must have happened in the future. Also at the first scene Jihwa also thinks about their past, when they were at their worst, which is during their teenage years and thinks about how these two lords don't know anything about SH, so they must have met SH as adults..
However that scene is probably written with the intention of making it confusing to us readers, so perhaps it is a flashback after all..
