**ALERT Unpopular Opinion** How old is Nakyum? He seems way too naive and innocent for a grown up. I mean, not even thinking of cleaning himself after sex? Letting SH doing that for him as if he was his kid or something xD? It's cute and everything don't get me wrong, it's just that.. his passiveness and insouciance don't really match his background. He is an orphan who was raised in a brothel. Even if he was pampered and protected to the extreme by the prostitutes, he would still see how cruel life was for them and that should have made him tougher. There's no way the prostitutes would still pamper him after he's like 13-14. They just can't afford it. We could see that he kinda lived carefree playing outside and painting in the sand until his Nona told him to go live with his teacher so he could at least save his life somehow. Maybe he was 15-16 at that time and now he is 18 or something(?) But really, it surprises me, and a little bit annoys me as well, how much he is just there passively living his life. Even servant Kim tried to push him to be more (re)active. He does not take any initiative. He acts a bit like a child. He still did not understand that SH really cares for him. I love NK but he is too much of a cliche. Portrayed by the author like a gorgeous boyish-looking fragile and constantly crying Uke. If he could take some initiatives sometimes and surprise us with his acts, it would be refreshing. Or is he like that because he is indeed young? Maybe he is just 16 or younger? I don't know! What do you guys think?
I personally think that he might be around 17-19 but was kinda protected and kept innocent by the prostitutes kinda like how you dont want someone to see the bad things in life that sort of thing if that makes sense and I dont think he even knew that he had to clean himself out after doing the do cause like hes never done it before SH and has probably never thoug
-thought about it, also with the not understanding the SH have feelings for him could be because of the gap in hierarchy SH is a lord and NK is a peasant and SH said himself that he would never have feelings for a peasant (I think he said something similar along those lines my memory kinda bad lmao(
Yes, that could explain why he does not take initiatives. He also fears SH's reaction since he is cynical and pretty unstable. At least, he was in the beginning. It's about time hopefully. I notices the author likes to draw NK as a silly and funny character in her posters (not the main plot). He smiles and seems playful with SH. Maybe we will get to see this side of his personality once he feels totally safe with SH and he can let go his fears.
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!
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
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..
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!





Why are they still half dressed at this point? Man, just rip those clothes off. But I must admit, it's also hot seeing Mr Kang with his pants down like that (☆▽☆)
