You're telling me I can just go around acting like a thug and hot men will throw themselves at my feet!?
He can be silly and goofy, but underneath that he’s so emotionally intelligent. It’s refreshing compared to the usual man child semes. Yeon needed the bit of suffering he’s going through now. How dare he not see Seojoon’s love when they practically lived every waking moment together.
Missing someone because you value their friendship and enjoy being around them, especially after years of being together to the point that you live together isn't the same as being romantically in love or being attracted to them, Mr Judo is wrong on that account.
Blondie saying he's only ever had platonic feelings towards his friend is very valid and he shouldn't have to try to force a love he knows he's not feeling in the hopes of not losing a friend.
I really hope they don't go the "I'll try being attracted to him / I can learn to love him" route or the "I'm gutted I've lost a friend so that must mean I'm secretly in love with him" route because they both deserve better than that.
And his friend is in a tough spot because he sort of dropped a bomb and changed up the whole dynamic, though with his feelings and unrequited love I get why it reached a breaking point for him. This honestly feels like a lose - lose situation
First of all, I can finally refer to Pyeonghwa by his name, Incheol finally said it damn. I been waiting on that so long. And by god it was such a moment.
Anyway, I looked up the insignia on the uniform and it's the one used by newly commissioned/ junior police officers so my best guess is Pyeonghwa was hallucinating about an older brother figure, possibly a friend or senior closer to his age. Makes me even more curious about him. Like What's your story babygirl? 16 chapters in and we only know 3 things about him:
1. 26 year old gay guy
2. Gym owner and boxer
3 Sadomasochist suffering from CTE
That's it. We dunno shit about him, and so far Incheol hasn't been able to dig up anything on him either. We know just as much about Pyeongwah as Incheol does... (well, except for the fact that he's spiraling into being obsessed with Incheol to the point he doesn't know how to deal with it...but lets not get into that now *cough*)
Second, this was such a great chapter in that while he was lecturing Pyeonhwa about stopping his matches, so he doesn't end up killing himself (which was called for too, let's be real) it was really introspective in Incheol's context like wdym "Doesn't it feel like shit? The fact that you're being used like some arcade game?" just look in a mirror dude (and then he did, controlling the snap he was boutta snap lol).
And the politics part isn't so hard to understand either, it boils down to the fact that his boss and rival are scheming to kick him out of the game by cutting him on intel and telling him to "not come up". You're being scammed. He's so hypocritical, noticing every detail of Pyeonghwa's office and his stance in the matches, but not realizing that his own colleagues are pulling the wool over his eyes. He's so good at his job that he's forgotten what's good for his own self. He desperately needed a wake up call, and I'm so glad that wake up call was (if indirectly) Pyeonghwa. I absolutely loved what the author did with the traffic lights, Pyeonghwa calling Incheol out on his hypocrisy, giving him an apt snarky response, leaving him silenced and unable to retort in a way that'll Get to Him and then letting him go in sync with the changing colors was so brilliant, that was such a highlight for me. Gawddd.
And also The Mayor and Mr. Yoon? New players are entering the game, this gonna make things exciting since the only contact Incheol has had till now was his office, Cha or Rep Lee. This gonna be so good. Please snap at your meeting uncle, we love to see it.
Noticing in Fire Train and this Manhwa's comments a trend of people not understanding the plot at all, which is understandable but a bit sad.
I didnt fully believe the reports that people are becoming less literate and struggling with reading comprehension, but it seems its kinda true. I mean this with love and genuine concern, if you improve your reading comprehension you'll find yourself enjoying the stories even more!
If you find yourself struggling with these stories that combine subtext with imagery, or have plots that you find complicated, try this:
Someone posted a really good summary of the situation so far (gg_23, comment title "you've come a long way, baby). Read that summary, and then go back to this last chapter (or better yet chapter 1) and reread it. See if you can see what gg_23 is talking about in their comment, try and put the story together yourself. Next chapter, try really hard to put it all together. Take notes if you have to, just practice on improving reading.
If youre still in school, how are you doing in classes related to your main language? How youre being taught or how youre learning in those can be a factor in your struggle here. Same for English classes.
Stay strong, you got this!
What if the mom knew something about the ml from Rosa’s past bc obviously they had something going on. The tattoo honestly tells me everything. Anyway, the mom knew something was going on between the two and based on the last panel where Rosa said tht her mom likes everything that she likes, she’s obviously doing this all on purpose. Bc no one just brings home a prostitute and makes them their daughter’s new dad, mind you they’re like the same age. She’s like wanting to take over Rosas life or like try and be her. Idk maybe not it didn’t really seem like tht. But the ml definitely has a thing for Rosa and he’s just being sly with it. Idk
it took 10 years I'm actually sobbing rn tf. what a long way I've come w this man.
this is the first manwha that i’ve read that doesn’t have pink nipples, dick, butthole, pink everything. so refreshing to see （￣へ￣）
THE WAY HIS EXPRESSION MELTS WHEN HUGGING EUNSAN
LOOOOORRRRDDDD.
when they DO fuck, i know it's gonna be so satisfying, we're all collectively gonna sigh a sigh of relief and experience and RELISH that shi
Begging you to go back and look at the panel where we first see the ml jacking off. He stands so far away from the toilet. He's trying to score a 3-pointer or something. Maybe cis men actually jerk off standing multiple feet from the toilet, I've never been one so I wouldn't know. But to me that seems like playing with fire.
Good yaoi
This just occurred to me but, what if the mother is sick in the head and wanted to find a suitable young man for her daughter to marry so she can inherit the company? And that's why the mother is pushing Rosa to spend sm time w him. Like, what if the mother has a terminal disease and wanted to try out the boy her daughter will... Inherit..? Idkkkk THIS IS ALL WEIRD I'M TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF IT
Jinx & Melting point are the only things keeping me sane rn, y'all have a suggestion for a later update cycle? like after the 5,15,25's?
lots of readers of this manhwa are mad and hate this guy and i get why. but i am looking forward to when he finally gets so whipped for the MC. that's the best part of any bl imo
