if this is all just written for the sake of dohyeok hitting rock bottom as "punishment". it'll be the biggest waste of the incredibly interesting chemistry between siwoo and dohyeok if that's how it ends...but hearing news about how this is ending soon, i have a feeling we won't be getting a satisfactory ending and that the author doesn't rly know what they're doing :/

so many bottoms in manhwa are either just perfect naive little angels OR they "seem" strong at the beginning but then cave immediately/get pushed around by the top, so it's SUPER satisfying to see characters like dohyeok and how there is ACTUAL friction between the two MLs, both of whom have super strong, stubborn personalities. if you want some normcore love story b/w two morally righteous ppl there are so many options out there; leave this one alone for us!! <3

dohyeok initially called for siwoo bc he was rattled after that encounter w/ the green grey hair dude. the issue is that though he clearly has feelings for siwoo and views him as a source of comfort and safety, he doesn't recognize his own feelings bc he's not self-aware and also has never been in love. so the way he expresses his feelings is through wanting to dominate and keep siwoo close (hence the threats).
dohyeok is also SO used to a world of dog eats dog/strong vs weak that he constantly just needs to assert control and dominance (esp after his incredible loss of control after being r/ped); so him running his mouth and saying all that shit is both his personality AND also probably some product of his ptsd (desire to assert control). anyways i personally think all of this makes dh interesting and fun to read about!!

do we think dohyeok is going to eventually find out that siwoon saw the tape/what happened to him? i could see dh finding out and thinking that sw started avoiding him out of disgust...like imo dh would probably feel SO humiliated (it would be super devastating for someone as prideful as dh)
i can't really see dh telling sw himself since he's so prideful, unless he just has a massive panic attack breakdown. i could see the green hair dude being nasty enough of a plot device to tell dh that he showed sw the tape...
idk i just wonder if dohyeok will really have to hit rock bottom before he starts changing + siwoon starts really viewing him differently :/

oh no you're right i can see that happening bc otherwise introducing that random siwoo npc admirer makes zero sense unless it's as a plot device :/ yea i have a feeling the author is going to keep making dohyeok suffer a lot...and sw being continuously more and more cruel towards dh even as he feels conflicted...dh being lovelorn while also having ptsd yikes yikes i just hope his career isn't also just going into the dumps to add onto everything he's got going on
i can do angst but i just hope the author doesn't make it too ooc, bc i love that dh is very strong and stubborn and prideful, i hope he doesn't just become this pathetic character lol. i wonder when doheok is going to become aware of his own feelings and admit to himself that he likes siwoo and what he'll do after that..

and omg it just gets worse and worse b/w dh and sw lol...i wonder how the author will actually end up getting them to fall in love without at least another 30 more chapters. but side stories usually aren't that long right? the only way i can see it happening is if there's some time break and they reunite in the future or something after growing/reflecting on their own. idk i'm so invested in them...even if the writing isn't convincing i hope they can get together in the end haha..also more kinky sex pls ;)

dh being wary of crowded places and also not eating (maybe he's scared of vomiting during sex again or just ptsd in general..) he's sooo traumatized omg but he's so prideful and would never admit it to anyone or confront it?? i feel like he's confused about his own ptsd symptoms...wonder what will happen when he realizes that sw knows what happened and whether sw will ever just ask dh straightforwardly.
also omg dh being super jealous and unconsciously dependent on sw; sw still being confused and thinking dh is toying with him..sw being nice enough to stay over but still leaving in the morning, still keeping his distance and being cold...

anyone reminded of pride and prejudice? dohyeok's arrogance and pride stopping him from expressing his actual (growing) affection and reliance on siwoon (imo his feelings are really obvious now) and instead everything he actually says is a threat and nasty LOL (bc he thinks threatening siwoon is the only way to keep siwoon) meanwhile siwoon is aware of dohyeok's trauma and maybe his own concern for dohyeok but keeps telling himself dohyeok is a horrible person who deserved what he got so he purposefully is cold towards dohyeok. so instead of understanding that dohyeok acts out also due to his ptsd siwoon sees all of dohyeok's lashing out as confirming his bad character. SOOO excited to see how this plays out i'm obsessed w/ the dynamics
the size difference is ridiculous so when the bottom is talking such a big game it's just funny and i can't take him seriously because he's so easily just thrown around and has no leverage at all...
He submitted his whole fate on a silver platter. Talk about touching sky.
