think it would be fun to see him an anxious mess (and not just a cynical bastard jflkasdjf)
Guwon threw up because he was actually super nervous about kissing teach. and then he's like "score i pulled that off so well" let's just go with that...yea? yea???!!
minwoo/cheoljin (white hair x tan black hair) is going to be soo good it's killing me that they're not translated yet i'm on the edge of my seat
for formerly top assholes to bottom as revenge porn BUT i really want to see the cousin bottom i love manipulative dominant bottoms please please please
Naw someone needs to put redhead in his place the cousin should humble his ass
POWER BOTTOM THAT MAKES HI
BEG
Same here hoping he’s a true power bottom who has red head crying and begging lol
even though this chapter is seemingly very romantic and it seems like a lot of readers just read it that way (?) i thought there also was this off-ness with brett where hayden seemed really into the date but brett was (understandably) more detached/numb and processing things much more passively than usual. imo it's impressive that the author was able to convey this sense of disquiet!
hayden's belief that the boundaries bw fantasy and reality are very blurry is SOOO LIBERAL ARTS like hello were you my classmate..being with hayden is definitely a kind of escape for brett and the fantasy is both real but also kind of fake since we know that hayden is actually being kept in the dark re. everything that has been happening. like we get these pockets of romantic fantasy every time hayden adn brett meet up but we know they are not actually on the same wavelength
brett musing about what hayden has given him when hayden gave him a safeword..in the past brett preferred that things were out of his control/hayden acted unpredictably bc that's what represented freedom was for brett but now imo he's realizing that hayden gave him freedom through CHOICE (via safeword) - i think that's kind of the beginning of a real paradigm switch for brett. but there's still a whole host of issues to contend with between them (including hayden's overly romanticized version of events, still). a real calm before the storm-type chapter.
so real..i'm excited to see more of sunbae's personality beyond happy himbo
having read the raws they will stay that way they're both flawed characters (younger guy being a bit pathetic and too lovelorn so he's passive and tortured/on the brink of tears all the time; older guy being stubbornly blind and maybe even cold with people's feelings - even as he indulges them) i do think the author captures the angst of forbidden longing pretty well
but OMG is the older brother hot as hell if there are any other series where characters like him bottom (confident, competant, handsome, naturally dominant easygoing types) let me know~
