i adore that study room and how much it meant to gene. the translucent curtain bellowing in the wind, as the window lets light into the room...it's a beautiful location. i understand why the author kept referring back to that location.
i love how emotionally significant that place was, too. it was quite literally where gene came of age, sexually and mentally...it's also the first gift that trevor gave him to convince him to stay.
that final scene with jean hit different. it almost made me want to cry again

I'll make sure to continue reading bingsoo cat cafe translations. Comparing the MTL to theirs, there's definitely a noticeable difference---a certain "oomph" that they give to each scene which isn't present within the rushed MTL's. I treasure any translation teams that are able to dedicate their time and effort into providing quality translations for the rest of us readers over here.
Having read the notes for the latest chapter, I hope the team isn't too discouraged. I know that I will continue supporting you guys, no matter what!

I love how the two are so different and yet are...surprisingly similar? I can't quite put my finger on it...but I think it's in the way that they look at their respective identities. Both Shion and Rei are isolated from their peers. Both harbor doubts over their futures/ambitions. They were able to show their most vulnerable selves when they're together, and I think that's lovely.
Also, the longer I think about it, the more I find that I love Shion as a character. He's a surprisingly complex character, and it's great, because you wouldn't normally get that from effeminate male characters, especially with how he's initially portrayed as the "I want a boyfriend!" type of person. I mean, he *is* that type of person, but he's also more than that. He's idealistic and a romantic, can get whatever because of how *focused* he is on what he wants...and yet he's also a bit insecure, even lonely because of how strongly he presents himself to everyone else. Shion's a lovely character and I absolutely adore him. Introspective MCs for the win.
Jigu’s such a hot mess around Yeowoon—dude was absolutely *struggling* with those text messages.
