Me too! I rolled my eyes so hard at the scene where ML asks MC if "he'd like to feel better" because I KNEW it meant they were about to engage in sexual activity. Boooo! I really hate that cliche of getting down and dirty after a traumatic event, like damn ok. To me it seemed predatory and dubcon. But everything IS consensual. There's a scene afterwards where MC is speaking to the flirty Dr. where he thinks to himself that he wouldn't have done that with anyone but ML. Yeah I felt uncomfortable but MC? He wanted that yellow-flag cookie of a man so bad.
If you are uncomfortable with "just" this, drop it. Cause you won't like what it's to come.
ML IS a good man, but he is not perfect. And MC and him ALWAYS have consensual intimacy, but there is a factor in the equation (a spoiler) that complicates it all.
daanggg I guess I should just stop at at chap 10? that took a bad turn, I get that he's traumatized and all that but does he really think that the uke can cope up with his trauma by being with him in that house? Just when I thought that I have finally found another good work that has pretty art ╥﹏╥ The following events doesn't make sense ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Omg pls spoil meeee pls

ML is a Phantom/Ghost alpha, an alpha capable of turning a beta into an omega. And MC is a Diamond Dust, a kind of beta that emites pheromones (that only Phantom alphas can smell) and also can smell the pheromones of a Phantom alpha.
So when they have penetrative sex for the first time, ML is completely gone doe MC's pheromones, knots MC and with that he "activates" the change. When he comes to his senses, he is horrified with himself. It really was a genuine mistake.
The problem is that he keeps having sex with MC, and he knots him EVERYTIME cause MC LOVES it. If ML doesn't knot him, he asks/begs for it. And with each time, the change goes one step further.
But instead of telling MC the truth about himself and what will happen if they keep doing it, he keeps quiet.
And when MC discovers the truth, he is already 50% changed, so he not a beta nor an omega. And he feels like a monster.
OMG THANKSSS

Wait so ML knows hes a ghost alpha? I read a spoiler here that he didnt know cos his family hid this from him. But i guess him knowing makes more sense. And sorry MC feels like a monster once he knows or ML feels like a monster cos he changed MC this way?

Whoever said that didn't read the novel .
YES, ML knew since he was young and he went to USA to live with a couple, experts in pheromones, who helped him to control his pheromones and the change process.
MC feels like a monsters cause he is not a beta nor an omega at that point (50%).
ML feels terribly guilty since the start, and as time goes by he drinks and smoke more and more and eat less and less. BUT he is always good and caring with MC. His "only flaw" and red flag is the keeping quiet about being a Phantom Alpha and the change he is performing in MC's nature.

Long story short:
They don't breakup, but they go their separate way for over a year. ML goes to USA, as they were planning to do together, and MC goes to Paris (he accept an offer to live and learn in a place for artist where is also Yuna).
After that time MC comes to terms with his situation and doesn't feel like a monster anymore.
MC and ML reunites in France and they start to rebuild their relationship.
At the end of the story MC is pregnant and they do a gender reveal. They'll have a baby girl.
Thank you for the spoilers. I won’t lie not a biggest fan knowing the age gap/ plus the lying by omission / power imbalance doesn’t paint the ML as a green flag as being touted here. In fact it makes him pretty bad for his actions full stop even if it’s ultimately a happy ending.
Thank you so so muchhhh!!!!!
Also can you please share where you read complete English translation of this Novel (all parts)?
Thanks so much for taking the time to write down the spoilers!! Im interested to see how they’ll portray this in the manhwa. Some may not see him as a green flag because of this but i’ve always been into flawed characters anyway haha
So I loved what’s being shown in the manhwa here. I loved it so much, I went to go read the novel. The newest chapter here is chapter 20-25 of the novel.
I need help on deciding whether I should drop this or not lol.
here’s the spoiler: the uke sees his painting, his painting holds very deep trauma for him because he painted it when he was just feeling neglected from his parents as teenagers do, he was 16, the painting represents his loneliness and anguish, his parents so far has not neglected him in any way whatsoever but this is just a little flashback, idk the whole story, anyway…and then right after this painting, his mom died & his loving father abandoned him. So to him, this painting “ruined his life”. Seeing the painting, the uke had a black out panic attack & he wakes up in the ML’s house & everyone else is gone, he has no memory, he just blacked out & woke up in ML’s guest room.
Here’s more spoiler: the novel is written in uke's 1st person perspective so far, it has a lot of details, way more than the manhwa. I didn’t actually read the chapters, I just skimmed to find the chapter to match the book.
The ML takes care of the uke, and the uke is acting all baby to the ML & the ML doesn’t mind, the uke knows too that he’s being a bit babyish, but he catches the ML smiling and whatnot so he feels encouraged to keep up his baby act & he also justifies “I need the ML’s help anyway since I’m in his house, I don’t know anything in here & it’s rude for me to refuse the host’s favor”
He was so baby that the ML had to watch uke brush his teeth, use the bathroom and whatnot because if the ML walked away, apparently the uke would be traumatized again?the uke legit didn’t let ML out of his sight and ML caught uke watching him in the bathroom mirror. To me, this is so weird. Here’s where I’m like, I feel like dropping this cuz why you need someone to watch you do bathroom stuff? But I never been in a trauma situation like that, maybe I’m just spoiled idk…
Anyways, the uke is like “I like this older, smart, handsome, kind, experienced man taking care of me, I will just owe him, he’s so nice, & ML is right, being alone is not safe for me” idk, they both just tacitly agreed without real words & somehow decided uke being alone was dangerous & needed ML to baby him & watch him do his bathroom routine, idk…
To his credit, Uke did try to leave but the ML didn’t let him, the ML justifies uke staying by being like “I know you just went through unimaginable trauma, I’m older, wiser, more experienced, let me help you, trust me, I know how to handle this stuff” (ok ML didn’t say it like this at all, but that’s the feeling I get from uke inner thoughts) and uke is just like “yeah, you’re right” and is in awe of ML, he sees ML for the first time as a very wise, very admirable, very gentlemanly person who’s also very much older than him….like “this is the true power of an older man”
ML even hides the painting so uke can’t see it and get traumatized again. Which is good.
Here’s where I want to drop the story: the ML somehow figures that uke is so traumatized & been letting ML baby the him, ML said/jokes “let me sleep in the bed with you, it’ll make you feel better, you will sleep better blah blah, this is like therapy” & uke is just like “yeah, this is therapy, again, you’re the older smart man, I trust your judgement and you’re right, I probably do need help sleeping” they get into bed together. ML immediately then says “wanna know what’s going to really help you sleep and clear your mind and help you deal with your trauma?” And then it gets sexual.
To me this just seemed predatory and weird, like…I thought he was a green flag? You know this kid is way younger than you, you know he just had a panic attack, has really bad trauma, you know he’s now looking up to you as a mature, trustworthy adult, he nearly reverted to a kid, uke said in his head he felt he was 16 all over again, refers to himself like a lost child, but anyways, ML knows uke is clearly struggling, & being a big baby all in front of him. ML even goes to say “I know you’re not normally like this, if it wasn’t for the trauma you’d never be like this, you’re a very well put together young man normally, this is just a bad day” ok so you know the uke is really in a bad state of mind right now, & that’s…sexy to you? Makes you wanna jump his bones? Idk it’s weird IMO.
This is what I felt reading the book so far, some of yall may interpret it differently. I wanna believe this might be a “let them cook, trust the process” kind of deal but idk… This “green flag” just turned red for me real fast lol.
