Where can I see the raws? Link?
I read the novel a while ago so I might be getting a few details wrong or the order of the story. The story is long and it’s very much slower and just an FYI. [spoiler] The mom asks Seju to take care of her son bc she knows that Sejin is in love with Seju and she knows she isn’t going to get better. I believe she writes Seju a letter saying how her son is a good kid but can be a bit rough and that she knows it a lot to ask but if he could take care of Seju (like as in a dating implication not guardian). The mom ends up dying from cancer and it emotionally destroys the son. He ends up missing his entrance exam that he was preparing for because she dies like a week or so before the exam. Seju ends up paying for all the hospital bills and their loan making sure that Sejin is taken care of. He used the money that was meant for his sister‘s college fund I believe. He doesn’t Sejin to know this though. The funeral home scene is extremely sad but Seju does his best to be there for Sejin and pays for everything to make sure it goes smoothly. He also asked some of his workers from the mafia business to come to the funeral service because no one attended, and he was getting no money in the funeral cup. That typically relatives will put after a family member dies.
Sejin gets depressed that his mom dies and Seju has to leave the house for a week to take care of business. When he gets back, he finds Sejin in his room sleeping in his bed it figures out that Sejin likes him and runs away. Sejin finds the paperwork showing that Seju paid all their loans and hospital bills under the lie that the mother’s work was paying for it. When the work would’ve never paid for it because they wouldn’t have allowed her to leave to this specific inexpensive hospital unless she settled the debt. So the debt was settled because Seju said you paid for it all. Once he finds out that Sejin likes him, they go through a real rough patch because Sejin won’t take back his feelings even though Seju wants him to pretend he never liked him. There’s a big fear that if Sejin gets too close to Seju that Sejin will want to know about him which includes all the horrible things he had to do being part of the mafia. Basically, he’s worried that Sejin will leave him and never see him as a good person ever again if he knows about all the stuff Seju’s done. To the point where Seju won’t come home if Sejin keeps liking him and pursuing him. At one point, Seju kicks out Sejin who waits by the elevator hoping Sejin will pass by him and allow him back into the house. So yea we have a while to go before things get better so to speak. They do get together, but it takes a lot of time, especially because Seju draws really strong boundaries against Sejin whenever Sejin Tries to pursue him or talks about his feelings to Seju.
There’s also a side plot about Seju’s psycho mafia boss and him needing to be smart so he doesn’t get killed because someone betrayed the president. They think it’s Han Jonghyun who is about to say Seju’s name which would make him guilty by association, because he witnessed Han in the same area as the president’s rival. So Seju kills Han before he can say his name because he doesn’t want to be guilty, which would then harm Sejin. Seju can’t betray the president, because when his sister got bullied and committed suicide, he went to the president to get revenge. But by doing so he essentially sold his soul to the president to do whatever the president wants. [/spoiler]
I realize my comment didn’t properly put the spoiler tag in and hide the spoiler. I can’t delete or edit my comment so really sorry to anyone who read without spoiler tag. So for anyone who reads this before my first comment please ignore my original comment unless you want to be spoiled
Thank you! Thank you very much!!!
I truly needed this!
So there is a long way yet....
Thank you! Does the relationship stay platonic?
lol no, they get together. It just will take a while because Seju is stubborn and doesn’t want anyone to know he’s a killer. They only get together once before the officially story ends, but there’s tons of side story chapters. The side stories have a lot of smut and you get to see their relationship blossom
Whoa thank you! Assuming Seju is the bottom
Yes, of course he is!!!
I already saw the raws.
Can someone spoil me the novel?
