MC hate is misplaced, ML is NOT innocent

Please give me spoilers. Does the mc and the secretary have sex? And does the ml know?

this must be rage bait… ain’t no way the only problem the main lead has is being too dumb in love for not ditching who doesn’t deserve him. mc’s a victim sure but he’s also someone who keeps beating the ml for everything and not hear him out or believe him but he is still okay to hear that criminal of a secretary out and bandage him up after all that sh!t show. we don’t need to read korean to see what’s happening in the raw’s lol. mc was still able to pity and bandage the secretary, that’s why people are angry. wasn’t the mc supposed to not like alphas? look at where he is now: probably pregnant with a rap!st alpha baby. yeah, no. disgusting the way this story is going. main lead is too good for this.

So they did have sex?

the secretary raped the mc after using some drugs and mc got his heat. it wasn’t consensual. the ml went there to protect the mc but it was too late and we just see ml calling the mc and mc scared to let ml see what happened and then season 1 ended lol

You have got to be kidding me......................

Wow I'm lost for words. Huge disappointment.

bruh... wdym we don't need context to make judgement? whether MC knows if the secretary drugged him or not makes the BIGGEST difference. If he doesn't know he was drugged, that means he might've thought his heat came naturally and his pheromones influenced secretary to have sex with him. I could see why he bandaged the secretary up if he thought HE was at least partially responsible for the incident that happened because of HIS pheromones. Also idk where MC's ever abusive of ML?? Did we read the same story??? Other than a lil bantering and rough playing I would say MC is pretty soft to the people he cares about, although his cold exterior might mask that sometimes. Let's not forget he saved ML's LIFE. Even ML himself admits that MC lets him get away with EVERYTHING. I would be on your side 1000% if MC forgives the secretary after he finds out he was drugged, but it's wayyy to early to make any conclusions.

ALSO the miscommunication is not from the MC. When did MC not hear ML out? MC straight up asked if ML would give up the fight for chairman with him and he gave a flat out no with NO explanation. NO "I have to do this because of our bet". NO "I'm doing this for us to be together". What is the MC supposed to think? Yea lemme give my competition an even greater advantage by having his baby, fuck my dream, goals, and aspiration. What pisses me off is that ML KNOWS how much this position means to the MC and the insecurity of being beat out by an alpha just because they're alpha. Him becoming chairman would be the biggest FUCK YOU to the MC. Not sure how ML is better than the MC if he's ok with causing so much distress to the person he claims to love. He's literally love-rotted delulu idiot and yall are eating it up for what? Cause he's romantic? What's the point if he can't help the person he loves in any meaningful way?

Why am I getting the sense that you're blaming the MC if he ends up with a rap!st alpha baby??? How is any of this his fault other than trusting the person that thought was loyal to him?

even if mc is a victim as said before he still kept seeing that disgusting piece of sh!t of a secretary even after all the warnings from the main lead. he can trust that bastard (your words) but not the main lead, so cute lol. also you saying that it’s okay for the mc to bandage and be there with the secretary for who knows how many minutes/hours after that disgraceful act (it was a lot of time because Hyeondo had time to get there) as calm as ever, dressing himself and ready to hear him out because maybe he thinks he’s responsible because of the heat, no that’s not how it works and you’re just blind. so he can hear the secretary out but not Hyeondo?
ml confessed, always treaded the mc well all that just to be taken as a fool and a joke (and beaten up but i guess for you that doesn’t matter).
you don’t need to worry because mc will get to be to be the chairman just as you want, i just don’t think it’ll be worth in the end but hey that’s what you want i guess.
also you calling the ml a love-rotten delulu idiot (at least he’s not a rap!st and respects whom he loves) when he’s just a fool in love with a big heart and then asking why we eat it out? maybe because he’s still the best character on this story and almost everyone agrees. you can just hate the main lead and go.
stay tuned to see the amazing cliché of the mc forgiving the secretary because he will think the baby will be his and not from the one who loved him from 10 years. bravo, amazing plot
i hope you’re happy with how this turned out. bye.

i wish i was but chapter 31 is there… the author is getting eaten alive on their X account, even Koreans are angry with how this went. author’s first work and then this happens. not a good idea at all. people are not supporting them anymore and season 2 will probably be a flop

this story was so good as it was, but at the end of the day they will let that disgusting thing slide. what’s worse in all this is that there’s no hashtags in the korean platforms warning for this and for a possible love triangle but they said this was planned since the beginning. there’s not even a trigger warning for that chapter even when we can all see the dubcon. it was awful. for the author it wasn’t that bad i guess. the secretary is the second main lead in their mind so this will be all forgiven and who knows if they don’t make them end up together because of the possibility of a baby be from the rap!st. just horrible.

Nah I know what happened in the latest raw chapters. I've seen the chapter but just can't believe why the OP would think we wouldn't have beef with the MC after what just happened. Look, the MC after everything that has happened has always showed more concern and trust for the secretary than towards the ML who he has known for 10 freaking years. I know that he saved his life year ago and it's something to swoon over but let's be honest, if it was the ML that did what the secretary just did, he would have gone more ballistic than this and even say the ML was trying to baby trap him. The secretary had previously almost assaulted this man and that didn't give this idiot any sign that this man is volatile and can do anything if not in his right senses. That didn't give him any thoughts of I don't know LIVING SOMEWHERE ELSE?!! Even after he was almost assaulted, he still kept living with him. He spent his heat with the ML and left not a moment too soon because of "oh the secretary must be waiting for me back at home. He must be lonely." Do you know how insulting it was for the ML when the man he loves, who just spent his heat with him is leaving immediately to go be with another alpha who lives together with him?? Who he knows has feelings for the MC? Why didn't he question why his heat came back after he just spent it with the ML? He has been spending it with the ML all these years and nothing like this have ever happened. This idiot can't put two and two together about why his heat came back after drinking the water the secretary gave him?? This man is always praised for being smart and intelligent but he always loses his marbles when it comes to the secretary. So no I don't like victim blaming but the MC saw all the signs but choose to ignore them all. The only blame the ML had was lack of communication. That's it. He's not a rapist. Not a schemer or deceiver like that fuckface.

Yeah ml at least is not a freaking rapist. Tbh the secretary thinks he is some kind and good human being and then he does this? I'm lost of words tbh. This kind of act is very weird for the secretary also if he did this willingly. I'm very disappointed. I thought this omegaverse will be different and there will be no rape like all the others. But here we are with the most disgusting rape scene. Mc kind of betrayed the ml also. How can be live with another alpha? I used to like him a lot but now I kind of hate with how he is treating the ml who deserves much better than this.

I know of another manhwa where after the ML and the MC had sex together, the ML's friend called him and he immediately left the MC to go see the friend. Everyone was pissed in the comments saying the friend has to be a fuck buddy cause why did he leave the MC alone afterwards to go and see him. But here the MC is doing the exact same thing and the secretary didn't even have to call him for him to ditch the ML and go back to him. No matter what, the readers always have a less favorable attitude towards MLs than MC's when they do the same thing. Like after every mistakes and contradiction the MC of his manhwa has done, this OP still finds a way to make it the ML's fault when the only thing he has ever did wrong was lack of communication and loving and devoting his entire life to the MC

Yeah I know. Most people are much more lenient to the mcs always. Even if they are promiscuous they brush it of as a "power bottom" but if the ball is in the other court than the ml is a red flag and BLA BLA BLA. After all the things the alpha did he didn't deserve this mistreatment. The omega is basically insulting the ml's feelings. I didn't expect from this. I feel bad for the ml. He deserves so much better. My mood is literally spoiled because of this trash.

yeah i was rereading the chapter where the mc left the ml after they passed mc’s rut together and the way the mc’s behaved was so not it. he was super cold to the ml, left not saying that much and ignored the breakfast the ml made for him just because the poor disgusting secretary was sad because the mc didn’t didn’t eat pizza with him. wtf is that bullshit. the way the main lead was also so sad and thinking that the mc doesn’t like him that much and maybe he mad some mistake, he was very hurt. i don’t judge him because if i had passed the night with someone i love so much for such a long time just for the other to ditch me like i don’t matter i would also think that that person doesn’t like me either. mc left the ml just like that, like the ml is just an object to be used when heats happen. horrible. atp maybe the mc just likes the secretary more because ain’t no way the author make it seems like mc likes ml and then he does all this shit to him who only treated him with respect and love all this time.
i saw there’s somehow a regret tag but i’m not even sure if it’s for the mc or for the ml who didn’t even do anything bad to be regretful besides not communicating better. now he’ll be even more hurt because we know the author is going to put some “who’s the daddy” drama but i hope Hyeondo leaves the mc by then. he doesn’t need any of this.
the op that wrote all that about the ml just doesn’t care tho and is just a ml hater.

this is just bad writing. mc is not written well and is full of contradictions. watch mc probably defend that rapist of a secretary next chapter and hurt the ml even more

the mc is raped by his secretary

Yeah for sure that's going to happen. But if it was the ml then he would have cut ties with him already. It's soooo stupid. Ml deserves better and I hope that he lets go of him. The mc should regret and know what he lost.

First of all, the ML constantly remembers the bet because his life revolves around the MC. ..

He remembers everything that happened between them and clings to the bet as his only hope to win the MC’s heart. Cause
For ten years, the MC treated the ML selfishly, ignoring his feelings, while the ML stayed loyal and devoted.

If the MC had shown him even a little bit of love, he wouldn't have clung to that (silly and stupid bet, as you say)

Meanwhile, the MC’s priority has always been the company first, and his Alpha friend last. ..(If it was a priority in the first place)
So he tries to compete for it fairly because he think it’s the only way to win him...

but here’s the contradiction:
the MC doesn’t want to be underestimated, yet wants the Alpha to give up everything for him...

The shares and position weren’t gifts for being Alpha—they were earned by the ML’s hard work, which the MC fully knows...

The lack of communication is the main cause of their conflict, but not the ML’s fault for the MC’s stupidity, contradictions, and misplaced trust...
These contradictions make him impossible to sympathize with:

He hates all Alphas, yet trusts the secretary who assaulted him.
While after every heat cycle with the ML, he treats him as nothing and prioritizes only his own feelings...

And he completely ignores the ML’s loyalty and devotion.. and he didn't believe anything he said anyway..

He expects him to sacrifice everything while he keeps the company as his sole focus...

All of this makes the MC infuriating for me ..

Regarding the rape scene: it doesn’t matter what anyone says about whether he seemed to enjoy it or didn’t fight the secretary hard enough. ..
That was rape, clear and simple, and the MC didn’t consent—even if the author didn’t provide a warning...
( i don't know why )..

What matters here is showing the MC’s awful contradictions: trusting the bastard secretary and staying with him despite past harassment...

After the rape, it’s treated like nothing unusual. ..
So what is this? Treating someone who truly loves you with cruelty and neglect, while the rapist is treated differently?

And it’s obvious that he knows the water was the problem. You can see it from the mc’s reaction when that secretary said he would bring Heat inhibitor. So the situation must have become clear to him by then—unless his head is just for decoration.

I’m certain in the upcoming chapters we’ll see the MC forgive that bastard and stand against the ML, prevent him from hurting the secretary ...
since the “who is the daddy” drama is coming
And because the ML is clearly not his priority..and I will never be convinced that he actually loves him...
At most, it’s just attachment built over years of familiarity.
That would also explain why he didn’t want the ML to see him in that state.
In the end, no one like hurting their loyal dog..

So just stay with the secretary and leave the ML alone. End of story...

But I'm not the author to decide... If I were, I would have ended the story with their complete separation.

Nah I just realized something right now. Not only is the MC full of contradictions but he's also a flat out horrible human being. He has known the ML since they were kids. Kids! He has been using this man for his heat periods for so long. The ML also has a well off family from what I can see. Not to the MC's status but close. But you're telling me that the ML never thought to go out there and make something of himself because of his love for the MC? All this adoration and devotion, love and prospects are all for the MC. He's working in his company when he could so easily start up his own and be successful because he wants to be near the MC and help him in anyway he can. This man could be a literal CEO on his own but he's here working as the MC's subordinate for so many years because he is crazy over him. And after years of being fuck buddies, he still haven't received any signal or label on their relationship. Imagine being used and stuck in this limbo of a relationship for 10 whole years. But whenever MC is about to go into heat or just blow off some steam, he goes and uses the ML for his pleasure and turns around to distrust and undermine his feelings. Imagine being friends since they were kids and can't even trust him after all these years even though he has given you no reason for such distrust. And let's not talk about the fact that ML didn't agree to give up his entire connection and shares in the company for him cause why should he? Even though he does that, the other shareholders would not change their behavior towards the MC because he wouldn't have won those shares through hard work. It would be because hyeondo gave it to him. They might even say that he as an Omega got those shares from hyeondo because he slept with him. That's why hyeondo said no. Because he knows that giving it up willingly wouldn't change the shareholders bias. But winning through hardwork and strength is what the MC needs and what is best for him in the company
