Let’s not forget that he didn’t want to be held down, didn’t want kids to begin with and yet he’s doing his absolute best as both a husband and a father. He’s someone who doesn’t need someone to be content with life and that’s why chayoung needed to step up. It’s not that gyuha is against chayoung or that chayoung has other alphas as competition. His only competition is single gyuha’s lack of stress. Gyuha’s only condition is “don’t make me more stressed out than I was when I was single” and we should ALL strive to be that. He’s the most healthy character in the entire story. Chayoung wasn’t necessarily bad but he’s pushy and like you said, very cold towards others even to the point of being cruel. The cousin is wayyy out of line. He wanted a cute little woman by his side when everyone and their grandma knows that chayoung would have been the worst husband to anyone with less self assurance than gyuha. Gyuha being that way actually forced chayoung to be a good person.
Preach!!!! Please tell them, everyone from the front to the back!!! Exactly my sentiments. People should really be following Gyuha’s example of him already being 100% himself, loving himself and living life to the fullest. Chayoung just hid his bad habits, Gyuha didn’t care to hide what he liked. Why should he give that that good life he built for himself if his partner wasn’t going to make his life better? This is just a fictional story but ideally, I recommend to everyone & anyone, don’t get with someone if they’re going to make you miserable.
But yeah, I love both these characters. Love Gyuha more. I need his family and friends to be more understanding of him. I don’t think that he didn’t want more kids, having a kid is already hard enough for normal women, how hard must it be for a recessive omega man. Like is he supposed to happily risk his life to have another kid, be like “let me get pregnant again, go through the pains of pregnancy and childbirth, possibly making my husband a widow and my already born child motherless because my existence as an omega is having kids which should be my ultimate joy” it just seems misogynistic to me.
Omg you get the word out of my mouth! I like you let me give you a big fat kiss lololol honestly atp people around gyuha were definitely mischaracterizing gyuha just because he look like that but in honesty he’s actually living a very well and good life. Its getting tiring how people are looking at him with such a low value instead of seeing how he is as a person and a very good parent to gyuyoung ( ̄へ ̄)
No I mean he didn’t want the kid he has. He didn’t want the initial pregnancy and asked about abortion and when he found out it’s impossible for his body, he gave up and did his best. He just simply didn’t want kids. If anyone wants the couple to have a second child, they can be a surrogate for them!
You know, you’re right. Tbh I have followed this story for so long I admit I have forgotten a lot of details. I reread the first 5 or so chapters though and I remember why I thought they were rivals. It was because Chayoung was IMO, despite my love for him, such a stalker creep right from the start, and Gyuha really didn’t like him all that much, though I really don’t blame him, Chayoung was really messing with him. and I don’t get why his parents treat Chayoung so well compared to Gyuha himself. Not that they should treat Chayoung bad, but Gyuha isn’t a bad kid, he listens to them & they couldnt answer him when he said “if you felt that way about me, why did you raise me like a normal beta”. Rereading the first few chapters makes me like him even more lol.
It’s because chayoung looks and dresses like a respectable man while being a deplorable creep sometimes and gyuha looks and dresses like a thug bum despite being an actually really good guy! Also I feel like almost all parents secretly wish their kid was literally any other kid than the one they got. I’ve never once seen a parent just completely happy and proud of the child they have. They always want to change something and friends and cousins will always be spoken about fondly like “Awh look at xx’s kid! They’re so amazing! They do XX. Why can’t you be more like that??” Parents just tend to universally suck in that department.

I feel like people don’t give Gyuha enough credit for how wonderful he is as a character. He’s definitely not perfect, there are things he could work on but ultimately he doesn’t even have to…before getting married & having a kid, he was living his life well, he’s young, a man, had a job, why couldn’t he party & be a little crazy? Chayoung was the Same, they tag teamed partners and had orgys together.
People saying he’s always cold, I don’t think he’s cold, I see that he’s more laidback sarcastic. Besides, he and chayoung been rivals or whatever since they were young, they grew up together, their families are rivals too, why would Gyuha be super kind and loving to chayoung with that kind of backstory? Not to mention ML again, wasn’t that nice either. He’s the one who chased Gyuha and proposed being FWBs & made Gyuha bottom.
Anyways, as soon as Gyuha found out he was pregnant, he changed 180. Immediately stopped partying, stopped hanging out with nobodies, stopped eating and drinking bad, the whole 9. It’s shown he barely lets loose and only does when he’s sure his kid is well taken care of. Gyuyoung would not be that wonderful as a kid if Gyuha wasn’t a great parent.
Also chayoung saying “if anything goes wrong he will leave” did yall forget he is obsessively stalking Gyuha 24/7 this whole time? If I were Gyuha, already texting and calling chayoung all the time, already letting him know who I’m with, when where how why, all of that, and find out your husband is still stalking you? That would hurt me because I’m already doing what I’m supposed to do but you don’t trust me or what? I’d leave too. It’s like those dads that ask for a paternity test out of absolutely nowhere. And chayoung knows this; which is why it’s a secret.
If anything Chayoung is more cold than Gyuha. The way he literally didn’t care about Gyuha actually wanting the baby until he found out it was his. He literally doesn’t care about anyone else besides those who benefit him and Gyuha and his family.
But I love both characters, they’ve come so far, they are foils to each other, they know each other the best and they wouldn’t be where they are without both of them 100% understanding and supporting each other to be the best of themselves.
I just want Gyuha to get his flowers too. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I’m not going to argue with anyone, but I’m just so confused why so many people seems to think Chayoung is better than Gyuha or something and Gyuha needs to be this or that or whatever when Chayoung is just as bad if not worse, like who stalks their own spouse secretly? Who does that? Who proposes a FWB deal & gets mad that “Fwb” isn’t loving to you? Chayoung does.
