I would read a story about Hyobum and what comes next for him. He went through so much awful shit and his misdirected anger was pointed at Yoo-il (I’m pretty sure Yoo-il didn’t introduce him to the evil guy, though). But Hyobum was trying so hard to be better, get clean, get away from the drugs. A really telling thing is that, even though the two of them didn’t get along, Yoo-il always insisted Hyobum wasn’t the kind of guy to willingly get involved in those kinds of things, and he was totally right. I think his character arc is the most interesting part of the whole story tbh.
Spolier-filled Hot take: Hyobum had more character development than both Yoo-il and Soobin combined.
(also didnt Yoo-il introduce that predator to Hyobum? Yoo-il is was difficult to root for. Both him and Soobin.)
The art was so cute and wonderful, but the story just didnt have... good flow. I could even argue that Yoo-il and Soobin are the real villains of this story, treating hyesung like an object they can win. There arent a lot of emotional points/arcs in the story that really focus on developing their romantic relationship. It's always "wow he's so hot" and then what? He's hot and? What else do you like about him? I found myself asking that a LOT until the end lol. I just wish they had more chemistry.
