This story is soooo well writen. This is not a love story be aware of that while reading. This is psychological. And it do so well that even the reader will be "play by it". If you are sensitive with violence and "gore" this is not a story for you. But you ll get it really soon with the first chapter. I think the "psychology" used is soooo well done I never found a story that picture "violence" so well. I was a victim at some point in my life so seeing a story with a lot of element that you go through in those kind of cycle, don't get me wrong but I like it a lot it was like healing for me somehow XD
Now I will spoiled a little bit so don't read if you didn't see that story! The scene with Bum looking at the door, I had the exact same experience like the door is soooo close but so far at the same time those are the kind of thought you would have a lot! And this was soooo well express in that story! When Bum try to make him a soup and ended up eating it instead. Personaly I didn t go that far but you should know that this kind of thought will happen when on survival mode, your brain start to think "how can I survive and protect my life" those kind of thought seriously scared me sooo much and it is later that I learn it was completly normal and how your brain think like that at some point. When this was included in the story I couldn't help myself How much this story is "real fact"! The first time you are allowed to go outside with supervision. The way Bum tried to protect Sangwoo once at the police station all of those kind of behavior is what happen in those kind of relationship EVERY ONE OF THEM! And when I said that it will also play with you, I m pretty sure I am not mistaken when I say "you also were stress for those two when they were at the police station and every time the police is near Sangwoo, and you were happy and relieved when Sangwoo wasn t arrested" Seeee SEEEEE this is how you would act as a victim you will try to protect you abuser and try to handle the situation by yourself like if you were trap in a bubble and this "atmosphere" you are right in it while reading the story. You may even hope Sangwoo get some help at some point, you will empathize with him, you'll hope he'll be oki once at the hospital and go back at his place in his everyday live with Bum. You may start to think that Bum is the one to save him. THIS STORY WAS WRITEN BY A GENIUS IN PSYCHOLOGY! 10/10 We could think it is strange that a victim would like this story this much but it was helpfull in a lot of ways, I could see the pattern I saw on another light, to give you an example like even if the psychologist told me that it was normal to have those kind of thought about "how should I kill him so I can escape" I was very asshame I thought that I was in fact violent and shouldn't even think about that ever. Seeing it in that story I was supporting Bum I did understand why he did have those thought and wish he could escape, I mean it help me not being so hard with myself because at some point you are just trying to survive. Also I made my brother read it so he could understand my point of view of course I didn't lived with a serial killer who had a thing for his mom XD and of course I didn't have my chin open from one side to the other, but the cycle, the thinking process and the fact that even the reader will get their brain mess up, it was easier for me to explain every part of it!
This story deserved a prize! Not only for picturing abuse so well but it makes you feel soooooo many emotions you will want to know "what next" until the end. The art is good, everything! This story is a masterpiece in itself!
