But I still think there has to be some growth on Hyuns side as a person, because, to me, as a humble reader, hes starting to walk a thin line between being a silly cutie and being annoying with his childish tantrums (especially at the end of Chapter 22).
Like theres a good chance hes 24 (23 if he was born later in the year, or younger if he hasn't done his military service yet, like many Korean men who enlist after their first year of university) and already in the latter half of his 3rd year of uni (judging by the uni convos) so some point, you need to get a grip, brother.
Where did you find chapter 23? I got to chapter 22 last week on the (fake) newt*ki site but now no user outside of South Korea can access it (VPNs don't work) and no other raws site ever updatessss (and Lezh*n KR basically stole my money once so no way am I buying anything off of it ever again). Thanks for listening to my rant lmao
And also, whose big brother was that? Too much time has passed in between the chapters and I don't remember anything about their background, help
Also I agree that there needs to be a bit of character development on Hyun's side. He's INCREDIBLY cute don't get me wrong, but lately it's beginning to get a bit toxic due to his possessiveness
I bought it (first time buying a manhwa, low-key, it hurted me when I spend coins for a chapter and was just sex with almost zero plot progression lmao. Turns out smut is way cuter when you don't have any coins on the line)
And that's Hyun's older brother, the one Jiwon thought was dead. It was mentioned before that Hyun's apartment used to be his brother's, and that his brother spent most of his time in the hospital, which is why their parents paid more attention to him than to Hyun.
I see, I'm just gonna resign myself to waiting for the translation then. I already spend too much on korean novels, I can't afford to buy manhwa chapters as well TT (L*zhin, Bomt*on and MrBl*e are WAY too expensive come on, I can buy a short novel with the money spent on like 20 of their coins!!).
Anyway, thanks for answering! I totally forgot about the brother part lmao
The whole breaking into Jiwon's apartment, waiting like a loyal puppy, and then bursting into tears and throwing a tantrum when Jiwon talked him out of it in chapter 22 lowkey gave me the ick.
Like you said hes incredibly cute and still better than the closeted homosexual sunbae but idk its too much sometimes, sure you're young but NOT that young. Not trying to yuck Jiwons yum (because hes into that bratty behavior despite being in denial), but some personal growth wouldnt hurt
You're welcome, i understand that we all have to choose our priorities.
*Theres only a 3-chapter gap between the Korean release and the unofficial translation anyway, so the wait shouldnt be too long (and you'll probably find me screaming into the void about spoilers in the comments since none of my friends read this manhwa a
and I have no one to discuss it with lmao).
Idk why this site cut that part out of my previous comment
Let me have another yap session here because none of my friends read this gem, unfortunately.
Finally, some good food in Chapter 23... Jiwon is finally starting to fall for him for real. Hyun has been down horrendously these past few chapters while Jiwon was as chill as a cucumber, so its nice to finally see some progress on his side.
Also, the big bro finally appeared! Icl i didnt expect him to be a baddie, especially with his hospital and illness backstory.
