they don’t have sex (or start dating) until near the very end of the main story… in the novel, they only talk in the car and jeongwon decided to stop putting distance between them. they even have a sleepover at haewoon’s place later but nothing happens. at some point, haewoon starts being distant with jeongwon because he gets an “uncomfortable feeling” in his heart and starts reflecting. he even asks his groupmate hyung for advice. he confesses to jeongwon first after he finally realizes his feelings. so i’m a little worried about the direction of this manhwa now that they decided to insert this new development instead… it feels like they’re putting in smut just because the original novel was lacking in it (the wet dream jeongwon had a while ago never happened in the novel either)

all novel readers just fell to our knees
