Someone said this and I also worry: “Suyeon chose to keep the tattoo even though it's been a year. Reminder: in the creator's note they stated that he will remove Gyeol's marks "only if he's truly sure he won't repeat the past." Well. Here we go again. Let's see what happens.“

Repeat the past as in cheating? I’m very doubtful that would happen considering the side stories, his sexual needs are being met and things are well. I wonder what it means if otherwise.

One side of me wanted Gyeol and Suyeon to end up together because I enjoy toxic x toxic, and I enjoyed reading about the controlling abuse from Gyeol, not that I condone it. It’s been a while since I read a story where the bottom gets abused that much, and hitting back at the abuser. My taboo smut list has a lot of abuse, but most are older and nothing new.

Other side of me loves Suyeon healing, and finally being happy. As much as I enjoyed the toxicity, I hated how things were. The smut in CH 52–56 were really nice, cuckold is uncommon sight to see in BL. Interesting how the sex looked hotter before CH 57. Once Gyeol and Suyeon lived together, it felt boring and just plain abuse. Not that I expected it to be happy sunshine…sex without love is never lasting. It’s quick gratification.

I dropped this around the cheating time (ch 46-47), felt heartbroken for Yoonho. I was wondering why Suyeon was being that way, how could he compare Gyeol with Yoonho, and so on. Thankfully his letters past Ch 57 helped me understand. Simply put, Suyeon was self destructive thanks to his shitty father.

I wonder if his father sexually abused him?
It wasn’t clear, but it could be left up to interpretation.
Perhaps it was the non sexual abuse, but I don’t remember.

The side story of Suyeon with longer hair is so gorgeous.
He looked beautiful under the red ropes. I’m glad his sexual needs are being met, but in a healthier way. And I’m glad he found love again, although I felt like it should’ve been more than a year before they reunited.
