Wait when did the author say that we won't get Nanjo's pov!
I have to apologize, i misspoke, he said : we will get a nanjo P. O. V episode someday, when? The author is not sure, it is written in the extra note here in the manhua, with a nanjo and mokyeon summary profile and that's what the author said exactly word for word: Here’s a small hint. The story’s been from Mok-yeon’s perspective, and since he’s only now dealing with the chaos of a first love (pretty late compared to most), it can be tricky to read Nanjo’s thoughts. But personally, I think Nanjo is actually pretty transparent.
Depending on how you look at it, there might be a twist...or maybe none at all.
All the clues are already in the story. If you step back and reread, you’ll probably notice things you missed. Just don’t fall too deep into the trap of overanalyzing. As for Nanjo, let’s leave it there so you can get to know him gradually. I’ll keep answering character-related questions (the ones I can answer) once we go over their profiles.
The author never said we won't get Nanjo's pov, she confirmed it will come in the extra chapter but she teased that it might not be such a twist because Nanjo is "transparent" and you can guess what he feels from his expression.
Thank you!! It's so refreshing to read such a developed point of view. I'm so tired of -"I don't get it, what happened with Nanjo personality!" -I don't like Mok, he's such a crybaby" -"This must be Mok's dreaming" such basic readers, poor author.
I actually like that we never get Nanjo’s POV. The author has said he won’t write it because his feelings are already clear through his expressions and mannerisms and honestly, he’s been leaving breadcrumbs from the beginning.
Mokyeon’s vulnerability was foreshadowed long before this: he went to Nanjo for a date, and Nanjo himself showed curiosity about Mokyeon’s tattoos and what he does for a living. People don’t usually ask such personal questions without some degree of curiosity or interest in the person. Mokyeon then stayed over watching a series Nanjo had already seen simply because he liked watching Nanjo’s reactions, and even restrained himself when Nanjo suggested sleeping together, literally fighting his own desire because his feelings had become too deep. It took Nanjo seducing and kissing him in the shower for Mokyeon to finally lose control.
Nanjo, meanwhile, initially assumed Mokyeon only wanted sex and seemed irritated when he kept refusing. The kiss while Sunhwa was showering was especially telling: Mokyeon initiated a peck, and Nanjo turned it into a full kiss. Then, when Mokyeon asked if Nanjo had stopped sleeping with Sunhwa because of him, Nanjo’s silence and averted gaze said enough.
Nanjo clearly enjoys the power he now has over Mokyeon, making him cry, lose control, and become completely vulnerable to him. But I think there’s more to it than dominance. Knowing someone genuinely desires and is obsessed with you can be intoxicating, and the red hue in Nanjo’s eyes feels like another clue to his own possessiveness, desire, and growing obsession with Mokyeon.
