Some novel bits

Hello there, I'm here to share this, as someone who read the novel and thought to share this for non novel readers since there's some alterations that was made in the manhwa. I just think some of you might appreciate this chapter more if you learned some of the changes.

Did you know throughout the time Chase and Josh is talking, in the novel, Pete was actually carried by Josh but he was sleeping?? Here's some of the scenes in the novel


*When Josh said the truth about the dog, the manhwa omitted the detail of Chase saying that Grayson is only “faking” emotions

"I was looking for you..." "You're finding me? Me?"

"Yeah."

When Josh asked in surprise, Chase covered his face with both hands and let out a trembling sigh.

"Since no one showed up and I couldn't find any traces, I was wondering if you really did it with a dog."

"No!"

Josh urgently stopped him.

"You never did it with a dog, Chase."

It was visible to see Chase flinch and freeze. Unable to hide his disappointment, Josh continued.

"Grayson lied."

Chase slowly lowered his hand. The shock was clearly visible on his face. Josh kissed his forehead affectionately.

"He just did it to scare you because you kept refusing..."

"That damn bastard, I'm going to kill him!"

It was just as Chase suddenly shouted and sat up.

Pete, who had been dozing off behind him as if tired, was startled and burst into tears again. Josh hurriedly picked the child up and began to soothe him.

"Watch your mouth, in front of the kid."

At Josh's words, which were a rare instance of a sincere warning, Pete was taken aback.

Chase kept his mouth shut. However, the surging anger was too great to simply suppress. He sprang to his feet and began pacing back and forth in circles.

"He said he did it for your sake." Josh relayed the message, even though he didn't believe it himself. Immediately, Chase stopped walking and glared at him with a terrifying look.

"Grayson doesn't know what emotions are. He's just faking them."

Josh spoke again, watching him shrug his shoulders in anger.

*Josh teased Chase about his face more in the novel!!!

"It's fine." Chase asked, gazing blankly at his son as he closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

"Wasn't he a friend you cherished?"
"He was."

Josh gave a wry smile.

"It looks like he likes your face better now."
". ..."
"Aren't you happy?"

At the unexpected silence, Chase suddenly cast an annoyed look.

"Just like you, right?"
"Me?"

When I asked why, Chase gritted his teeth.

"You only like me because of my face anyway."

Josh flinched. Chase spat it out as if he were holding back his anger.

"You only like my face, so you're exactly the same. Aren't you?"

I barely managed to hold back the urge to ask what was left of him besides his face.

This wasn't the time for jokes.

"You idiot."
"What?"

Chase immediately snapped. Josh gave a wry smile and said,

"That's you, too."
"... ..."
"That's all you have."

Josh joked, emphasizing it once more.

*Pete getting sandwiched between Chase and Josh when they were kissing, my personal fav part


For the first time, he looked nervous. He opened his mouth and took a deep breath, then Josh finally confessed.

"...I love you."

Chase's eyes widened.

"Ah,"

Josh realized. He had never once said these words sincerely until now.

"I love you."

He said it again, as if making a declaration. Why hadn't he known until now how sweet these words were? Just as he thought that, Chase suddenly pulled him into a hug. Their lips met, and their tongues intertwined fiercely. Rough breaths poured into Josh's mouth, and he could instantly feel the pheromones filling his nose. Pure

Just as his consciousness drifted faintly away, Chase pulled his lips away. He blinked as he saw Josh's dazed face staring blankly at him. He recognized this face. Chase let out a short sigh. It was the man he had seen in his dream.

"It really was you,"

Chase whispered in a faintly trembling voice. He tried to kiss him again, but Chase overlooked the fact that there was a child between them.

"Waaah..."

Pete, woken from his deep sleep by being caught in the middle, burst into tears again. Chase panicked and as he hurriedly stepped back, Josh burst out laughing.

"You'll get used to it soon, the fact that you have a child."

Josh kissed Chase, who was looking at Pete with an awkward expression. Lightly biting his lower lip and letting go, he touched his ear and said,

"This is what you left behind back then, too."

Chase's gaze fixed on the spot. Josh continued quietly.

"It wasn't expected, but I'm grateful. Thanks to you, I gained Pete... and it's all the happiness you gave me.”
