omfg thisss and it didnt even protect him because all the pic was, was him being shirtless. which, for a guy IS NOT BAD AT ALL so there was no need for protecting. IF HE JUST TOLD HIM THE FUCKING TRUTH THIS WHOLE WE COULD JUST GET A SLICE OF LIFE AND NO MORE ANGST
That's valid tbh.
Just saying, the photo is a full nude of a porn star that looks very similiar to Nathan of back then, it looks similiar enough that people could easily believe it's him if it was released by David Mack publicly. The manhwa doesn't show it since the chracters are underage at that point.
Lowkey this dynamic is not giving. The author revealed too early the entire backstory of what happened so the mystery with that is gone. It also showed basically NONE of it was Alex's fault except for him being too cowardly to tell the truth or fail to choose another choice to fight the threat. So this also removes the angst bc its simply such a simple fix with just communication and their problem is solved. I just wish the conflict was either more complicated than just "Alex lied to Nathan to protect him" OR the story was paced differently where they reveal the backstory slowly.
