Chapter 20 Discussion (SPOILERS)

To start, I read Chapter 20 on the Korean Lezhin -> https://www.lezhin.com/ko/comic/paintings (Google has a decent camera translator app that I used to get the jist of what was said.)

To reiterate what has already been explained by others: Seungho returns Na-Kyum's kiss, aware that Nakyum has drunkenly mistaken him for In-Hun. Seungho pins Na-Kyum down, partially undresses him, and fingers him for a little bit before trying to put it in him. However, Na-Kyum cries and tells him that it's his first time and he's scared. He apologizes and asks Seungho (who he's shown to still be hallucinating as In-Hun) to slow down. Seungho, who seems genuinely surprised that Na-Kyum has never had sex despite painting such erotic pictures, expresses his annoyance - the face he makes at this point is hilarious - but relents. It cuts to both of them completely undressed, Seungho spooning Na-Kyum and fingering him from behind with a LOT of lube. He teases Na-Kyum, asking him how it feels, insisting that he can't "help" him if he doesn't tell him. Na-Kyum finally tells him that it "tickles inside", and the chapter ends with Seungho telling him that he'll help him.

One thing I didn't notice until I reread it for the ???th time is, early on in the chapter, after Seungho has pinned N-Kyum down and has been kissing him for a while, he turns and we see the servant (the one referred to as "Kim" in Chapter 17, and how I'm going to refer to him from now on) blushing and looking at them with obvious shock/horror. Seungho sends him away and continues. At first, I thought that Kim had simply stumbled across them, BUT I then noticed the lighting!!!

Kim is holding a lantern that casts a yellow light on everything. From the time that Seungho finds Na-Kyum until he sends Kim away, everything has the yellow tinge from the light Kim is holding. Kim didn't walk in on them, he witnessed EVERYTHING. He saw Na-Kyum drunkenly mistake Seungho for In-Hun and kiss him, and he saw Seungho respond and take advantage of the situation. This makes Seungho's reaction even more interesting to me, since it shows just how absorbed he was in the situation. He seemed to completely forget Kim was there watching until he started undressing, only sending him away as an after-thought.

The other thing that was interesting to me was how turned on Seungho seemed to be. For almost all of his past exploits, he's been shown to be pretty thorough with preparation/foreplay (the one exception being with Jihwa in Chapter 3 when he notes that he's still loose from the night before, so there's no need for preparation). It's also mentioned multiple times that he has a hard time getting hard without Na-Kyum's painting. However, Seungho is nigh desperate/impatient with Na-Kyum - he fingers him for ~10 seconds before he's hard and trying to put it in.

I'm interested to see what happens in Chapter 21, whether or not Seungho is actually going to take it all the way. Na-kyum is still super drunk, but I wonder if he'll finally snap out of it and realize it's not In-Hun right before/during and resist. Will In-Hun find out about it somehow (including the bit about Na-Kyum drunkenly thinking it was him since, again, Kim was there and knows the truth)? Will Seungho have words with In-Hun after witnessing his exchange with Na-Kyum in Chapter 19??

(Also, I'm confused why so many people are suddenly hating Seungho after Chapter 20. Of course I agree that taking advantage of Na-Kyum is wrong, but Seungho has never at any point thus far been shown to be a shining beacon of morality. He jerked him off in Chapter 17 despite his pleading to stop, he's killed a guy for no reason other than to intimidate Na-Kyum into compliance, kidnapped and basically imprisoned Na-Kyum, and was described from the very beginning as being insane and obsessed with sodomy. Why anyone would be surprised by his actions in Chapter 20 is beyond me. Again, not saying it's right, but that's been his character from the start... Have we been reading the same story?)

    You raised a great point about the lighting. I hadn't thought of that. Holy crap. Kim saw the whole thing and Yoon didn't even care.

    Thank you for your explanation.

    I have to agree. This comment is lit!

    Biggest mystery for me still is where did they get the "lube" stuff. Did Yoon have Kim run to the kitchen to fetch some oil.

    Why do I feel like the servants are used to these kind of "requests"? Is there an emergency supply cabinet for Yoon's "special stuff"?

    Life on the Yoon estate: Don't asks questions. When the Master in the dead of night orders one large egg plant, a lot of oil, hot wax, and some whips and ropes, you go GET IT.

    Lol. Good question. I've kind of just assumed that, with his reputation, Seungho/his servants have lube hidden all over the mansion for easy access - under floorboards, behind bookshelves, in vases - specifically for situations like this. "Tactical Lube", if you will.

    Yeah, he was definitely hard at the end of Chapter 16/ start of Chapter 17! It adds to the idea that Na-Kyum, not just his paintings, really gets Seungho going.

    The way I interpreted it was that he was laughing at himself for getting hard - he was staring down at his own crotch while smiling, after all (weirdo). He's been shown to find his own depravity humorous in the past, so I imagine he was probably amused that a "filthy lowborn" could turn him on so easily.

    YES! I could be wrong since I don't speak Korean and am just relying on a translation app, but it seemed like Na-Kyum said In-Hun's name several times leading up to him kissing Seungho. It would have been extremely obvious to both Kim and Seungho that Na-Kyum had mistaken him, so Kim knows his love confession/kiss was not intended for Seungho.

    Lol. I'm pretty sure In-Hun would help guide Seungho's dick into Na-Kyum himself if he was promised a government position in exchange. Unfortunately, he seems to not care one bit for anyone except himself ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    Tactical Lube. Lol, don't look under that creaky floorboard.

    Yoon likely just leaned out the door, looked at Kim down the hall, cleared his throat and gave the sign. A couple minutes later the door slid open enough for Kim to place the lube in the door and was swiftly shut. Or at least that's how I think the lube got there.

    Or maybe Yoon just keeps emergency lube in the sleeves of his robe. You know, for those unexpected situations. I mean, in chapter one he pulled the porn books out of his sleeves. He's probably got all sorts of "emergency sodomy" supplies tucked in his robes.
