I kind of get what you mean, but even so i don't think we will mind even if they "fall deeply in love" coz it will be in their own toxic way so it will still fit the manhwa's vibe. Like, seungho is prolly already in love in his own way, and nakyum will just be too overwhelmed to resist seungho's requests but still show him signs of aproval instead of crying and rejecting him.
i honestly do want to see them fall deeply in love. during this time period, for them to be together would be a total taboo, and that's the whole thrill of it all. forbidden passionate love under any circumstances. it's what makes historical genre stories so entertaining lmao. of course, it'll take quite some time to reach that point if it ever even happens.
I don't want them to fall deeply in love. I don't want this to be the typical I hate you/love you story. It's so good till know, I just want more "consistent" twists in the upcoming chapters. Let's have an epic yaoi
