Guys just because you favor Ideum doesn’t mean that whole beginning section of this manwha doesn’t exist. If we are going on “no consent” then Ideum was the first one to sexually harass Jaeyi. It has gotten so bad that he was affected by the inability to get fresh air because he would keep seeing Ideum masturbating. He was getting headaches. All worked out because Jaeyi felt attracted to him.
They are fwb because Ideum wants a better understanding of the kinks and sex in general he fantasizes. Somnophilia is definitely something he has written about because he is simply a pervert like that which now Jaeyi can relate to and match. It seems like it’s less of the act and more so Ideum craving affection in a romantic way. He keeps cutting himself off from the thought but it’s getting there that he wants more.
Tdlr: if you cared about consent and sexual assault, both sides are guilty of it.
fr, what ideum did at the beginning is literally a crime punishable by law—indecent exposure.
Funnily enough, this one of the few cases where because the character is a bottom people don’t think they are capable of assault and can’t do no wrong
I thought there was a chance that Ideum’s old crush was potentially Jaeyi’s brother. But nope they haven’t met before. His brother gives creep vibes, I hope he doesn’t hurt Ideum. He has been taking steps in his confidence so would be sad if that got held back.
I’m mostly hoping that the brother’s involvement will make Jaeyi realize his romantic feelings and make it official.
Each of them are guilty in causing someone harm and/or discomfort. They also have their own layer of obsession. Either mc will decide that this is a wake up call enough to end his current “relationship” but I worry that he will just end his life.
Or maybe the ml will force to realize that he and the “ex” are not that different. Thus he treats mc better because unlike the ex, he actually holds an affection for mc because he felt seen in his music that only mc understands.
Maybe the author will surprise me, but I do see those two being endgame regardless and coming to better terms in how they started out. The usual. But would be interesting to see if mc just focuses more on himself because I do see hints of religious trauma in this chapter.
People are saying they don’t like the uke not saying anything about the last chapter. But do you really expect him to? His mental is down the drain. I wouldn’t be surprised that he accepted what happened because it’s with the artist he thought he can have a serious relationship with. We also still don’t have his thoughts on the aftermath. We focused more on the Seme’s mentality this chapter and how he is the one now desperately grasping on.
Maybe next chapter we will see what happened between the uke and his supposed ex where we get his thoughts. But again wouldn’t be surprised he doesn’t view the rape as rape y’know. But he is getting tired of being hurt so maybe that’s a step forward? Curious what happens next
I honestly hated how the author completely sidelined seme's sexual assault and rape of uke but at least they didn't sugarcoat the uke's mental illness like most manga and manhwa do and actually show the reality of what it's like to date a mentally ill person.
I hope the seme's problematic rape behavior also get addressed but who knows
Blowjob cliffhanger twice in a row is craaazy.
Love how patient and encouraging Jae-yi is of ideum in public places. I want to see Ideum’s confidence to build up over time <3
i know the character development is going to be crazy for Ideum and i’m so here for it
This has BEEN toxic and dubious consent. They are a mess beyond repair because they keep being desperate for some sort of connection with someone. So once they get it, they will do any horrible thing to keep it that way. Maybe mc will leave this pain because he wants an actual relationship. Maybe the kiss changed his mind. Maybe ml will regret his actions or won’t remember it since he was drunk and will be confused when mc leaves. We’ll see!! It’s going to continue being a mess seems like.
I think so too
Aww those beautiful ladies made me tear up a bit, they are so brave and kind to Psyche. I sincerely hope for their safety
Anyway I really like the thought of Pysche and Los together but I don’t think that’s going to happen sigh
Rooting for Los to be safe and freed someday!!
Yeah, I still feel like Eros will be end game, but I'm really rooting for Los rn
This manwha has me bawling my eyes out. The writing is beautiful and the comedy had me laughing so hard. The fact that Kihoon is free to choose who he loves. Thus him always choosing and falling for Yeon the moment he laid his eyes on him in past and next lifetime. He doesn’t need his second half, he is complete and could live in peace. So him loving and choosing Yeon makes it so profound I cry every time I see his wholehearted dedication to him.
Yeon loves him so much. His past younger self did a childish act of love to want to be together with Kihoon. He could be selfish and keep Kihoon bound to him. But more than anything Yeon loves seeing him free, happy, and thriving. He wants to hold the pain that comes from their memories for him while Kihoon lives a fulfilling life.
Even the red thread rock words to Kihoon had me crying damn
Absolutely love this manwha I’m so excited for season 3 where they can be smitten freely <3
Every new comment are people getting mad at absurd bl smut having absurd bl smut.
Ideum sexually harassed Jaeyi for days. But the power of this being fiction and them being the leads. Jaeyi became attracted to him despite not being the usual type he sleeps with.
Based on Ideum’s reaction he is into Somnophilia but he wanted Jaeyi to do it because he is INTO him. Not just the convenience of their fwb status . He is not letting the thought finish but he is more hurt over the fact their relationship is not romantic yet.
You can see how their relationship shifts from just to simply fwb to something more. However so many of you want to be obsessed with “green flags” that any discomfort you feel shuts down seeing the progression. Then you also get mad at the author as if you don’t see how they will set up gray area consent from the very start.
Acting as if you were betrayed by the author lol
