"No matter how much I acted like I hated it"
WTF, Garam?
I've been mad at Garam for a while, but tried to be understanding of his trauma. But after reading that line... So he was just manipulating Jaehyuk's emotions to force him to stay in the closet while secretly taking some kind of satisfaction in being cruel to him, knowing Jaehyuk is so desperate for him that he'll never actually leave???
No. Not okay.
I'm glad Jaehyuk took some space and put some countries between them. Garam needs to figure his shit out and stop using his trauma to hurt the person who loves him.
Honestly, I feel for Garam and his trauma, but I seriously hope Jaehyuk dumps him, because Jaehyuk has been doing so much to change and support Garam and be proud of his man, and Garam just takes and takes and takes and gets angry at how much Jaehyuk is embracing their relationship and literally carrying it on his back, and Jaehyuk needs to be chased. Unfortunately, I feel that Garam would just accept a breakup as proof that they were never meant to be and let Jaehyuk go.
What about how both of their pheromones were manipulated? Or that he couldn't smell him anymore. Or how the Alpha's family wanted to kill the Omega? I can get over the fast resolution when the Alpha was psycho and the Omega had every right to fear his legs would be broken to keep him in place, but what about all the external factors, too?????
I...really don't like Noeul or his actions toward Yeoreum, which may put me in the minority, but Yeoreum did so much to become Noeul's friend, and even after Noeul confessed, he didn't distance himself. It's on Noeul that he chose to stay close to Yeoreum, even knowing Yeoreum only wanted to be friends.
And now that Yeoreum has finally realized he CAN love Noeul the way Noeul wants, Noeul is being a complete asshole. That line in 24 about being friends from Yeoreum in their youths, while painful for the unreciprocated feelings, is valid. But Noeul saying it back now, as adults, with Yeoreum wanting more (and us knowing Noeul wants more), is just mean, because he's not being Yeoreum's friend, he's being petty and spiteful and WANTING to hurt Yeoreum. It's toxic.
Yeoreum is slow and dumb and loud, but he's only ever been open in his desire to remain best friends with Noeul, and Noeul just wants to make him suffer because Noeul chose to stay close to Yeoreum instead of bowing out at any point in 17 years. It's not Yeoreum's fault that he didn't feel more until now. But it IS Noeul's fault for intentionally hurting him now.
I hope, when he pulls his head out of his ass, decides Yeoreum has suffered enough, and decides to accept his feelings that Yeoreum calls him on his bullshit. (I know it won't happen, but Noeul's current attitude is disgusting)









Did I miss a chapter? Xinlu went through all that, kidnapping his brother to force Taeui to go with him, only to let him go? I feel like I missed something. Can someone explain???
No xinlu already knows that taeui is now a terrorist suspect and won't be able to go anywhere for the meantime so he just left them at the hotel
