So a kid was his first love?
yeah, since modern romance often ties “love” to physical desire, people tend to forget that in literature (considering this manhwa is an adaptation of a novel with the same title), first love can also be about pure admiration, appreciating someone’s beauty, or even a meaningful moment that leaves a deep impression without any sexual desire at all. And that’s exactly what we see here. It’s still valid to call it first love. You just need to understand that love can take many different forms.
Thank you. I was trying to think of a way to explain this early on in the chapters but couldn't think of the best description to use. But you have put it really well. Yuri had no desire. He witnessed something beautiful and it stayed with him. I once said I preferred the story here to Passion, which I have enjoyed but found this more in-depth and at points profound, and got shot down so was a bit scared to say anything else!









Bottom acting like he wont forgive top for raping him
But we all know how rape and non con has been normalised in bl so i know how it ends
Also was the rape arc necessary honestly
In this mlm sphere the authors seem to get off of using the rape and yearning and past trauma top arc very much
I should quit bl honestly
I might be unconsciously conditioning myself to tfind this normal too or maybe desensitising myself to all this toxicness
Bit maybe it is because i feel over shitty today
Maybe tmr will be different
