Is it bad I’m kind of on the weird black haired classmates side lol…. Like I’d be pissed too tf can you imagine applying for a scholarship and then finding out the recipient was pre selected by his situationship so there was never any point in applying or even posting a scholarship offering in the first place bc it was already going to go to someone else anyway like wtf I don’t play when it comes to my academics!!!! Granted this is not yeonmin’s fault in the slightest, but if I was in the classmate’s shoes I’d be rightfully pissed bc the assumption and logic points to nepotism and We The People (classmates) have no idea how much he’s suffered so what else are we to think!!! (Sorry I’m passionate about academic equality guys)
Honestly I get what you’re saying and I get where you’re coming from, and it could be because I know how he used to live but I feel that because he genuinely studies and is the top of the class I wouldn’t second guess it like his grades match why he deserves it
Oh no the scholarship is going to the guy who has debt collectors chasing him around, 0 family, and works every hour of the day this is so unfair!!! I feel like a normal person would be happy for the guy?
Agree, he doesn't know what's going on, or that yeomin is in fact not financially well off, he's just got a sugar daddy (which in yeomin's mind is a temporary situation so he's still prepping to go back to his old lifestyle, hence he needs the money). So like yea, I'd also be pissed off that some rich kid with connections got the scholarship, and I would absolutely try to mess shit up. Even if he is top of the class and works hard, scholarships aren't for people with money, and yeomin currently looks like he's well off
Lol I get what you’re saying, but like I said in my comment, none of his classmates know any of this. At most, they know some shady ppl came to look for him via rumor. We the readers know he deserves this for all he’s been through, but that’s it
And I agree! He 100% deserves to have some financial/academic comfort for all he’s been through, but others won’t see it that way just from how he’s intentionally and unintentionally portrayed himself to his classmates
+ the grade thing, so true!! sadly, all his effort will go down the drain for the sole fact he has a relationship with the scholarship fund :/
The guy in question is a classmate is he not? At the LEAST, everyone knows hes the guy some gangsters were looking for, especially since he doesn't show up at any functions(didn't), plus he was also malnourished for a period of time, so on the almost impossible chance you're tapped out of the gossip, you can clearly see he's not privileged at all.
Yeah but after that he showing up with expensive things. Getting pick up by some wealthy looking men with expensive car. Then you learn the person that picking him up is the person that related to the foundation that giving out scholarship. If you think about it...
Auntie gyeongha…. We need more women like you in the world TT_TT
Was in my TBR for the longest time, but I decided to binge read all 133 chapters over the last three days bc I wanted to read Raga (not expecting that the Raga prelude wasn’t going to be until dang near chapter 133 itself g). Just wow. I like the fcked up flavor of psycho ML that Ilay is, especially starting at ch 100, seatbelt OFF who the hell is driving this bus. Genuinely never know what to expect from him. Conversely taeui is an interesting specimen as well, he takes everything in stride and is relatively more level headed than most bottom MC, which is nice. His bullheadedness is endearing and his crash outs are valid. I will say, as much as I find xinlu interesting, his makeover was so random LOL. straight up did not recognize him on the beach, I can’t imagine what that chapter must’ve been like for people who were caught up at the time
I feel like you would appreciate Taeui’s character more in the novels since the manhwa cut off a lots of his inner monologues and his dynamic with Ilay is very complex and unique it’s like they humanise but dehumanise each other at the same time
Ooof that past runs deep. Complicated situation but same result for everyone involved: that was deeply traumatic. I dislike the megane, but I’m going to make a logical guess that he’s in an arranged marriage given the fact he’s a chaebol, family found out he was gay for mc when he went home, beat the shit outta him bc homophobia, and that leads to that messy first sexual encounter. Regardless of how much he may have genuinely liked mc, his personal/family life is way too toxic and he needs to BEEN have resolved that inner conflict cuz now he’s ruining his life, his soon to be wife’s life, AND the mc! (And cutie patootie’s life by extension!!! -_-). I hope mc can move on from him, like you deserve so much more king
Ik junmin was gonna trigger him but holy shit I di not expect him to tko wow
Aw man praying for u author-nim I wouldn’t wish disc related health issues on my worst enemy </3
FIVE ROUNDS BONUS CHAPTER WHENNNN!!!!!! PLEASE I NEED TO SEE HIM TIED UP AND CRYING!!!!!!
