im not going into details but it is the entirety of the novel so do not read if you dont want to get spoiled.
so we know that he have DID now bc of his childhood trauma. i wont go deep on that but theres the night kim shinwoo who act childish and day kim shinwoo who is fucking evil. they are the same person of course but night ml only appears at night bc thats when day ml go to sleep.
every night, mc and night ml met without day ml knowing about it. at first mc had to pretend he like the night ml bc he was being so persistent since night ml really adores him. mc slowly falls for night ml bc he felt like he had to protect him. and they also did sexual stuff except penetrative sex. mc went through every kind of injury having to protect the ml as he is the bodyguard after all so whenever that happens day ml starts being nice but then go back to being mean.
a major accident happen involving ml stalker where the stalker tried to kill both of them so they had to be admitted to the hospital. (around this time, day ml had started to warmed up to mc bc he kept on saving his life) ml requested for both to be in the same room and they ended up sleeping together. and i mean just sleeping ( for the day ml anyways). night ml woke up, they have a conversation, starts kissing and shit. what they didnt know is that day ml actually recorded the whole thing so he could hear what happen while he was asleep. i dont really remember why but ig he was suspicious that mc already know about his secret which is the other personality.
after they got discharged, they went home ( they are still living together) but mc went out somewhere so ml took the chance to listen to the recording and shit you know he went batshit insane destroying everything in the house lmfao. mc came home and they argue about it so he was about to leave but ml told him to stay, of course the classic “don’t go” love it. anyways he still left obviously.
but he actually came back after he went to buy some aids from the pharmacy. he starts treating ml injury but ml questioned him like why did you come back and he kissed mc for like a moment and pulled back. but then mc kiss him back and this time it went further to the point they had sex. he also had sex with night ml right after.
so anyways they started dating then we have a kidnapping cliche and third act breakup but both of them are safe and make up in the end. its pretty wholesome towards the end of the main story i do like it they are both very much obsessed with each other.
a little review!!
i do have some things im not really satisfied with like how the mc move on so fast from the person he had a crush on for 10 years?? not to mention this whole thing happening within the proximity of said person its like he was never in love with the crush. one other thing is right at the end it was said that his DID kinda became one personality like they just merge back bc he was able to be himself again but like are we not going to therapy i dont know if it can just be resolve that way. im not sure yet maybe this was further explained in the side story (apparently it was an extra about the manager’s diary lol ig this is the end). i do like this story they are very wholesome and cute after they started dating except for ml obsession and possesiveness but oh well im too used to that so i dont really mind.

thank you for not gatekeeping ILYSM <3 !!!!
sureee anything for you babe!! if you have any problem just dm me (≧∀≦)
I love you for this.
The effort it took to type all this.
Thank you so much..
I'll definitely keep my eye out for this one.
heyyo (˶>⩊<˶), just wanted to say i finished reading the novel !!! & i agree with your review, jihan moved on from jeongwon wayy too fast and the way they stopped interacting almost entirely in the second half of the story felt kinda unnatural. also, jihan and shinwoo’s relationship felt like it started as a trauma response and i only felt some genuine attraction and chemistry toward the end TT.. BUT i understand that this is a short story so i wasn’t expecting a “Heaven’s Officials Blessings” kind of plot ✿ on a positive note, i LOVED that the novel included 3rd person POVs, it created so much more immersion + the smut was so hot ദദ◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ okay bye thank you once again for the links, have a great day kind stranger
i cant believe this is happeninggg, how ive waited for their story the most. love their dynamics and everything
no way they are adapting this one omgggg. but junhan doesnt really look like how i thought he would be. lets just wait maybe
Who is the end game?
pretty sure it was junhan the husband. he did fuck around with both of them a lot so anyone would probably get confused lol.
bring back black and white manhwas!!
Say it louder !
Black and white manhwas were/are peak
is manga translation declining so bad on here or does this happen on other site too. i miss the mangas man
i waited years never even check on it the entire time come back thinking it was gonna be completed this is devastating
no literally like it's been almost 3 years of marinating and it's not even half way done .. </3
if you don’t like twink top don’t read. so many people here taking the opportunity to hate on this story with lots of excuses while their actual complaint is the blondie topping.
real, like they don't understand that this is literally peak yaoi
anything with buff uke is peak yaoi idc if top is bigger or smaller i will gobble that shit up
Fr there argumentative screams homophobia
I get you but this is not peak Yaoi at all.
It is peack yaoi
Twink top is peak but this story isn't. I read the novel and it was a huge disappointment.
Why thoo ?
I saw some people talk about the novel but everyone has different opinions so idk if it's worth trying to read or not
As long as none of the mc or ml hurt the other i am willing to give it a chance
It's actually so bad. You can DM me for the spoilers if you want, but the power imbalance between the two characters and also the fact that Ian(Ain) is a predator (because Michelle is barely a legal adult) seems so wrong to me. And, there are worse things.
You're starting to scare me fr ┗( T﹏T )┛
I have to admit that i didn't even notice michelle age before you talked about it...
I just hope there is no rape or abuse within the couple bc that's a big no no for me
(spoiler )
I think for some people, this isn't really a deal-breaker because there isn't rape(well, there's one) between the main characters but they use rape and exploitation as a plot device.
But for me, this story is just pure disgusting, and the main characters shouldn't be together at all.
So there is rape within the main couple...
So I'm definitely not going to read that
Im not into that rape apology bullshit
Thanks for letting me know about all that !
You saved some of my time AND mental health (bc nothing disgust me more than people normalizing rape)
didnt see who the author was. its all making sense now
