author is totally wrong and is connecting this to a dj inspired by the novel
if not, here is one that is correct

Yes??? tf????
The adults here have been nothing but useless if not untrustworthy. In a building where the only real targets are the students, every single adult would be suspicious!
I figured something was up when he mentioned the letter he got but I was not expecting this??? Maybe it's meant to purposely throw us off but idk.
Also the doctor friend is an asshat, but he hasn't done anything damaging, he's in the medical field, and he has those whore glasses so I just →
(*´﹃｀*)
the dad is pissing me off, I mean everyone so far is pretty terrible (except for junhan's friend and that one girl), but at least I liked when the two of them were awful together!
this bum ass dad seriously needs to go
I dont usually mind age gaps, I'm actually a sucker for younger top x older bottom, but this feels strange to me?
Tennessee met Amber when he was like 10/11, returned to the US and met Amber again when he was 13/14, then proceeded to occasionally share his living space with him for a few years. They say 2 years had passed since Tennessee returned to Chicago, so that would make Amber 15/16, but in that same chapter he says he's a few months away from turning 18? Which wouldn't be right either way, I think its just a simple mistake since schooling grades are different in the US than Korea. Maybe mentioning that Amber was in 8th grade was a blip.
Either way, Amber confesses as a teenager and says he'll try to give up. All fine and dandy, but then Tennessee provokes him and says he was supposed to refuse? No? Thats the adult's job. I get he probably felt bad for Amber to some degree, and didn't want to abandon him, but that was weird.
I see face blindness will be used as the scapegoat to push things forward, but I just feel like its all unnecessary. As I mentioned I don't mind age gaps, and the whole, "we met when I was a kid but now I'm an adult so it's different" trope, but usually it works because they spend all those years apart before reuniting.
I feel it was largely unnecessary to have Tennessee and Amber reunite so quickly, and then have them cohabit the same space for 2 years, even if it was only temporary and occasionally. We could have seen Tennessee struggle overseas with his job, and how Amber was dealing with his longing being apart for so long in a sort of montage moment. His self harm could have also been showcased quite easily. Then have the reunion once Amber was an adult, and the whole "no I still see you as a kid" trope.
I don't think the story is garbage or anything (the subversion of Amber's self harm was very well done) and I already know its not grooming. I just feel like there's deliberate odd choices made in these very beginning chapters that aren't really necessary. Because reading it, all I could think was: "Well any reasonable person would distance themselves from Amber if they knew or suspected how he felt." Especially since Tennessee yells at Amber for doing a piss poor job at hiding how he felt.
Apart from this I think the story devices are good, the inclusion of sh is direct and doesn't shy away, which is nice, and the art style is really nice! But is what I mentioned ever brought up into question? Or is it just glossed over as "whatever" with whatever face blindness Tennessee will get in the upcoming chapters after chapter 5? I'd just like to know before deciding whether or not to continue with this strange feeling or not!
If anything comes between them, I think it will be external forces. I think hajun is 100% honest in his feelings for danwoo.
He doesn't seem to get along too well with his family from what little we've seen, dismissing whoever dropped him off at school that one time, and now returning early. Just the fact that he seemed desperate to live with danwoo at the start also makes me believe that.
Perhaps he is repressed gay? Hiding who he really is from those around him. People seem to approach hajun for his handsome face and popular personality, but how many of those people know who he really is? His family probably doesn't. Maybe this is why when he found someone so blatantly honest (even if drunk) +really attractive like danwoo, he jumped at the opportunity to be himself?
Maybe he will try to keep danwoo away from his private life/family, and that will drive a wedge between them since danwoo seems really insecure. If hajun's family is well off, that will also probably make danwoo feel small and unworthy (he already kind of feels that way). Not to mention details of danwoo's past that he may not want to share with hajun for one reason or another.
Theres also the question of the title and the cover image itself. "Playmate" seems to just be because they play a lot of games together, hajun is very energetic and uses the wording when they have sex. The cover image is interesting because danwoo is holding a leash connected to a collar hajun is wearing, which is why I think hajun is being honest, he is over energetic and the only one that can keep him complacent is danwoo.
But also! Danwoo is holding another leash in his hands, that come together to make a heart with the blue one. This other leash isn't connected to anything because danwoo isn't wearing a collar himself, and I know this because on the author's twitter, a new cover art was posted, where we can see that danwoo is holding 2 leashes but isn't wearing a collar himself. In this new cover, the second collar is laying on the ground next to him.
I take this to mean that danwoo holds both leashes together since him and hajun are the playmates, even if he's not wearing the collar. Danwoo is the one that holds the relationship together? He sees himself outside of the relationship? Maybe he's too insecure to have the collar on, and give hajun hold over his leash? Hajun seems happy either way.
I'm overthinking this probably, but I think their relationship will face challenges not because one is secretly a cheater or a scumbag, but because they are both hiding certain things from each other!
I feel like we're all talking about different things here no? Talk about bad timing to have this kind of "what are we?" conversation
gay people are always on some bullshit, I'm honestly quite impressed
other than that, I think its quite nice how giryeo manages to keep changho entertained while on a short leash, he certainly knows how to keep the flame alive!
cant they just hide in that invisible room? if even one of them is in there, they'd probably win by waiting the time out

Something about this art style is so delicious to look at! Everyone is beautiful and so expressive, I just wanna stare at every drawing.
MC is so shy but seems super laid back while drunk, very handsome! ML has funny facial expressions, he seems awkward like he doesn't know what to do with himself?
I can't tell if something did happen, or if it's a misunderstanding so far. Maybe ML is teasing? Though I can't tell at all
Yeomin is going to have a stroke if Mr Yeon keeps going at it with the subliminal messages
top could've literally made up some bullshit lie about needing to have sex with him because of his trauma and the bottom would've probably believed it.
why do all this? who'd this guy pay to keep watch of the cameras?
Andrei did some mining off screen because huh?
How did he figure this all out? Ik he's got connections and whatever, but still. He seems so certain, obviously it's part of the plot, but how can he be so sure?
Whatever the case may be, he really is a good friend. We all need an Andrei to help us out sometimes.
yeah? sucking chest at school?? party is over y'all...
but honestly? theyre teenagers, so making good decisions isn't really their forte.
as for suhan, I don't blame him for running away at any given moment. I would die of embarrassment too if I was the only one who remembered something like that.
ok, I was gonna say I was thrown off guard with how fast paced these beginning chapters were, but the freak factor in the latest two was soo
(*´﹃｀*)
I think I'll just sit back and see where this goes (¬◡¬)✧
