I'm glad the truth finally came out. I was getting sick to death of Chang-Geon enjoying Sam-Myeong's affection when he DOESN'T FKING DESERVE IT!!! I know his childhood was dogshit but no amount of trauma gives you the right to FKING KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE! He killed his frikkin' parents! He killed that guy from the pitfall trap! How on Earth do you come back from that?!
He's a murderer, kidnapper and a rapist! I feel for him and the crap he went through but again, no amount of trauma gives you a free pass to be an evil human being. He really is too far gone to deserve a happy ending with all the shit he's done... It's pretty irredeemable... But this is yaoi, evil toxic semes usually get their way in the end...
Preach!
That's why I literally skipped all the bonding chapters between Sam and Geon, like I skipped all of them (meaning more than half of this season, yes)
I also sympathise with Chang Geon but honestly, he needs to have accountability.
But like you said, his toxic ass probably still going to end up winning.
I have mixed emotions about this... I knew 99% they were gonna get together and be happy/lovey-dovey but it feels so WEIRD and JARRING to see them...act like a normal couple?? I feel like we needed more time spent not just with Jaekyung changing his ways and sitting with the guilt of just how SHITTY Dan's time has been with him but also them y'know...
Connecting? Getting to know each other as people? Like outside of sex they hardly ever just...TALK. Dan forgives him and absolves him of his wrongdoing too easily. So much of their relationship has this heavy overbearing awkwardness from the situation and their huge power imbalance. Like do they have anything in common? What do they talk about when they're not boning?
The biggest reason I stuck around from day one is the pretty art and that they have similar builds to my own characters. I get that Jaekyung is supposed to be an asshole that apologizes eventually but he is so THROUGHLY UNLIKEABLE and SELFISH through SO MUCH of this story that it's no surprise that most readers hate his guts. (including me) I don't mind a story with toxic characters or less than healthy relationships but the way things were done rubbed me the wrong way in so many different ways.
I do love Dan though, I'm glad to see him happy however much I wish the story would have been handled differently.
