I love this chapter!!I pure happiness, I love seeing Juhyeok like this! no constant pressure from Su-ah, he doesn't have to be bothered by anything, he is just himself here, finally where he wants to be! it would be nice to have more of such cheerful time for our boy, a healthy competitive spirit with Daiki, TJ being on his side, seriously, this is the life Juhyeok always dreamed of, and this is exactly why that whole situation with secondary gender is so tough for him, let him be happy a little longer
Looks interesting!!!
I just saw, per mangaupdates and novelupdates, this is the shared universe as in Under the oak tree, like a prequel! I'm sat!!
Time to start the countdown for Jake and Shin guys!!! We had to wait a long time, but it was worth it, only 3 more days!
Fym l get to read such awesome and intimate sex killing myself would never compete to this peak
Damn right, our boys just set the bar fucking high! I'm counting down the minutes until we finally get our the most delicious couple!
Hell yaaa
So now we have confirmation of who gave him that pill...
Damn, being betrayed by someone you considered even a friend, teammate, such a bastard, he forced Jaeyoung to swallow that damn pill, and literally ruined his happiness surely he's going to show up in season 2, but hopefully he will regret what he has done!!!
Thankfully Seungmin is now with Jaeyoung, cannot wait for more of these two!
They are so adorable together! And we have a confirmation, he didn't do anything, that asshole didn't kiss Minhyuk, he was just looking at him in the previous chapter (face was close)
Seriously, for me this is one of the best ongoing currently series out there, the dynamic, the pacing, the storytelling, everything on point, their chemistry is overflowing, and damn, as uncle is pissing me off so much now, cannot wait for his second couple era with the brother
Finally together! And I love that 'I remember now' moment when he looked at Seojoon's smile, because exactly at the moment when he saw that 'radiant' smile 12 years ago on that bench at school, Jooan fell in love with Seojoon, and now he remembers damn, hope we'll get many side stories of them too
It's hard to describe how much I despise Gyeom, he's still blackmailing Baek-hee, Gyeom on purpose constantly makes him dependent on himself and made him doubt, that maybe Il-woo will not accept the fact that his father killed someone (when we know he would be there for him no matter what) this is why Baek-hee still didn't stop that deal with Gyeom, because he needs to get out of there to Seoul, he doesn't want to continue that with Gyeom, it's clear he doesn't enjoy any of that correlation with that asshole, he's disgusted, but he's so scared gosh, that angst will only get worse... now when Baek-hee picked up the phone
I know it will be a tough road ahead, but seriously, I just want our baby happy together
the happiness only lasted one chapter omg my heart is in shambles :(
I've seen the raws but i can't read korean, can you please tell me who was calling at least? are they asking for the money again?
THIS obviously Baekhee doesn't want to have anything to do with Gyeom, especially now when he's finally learned what feelings of love look like thanks to Ilwoo! But that asshole is threatening him for years, as being his only solution!
And it's breaking my heart to see how painful that whole forced intercourse was for Baekhee (because yes, that's only a damn contract, nothing pleasurable for him!), he even puked out of disgust later, terrible! And how by the end he was even trying to convince himself that Ilwoo would understand, that no matter what his father did, he would not judge!
We all knew that's coming, but still heartbreaking!
Spoiler
I assume so, because they said something like 'I got this bastard, fucking Ilwoo, are you finally getting the call?', we'll see in the next chapter, but damn, that chapter was tough Baek-hee is so tired of all that shit around him, we can see that Il-woo is his only safe place!
Spoiler
Of course it was only a contract to begin with, Baek-hee mentioned that there was no feelings, he mentioned that he even tried to see it as love, but there was nothing, Gyeom was only his ticket to Seoul, and that asshole is using that for his sick needs! I hate that piece of shit!!
And seriously, the look of disgust and being simply tired of it all on Baek-hee's face, he has enough, clearly, he doesn't want any of that, but he's stucked and I love how despite those Gyeom's lies that Il-woo won't understand his situation, Baek-hee still tries to convince himself the opposite, he believes that Ilwoo is not like that, gosh I love these two
of course course there was no feelings, Baekhee saw him only as a friend (who in reality is a fucking snake not a friend!), what Gyeom used to take advantage of him, fucking psycho!
that tired look in his eyes! even during that damn disgusting intercourse, he had tears in his eyes, painful to watch! Seriously, I hope that Gyeom will get what he deserves later, fucking rapist, because yes, forcing someone to have sex is a fucking rape!!!
we can clearly see that Baekhee is trying to break free, like you said, he's convincing himself that Ilwoo is not like that! but next chapter's going to be nasty, but these two can survive this shit, it's just a way for Baekhee to finally find the true about Illwo's appearance here, let's look at it as at one step forward!
thank you darling<3 i was literally just wondering last week if his physical relationship with gyeom would still continue after both our main characters confessed to each other and unfortunately it does and it's heartbreaking.
baekhee just can't break it off that easily and ilwoo can't ask him to do that either ☹ i hope next chapter after that call they both get to discover each others' secrets at least... it's better for them to open up and think together
No problem at all dear
Yes, that asshole Gyeom is so manipulative! But since the beginning it was clear that Baek-hee doesn't get any 'pleasure' from that contract, it was just a play he need to participate in (still I see that as sexual assault, because Gyeom forced him by that agreement since the beginning), this chapter now showed that he is already disgusted by it, it's truly heartbreaking, because he's leaving in constant fear, Il-woo is his only light, but Gyeom is trying to destroy even that! Baek-hee's eyes in this chapter... so much pain and tiredness
But they both need to finally share their secrets, and wondering if maybe now, once Il-woo's secret is revealed, maybe this will be a sign for Baek-hee to tell Il-woo everything about his father, because he's already more convince (by the end of the chapter he was convincing himself that Il-woo would understand)
this may be regarded as SA yes, or at least a power imbalance since gyeom can literally fuck baekhee's life up easily
bro doesn't even have the option to say no
fingers crossed by tormented babies are able to comfort each other throughout all this or else I'll have to adopt them myself
exactly this! we can see that these intercourses are painful for Baek-hee, physically and mentally, and since the beginning that was showed this way, what I am grateful to the author for, because even when there is an 'agreement' between them, its base is force (you get something if you have sex with me)! And like you said, he cannot say no, because he's literally blackmailed, and that asshole Gyeom is using that Seoul card!
And honestly, it was visible on Baek-hee's face when he kissed Il-woo, it was his first enjoyable kiss full of love, and difference in his reaction was clear!
I'm scared what next chapters will bring... but just want our babies free from this nightmare, somewhere far away together!
It's a short story, but damn, writing, characters, chemistry, storytelling, everything on point!
I love the whole reincarnation part, it's showed in a such interesting way, how meeting Asha triggered Arden's memories in Albert's mind, and how he was basically talking to himself all the time, but Albert couldn't accept that, I'm glad the author confirmed that also in the notes!
Asha and Albert also connect through a tough childhood, and I love how they were healing their wounds
Also, I'm glad that in the family tree, author pointed out all connections, and it's confirmed that Asha was lovers only with Arden - there is a 'past lovers' line, and as per connections - Alberto (Albert's father) and that female Blake ancestor loved Asha, but that's it - there's only an arrow that they 'loved' Asha, nothing from Asha (Asha even was calling Alberto a creep and crazy, and kicked him out after his attack when beginning to be turned into a vampire), so I take basically Asha was ever only with Arden/Albert, and now they will be together for eternity, damn, it's so beautiful
Exactly this is how dark/psychological/toxic story should look like, it keeps you in suspense, you feel terror and uncertainty till the last moment! Where we have well throughout characters profile and storytelling!
And it's a perfect example that psychological/dark story doesn't necessarily mean overloaded SA how majority of authors think, where the whole series concept revolves around this topic, many times without any meaning or plan, just a cheap rapey excuse pretending to be something more/deep, where in reality majority of these series have nothing to do with trauma or psychological aspect, but pretend to be as horrifying rape scenes are literally pushed everywhere without any consistency, making it more like a shallow fetish porn.
Either way, the fact that such an amazing story was showed in only 15 chapters, it's a peak!
I'm hoping for side stories!!
So to be honest, I expected this chapter to be rough, that they will be still fighting, but they are vulnerable here, we can say that Juheon put Dohu against the wall, you do it or it's over, but we can see that he wanted here for Dohu to stop, we need to remember that Juheon is still trying to push Dohu away, he wants Dohu to give up and leave, but later Juheon said that they really should stop for now, and Dohu then said to go ahead and started pushing Juheon further, but angst is needed here, because they both are now driven by negative emotions and it's heartbreaking, but we saw that 'just talking' didn't help till now, they need that moment to break the wall, it's a hate sex, uncomfortable to read, but I trust this author, till now she's doing an amazing job showing a complexity of emotions in both of them, and I believe in the next chapter we'll see already Juheon's wall cracked a little bit, first step to reconciliation
Totally agree, this chapter was supposed to be hard, if they had calm emotional sex now, all these years of pushing and fighting would be pointless, and that exactly would be ooc, like you said, Juheon wants to push Dohu away and that's the point, he's wall need to finally break, and when talking didn't work, actions and angst are needed here, it will be here, but ai also believe that next chapter will show already a progress
