Riki is truly unlikeable, to me. Not just as one half of a couple but as a character overall. Haruomi is great and has so much potential to be even greater and I feel like having him give in and accept to be trapped in this relationship is only dragging him down and doing him a huge disservice. I'll just be imagining him realising the mistake he's made and freeing himself. He deserves to be happy. Riki's father and his bodyguard seem like much better people in comparison and from what little we're shown and I'd be interested in reading their story if the author made them a second couple. I wouldn't say know if in an alternate universe Haruomi became their third instead, either.
Beom in dress sleeves and slacks... Ho in uniform... They're both so drop dead gorgeous and about to wreck eachother like they're in heat. I absolutely do /not/ envy housekeeping and the cleaning they'll be doing on that hotel room. Hope they don't forget the sleep mask and the ear muffs for the baby, she's gotta be able to sleep undisturbed during that tornado. Not us, though, we won't even be blinking so we don't let a single detail escape us.
QIUCHENG MY BELOVEDS HOW I MISSED THEE
Please, they have a Doberman now. Whenever my hcs become canon in 19 Days I always short-circuit. This is what true joy feels like.
Qiu is such a slut, I love it. Keeping up the womanizing habits to relieve the stress from his babysitting duties as well as to make the husband jealous—one stone; two birds. He's such a foodie, too, it's hella cute. Seafood is definitely his favourite and Cheng knows it, as he should.
Also, Cheng's expression not really changing except microscopically but OX letting us know in other ways he feels happy doing stuff for all the(ir) kids, helping them have fun and enjoy life is so... My heart is full.
Muyeol is undoubtedly hitching a ride inside Bihwan right now. Just the mere thought of it repulses me, knowing he'll be present when both Minchan and Bihwan think they're alone all by themselves, especially when talking privately and/or being intimate. What I need is for that vile creature to be exorcised out of our favourite goblin immediately and for Minchan to be the one to do it, but... Well... Let the gates open and the great, last wave of heavy anguish wash over us all like the flood, I suppose. Such a masterpiece of a story already and the climax is yet to strike. A forever favourite.










I am incredibly curious as to how many of us that started reading this in 2011 (or circa) are still around. The end feels so very near now, at long last...♡
I started reading since before Yashiro got shot when he and Doumeki went to that adult theater together. Don't tell me that was in 2011!! How did time go by so fast? This story has been with me for fifteen years, exactly half of my life. It's so bittersweet to think about, but this story and these characters mean the world to me ;___;
