I wanted the MC to end up with his childhood friends so bad. Oh well. Good premise for the plot but I think we were just running around in circles for most of it
But they had no chemistry
They didnt cuz the author was trying to pair the MC with the other guy, so they got all the romance development. But the first couple chapters u can see the friend total had something for him plus the MC's motivation for working for the other guy in the beginning was to keep the childhood friend/their comrades safe
I don't see that at all Hence why I said they had no chemistry
Not sure if you finished it but throughout the story you can tell the best friend has a friendly personality, idk if to call it pushover but there are certain times he'd let things slide to avoid drama and just keep smiling at everyone. He's also pretty cheer-y.
Also yeah his motivation was keeping him safe lol, that's a given. Not only are they childhood friends but you forgot his mother ended up in a coma protecting the MC. He felt responsible the entire time and would've felt bad if something happened to the friend after his mother was already in terrible condition trying to protect his family
You might've confused his friendly personality for a crush/like since you wanted them to happen (⌒▽⌒)
delusion “had something for him” he’s literally his best friend he was just being friendly
sorry but delulu
This is one of those stories where u started reading cuz of the BL theme but then stayed bc u wanna see the MC end up genuinely happy

Is it just me or did minjae seem a little jealous when he was asking haechan about the types of people he liked? And then he seemed relieved when haechan said he wasn’t interested in anyone (/dating in general) lol
I’m pleasantly surprised with how the series is going so far. This whole time I’ve been on edge with taeju even after the scene on the beach where he apologizes but y know what I think we’re reaching his redemption arc. Granted he hasn’t done that much to change the situation their in but I think seeing him make more of an effort to understand euihyun’s thoughts and feelings and try to comfort him more is a good sign. Like, I doubt he’s gonna do something to hurt euihyun again at least not in the way he did before with the debt and using him purely for sex (the guys head over heels for euihyun let’s be honest here). And if he does fuck up I have faith that he’ll realize his mistake and be genuinely apologetic and try to fix things
I’m actually more worried about euihyun. From the beginning I’ve been rooting for his happy ending and I’m glad to see that he’s in a way better place than say around ch 30ish butttttttt….. idk man he’s got me worried. Like mans is totally depressed or has ptsd and most definitely needs to get therapy but he’s just like chilling in taeju’s house. I mean yes he’s slowly coming to terms with things but I don’t blame taeju for emptying the pool in the latest ch because damn I’d be a little worried too.
Not to mention the alluding to him being pregnant. Part of me is like aww omg he’s gonna have a family with taeju but the other, more logical, part of me is like….
Seth’s the greenest flag to ever exist in BL manhwa he’s literally so kind and sweet and gentle with Theo and he’s so selfless to the point that becomes a character flaw ACKK not to mention I love an emotionally vulnerable top PLUS his looks/character design are TOP. TIER. who’s doing it like him
Also story wise I don’t know if the series is anywhere close to being over but I’m really interested to see where this’ll go and how it’ll end. I’m a sucker for these it’s us against the world type stories but sometimes the plot becomes too idealistic and uninteresting. This series however has got me too invested!!
This has made my list of top BL manhwas even tho it’s not done yet. Actually I’m a big fan of all of moscareto’s stories because the plots are always so good and the characters a really unique. And okdong’s art style is super unique and they way they’ve drawn taemoon and seonwoo’s story is PERECT. Seonwoo’s character really makes this entire story imo. He’s so embarrassing but u can’t help but love him like no wonder taemoon falls for him lol
YESSS THIS MADE MY TOP LIST TOO!! I LOVE THIS AUTHOR SM
I grew up on manga and anime, especially romance genre ones and let me tell you they totally blew my concept of love and relationships WAYY out of proportion! Kieta hatsukoi on the other hand is in my opinion the most realistic portrayal of a high school romance, let alone one between two guys. Aoki and Ida have this sort of awkward relationship where they really don’t know what to expect from one another in a ‘boyfriend’ way but their feelings for each other are entirely pure and sincere, which is really how all high school relationships SHOULD be!? Because what do kids know about love at 15-18 y/o?
Anyway great read and I’d totally recommend this as an introduction to BL manga :)
I wish this beautiful couple and their family eternal happiness
