In 1996, Kwon Jeongae was teaching at Yewol Elementary School and helping Tae-kyung.
On August 11, 1997, Kwon Jeongae killed Kim Taekwoo on Migok Mountain and buried a "Caecilia" cross necklace nearby; Jung Inbeom recorded a video of the body being buried.
That same year, Taekyung moved from the Migok Orphanage to the House of Hope, and Kwon Jeongae moved away from Migok.
Between 2002 and 2004, Jung Inbeom repeatedly blackmailed Kwon Jeongae using the video and a letter containing evidence of the murder committed by Kwon Jeongae and Han Seokju.
It is estimated that in 2003, Taekyung entered his first year of high school and was in the same class as Han Jaewon.
It is estimated that in early 2004, Taekyung was adopted by Han Seokju (he reunited with Kwon Jeongae and told her he now had a family).
In February 2004, Han Seokju asked Kwon Jungwoo for Kwon Jung-ae's address, claiming he was investigating a dangerous case.
On February 10, 2004, Taekyung went to the police station to ask if there had been any recent deaths; upon leaving, he saw his adoptive mother's car driving out from the direction of Migok Church. Kwon Jeongae died in a fire, and Taekyung saved Heeseo.
On March 31, 2004, Prosecutor Hwang Jiyeon investigated the cause of the fire at Migok Church and privately assigned her junior colleague, Han Seokju, to handle the matter. Jung Inbeom was investigated for blackmailing Kwon Jeongae, and the correspondence between Kwon Jeongae and Han Seokju was not returned.
In 2007, the first murder in the St. Veronica Orphanage serial killing case occurred.
In the winter of 2014, Taekyung and Heeseo reunited. September 15, 2015: Han Seokju is diagnosed with breast cancer (though the diagnosis is questionable).
That same year, Taekyung learns of the existence of certain letters through a review of Jung Inbeom’s records and discovers an "Agatha" necklace and letters hidden behind a mural at his foster mother's home. Heeseo learns from Kwon Jungwoo that the prosecutor had been informed of her mother's whereabouts; meanwhile, a nun at Migok Church tells Tae-kyung that a man had once inquired about his mother while holding a "Caecilia" cross necklace—a name Tae-kyung later identifies as his stepmother's baptismal name via a church registry. Heeseo subsequently leaves.
October 7, 2022: Han Seok-ju has recovered and is a strong contender for a seat on the council. Taekyung arranges to meet Jung Inbeom , with Heeseo tailing him; after Taekyung is knocked unconscious, Heeseo grazes Jung Inbeom’s arm with a pistol.
Eunseong is assigned to the case; Jung Inbeom has been fatally shot by an illegally modified shotgun. Eunseong shares clues with Han Jaewon. Han Jaewon connects the dots—recalling the archery club, finding the club instructor, learning that Taekyung ran the "House of Hope" facility and was cared for by Kwon Jeongae before that, identifying her as Taekyung’s previous mother figure, linking Kwon Jeongae to St. Veronica High School, remembering the cross from childhood services with his mother, and realizing "Caecilia" is the password for Taekyung encrypted file. Han Jaewon discovers a group photo from Veronica Orphanage where most faces have been crossed out.
October 22, 2022: Han Jaewon tells Eunseong the computer contains data related to Veronica Orphanage. Eunseong reveals she is investigating a serial murder case linked to the orphanage; Jung Inbeom was the final victim, and Taekyung—the first witness—is suspected of being held captive by the killer. Eunseong asks for the file password, but Han Jaewon withholds it.
Han Jaewon finds a vehicle scrapping registration form for Han Sahee car on his mother’s desk—dated the day after Taekyung went missing—and discovers a photo of Taekyung with an "X" marked over it inside a picture frame. After November 16, 2022, Heeseo attended the acquisition of SH Cosmetic—a company in which Han Sahee held shares—as the legal representative for Gretel Partners. Taekyung discovered a secret room containing a video on a computer that showed Han Seokju being kidnapped on the very day he had met with Jung Inbeom.

the author just stops drawing Jongwoo's lips chapped without drawing attention to it, no explanation. like just draw them hydrated from then on.

It'd be symbolic.

Mentally shifting bw feeling like this: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS0DhPRcoXfHC6zf7F4FgTYXsq6Cxxp-2oOhhQ1N-mlXdpoIycaFspBiIdu&s=10 because the only BL manhwa i love rn is going on hiatus and being happy that the author is getting rest.

I just clicked on this bc the cover art was beautiful, I normally read summaries b4 I read anything but this time I just dove straight into ch 1, and... first impressions: I thought it was gonna be a cute coming of age story about a 14? 15? y/o girl's relationship with her family members: her sister, her sisters boyfriend (- old enough to be pursuing veterinary medicine mind you), her career woman mom, etc.

I thought the boyfriend blushing when she called his name was a little sus but thought it might later be explained away as the type of joy when a child you're trying to get closer to finally accepts you. Like when a step child calls you "dad".

So tell me why I get to reading the tags and it's a romance b/w the SISTER'S BOYFRIEND AND THE CHILD. Furthermore it's even sadder that the older sister seems to love her (FL) so much? Like when FL is saying she doesn't want to be a financial burden by attending cram school, the older sister chimes in like: "Don't worry I'll start working soon~" and offers to help their mom pay. And the reason she noticed her BF in the first place was bc his name reminded her of her little sister.

So - not believing what I'm seeing - I skip to the latest chapter and lo and behold, it's not that the FL has a childish crush that the older man never returns. The feeling is mutual. They are entering a relationship.

The FL is a bird bitch and the ML is a pedophile. I'd be so hurt as the older sister and mad AF if I was the mom.

I have no desire to read this anymore, so out of curiosity - my Q to ppl who read this fully: Does the older sister show up again after chapter one and find out her man wants her little sister that he's known since she's been in elementary school? How does she react? I gotta know.

It's crazy bc I got a younger sister 8 yrs younger than me & if this happened to me I wouldn't even mourn the man much(I have no desire to date someone that preys on my little sister, or any child really), I'd be sadder that my sister would do this to me. I'd be like girl do u not love me, WTF? I'd go no contact with these people. I couldn't imagine doing this to a female family member. His dick better be a bioweapon against trump, cure cancer, and save the economy, otherwise... Anywho this manga is some reddit AITA shit.

I said earlier the seme is gorgeous because he is. But he's also grey as fuck. How egregious the coloring is changes scene to scene and I was looking at Fine Shyt w/ heart eyes so I just glossed over it. But re-reading it, some of the panels are...it's giving Youthforia.

the seme is so gorgeous.

Some are complaining that his feelings not being as intense as Jongwoo's doesn't mean he should hesistate to date him.

But if someone decided to date me even if they weren't confident they could be physically attracted to me, telling themselves 'it's ok, I love their personality' - I'd be kinda pissed. Most people want their partner to find them physically/sexually attractive as well as romantically/personality-wise. Changdeok not wanting to lead someone on if he's not sure he likes them enough to properly date isn't him being a party pooper to us readers - it's him being a well written character with morals.

(In the scene where changdeok thinks his feelings aren't as "intense", he starts contemplating about letting Jongwoo feed and how him being aroused is only a 'physiological response' - so I assume that the author means he's mostly worried about physical attraction rn.) Keep in mind this man has thought of himself as straight his whole life.

This is so much better than Straight Man suddenly turns gay - but also only for super special exception specific Romantic Interest - trope. just my 2 cents. When it comes to pacing I do get the complaints about the chapter length tho. I'm guessing it's bc alpacasuma is a 1 woman team.

You know you want to draw smut. you know you do. you started off as a peak smut manhwa artist. return to your roots.

You don't draw panels like this if u don't want to draw smut: https://media.desirescans.com/series/a-lovely-meal/0030/p-2c0fae46-b3e1-4aaa-913e-9eab2c31a863.webp

Even her subconsious is telling her to draw a 19+ scene. Not that we'll get one... I have no hope. #keep ur expectations low & u will never be disappointed

this chapter was so short literally almost nothing happened.

Also god bless dindin for translating the very latest chapters despite the officials.

ICan'tThinkofAUsername answered question about love yaoi
"If Lesbians can define sex as fingering, then I can define reading YAOI as sex." I'm not sure if you intend to come off that way or if ur just joking, but you kinda sound like MAGA men who are like "well I identify as a trans woman so I'm gonna go and harass random ladies in the women's restroom now"...

...I wonder if the general sentiment that everybody is ABSOLUTELY DYING for 19+ scenes between these two is even reaching Alpacasuma ? (Nobody do anything anything stupid and mention mggo outside this site).

I wonder if the comment section on official sites (especially the korean one) + her twitter are begging suma for 19+/ telling her how blue balled they feel rn, or if those readers are actually happy with the story exactly as it is*


*I'm actually totally happy with the progression as it is so far, I just personally don't want the story to end without 19+ down the line - I haven't liked a BL couple this much in a long time & it'd be a waste of beautiful art + an author who we already know does great smut scenes.

They're about to have a showdown outside of the local gas-station... reminds me of Waffle House.

The fact that his parents were in on it, all to help set up their son with his crush.
