I love that they're taking their time. I love that they're acting like sane adults instead of hornballs that only think about sex. I hope the pacing will stay this way and i hope the author keeps focusing on the characters' development rather than rushing the smexy times. Also, the drama they're filming is so damn interesting i wish it was a separate manhwa i could read
To cheer ouselves up during this trying times im gonna post links to the author's NME arts. Today is heejae x garam old men yaoi AU:

Somebody on twitter said that it's sad to see garam being hurt by both heejae and music and im gonna BAWL like where is my son supposed to go to get his comfort?? He's basically alone in that godforsaken city (they haven't even gotten mamdani yet gosh darnit) heejae do you UNDERSTAND that han garam is way out of your league. What are you doingggg lock tf in godddd
I've said this in reply to another comment but i want to say it again:
1. Compton saying that telling the other person what they want to hear isn't hard. Saying sorry isn't hard, eventhough compton basically has the same mindset as heejae regarding music, and eventhough he himself didn't feel like apologizing. SAYING SORRY ISN'T HARD.
2. The visible resentment in garam's face when he threw that snowball holy crap
3. The flowers withering, the thread snapping, the slight indifference in garam's mannerism when he accepted heejae's affection
God the author never misses. The bullets are lodged straight in my heart UGHH watching garam lose his sparks little by little is hurting me so damn bad :(
HAN GARAM FRONTAL LOBE DEVELOPMENT IS IN PROGRESS YALL
but it's so freaking sad my heart hurts seeing my son, who is soft and accepting and so damn kind, get broken down by other's selfishness. The fact that heejae treated him like some kid throwing tantrums and dismissed his demand for apology yet AGAIN, and the fact that garam was on the verge of exploding but calmed himself down....oh garam you deserve the world. You deserve everything you wanttttttt god i hate heejae so much in that moment. I hope garam can break free from the current heejae. Like i love the two of them, i'm rooting for them, but at this point i want garam to be happy more than i want them to stay together. And i want heejae to become human, more than i want to understand his cruel side.
Also next week is the scheduled hiatus......how can i survive......
You will understand heejae much better if you just see him as what he is: a boomer asian man. Even worse, he's korean AND rich. So yeah, him doing everything but apologizing makes sense, because that's literally every old asian man ever. He reminds me of so many male authoritative figures in my life and it was sooo satisfying to see him fumbling and sweating bullets in front of garam, who looked so serene and calm in contrast. I was fully on board with them making up last week, but now? I'm looking forward to the day han garam fully develops his frontal lobe and breaks heejae's heart in return.
It’s how I’m so invested that these few chapters really make my stomach drop into my butt lol. I really don’t know how the Professor will redeem himself. I know he’s an old head, but he really could not do apologize for his boy. Garam is literally on the edge, and I’m not ready for his crash out. There’s only so much his heart can take at this point. I am ready for all the boys in his yard to come and be ready to strike though. It’s really giving: “we are not end-game” EVEN THOUGH this whole work has been advertised as them getting together since 2022 lol. I just want everyone to be happy and whole.






dont hate me but why does he look like james charles....
omfg now I can’t unsee it BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
