Glad that was a bulk upload not sure how I’d have handled the semi breakup waiting for each chapter
The way dawun is perfect for him
Wen he held him back and started crying that that dawun should hold him and he can’t sleep without him stabbing me between my toes would hurt less
And the makeup sex my GAWD
Beyond that I’m happy how all this just fed into their relationship and jintaes security and autonomy with himself like my mans needed that validation that he’s needed, important and that his opinion matters. Lowkey hate the mom but I also understand her and I’m glad that she’s still able to be reached and not completely consumed by her trauma
Once again they’re both serving Avril Ashton cop*gangsta realness. Whole chapter was sexy asf
The childish possessive the prosecutor has with yoonseok is thoroughly amusing lol. If he’s calling yoonseok a murderer then so is he after all he sanctioned, enabled and encouraged that shit. He and mr unrequited love, their obsession with yoonseok will be their downfall and I can’t wait to see it.
He’s so mad yoonseok isn’t being an obedient dog like a child whose toys been taken away from him. Does he think yoonseok won’t bite back when he’s betrayed LOL. Yoonseok is a feral rabid bloodhound wen pushed and he’s so full of himself he thinks he’s broken yoonseoks spirit to the point where he can discard him with no repercussions.
Gitae and the deep satisfaction he has with finally putting his mark on yoonseok, something he plans to do to him permanently lol. He couldn’t have screamed this is my property any louder if he tried. They’ll have pry his cold dead hands off yoonseok to ever free him coz ain’t shit gonna make him leave that man alone
Yoonseok let him take off his dog tags
His face wen gitae told him he plans to do it permanently
The devastation and yearning
Him having an existential crisis as he comes to the realization that he’s changing as a person bcoz of gitae and that he’ll probably never escape him
The way I was right LOL
None of them handled the shit btwn woojin and his brother well AT ALL
Clocked it as all of em were managing the situation btwn em till it blew up in their faces and they had to have hard conversations and make hard decisions and woojin ended up being the one to once again take on the mantle of maturity and responsibility coz his brother has fully embraced being a maladjusted adult. Classic middle child syndrome too.
Tbvfh I do blame the parents for how shit turned out coz they are ultimately responsible for this nonsense. Sure they tried their best (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 but also not really. It doesn’t change the fact that woojin was abandoned regardless of it he was capable of being responsible for himself or not. He was a child himself and at a pivotal point in his life where he was coming to terms with who he was publicly with ppl he thought he could count on and his reward was acceptance from his parents which was great and all but completely ruined by they being more concerned with maintaining fake peace and a violently homophobic brother. He wasn’t even allowed to go back in and get his shit himself like yo there’s lvls to the fuckery he was subjected to fr. It’s really a tale as old as time of family’s essentially abandoning the responsible child for the problem child coz that’s easier to manage than actually dealing with the problem which would involve them having to staunchly choose a side instead of this halfway bullshit they on but we mewv lol. Let’s praise sky daddy for hoin and his fam for being a safe space for woojin thru all this nonsense.
Glad he got away from it all atleast even though he was still guilt tripped into attending his aint shit brothers wedding.
Wats up with that fr???
Also ion like the vibes from the wife tbh. She’s suspicious to me rn but that’s also mostly coz ion trust overly friendly ppl especially at a first meeting. But I might also be viewing things thru woojins discomfort too so lol
This was def a ride
Hayden our strongest soldier coz Brett is such a stressful difficult person which is in part largely due to his upbringing but u can see his earnestness so I completely understand y that made Hayden even more desperate to love and hold on to him. Like he’d said b4 it wasn’t that Brett wasn’t capable of or believed in love but that he didn’t believe that he could live up to his own expectations of wat love was in his head. When he had that dream of giving wolf Hayden the pheasant and wolfden embraces him instead, that shit hit in the feels. And him discussing it him later in bed and irl Hayden still accepting and embracing himWat a way to express that Brett had finally found the acceptance and love he’d been searching for that even he didn’t know about. It was cute asf too.
I think both Hayden and Brett are similar in the sense that they both deal with rejection in the same self isolating way but it expresses differently coz of their different backgrounds. Hayden was barely living while Brett was living large and still both were deeply dissatisfied with their lives and sought solace and or stimulation from each other tho Brett was the catalyst that pushed Hayden from slowly succumbing to the numbing rot of his life.
They were both so caustic with each other at first especially Hayden which is understandable coz Brett is such an instigator and shit stirer that I sometimes wondered if they would ever reach a point where they weren’t being absolutely feral and toxic with each other. Brett convinced he doesn’t need or want affection while absolutely feening for it from the least expected place he ever thought he’d get it. He was so irritatingly adorable I wanted to smack him multiple times while reading praise jah hayden was there to do it for me









We’ve barely started and already I’m stressed
