crazy how this ended years ago and i’m only reading it now
what stood out to me the most wasn’t even the main couple, but daeshik and yosef. their dynamic feels a lot more deliberate. Daeshik, to me, is the most intelligent character in the story not in a loud or performative way, but in how he perceives people. he doesn’t need long explanations or dramatic confessions to understand someone. he just knows, and more importantly, he chooses how to respond to that knowledge.
Yosef, on the other hand, is quieter but just as complex. he carries himself like he has everything in place, but there’s a clear sense of isolation underneath it that daeshik picks up on almost immediately. what makes their relationship compelling is that it’s not driven by desperation or imbalance. daeshik doesn’t try to fix or chase him, he meets him where he is. their relationship feels balanced, it’s measured. there’s restraint, mutual awareness, and a sense that neither of them is losing themselves just to make it work.
in comparison, the main couple feels more emotionally volatile; intense, yes, but also uneven. there’s a constant push of one giving more, adjusting more, trying more. it works for what their story is trying to portray, but it doesn’t carry the same sense of stability.
what i like is that the story doesn’t rush healing. their relationships feel messy, uncomfortable, sometimes even unhealthy but that’s exactly why it feels real. it’s not romanticizing perfection, it’s showing how love can be clumsy and still genuine.
what surprised me the most, though, is how much the story actually engages with heavier themes beneath the surface. hypersexuality, dependency, trauma, abuse, abandonment. these aren’t just thrown in for shock value. they shape how the characters think, react, and relate to each other. and despite that weight, the story doesn’t reduce them to their struggles. and somehow it still keeps the characters human instead of turning them into just “issues”.
Daeshik, especially, is the kind of character you don’t fully appreciate unless you understand that way of seeing people. overall this isn’t just a “horny bl.” it’s about learning how to love when you’ve only known survival before!

It's interesting how selective morality works in BL spaces. Stories built on coercion, manipulation, imprisonment, even non-consensual tropes get romanticized and called “dark but hot.”
But an age-gap/adoptive dynamic where the conflict is actually acknowledged and wrestled with suddenly becomes unredeemable.
You don’t have to like it. You can freely dropped it and move on. Discomfort is valid. Hypocrisy isn't.
What makes this chapter powerful isn’t that it erases Mincheol. It’s that it finally places him in the right time of Haesoo’s life.
When they were young, what they had was real. but it was formative, not eternal. Two broke kids in a leaking semi-basement, mistaking proximity for permanence, and endurance for destiny. At that age, love often disguises itself as salvation simply because survival feels profound. But survival is not the same thing as transcendence. First love always carries that kind of gravity.
“Kang Mincheol had no glass slippers. I had no pumpkin carriage.”
It’s a deliberate deconstruction of the fairytale they once projected onto themselves. There was no ordained fairytale, only two inexperienced people romanticizing deprivation. Their sincerity was genuine, but sincerity without evolution cannot withstand time. When immaturity goes unexamined and resentment calcifies, betrayal is not an anomaly. It is entropy.
So the nostalgia people feel is understandable. First love imprints deeply. It shapes your identity. It lingers. But nostalgia is not evidence of compatibility. It’s evidence of impact.
Mincheol represents the love that shaped her youth: intense, sacrificial, unrefined. His regret now feels tragic precisely because it is retrospective. He is grieving something she has already metabolized. The ache is real, but it arrives too late to alter the architecture of her growth.
Taeha, on the other hand, is not positioned as a fairytale correction. He is disruption. He enters when Haesoo is no longer naive, no longer romanticizing deprivation. He is called reckless, even disastrous not because he destroys her, but because he destabilizes her resignation. He forces a woman who has equated love with exhaustion to imagine that love might also mean rest.
When Haesoo says she wants to be the home he stays in, that is the most radical line in the chapter. It is not dependency. It is intentionality. For the first time, she is not clinging out of fear of abandonment. She is choosing permanence from a place of self-awareness. That distinction is profound.
This chapter is not about replacing one man with another. It is about temporal alignment. The person who helps you survive your early twenties is not always the person who can accompany you into emotional adulthood.
The flashbacks hurt because they are honest. The anger over cheating is justified because immaturity has consequences. But growth does not negate the past; it contextualizes it.
First love can be sacred and still not be sustainable.
Nostalgia can be tender and still not be destiny.
Regret can be sincere and still not be enough.
Cinderella does not live happily ever after because she endured the ashes.
She lives happily ever after because she recognizes when the fire is no longer warmth and chooses to step away.
And this chapter shows Haesoo doing exactly that.
So i read this manga some time ago i'm pretty sure i added it on my already read list but since mangago had bug issue it got wiped out. my sorry ass isn't sure if i rated it or didn't. it was 2 guys, i feel like they are in mafia they are both in suits too. all i can remember is when it came out it was so popular. and one of the scenes was they were boombayah in the car, just the right amount of muscular body type both men. i cannot remember anymore than this!! help!!!
