Give a not dramatic reason to explain why his dad abuse him, why he has severe anxiety & slept around seeking for love/attention before, and why his dad has a grudge against a dude of his kid's age.
And all some of you can mutter is just "that's it?" because it doesn't involve drug, mafia, murder, sexual abuse/rape ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
the older brother who likes romance movies Rio was talking about and then quickly change the topic. Especially when Rio & Sasaki are lookalike.
And the cute slippers & bra are maybe from his younger sister (Was this mentioned in Toru' ( ̄へ ̄)s story? I forgor). Since Rio is an older brother himself, he likes to look out for people around him
you think so? It kinda sounded like sasaki is someone who is his age or close to it, that he knew from somewhere else and then he became part of the nightlife industry. Considering that is implied that he's much younger than Rio, the older brother would be even older too so that would make it more difficult to image a logical conection between the two. also Idk it would be odd that two brothers worked in the same industry imo
And yea the girly stuff is definitely from his younger sister lol
I got the impression that Sasaki is much older than Ikeda rather than opposite, like Sasaki purposely got close to him because Ikeda was young & naive. There is something suspicious about the way Rio changed the topic too, like he either doesn't want Ikeda to know more about his older brother or his older bro brings up bad memories & Rio doesn't want to talk about him anymore. There could be a possibility that Rio became a host because his older bro fucked up something.
Lol we were both way off about the younger sister, the neighbor visits so often she left her own slippers ( ̄∇ ̄") . I expected the orphan & monetary problem backstory for Rio but the other part is so dark.
I guess Rio becomes the mom friend because he likes the feeling of being wanted & getting relied on so he's less lonely.
Like with his hyung's dorky personality, what did Yeon expect him to fucking say ? To serenade him with a big bouquet & a diamond ring for him to finally understand?? Kihoon literally told him to his face he likes him at first sight and drew a fucking heart around his name in plain daylight/public in front of his face. Them let him popped his bussy's cherry. Come one bro
Your reply is a bit confusing to read. You meant the Top asked Bot if "he likes women" as in his sexuality and Bot just assumed "likes women as in friends/people?" right?
Really, it's Top's fault for being vague and Bot can like BOTH women & men so... Yeon can literally just ask if Kihoon is serious back in HS and this would have solve itself lol










I feel bad reading that the translator having to explain the characters & plot to the readers. You do a great job Mintsprout, don't let these comment dishearten you.
If you can't read between the line why his kid brother who is like 20 years apart from ML have to call him Dad in public & only hyung when they're alone, and his mom living far apart from them. Then you're a kind of moron or a kid (get off this site)
I even read comments blaming me for translating it wrong
I scan for readers like you, adults with media literacy skills!! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
