After rereading this, I realize Taejun is going to question who the dad of Geonwoo's baby bc he thinks the birth control pill he's using is enough (PSA: IT NEVER IS! WEAR PROTECTION!!!), and he thinks Geonwoo has another guy on the side.
Prepare everyone, this is gonna be a messy ride. I just hope the author does a nicely paced and satisfying redemption arc for Taejun
Idk how to feel. I'm happy Yuta is finally experiencing some happiness and love but at the same time, Seunghyun still not offering an answer to why it took him so long to realize his feelings or not even SAYING how he really feels about Yuta (like saying I love you or whatever) is still breaking my heart. Why can you say ANY excuse?
Yuta really is too forgiving because I could never. In fact, I would die not meeting Seunghyun again lol. He's so much stronger than me to be putting up with everything and sacrificing his everything for a man who didn't give a shit about him for 10 fucking years.
I'm back to being angry at Seunghyun now lmao
Can't*
I'm with you on this. It honestly feels like the author heavily favors Seunghyun.
He left Yuta behind, forgot about him for ten years, and continued living his life with his hyung. Now that his hyung is gone, suddenly he wants Yuta to stay by his side? That feels incredibly selfish to me.
What frustrates me even more is that he never really had to sacrifice much. He still has the casino, and he still gets Yuta in the end.
When I compare him to Dooshik from Pearl Boy, the difference is impossible for me to ignore. I know they're completely different characters, but Dooshik went above and beyond for the person he loved. With Seunghyun, I just don't feel that same level of devotion.
And don't even get me started on how easily Yuta forgave him. Yuta spent TEN YEARS being abused and suffering alone after being abandoned. That's not something I can just brush aside.
I want Yuta to be happy, but at this point, I'd rather see him find that happiness with someone else.
Agree with this but I find it impossible for Yuta to be with someone else due to his trauma. He held onto his happy memories with Seunghyun like a clutch, waiting for him each day for those 10 years where nothing happened.
What bothers me too is had Yuta not gotten the diagnosis of him dying and taken action to see Seunghyun, he would've died and Seunghyun wouldn't even have known. Idk. It all feels so hollow. And the whole Jaeil thing being mentioned in the latest chapter rubbed me the wrong way "I know how you feel", Yuta, stand up lol. If you're jealous or mad about it, you don't have to empathize with him about it.
It's really like to the author, Yuta was an afterthought. Because had Yuta not taken action, this story wouldn't exist and Seunghyun will either die alone or have his gay awakening with some other dude.
I do hope we see Seunghyun suffer and sacrifice some thing bc the levels of affection and effort are so off balance between these two. Yuta is sacrificing everything so Seunghyun gets his casino unharmed even in his own death meanwhile Seunghyun??? Losing Yuta? That's it?
I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again: I feel like the author has a strong preference for stories involving coercive relationships. Pilwon seems to be one of her favorite characters, and she likes the stories include themes where the top forces the bottom into sexual situations.
Personally, it feels like she couldn't make Dooshik do that to Jooha, so she created this story instead and used Yuta forcing a BJ on Seunghyun as a way to justify Seunghyun's later actions. After that, Seunghyun repeatedly assaulted Yuta, yet many readers excuse it by saying, "Yuta did it first."
What frustrates me is that Yuta was hurt over and over again, and the story still seems to move toward forgiveness and a happy ending. Seunghyun abandoned him, betrayed him, insulted him, and assaulted him, yet Yuta ends up forgiving him surprisingly easily.
To be honest, I would rather see Seunghyun end up with someone else and let Yuta have a new love interest or even a completely different storyline. Why make Yuta suffer through all of this if the conclusion is simply for him to forgive Seunghyun and move on as if everything can be fixed?
I think part of the reason Yuta clings so strongly to Seunghyun is because, after entering GP, Seunghyun (in the past) was the only who ever showed him any kindness or gave him a reason to keep going. That attachment became his way of surviving.
But if Yuta had someone else in his life—someone who genuinely loved him, cherished him, and gave him the safety and warmth he had always longed for—I honestly think he could move on from Seunghyun easily. If someone like Dooshik had entered Yuta's life instead, I think Yuta would finally learn what it truly means to love and to be loved.
true facts, bro! I totally agree with your points... it looks like what the author couldn't do between Pilwon and Jooha in the original story, they tried to do it here... I love the fluff and cute small moments the author writes, they are really good at doing that, and IMHO they should try to write a mild angst+more fluff manhwa rather than such traumatizing stories... at this point I'm continuing reading this just to know what fate Yuta is being dealt with
