idk why, but i’ve never been this excited for a manhwa. every time i see the update on a sunday it makes my day, i get all giddy and shit no other manhwa is the same for me. i tend to forget what day of the week manhwas update bc i read so much but this one stuck with me. i cant believe it started in 2023 and i’ve not been a SINGLE chapter off/or been behind on an update for more than a day, not even ‘half’ dropped it for a SECOND. i’m someone who hates rereading because it feels like a chore but i reread both times a new season dropped. this rewired me. what a magical read
dohyun has liked him since the beginning, he’s not leading him on. he has his reasons for not telling him everything, just wait to see how the story progresses oml. there are two very important words for this story. DELAYED DECODING. be patient OR read the novel
and why r ppl conveniently forgetting what the mc did to the ml LAST chapter??? why drop the story when the ml is keeping a secret, and not drop it when the mc tries to force the ml to sleep with him?? hypocritical
i just want to point what i think the author is showing in this chapter. yes it’s set in america, so in theory it should be accepted or significantly *more* normalised, but that isn’t always how it plays out in real life. legal acceptance does not mean social acceptance, even if it’s a blue state. the author included the scene with luke’s old classmate on purpose, including the pressure to get back together with his ex. it shows prejudice still may exist in their state, and that what is expected of him, is to date a woman. even an unhealthy and toxic relationship is more socially accepted than his current relationship.
at the end of the day their relationship is in a fragile phase. the author shows what being in a gay relationship is like after living your whole life thinking you’re straight. luke talks about having to relearn how to act in public, and how it’s difficult to not be able to be openly affectionate with your partner, because it goes against everything from his previous relationship. that it’s almost like being in a relationship for the first time. considering they just mutually confirmed their feelings, facing prejudice could hurt them. you never truly know what reaction you will get and it’s best to play it safe and be careful in public because it could ruin their relationship











im already about to sob and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET
