I really see nothing wrong with blondie, he's genuinely sweet and friendly in this past arc especially! It's not like he should expect a guy to fall in love with him the constant "punishing" kind of annoys me ngl
I think the problem with him is he’s such an unreliable narrator. He made us think that theyre not close and that Hyun was the bad guy for ghosting him after sleeping with him, and now he wants some emotional revenge or smth. Also hes really annoying at first coz he keeps insisting that Hyun is nothing to him but he actually wants this cookie so bad. Like bro denial is a river in Egypt
i think it’s his mentality. he’s been friends w this dude since high school, but internally views him as a plaything, and then internally demeans him if the guy adverts his expectations. i guess it’s just that his kindness feels insincere with ulterior motives, even if he’s just bluffing out of self-denial. because even if he’s thinking this way to explain his interest in the guy, the fact that he seems to believe his way of thinking to be justified when it’s a really demeaning perspective on his own friend just feels icky.
Literally what even is the point of this love triangle
Then I will not read this if that was the case, I hate this type of story. I mean I think I knew this from the start because of the cover, the color brown hand in uke chin in the cover. It's love triangle there's three the cover, that haven’t read this yet just glimpse because I want to read this if it's just the two male leads








Idk why the pacing feels so off in this story, I wonder if the novel is any better because I'm really not feeling the romance in this its so stilted and awkward, their feelings both feel out of nowhere, and the sleeping together so early and with no build up just felt off, if not even a bit creepy I feel like I'm reading a psychological horror lol
This is really quick pacing compared to the novel. The novel felt more slow burn and you get a lot of the inner monologue where the feelings and emotions are expressed
I feel so sorry it comes out like that to you ..... The novel is much, muuuuch better, please consider giving it a try. It is very poetic, the world building much more interesting, there's lots of nuance and accountability, characters more fully fledged and better shaped overall. Even I think it's very stiff and awkward which is so disappointing ┗( T﹏T )┛
