I love everything about this, from the slow burn to the communication, it breaks every red flag stereotype that’s prevalent in a lot of BLs. I found myself giggling and kicking my feet while reading this
I read this in one go hoping to see the top get some redemption arc but he just pmo from start to end :( it felt like his tragic backstory explained why he acted the way he does, but it doesn’t excuse his selfishness and his pushiness. I even found myself rooting for the Hochae guy bc he was such a green flag, even letting go of his crush bc he knew he liked someone else. Beautiful art but this type of trope doesnt do it for me :/
same for me, the seme is just your typical selfish seme, and suddenly love struck seme. I hope theres like more to it but nahh
I usually don’t like omega verse tropes bc the omega is always written as hyper feminized or sexualized, but this completely breaks that stereotype and we get to see the couple build a strong relationship with equal effort and respect for each other
