I wish author would have dived into expanding on the second couple. It had a lot of potential. I feel like the alpha only being into the beta because he told him how he felt was a reach. They could have had so much angst as the Alpha developed feelings for the beta. We could have gotten so many flashbacks to their lives together too.
This was a good read! I wanted to add my two cents so far.
I feel like people are quick to call the green hair guy toxic, but I feel like his reactions are quite normal. I feel like he knew all along he had some type of feelings for our MC. Towards the beginning of the story he said something like “he isn’t staying over at that guys house, means I still have a chance.” I imagine he kind of had already given up because MC was so in the closet with no signs of wanting to leave it. So when he saw that the MC was changing for the sake of someone else, ir hurt him. I know they weren’t technically dating, but going out or having a situationship with someone in the closet is hard. All the things he ended up saying were out of hurt/reactionary. On the flip side, our MC probably also had feelings for green haired guy at some point, but because green hair guy was never “serious” and kept sleeping around, MC felt safe to stay with him because it would never lead to anything serious. Their relationship was each others safe spaces at the time. They were friends with benefits and nothing else.
Now I feel like green hair guy is in a little bit of denial and in self destruct mode. If MC can change that much for someone else… then all he has to do is be more like Inwoo to win him back. Maybe from here on out we can say that green hair guy is being a bit toxic, before this I didn’t think so because MC wasn’t being great to him either. So if anything they were both toxic to each other.
Inwoo on the other hand is a classic anxiously attached person. He is doing anything and everything he can to keep MC because, because of his trauma, he is always low key waiting for people to leave him. So he has to do everything he can for them not to. Believe me we’ve all been there. Even if that means doing things you don’t want to, ie, telling MC to go on the blind date. He won’t get over his trauma until he is able to address the abandonment issues. What he is doing tho Can also be considered manipulative because he isn’t being genuine. And people pleasing is a form of manipulation imo. I’m curious how they’ll go about having him over come it.
Anywho! All that to say that the author did a good job in showing us how everyday people deal with real issues. It felt very believable and it was refreshing to see these concepts fleshed out so well!
this tbh,
I keep seeing so many people shit on Chungi/green haired guy but I think it is valid for him to feel uneasy/lonely at how Jiho treated being gay as something to hide, and I also think its valid for Jiho to feel scared about being found out, because I have been on both ends of this experience before and it is definitely a complex and frustrating thing.
That being said they both definitely did toxic things to each other, Jiho technically used Chungi, and Chungi was trying to interfere with Jiho and Inwoo's established relationship.
Inwoo is also not perfect, he has his own set of flaws to, like you said he is anxious and has attachment issues as a result of his childhood trauma.
I think the way the author has written these characters is done very well and in a very realistic manner, the characters are not perfect and have their own flaws which they will need to confront and address in order to grow and develop, as individuals, and also together as a couple (for Jiho and Inwoo).
Lmaoooo Omegas always think renuncia can handle the Alpha ruts.
Listennnnnnnnn, I’m such a sucker for Alphas marking the clueless Beta. I’ve only seen it a handful of times but every time it’s a chefs kiss. Also the professor can definitely get it!!!’ Such a great character design.
I NEED MORE RECS PLS SHARE
I do love a good fucked up story… hopefully they update this one soon!
I think that Heesung is going to be the person to reveal to us a little more on why or how JK came about having said Jinx. I feel like it’s not really like… a secret because JK frequented gay bars (if you remember when the Doc told him to kiss Dan, he told him he’d see him at the bars) to look for fuck buddies. And if I remember correctly, the guy he was fucking when he called Dan mentioned something about his Jinx too.
I dont think Heesung is truly a love rival because Dan is just starting to realize how he feels for JK. If anything I feel like Dan will always find him uncomfortable until we reach the climax where I think Heesung will put Dan in a compromising situation which will make JK misunderstand which will in turn make him take out his anger on Dan.
I think the boiling point will be that something is going to happen to Dans grandma, so he’ll have to go to the hospital, the same night JK has a match and that will be Dans breaking point… and possible Heesung swooping in to help Dan get to his grandma because JK will want to fuck per usual over anything else. (Which last time that happened he told Dan never to do it again) But I feel like grandma is either gonna almost die again or straight up die.
I will die on this hill and say JK was into Dan since the very beginning, when he stared at Dan the way he did when he saw him for the first time, then asked whose guest he was. If you pay attention the way he stares at Dan… also the first time he did it with Dan (and ever since) he does or raw… but when he kicked out the other ex fuck buddy there were condoms everywhere. But he literally is always staring at Dan. And Listennnnnnnnn I know he’s a toxic red flag, but even so I think he’s been into Dan since the beginning and I’m curious how he’ll act when they finally get together. My bet is sunshineXgrumpy trope. Almost like Dangerous convinience store.
I’m curious to know if JK’s Jinx is related to an ex lover and if the author will introduce us to that lover or if it’ll be like BJ Alex where it’s more of just a haunting memory. Either way, I do agree with a lot of the comments of how the format of the story is really similar to BJ Alex, and JK is probably going to realize he loves Dan in the same way BJ Alex did. But even so I don’t mind cliches.
ok but dont compare that green flag dangerous convenience store relationship to this mess, ahjuicy doesn't deserve it
come on damn right, justice for ahjuicy
Lmaoooo. I meant more the trope, not the actual couple. They aren’t anything alike as characters.
YEAH DW I KNOW I JUST FELT THE NEED TO SAY IT
I just KNEW the brother was in love with him too. He was the most puzzled that Namnu started not sleeping with them anymore. I have a feeling Pgyun or however you spell his name is going to do something to distance himself from his Dad and the angst is coming along. Which sucks because Namnu already has such low self esteem I don’t think he can handle it, like his brother said. ):
Im a little confused on the plot line. So Pi-gyun killed his uncle because his uncle wanted to kill Namnu right? But I guess the uncle didn’t die… so then who is the person who Namnu is always talking to? The one he said to give his son back to him?
Pil-gyun ‘killed’ the head of the crocodiles, the one who turned him into an assassin, because said person ordered to kill Nanmu. The person Nanmu talks to about the whole “give me my son back” thingy, is Pil-gyun’s biological father, the gangster head and Nanmu’s boss/‘father’ figure.
Hear me out… I reread all of Jinx recently and I feel like ML has been into Dan since he accidentally touched his penis in chapter one, lmao. There are a lot of lingering stares and glances from ML towards Dan. And a lot of the things he’s done have been reactionary. While I am not saying that ML has good intentions at all or reacted the right way, I am saying that he was at least interested from the beginning and a lot of the things he had done up to this point have been to appease Dan in some way.
He’s started to at least be a little better with Dan, with the kissing and the nipple play, and you can tell he likes it when Dan also gets off, I mean I could be totally projecting but I feel like ML just sucks at showing interest and has hella trauma. It gives me Painter of the night vibes honestly.
ML? might be dumb of me but do you mean "male lead"?
I think you mean accidentally squeeze his penis.
He has been paying men for sex. He had a regular jinx partner for months to where the uke thought maybe they were dating (implied by JK).
“See, the thing is, I have this jink, no what matter happens, I need to have sec the night before a match. It does not matter who my partner is but it needs to be a SATISFYING fuck .. for me to win.”
He wasn’t satisfied and he wanted Dan.
You are not projecting.
You are just starting to see his true character through what I call his facade. My friend says if you view it as he feel in love at first sight (at penis squeeze lol) things would make sense in his actions. He may not understand and probably doesn’t. He has a long way to go before he is in love. Which you used has been into Dan since then.
Many people here will not see this because they are haters and want to make him more toxic than he really is.
Oh yeah, he does sucks at expressing himself.
Wanting to make him more toxic than he really is? No babes, he is toxic. It doesn’t matter if it’s because he sucks at expressing himself or has done certain things to appease Dan. At the end of the day he has been outwardly cold and cruel to him. We haven’t even reached the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his asshole behavior because you know something super f*cked up always happens before the redemption stage. He’s already displayed a lot of awful behavior so who knows what the author has cooked up in the kitchen for him to do to Dan.
“ Many people here will not see this because they are haters and want to make him more toxic than he really is. ”
“Make him more toxic then he really is.”
In English that means he is toxic. However, haters over exaggerate his toxic behavior. You were triggered and took my comment out of context. It does matter that he sucks at expressing himself and has done things to appease Dan. It shows he isn’t as toxic as you crave him to be, babes. He has not displayed much awful behavior. I am not defending JK. At the end of the day he has not been outwardly cold and cruel to him at the time. Get with the program or drop the story. But your lies from your hate is awful. Your comment is more toxic than the story.
Has he beat Dan? No? Stop acting like he has.
Has he cut Dan? No? Stop acting like he has.
Has he forced Dan to live inside the house without the sun and only be a sex slave. No? Stop acting like he has.
This story is like a Disney story compared to some of the other stories there. I was just speaking the truth of the story. I was not defending JK. It is ridiculous how you ignore I said he was toxic to write a unnecessary comment. What you did here was wrong. Please stop.
I needed to proof read that lol.
But your lies from your hate are awful*
An unnecessary comment*
Yeah, I don’t think he even realizes that he was super interested in the beginning. I wouldn’t say love at first sight, but definitely stare struck. But because he kind of sucks so much, JK didn’t even realize it himself. And probably won’t for a while. Like why would he even call Dan when he already had a for sure f*ck buddy?
Like I get that he isn’t a green flag, but most of us aren’t really reading this story because it’s fluffy. I like more toxic stories that turn into fluff, lmao. But I know the majority of the reader disagree.
But I agree with everything you said!
The angst is here!!!! D:
While I do love Pil-gyum and Namnu together, I have a feeling to cope Namnu is gonna hook up with thah one brother in love with him. And I’m low key here for it, lol. I love unrequited love. And I feel like this author always has some for of it in their stories.
