so i just finished binge reading this, and this is the first time ive read + with the knowledge of what would happen to yunin, so it might be a skewed take.
I completely understand how aaron would turn out the way he is because from the very beginning, it’s already shown that he’s incapable of handling/feeling emotions like a normal person; aka he’s like a sociopath or psychopath (im using these terms loosely.) He knows (and WE KNOW) he loves Yujin, but his love is obsessive to the point of seeing Yujin is as like an equivalent to a toy he can’t get—so there’s definitely an abnormality in his expression of love.
And like, I get the point that people don’t wanna see the rape shit and stuff (bcs there’s too much of that in BL), but I mean did we read the same story LMAOO—like you could not have expected this man to go any other route than this one when it’s been hinted all throughout the story. Their whole schtick revolves ,almost majority of the time, around sex—I could not for the life of me skip some scenes because there’s pieces of dialogue in between them that I believe is integral to their character. So like i’m not too entirely shocked about the confinement arc, maybe im incredibly desensitized.
Anyways, I do wish this season had gone another way other than this route—I think it would be better to see the arc in another way so that there’s like a variety, or a deeper sense of obsession/emotion that Aaron would portray so that Yujin would never escape his grasp. Resorting to the typical confinement-rape scene is just so overused atp, but I do see it as an inevitable event since just like I said, the majority of their schtick revolves around sex
this is my third reread of the story, but one detail i keep on being confused about was hyunsoo’s past department. in the more recent chapters, its stated that he was in the marketing department, but like in chapter 1, the gossip among coworkers were talking about him probably being in the web design department—which is a totally different place than the web department, and the fact that he’s moved to the editorial dep kinda proves that this guy is a menace in both numbers and design.
but yes, back to my question, is this proof that they rlly tried hard to keep the scandal quiet? thats why the gossip is just gossip? or is this a case of the inconsistency of details?
I think its more than “hes gay” or “hes bi” (rose), this is an actual entity that was curious and drawn by how edgar looked like—i dont believe that there was any romantic feelings involved. Rather, it was a relationship something like a child and their toy. It’s been a while since ive read the novel, and while I did joke about their relationship being doomed yaoi, their actual connection was never meant to be something of a romantic or platonic one. Rose is just a curious demon, thats all

this… i didnt expect it to go this way after years of marinating. what the fuck
came back here just to say that I hope both of your pillows stay cold. I hope that everytime you wake up, your muscles and bones dont ache. Wishing you have a great morning, followed by a fantastical afternoon, which all ends in a calm and breezy night. I hope you have enough melatonin to make you sleep atleast 8-10 hours so that you wake up refreshed. Add that with a sleep that doesn’t make you groggy in the morning.











that fight and make up scene was just too funny for me
