Everyone was raving about this on TikTok, and really its kind of a nothing burger. I feel like stories with no sex or a lot less sex, get instantly more praise because they're viewed as more serious. Like this didn't really touch on any of the topics it brought up, it got close to talking about them but then the characters would suddenly act all mysterious and quit talking, and then we would get a flashback/flashforward. There wasn't any conformation or real development at least with Sunwoo. They both just moved on and decided the past wasn't worth mulling over. Okay?? Could've done that sooner then. Also the (ex) teacher × student relationship, just being thrown in there as a sub plot, is kinda wrong imo. That's a serious subject. Minhyuk only had their teacher as a grown up in his life... and then they got romantically involved. That's icky, no matter how "persistent" Minhyuk was supposed to be. If you wanna cut contact, you can! If you find it ethically questionable, you probably shouldn't do it. Teach was wrong on this. Overall an easy read, but not as nuanced or layered people made it out to be.
At first I was frustrated with Seoyun, bc he was kinda mean and vengeful for little to no reason and also he was writing a novel all by himself. Cause who said he was married? who said his wife died? Why are you running to all these assumptions... Even when he heard hyeonwoo's mom is in the usa, he was like "oh they just said that, she must be dead" LIKE NO BRO SHES IN THE STATES. WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR COMPREHENSION SKILLS?? OMGGGG. But then Hyeon started pissing me off too. I started understanding Seoyun. He really confessed his feelings to his friend, had sex with him and then blocked him... bro... You didn't have sex by yourself. Why would you just ghost your friend or anyone just like that. But okay you wanted to move on. WHY DID YOU CUT HIM OFF AGAIN WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING. and then he tried to do it AGAIN. LIKE UGH. Anyway, now that they're together I hope they calm down and learn to fucking communicate (I'm on ch 35).
Things I liked: the sister, the art style, seoah.
How can you fucking do that to him???? How can you fucking rape a rape victim, after talking to him about taking care of his mental health and claiming you still love him. LIKE IK SEUNGEON was already bad and selfish af, BUT COME OOOOOON. I actually can't deal with how much that scene pissed me tf off. I'm reading this with tears in my eyes for what jiwook has gone through, he's now suicidal, he can't even trust a dog anymore AND YOU ASSAULT HIM IN HIS SLEEP IM CRASHING OUUUUUTTT










Does the Beta stay as a Beta? Or are there hints that he'll turn omega?
He does end up turning into an omega
