My heart is just shattered. ╥﹏╥ I have been skimming through raws since forever. And I took the time this evening to read the summaries by the lovely maryluz_mty on tumblr. I've so grateful to the people who let us have free access and share the material with us. <3
In chapter 38, we saw Soohyuk get taken away while he was sitting on the throne, with a cape on. He didn't wear the crown, so his intention was never to literally become the next ruler. He sat on Wolfgang's chair to sacrifice himself for his lover's sake. The people in red were expecting to capture Wolfgang, so they were surprised to see Soohyuk. But Soohyuk became a captive willingly. (I suspect that maybe this prolonged time for Wolfgang to leave the palace; resources would then be divided between searching for Wolfgang and dealing with Soohyuk.) Soohyuk ensured Wolfgang would be uninvolved and sent away, to protect the king. Even though Wolfgang had expressed that he wanted to know what Soohyuk was planning and that they fight together in chapter 34, Soohyuk knew his plan would fall apart if it were shared. Wolfgang would never agree to have Soohyuk be sacrificed. :(
The interrogation to Soohyuk is plain BRUTAL. He is tied to a chair for who knows how long. His fingers and toes are BLEEDING because all his nails (yes, toes and fingers - all 20 of them) have been ripped off. The people in red poured water on Soohyuk, without treating his wounds. Soohyuk has been burnt by an iron and his thighs are bleeding. His face is bruised, so he's been beaten. He was even fed a purple liquid, which can KILL him if the side effects kick in. And what do these people in red want from Soohyuk?? They want to know where Wolfgang is. But Soohyuk ENDURED all that, for the sake of Wolfgang's safety. Soohyuk is clearly placing Wolfgang's wellbeing over his own. And Soohyuk shows no regrets for the plan he made and the suffering he's facing now; because it's all worth it to him. :'(
The people in red leave the torture room. And Soohyuk, his knees on the floor with his hands tied to his back, after being forced to drink the purple liquid... Despite all the physical pain and mental resistance he faced, he remembers one image: Wolfgang's smile. With his forehead to the floor, not even having the energy to lift himself up, Soohyuk cries alone in this dark room. And Soohyuk says, "I, I love him... I love him..." with only Wolfgang's smile to hold onto. </3
The story has been so tragic. Soohyuk and Wolfgang are just so selfless. Here, we see Soohyuk willingly protecting Wolfgang by sacrificing himself. Soohyuk was misunderstood when he spent time with Duke Haiyen (redhead). Wolfgang was unconscious and sent away. But how will our king react when he finds out about Soohyuk's plan? I can already imagine how devastated Wolfgang will be when he finds Soohyuk... I'm getting reminded of when Soohyuk stood naked in the snow in the first season, and Wolfgang felt powerless. Even now that he's king, I can imagine that helpless feeling will return to Wolfgang :(
I hope Soohyuk gets all the rest and treatment he needs soon. <3 My poor baby doesn't deserve any of this. For the sake of love, you can do anything for that person. But that person will be devastated when he finds out what you lived through, Soohyuk!! Please cherish yourself :'(
I was naive to think Soohyuk and Wolfgang would no longer face physical and mental suffering... ╥﹏╥ ┗( T﹏T )┛
Anyways, I had to let out these thoughts before going to bed. Thanks for reading this far! The raw and summary links are here:

Bruh I scanned the raws an hr ago and was depressed thinking that Soohyuk betrayed Wolfgang and was skimming to take the throne for himself after ALL this time and EVERYTHING they had gone through! I don't think I would've been able to fall asleep peacefully tonight (1:35am) But thanks to the Yaoi gods that I decided to reread some of the comments and found yours! I clicked the link so fast that even The Flash couldn't rival my speed anyways!
I feel so much better after checking out ch.39! I feel really bad for Soohyuk but I'm even MORE relieved he didn't betray Wolfgang. Idk if I'm ceazy for thinking like this but I felt like it was harder to handle the fact that he betrayed Wolfgang than him being tortured! Physical pain I feel, can't compare to the emotional/heartbreak pin caused by despicable betrayal. *sighs* I'm gonna stop rambling...but I do sincerely hope Wolfgang rescues Soohyuk and Kills all these motherf%$kers! And bring true peace to the Kingdom!
Soohyuk
I hope Wolfgang will rescue Soohyuk in time and take out all the dudes in red too.
I'm glad you found my post and that this relieved what you were feeling before bedtime! It was 3:34 AM when I first posted lol. I'm someone who's totally got to let out the feels before I go to bed too xDD
I also find it interesting that there are readers who genuinely believed Soohyuk betrayed Wolfgang. After all that Soohyuk has been through to help Wolfgang be king and our young treasurer prioritizing the nation - that thought just couldn't sit well with me, because it completely went against his character; that's not how he was in the first season and what's been translated as of chapter 14 of the second season. Again, Soohyuk was sitting on the throne, but he didn't wear the crown. I thought that was a smooth indicator that, "Ah ha, we get to see the plan in motion." Before that as well, Soohyuk kissed Wolfgang on the forehead in chapter 34 and was on his knees beside the king's bed... There was a sense of sadness and longing to it, and there was certainly tenderness. (Wolfgang was asleep in that moment, so there was no reason for Soohyuk to act in whatever way for a sake of a plan; that action was from the heart) :'( I think one of the beauties of this story is that readers can be critical and not be quick to assume; not everything may be what it appears (●'◡'●)ﾉ - the story is just so intricate, and I really applaud Haga and Kang Ji-young for their work <33
"Idk if I'm ceazy for thinking like this but I felt like it was harder to handle the fact that he betrayed Wolfgang than him being tortured!" <-- Good news is that Soohyuk never betrayed Wolfgang, so that was never a fact :D And assuming Soohyuk doesn't face irreparable physical pain, he will heal from it. So, if the physical injuries can heal, then I see what you mean about that being more tolerable than emotional pain. Being hurt emotionally can stay with someone for a lifetime... :/
I want some fluff afterwards lol!! I want to see Wolfgang take care of Soohyuk and check-in on the latter. <33 I can already imagine Wolfgang holding Soohyuk in his arms, and that thought alone warms my heartヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ We'll also get the more detailed smut whenever Haga and Kang Ji-young go on a platform that allows 19+ content ;-----;
┗( T﹏T )┛I'm glad to see another fan on board with me <33 I really hope we don't see any more torture done to Soohyuk. I have a bad feeling though, that Wolfgang got sent faraway... I just hope that when Wolfgang does come back, Soohyuk wouldn't have suffered much worse than he already has >< The poor boy is literally crying, holding onto life remembering Wolfgang's smile... ╥﹏╥
Yesss I don't understand whyyyy there are ppl who believed that Shin betrayed Wolfie I mean...are we reading the same webtoon? If you read ch 30 onwards I assume you also read ch 18 whereeeeee Shin was panic and crying (kinda) at Wolfie's reckless act. Is that an act of someone who's disloyal to his majesty? Nooo right?
I see what you mean. I think maybe some people thought Soohyuk betrayed Wolfgang, due to confusion (e.g. not reading the summaries). Not being able to read Korean can have some people rely on translator apps, which aren't always accurate ;-----; They can sometimes have the funniest translations honestly :P But the good news is that, when the story is translated, people will know Soohyuk never betrayed Wolfgang :-) I hope this will be a good demonstration for some readers to not be quick to assume, and to trust what we know. Even in real life, misunderstandings can occur when we think something happened based on what we see, without knowing the full story. ><
I found the story here -> https://toonkor.org/%EB%B0%A4%EC%9D%98-%EB%AF%B8%EB%A1%9C I 'read' the raws and the main couple seem very passionate, I like that! *_____* The latest chapter to be updated on the site is chapter 30...
Does anyone know if it's translated? What's the English name? What's happening LOL?? It seems the main characters could see spirits or ghosts...? The side character seems cool and I wonder if the guy he was about to sleep with is his lover...?
Most likely not translated
Google translates it as "night maze"
I found the story here https://toonkor.org/%EA%B7%B8%EC%9D%98-%EC%B7%A8%ED%96%A5 Does anyone know if it's translated?? If not, I'd love to read chapter summaries/recaps at least.(〜￣△￣)〜
I like the art style. It seems the two main characters knew each other in high school (that piano flashback was adorable <33). The grey-haired character is a gigolo/host...? Is the seme engaged??
aw the only language thats not korean i found is chinese
Wow, Chinese! Are there more chapters there? Do you know what's happening? I'm curious. Thanks for your response :)
I was up at 4 AM last night when I stumbled upon the raws. THANK YOU for sharing the English translation!!
I'm happy MD and Chanwoo are having a fun BDSM life. But honestly, who is that person who gave bruises to Chanwoo?? >___< If there was BDSM with somebody other than MD, shouldn't they know it's supposed to be fun without leaving bruises behind?? That goes into the physical abuse category. :/ But overall, I'm glad MD and Chanwoo are having a consensual time together. I hope there's no angst to this side story <33
And its not like one is forcing the other to do it. They both love it, they both have limits they dont cross and they never go as far as to hurt each other to the point of bleeding or bruising.
Its way better and cuter to see a healthy bdsm relationship than a toxic one
