You don't need a shitty seme with a redemption arc, you don't need debt and debtor, you don't need dark themes.
You can just have two people genuinely loving each other, , who does communicate (with only a tiny sprinkle of understandable, totally reasonable miscommunication) who are going through their individual hardships and come together and make a S Class story.
The internal monologue, the absolute green flags (both of them). The resonance it'll stir in people. And the Godiva level chocolate cherry on top, the art?
This is the GOAT of the GOATs for not just BL but the manhwa as a whole.
Good lord the amount of baitey uploads by previous uploaders who keep updating the same chapter again and again !
I forgot how much I love this story. The toxicity was just .
Not many stories capture this, that in fact the ones you love, wholly and deeply, knows exactly how to maim you with words.
This arc was horrible to read but for those who want to know, this low is matched 120% by it's high by the end, deservedly or not.
I knew it would come, I've known for a while, but it still hurts just as much as the first time I saw it in Season 1.
Oh no Su-ah is at fault, he shouldn't have scented him without permission, it ruined his Juhyeok's life....
Oooo ah, pearl clutch, pearl clutch and pearl clutch some more
No, I'm not hearing the argument.
Judo has been established in this story to be an Alpha dominated sport. Are any of you going to watch the one you love be thrown into the lions den without even the slightest protection, doesn't matter how well trained those lions are.
We already saw what happened when Juhyeok went into hear and how the average Alpha responded.
If Juhyeok was going along with life without Judo or similar situations where he puts himself at risk regardless? Sure, what Su-ah did is unforgivable, but that's not the fact pattern is it?
The hardest pill for y'all to swallow? Juhyeok got this far because of Su-ah.
Imagine you are a judo sensei, and you have an omega in an alpha dominated sport, is sensitive to alpha pheromones, and is at risk to go into heat during practice because that's reality. Do you keep that omega there, of course not.
So yeah, I'm team Su-ah.
What exactly did he do wrong? Scented Juhyeok, which was terrible because? Because what precisely ?
Juhyeok was able to get to this point because of that scenting otherwise a whole bunch of alphas would been all over him making his judo even harder to do.
Su-ah didn't choose to be an alpha, nor did Juhyeok an omega, but which of the two made their manifestation the thing that threw years of friendship down the drain?
Su-ah is the only one living in the real world where Juhyeok hasn't, his 'hard work' is provided by Su-ah scenting him so he can train with alphas. And Su-ah never gave up that friendship and love all these years, whilst Juhyeok treated him like some parasite, and still does so when he needed Su-ah
