I wish they could have conveyed the novel version well because compared to what I have read, Yugeon initiated the kiss and the scene was written so well from the narration to their conversation, you could feel both of their desperation and desires for each other.
It will be shown in the coming chapters. I don’t think the ML will allow the rest of the team to touch the MC in S3 after that. It went from hate sex to lovemaking fueled by desire and desperation that both were trying to convey to each other through their bodies. It was amazing.
Now, I want to read the novel. Can you tell me what s2, chap70 in the novel is?
this sounds so beautiful :( mutual, desperate love despite being so toxic, it’s like yugeon being a moth drawn to a flame.
are you guys reading the novel translated by hsubeans?
I just read whatever is available via NU.
It's Chapter 9: Dying Light in HSUBEANS translation.
It's really beautiful, and yes I read the novel on that site. Also, as a dark romance reader, the story was painful and beautiful at the same time. Majority won't like this spoiler but there's no chasing arc in the story, in my understanding at least of what chasing arc is.
I'm gonna share the author's sentiment about the story because it says a lot about the plot and the dynamics of the two.
"the main theme of 'Profundis' is love and hate. I wanted to write a story in which the characters who had already lived a miserable life meet each other and proceed to ruin their lives even more, hurt each other, hate each other terribly, but still, I wanted to write a love story nonetheless.
Love and hate are contradictory emotions. But I think it's also possible that loave and hate can exist at the same time."
Yugeon's POV (fav)
"I will never forgive you. I know you don't want my forgiveness either. And I won't ask you for forgiveness either. Forever, and for good"
Narration:
They might sometimes lash out at the other in a fit of rage, scratching, biting, glaring at each other with killing intent in their eyes. Nonetheless, they were in love. With a heart that set stars on fire, a love that was twisted somewhere like the sky and earth that blind deep-sea fish dream of, but that was something they would never realize.
Shinjae feelings about Yugeon
"His love was fulfilled only by dragging Yugeon down to the depths of his own, and eventually dying at Yugeon's hands. Yugeon was his sin, his virtue, and it was a love-hate fate that finally came to him. It would be the end of dystopia"
To be honest, the story is really messed up but I still love it.
Thankyou so much for this!,,
