This could've been so my cup of tea if it weren't omegaverse, if the beta still had short hair, and if he were actually the top !!
I like this author because they usually break away from the typical top/bottom stereotypes, but this one just ended up being the same old conventional tall alpha on top, smaller beta uke dynamic.
100% agree, am really suprised at author for doing omegaverse, just very oddly stereotypical for them, and quite literally does not need to be here in this story anyway. And I feel the same way, I would at least have been intrigued if they made it a bit more trope breaking making an taller alpha bottom and a shorter beta top- just kind of meh overall, author is one of my fave of all time, and im sure it will still be pretty peak, just had an opportunity for it to stand out a lot more and add something different.
Wait ! Someone actually said that the Beta is the Top and the Alpha is the Bottom so this changes everything !!
Knew this author wouldn't disappoint ~ (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I really hope it's true (/TvT)/
I saw that!!! Eeeee, excitement restored lol
My curse is always getting more invested in the second couples ╥﹏╥ !
Give me more of Kaneda, he's such a bashful cutiepie, exactly how I like them >w<
I love you for this ! We need more of the second couple, they're lowkey more interesting xP
Oh yes... oh no !! I didn't think the manhwa would adapt the third timeline !!!
I'm so excited for it, but I'm also so scared of what's coming.
I love this story so much, so I'm really glad we'll get to see them again ~♡
Now that I've calmed down after my earlier long-assed review of the chapter, I can finally have another BREAKDOWN over the fact that there's only ONE CHAPTER LEFT !!!!!
I'm so not ready ! NooOOooooOO. I'M NOT
This means the runaway arc is next chapter. This means it's going to be even angstier than it already is. This means... no more Pilsang for months !! I can't—.... *starts sobbing* (/TДT)/
And no more baby Pilsang with his idiot chairman acting all tsundere one minute and all lovey-dovey the next ╥﹏╥ I NEED THEM IN LOVE. I NEED MY SHAYLA TO BE HAPPY !! I Need my weekly dose of them x'(
This story has become such a part of my weekly routine that I genuinely can't imagine not waiting for a new chapter every Thursday...
Please from where did you heard that next chapter will be season finale? ┗( T﹏T )┛
Yeah, the author did say the first season would have around 56-58 chapters, but now it's official the next chapter is gonna be the season finale ╥﹏╥
KILL MEEEEE I CAN NOT WITH THE ANGST I WANT THEM TO CUT THE CHASE AND ADMIT but yeah we will see running arc bc pilsang loves him so much and doesn’t wanna hurt his business or life..
I was so right about the arranged marriage being moved up....
I'm absolutely heartbroken for Pilsang.
Not only did he cry again because of Jooeon, but he had actually decided he was going to tell him everything: about the fake heats, about his hyung knowing he was involved in the company's research and that he was planning to withdraw from it all. What broke my heart was that he looked so sad at the thought of leaving because it meant he wouldn't get to see Jooeon anymore...
I'm sobbing...｡°(°¯◠¯°)°｡He's just too precious...
(He f*cking doesn't deserve our Pilsang !! Not yet !)
Also, it seems Jooeon didn't go back to the project because of the scandal, it was because of an equipment issue. My guess is that the media had the scandal story ready to go during the following week, but they probably contacted the family before publishing it (like they often do with celebrities and other high-profile figures). Then either Jooeon's family or Seo Ah's side must have negotiated a deal to keep the story under wraps in exchange for an exclusive announcement, aka the wedding.
That said, I'm so MAD at Jooeon for ghosting Pilsang for an entire week. He knows perfectly well how much Pilsang loves him, yet he keeps acting like such a jerk !
The last time they saw each other, things ended on such a cold note, so going completely silent without contacting him the entire time only fuels Pilsang's insecurities and reinforces his belief that he's unlovable and that he did something wrong when he didn't !! It's honestly so cruel !
And then, just for Pilsang to find out about the wedding through the news ?!
Seeing him run through the rain just to get an explanation... I already know that's a bad omen for the next chapter. He's literally showing up soaking wet like a drenched kitten, only to find Seo Ah there and overhear her talking about the loan shark scandal and his involvement in Jooeon's research. Whatever happens next, I just know Pilsang is going to suffer and cry even more, and I am NOT ready for it T^T
As for the person responsible for the scandal leak, I’m wondering if it’s the friend or the hyung behind it. There wasn't any mention of Jooeon's "game" with Pilsang in the articles, which makes me wonder if it could somehow be the hyung instead. Then again, I don't really see what he'd gain from exposing everything this early on, so I'm still leaning toward the friend. Either way, I have a feeling Pilsang is going to assume his hyung is responsible, blame himself even more, and drown in guilt... when it's actually not his fault at all ╥﹏╥
Finally, not having Jooeon’s POV at all makes this cliffhanger about his feelings even more intense, since we’re left completely in the dark about what’s going on in his head !!
But I have a feeling we still won’t get his perspective in the next chapter either. Instead, things are probably going to get even messier, and he’ll put on that cold business persona again, say something harsh while confronting Pilsang, and end up hurting him even more... Help !!
I nearly shat my entire existence out reading this. Bruh I’m so not ready… ( · - · )
Me neither ! What I’m really dreading is Jooeon talking about the game with Seo Ah or saying something hurtful about Pilsang, and Pilsang ending up overhearing everything x'(
He'll be SO heartbroken if that ever happens T-T
He’ll be more than heartbroken. He’ll probably feel like every moment where Jooeon was kind and caring toward him was just part of the game, and that the only person who ever made him feel valued never truly meant any of it.
He’d become convinced that he was never truly deserving of love after all, and that all the effort he put into changing himself for the better was based on nothing but lies...
It would completely destroy him and his self-esteem
OMFG!! I knooow, that part right there!! I’ve thought abt this before too, a few chapters back I was excited at the thought of Jooeon confessing to Pilsang 1st but then I questioned the process of that happening after Pilsang finds out that game crap Jooeon was playing… even in the most unexpected moments where Jooeon’s honest feelings actually showed (like him telling Pilsang that even given w the circumstances he was raised in that he’s not a bad guy) Pilsang might not believe him even if he wants to
He keeps getting betrayed & I can not take it anYmoRRE!
couldn’t the scandal have been leaked by the guy who was assaulting the waiter at jooeon’s bday party? he got pilsang’s name and there was a scene later of him looking like he was plotting something
Yes it's him, that's Jooeon's friend.
Also, he literally said he'd leak the information to the press during the factory's opening, so it's most likely him. It's just that the headline only accused Jooeon of involving a loan shark in his research and there was nothing about his little game or any other details, which is weird.
Exactly !! That's what makes it so angsty ;-;
Even if Jooeon's feelings are 100% genuine by that point, I don't think Pilsang would believe a single word he says. From his perspective, every kind moment, every compliment, every act of care, and every confession could just be another part of the game. Once his trust is shattered, how is he supposed to know what's real and what's a lie anymore ?
I still want him to find out about the game, tho', just like I want Jooeon to find out about the fake heats. They both need to come clean so they can rebuild their relationship on a stronger foundation with no secrets between them !!
YOU F*CKING PSYCHO !!! HOW COULD YOU MAKE HIM CRY !!!
I KNEW IT ! Shin Jooeon was bound to mess things up by putting work before Pilsang ! Too bad for him, because Pilsang isn't going to sit around waiting for his slow ass to admit how he really feels !! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Also, not only did he cum inside him but he slept with his d*ck inside ?! Oh boy ! You're down BAD. How are you still lying to yourself at this point ?!!
I'm so heartbroken for my baby Pilsang... After the passionate sex they had the night before, Jooeon suddenly giving him the cold shoulder must've hurt so much. And since Jooeon had been so gentle and caring with him, Pilsang probably thought the distance was because of the kiss and his feelings, when in reality it's just Jooeon refusing to face his own emotions...Damn spoiled rich idiot (╬￣皿￣)
Now, I wonder if the emergency is the media scandal or if it's something else...Either way, Jooeon messed up BIG time .
Also, he was so desperate for Pilsang to finally confess his feelings, and now that Pilsang is actually being honest with him, Jooeon suddenly starts putting walls up between them ?? Like, be serious !!
How do you go from caring so much just a few hours ago to leaving him like that without even a simple "Take care" or "Don't get hurt again" ? Not a single nice word ?
Aaaaaargh I'm fuming, you arrogant j*rk !!
I literally fly to your comments every time _(´ཀ`」 ∠) lmao
Lmao that’s so sweet ╥﹏╥ I’m glad you enjoy reading them ♡
The tragedy of not having a Boss x Seolho sequel ...╥﹏╥
Crying (/TДT)/
I feel this on a spiritual level
Let’s cry together, we were robbed !
Seeing how Pilsang went from being a Top to actually yearning for Jooeon so much to the point of craving him and begging him for his d*ck is such a character arc !
His tsundere act is softening aaaww (≧∀≦)
Meanwhile, it's hilarious how Jooeon was so strict, kept standing his ground, and firmly refusing to give in to Pilsang's demands over and over again only for all that resolve to completely crumble after a single kiss LOL !! xD He's so hopelessly in love, I swear !
Now, my theory about what’s gonna happen next : While they’d be basking in the afterglow of their sexy session, they’ll finally start opening up a little about their feelings, but then they won’t get the chance to really talk things through, as they’ll be interrupted since Jooeon would get contacted by work and be told about the information leak (from his ex-friend) and the media scandal it caused.
And since he was supposed to be present at the opening of their project around this time, the scandal will already be making noise, and people will start asking where the chairman actually is ! Which would make things worse as he is with —and taking care of—the very same person the scandal is about, so it will only stir things up even more !!
Especially with his parents, I guess... They’ll start questioning whether he’s truly worthy of inheriting the company. And since they already expect him to marry Seo Ah for the sake of the merger, the idea that he might be involved with someone else would likely push them to rush the arranged marriage even more !
And all of this happening right when Jooeon and Pilsang were finally on the verge of being honest with each other would definitely disrupt the development of their relationship, and then maybe trigger the runaway arc ?!
Knowing how business-like and cold Jooeon can be, I feel like he might end up messing up things by prioritizing his position and putting the company above Pilsang... ╥﹏╥
Also, Pilsang would get to learn about Jooeon's little game that way ╥﹏╥
yeah and i think they're gonna rush the wedding because of the scandal. then pilsang finds out about his stupid little mind games and runs away, heartbroken and confused, wondering if all the gentleness and kindness he received were ever real or just an act.
They were definitely real... It’s just that Jooeon is way too prideful to let his real feelings show in a healthy way, so he ends up disguising them as control and games (╬￣皿￣) Obviously, it's the first time he's fallen in love, so he doesn’t know how to handle what he’s feeling too, and keep ruining everything...He's also emotionally immature...
I hope he regrets it bad when Pilsang runs away and when it’s too late to undo the damage !! ÈwÉ
Cause actually, in the korean version, he does use harsher wording sometimes when talking about Pilsang, in the recent chapter for example he calls Pilsang a nobody (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ ╥_╥
I HOPED FOR IT IN MY LAST COMMENT AND MY WISH CAME TRUE !!
THEY KISS THEY KISS !! THEY SO LOVE EACH OTHER !!!! ♡♡♡
I knew the smut was there for a reason ! After Pilsang got hurt, I'm sure Jooeon realized just how much Pilsang means to him, how dear and precious he is. And holding him like that would've only reinforced those feelings !! (≧∀≦)
I'm so hyped, I can't—... I've been giggling and kicking my feet in the air since !
Aaaaaww ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ !!
they already confessed?!
Nah sorry not yet, they did kiss tho
Not verbally yet, BUT THEIR ACTIONS SPEAK VOLUMES !!
They’ve already given themselves away—their feelings are completely obvious, just raw feelings spilling out in those kisses Aaaawww (ノ≧∇≦)ノ
NEED THE NEXT CHAPTER NOW AAAAAAAAH !!!!
seems like i can read this sooner than i expected
It’s been more than an hour since I finished the last chapter, and I’m still heartbroken....
My poor baby Pilsang...come to me sweetheart, I’ll take better care of you than that useless chairman ever could !!
What we feared and anticipated would happen has happened.
It’s so humiliating that even Seo Ah knew about Jooeon’s foolish game. And that pathetic chairman, once again acting all high and mighty, denying his feelings for Pilsang with that arrogant : “Why would I even fall in love with him ?” Well, yeah sure, WHY WOULD YOU ? BUT YOU ALREADY DID, YOU DUMBASS !!
Seeing Pilsang discover everything like this and break down is utterly heartbreaking. The way he cries feels like my heart is being torn apart. It’s unbearable...
When he ran away, even Seo Ah knew that Jooeon should have gone after him. But of course, Mr. Hypocrite, too-proud-to-be-honest-with-himself, would rather pretend he doesn’t care about Pilsang — just to prove that he meant it when he said he didn’t love him — insisting that business comes first, instead of chasing after him and trying to fix the damage he caused after literally breaking his heart ! What a load of bullcrap !! HE F*CKING DESERVED THAT PUNCH Pilsang gave him ! Heck, he deserves so much more than that !!
My poor Pilsang, being convinced now that actually no one could ever like him, and that it was too good to be true that someone believed in him in the first place ╥﹏╥
Watching Pilsang hit himself in despair is just... I can’t stand it. Nooo, baby, please don’t hurt yourself, I'm suffering with you (/TДT)/
You're too beautiful and gorgeous and sweet and a true gem for this fool to keep denying what he feels for you !!
Serves Jooeon right that Pilsang has left his miserable ass behind !!
As much as I’ll miss my Pilsang and this manhwa—the hiatus will be unbearable, I know—I hope Jooeon doesn’t find him for months, maybe even a year, I want him to sit with the consequences of how he treated Pilsang, to realize what he lost, and to truly regret his actions as deeply as he needs to !!
Now I have to endure the hiatus, trying not to crumble at the memory of my baby’s tears.. ╥﹏╥
WHAT HIATUS
Today's chapter was the last, Season 1 has ended ! And now we’re going into hiatus ╥﹏╥(/TДT)/
