It would have killed me if Chapter 7 had ended with them separating; it's a good thing they reunited in the end

Waaa, mutual consent is so hot fuuuuuuu so so hot

Wow, I was absolutely blown away by the author's notes; they truly grasp the complexity of human relationships, which is evident in how they portrayed their vision of love in the story. We often think love is the fundamental basis of any relationship, but it goes beyond that. As the author noted, it is a series of stumbles and successes—a process where you often make yourself vulnerable, and the other person’s contrasting nature complements your own. It acts as a catalyst for personal growth, expanding your worldview as you move forward together.

I really admire the author for adopting such a clear and open narrative regarding how the characters identify sexually. I mean, in most confessions, you always get that line—"I'm not gay, but I only like you"—and that kind of storytelling doesn't satisfy me; it makes me feel like one of the characters is denying a part of themselves, as if fully embracing being gay is somehow out of the question for them. So, it felt so refreshing to have Yang Il-woo answer Baek-hee's question with such sincerity and a resounding "yes."

I love stories that take the time to build chemistry and let the characters get to know each other a bit better before jumping straight to sex. It looks decent and the art style looks pretty nice !!

This story is told in such an emotional and realistic way that, even with only six chapters published, you can already feel the chemistry and empathize deeply with the characters.

I completely understand Yuuji; he is a young man who yearns to be loved but struggles to express it properly—despite loving Kirato so much—because he feels inadequate. He suffered emotional neglect from his parents growing up; even though his mother is physically present, he feels abandoned and unwanted by her. Consequently, Yuuji cannot help but project these insecurities onto Kirato, fearing he is depriving him of a conventional romance—the kind of "normalcy" every young person should experience. Yet, he knows he couldn't be more wrong; he recognizes that this line of thinking is irrational, which is why he seeks to find himself. Despite this, he wants to continue life's journey alongside Kirato, because that is the essence of a relationship: understanding the other person and being there when everything seems to be falling apart, rather than being selfish and only showing up when things are going well. Kirato is an empathetic, loving, and affectionate person with an enviable level of emotional maturity; that is why he and Yuuji complement each other so well—they fill the gaps in one another and help meet each other's emotional needs.

Completely unrelated, but I was analyzing the title of this story—"Between the Lines"—and I started thinking about how, nowadays, we seem to require a message to be explicitly spelled out in order to grasp it. Whether it’s a movie, a TV series, or a book, it feels as though if the message isn't practically shoved in our faces, we simply don't get it. That complacent mindset terrifies me—the kind where you don't even bother to engage your critical thinking skills to arrive at a conclusion. And the same applies to this story, where so much is conveyed implicitly—where the characters, emotionally speaking, struggle to verbalize their feelings.

I don't understand the comments claiming that this is illogical or that the dynamic between the two characters feels out of character. We understand that human relationships don't follow a linear path; often, things aren't simply black and white, but rather shades of gray. What exactly were you expecting? That after four years—accumulating all that frustration, dealing with an unstable family situation, living a life under constant control, having no one around to trust, suffering from abysmal verbal communication, and enduring an awkward, unresolved farewell—they would suddenly have calm, tender sex? And yet, you can still feel that uncontrolled frenzy—a sensation where, even if Juheom tries to deny it, he cannot help but waver in the face of his own stubbornness. The characters are acting in accordance with the circumstances of their specific context; therefore, within the narrative of the story, I feel the author did an excellent job of portraying that pent-up frustration.

I wouldn't call this hate sex—but rather a desperate kind; so deeply yearned-for and overwhelming that every thrust feels insufficient, that you have to leave an impact on your body—where pain turns into pleasure, and pleasure into punishment.

At this point, we can see that Juheon has always been afraid to reveal his true self—even in the past, when he believed he could finally let loose with Dohu, he remained quite guarded. Much like Dohu, he didn't grasp social dynamics in the conventional sense; he lived without ever questioning his own feelings because he allowed himself to be lulled by his comfort zone—after all, as we know, it’s often easier to simply let a person go than to try to truly understand them. It wasn't until this breaking point that we witnessed how all that pent-up frustration, desperation, and longing finally erupted in the form of rough, uninhibited sex. There is undeniably intense chemistry between the two of them, yet there is so much in their relationship that still needs to be addressed and healed that I don't believe now is the time for them to part ways. More than ever—precisely in this state of palpable vulnerability—they need to talk.
