Praying that the whole conversation was recorded and Yang Il Woo hears everything, it's going to be horrible, I know, but it's the only way Yang Il Woo will finally know the truth and come back to Bekhee

I hope the way the phone is highlighted means Yang Ilwoo heard the whole conversation—Baekhee's confession and the reason why he's stuck with that piece of trash aaaaah but it would be extremely painful to know that Yang Il-woo heard Bek-hee being raped

It would make perfect sense, given how Yang Ilwoo's final internal monologue at the end of the first season wrapped up.

I knew the second season was going to be painful, but I can't stand seeing Bekhee abused like that.

Manipulation is a form of dominance and control; Gyeom exploits Bekhee’s trauma and vulnerability to place himself on a pedestal as the savior—casting himself as the "victim" of the deception—while completely minimizing Bekhee’s pain. He always finds a way to twist the situation so that his so-called sacrifice (which actually comes at the expense of others) carries more weight. That is the portrait of a narcissist: someone who uses control to satisfy his own needs and demands unconditional love without offering anything in return.

I hate gyeom so much ugh

I love a well-defined epicanthic fold, and Yaeji has them—I’d call them "fox-like" eyes. Yaeji’s greatest charm is his personality; sure, he’s handsome, but the manhwa doesn’t treat him like some unattainable Adonis far removed from mere mortals, haha. His appeal lies in his mannerisms, his physicality, and his responsiveness.

Regarding character designs in BL manhwa, most "tops" tend to have a Western look—elongated features, puppy-dog eyes, and very fair skin—fitting the stereotypical ideal of what Koreans consider the ultimate look; however, I’ve noticed that when the design leans toward that of an average Korean—meaning a slightly darker complexion, more elongated, almond-shaped eyes, and a distinctly Asian hairstyle—they are perceived as less attractive

Like, there are people saying Jaeyi is ugly lol.

Actually, what I like most about his design is that he looks pretty ordinary—like someone you’d run into in real life. Some people might find him average, but personally, I think that’s exactly what makes him so charming.

BL manhwas have gotten people so used to the typical "puppy-dog" top or the sexy, bad-boy blonde mafia type that a top who doesn't fit either of those stereotypes seems unappealing to them, ugh.

If Yaeji acts like that when they're supposedly just friends with benefits, I can't imagine what he'll be like when he realizes he likes Ideum haha

I absolutely love the dynamic in this manhwa. Yaeji is always finding ways to make physical contact with Ideum—respecting his personal space while simultaneously nudging him out of his comfort zone. He genuinely cares about him and doesn't just view him as a piece of meat to screw. I found it so sweet that, even though Yaeji is sexually experienced, he’s also sharing "firsts" with Ideum. Kyaaa, they’re so cute!

We’re so used to shitty "tops"—guys with terrible personalities who are selfish, narcissistic, arrogant, and abusive toward "bottoms"—that I can’t help but get emotional over the truly humane way Jaeyi treats Ideum. They’re supposed to be just bed partners bound only by sex, yet they act like friends and a couple at the same time.

I suppose Jaeyi is comfortable with this dynamic because he hates labels, and with Ideum, he doesn't have to conform to any. He claims he only feels pity, but a person doesn't act the way he does out of mere sympathy—especially since such feelings rarely come with genuine actions. Ideum doesn't ask anything of him, yet Jaeyi acts of his own volition without expecting anything in return.

I mean, obviously sex is a driving factor, but their relationship isn't limited to just that. Jaeyi wants to be with Ideum; he seeks him out, messages him, and genuinely wants to know how he’s doing. If Ideum doesn't reply, Jaeyi goes looking for him; he comforts Ideum, listens without interrupting, and encourages him to overcome his insecurities. Even during sex, he doesn't just seek his own pleasure, but a mutual experience filled with intimate affection.

What a chapter! I absolutely love the direction the manhwa is taking. Instead of turning a moment like this into something melodramatic filled with misunderstandings, the characters choose to talk and open up about their vulnerabilities to one another. It’s so heartwarming to see their dynamic progress in such a friendly, close way.

On the other hand, it makes me laugh how Jaeyi tries to convince himself he’s acting this way out of pity, when it’s obvious he’s attracted to Ideum—and not just sexually. The eroticism he feels with Ideum stems more from the experiences and emotions that come with connecting to someone he feels so comfortable around aaaah I love them so much

Yaeji spends more time at Ideum's place than at his own, haha. How could you not like someone who makes you feel so comfortable and with whom you have such a strong connection? He just needs to realize he's head over heels for him
