Yeomin is one of the most likeable protagonists I’ve seen in a BL in a long time. Given the tropes of this story, the author totally could’ve made Yeomin a flat and uninteresting sunshine character, but he’s not that at all. He’s an absolute sweetheart, but he knows when to put up boundaries. He doesn’t let that brat he tutors mess with him and he refuses to let Mr. Yeon meddle with his debt, for example. He’s not completely helpless, and even though there are times when he’s crying and Mr. Yeon has to pick him up or help him, those situations are completely reasonable. Like if I got kicked out of my apartment, had all my things thrown out in the rain, and got beaten up, I would be crying too. Even when he basically loses everything, he still thinks about his plans of what to do next. His strong drive to survive makes you want to see him succeed. You can also tell he’s very intelligent, not only in school, but he’s very socially aware of his circumstances. He doesn’t stick too close to people at school because he knows it might be dangerous for them and because he knows they judge him for his circumstances—he also doesn’t have any time. He’s aware that his landlord treats him like garbage, but he stays there because he can’t afford anywhere else. A poor writer, in comparison, would probably make their sunshine character completely unaware of the mistreatment they receive from others to preserve the sunshine quality of the character. Yeomin doesn’t need that since his bright personality still shines despite his poor circumstances. The only times where he’s not very rational is when he’s with Mr. Yeon but that’s only because he loves him so much. His love for Mr. Yeon is reasonable too because Mr. Yeon has been the only person that he’s been able to rely on in dire circumstances. That hyung Yeomin is friends with is a close second, but he isn’t able to fully support Yeomin the way he so desperately needs. Mr. Yeon is not a perfect person by any means, but in his defence, he cares about Yeomin’s health, safety, financial security, and shows him physical affection outside of sex, so I understand why Yeomin is so attached to him. I would say most of Yeomin’s flaws come from his reluctance to accept help and his inability to understand his and Mr. Yeon’s relationship (which I will say is not Yeomin’s fault since Mr. Yeon makes that hard for him). He doesn’t think he matters that much to Mr. Yeon, which is why he prioritized working (when he still had debt) over spending time with him and is now prioritizing school. It can be frustrating to watch him act this way, but you can still blame this on Mr. Yeon’s inability to use his words properly—an “I care about you and want to see you often” would work wonders on Yeomin compared to “Don’t crawl out of the house without permission.”

Basically, Yeomin is a very well written and likeable character in my opinion—he is kind without being stupidly altruistic, he’s driven to a point where you really want to root for his success, and he’s intelligent.
If you hate him, I think you should die.

I’m hearing Kai isn’t the uke. War is over.

Haebeom my wasian king

I hope they watch dead man switch lmao

I owe my life to the person that recommended this. Thank you always.

I still hate the younger brother no matter what. I’m glad Jooin and Yegyum got their happy ending, but that guy never deserved one. Yegyum crying with Jooin after having sex just shows how traumatic the sexual assault was. Even if Yegyum “initiated” it after, it was still rape, and I hate seeing the brother do well despite everything. I wish there were more repercussions for his crimes or at the very least I wish he never sexually assaulted Yegyum in the first place. But even taking away the sexual assault, he was still an abuser, so I don’t think I would ever be okay with his character either way.
For now, I’m just making do with pretending he doesn’t exist in the side stories. I hope there aren’t more side stories that focus on him (please do not prove me wrong, I’m actually begging.)

Seongah you are so adorable that I just want to put you in my pocket and keep you safe forever.

Lily, I love you so much. You are the cutest, sweetest, most adorable cat in the world. I will willingly skim through 10000000 chapters of Norman getting railed within an inch of his life just to catch a peek of your face. If Lily has 100 fans, I am one of them. If Lily has one fan, it is me. If Lily has no fans, I am dead. I love you so much, Lily; you are the bestest cat in the entire world.

The last line “Aku mohon tolong aku, Jake” can be translated to “Please help me, Jake” basically
In the kr version its “도와줘 제이크” which can be translated to “Help me, Jake” too if anyone was wondering

The chapter after this is really going to make you think Hohyun is a goner, so beware. But he’s fine. They don’t restart again.
