on the one hand, knowing you’ve been getting cheated on must be ass, but why is mf a manipulative dipshit. if he wasn’t so ass their relationship could’ve been healthy and the “cheating” never would’ve happened. sucks to be him ig
in chapter 5, “coming from the same guy who’s been screwing around with every girl in town” Jang Baekhee said to Gyeom. Unless i’m interpreting it wrong but either way what they have together is in NO means a relationship at all, it’s control and domination. Gyeom doesn’t feel for Baekhee, he sees him as a “pet” and something he has ownership over in a way. (comparing him to a dog, ordering him around) ect
by the way, in no means am i sending this in a rude tone, hope it doesn’t come off that way!
oh, yeah that can be interpreted many ways. i agree with what you’re saying. with relationship i wasn’t implying anything. any kind of connection someone has with someone else is considered a relationship. i’m not calling them boyfriends, they just got a dynamic going, where one party expects exclusivity. but a dynamic where one person is the manipulator, holding the reigns to keep their “partner” from leaving, and the other is a traumatized person, trying to use this person to get away from their abuser, is still a relationship. sometimes, not everything must be nit picked and disagreed with. no offense, but it was obvious what i meant, no need to discuss the semantics of a word i used.
one thing i hate about this is that the mc is often a damsel in distress and that he has to save her so many times (even help her do her goddamn job… like bruh). idk why it’s so hard for authors to write a female mc that for once doesn’t need constant help from the male love interest. the saving grace to this story is that he looks like He Tian my man
the tree one was the one that got me. she’s a professional at her job and a guy that has no idea helps her do the job she’s done for years?? it makes no sense and felt like a weird situation to make him aura farm. even if she ends in dangerous situations, i wish that at least her personality was more steady and her attitude a bit sharper. i’m just tired that still decades later female mc’s still get written off as this helpless persona. studies literally prove that women are often more emotionally intelligent and got their shit together, so why do they always get stupidfied in media?? bruh
after re-reading this and paying attention to every detail, i have to say the author is pretty good at writing a story. there’s a lot of foreshadowing and hints in the story about min hoyeon’s character (his true nature and also the family situation). i just hope that that same attention to detail and depth will be applied to the relationship between the jaesung and him.








when he got splashed w water he was squinting so cutely almost had me let my guard down
