I forgot the title, but it's about a troublemaker MC whose family gives him a butler (i think) to manage him, and the MC doesn't like this. That's what I remember, but the MC just doesn't like the butler for whatever reason and just acts out against him

During one event in the manga, MC (yankee/troublemaker) is annoyed with his butler and gives him like an aphrodisiac, but the butler ends up giving it to him. The ending panel is just the butler reacting to the aphrodisiac in private after he "deals" with the MC.

Another event (i might be remixing this with another manga) is the butler giving the MC a piercing after catching him trying to give himself another one.

The butler has black hair and glasses/a monocle (SOOO helpful ik...) and slick back hair? I recall it kind of looked like Zack Fair's hair.

If you find it I give you back scratches.

I went digging for gold and found diamonds thankfully I found this when the main story ended.

If Dane finds out about Grayson and that dog story, and what happens? It doesn't sit right with me if they just gloss over that lowkey

I think it was a great read with how the plot was built - but the ending was definitely meh I'll agree with that. If it was longer it would've been great. Spoilers ahead.

Now let's talk about Minjun and Jinhwan and how people are saying Minjun's a red flag - I'd disagree.

So from what we know about our MC Minjun, he's a people-pleaser, and during his 20s he has very little confidence and has never been in a relationship. When he meets Jinhwan, he's constantly trying to go at his flow BUT he doesn't even know what it is. Jinhwan's wants are indecipherable to him, and he doesn't even know if he wants a relationship as well. Imagine being led by the nose during the entirety of a situationship then hearing THAT phone call? Minjun isn't confrontational, and we KNOW this, so he just leaves. Mind you if this all happened to me I'd fucking leave too tf

Jinhwan, our ML, is also part of the issue just as much as Minjun is. He tiptoes around the relationship they have, and we literally know he knows that Minjun also likes him. The problem with him is that just like Minjun, Jinhwan doesn't know if Minjun wants a relationship with him as well. He misinterprets Minjun's awkwardness when trying to feel him out or please him as awkwardness towards him and a relationship. So he also adapts a people-pleaser personality in a way by not mentioning a relationship at all.

Jinhwan had literally both the confirmation of Minjun's feelings and the upper-hand in the relationship where he knows they both feel the same way. He doesn't say anything - just like how Minjun didn't say anything about the phone call. There's no if or what ifs, the phone call was the last straw for both of them in a way.

The title itself 'a pushover's romance' refers to the both of them. They're both pushovers for each other.

At the end of the day the relationship they had in their 20s was built on assumptions and ended with assumptions. When they meet again, they both still hold their people-pleasing attributes whether they know about it or not. The only difference is that they've both changed and harbor resentment, but the resentment is exactly why their relationship works out this time. They let their real feelings out and actually get angry at each other. If Minjun had gotten angry like he did now, he would have actually confronted Jinhwan about the phone call - but he didn't have that resentment nor lingering attachments in his 20s. If Jinhwan was as direct in his 20s as he was in his 30s, we probably would have seen him actually address the issue of dancing around the subject of a relationship.

Literally the people they've become in their 30s were the answer to their relationship problems in their 20s. That's why their relationship works out this time. While the ending was ass, we witness Minjun see what Jinhwan actually wants after the entirety of the story not knowing what he wanted. They both become pushovers again, but this time for the right reasons to make a relationship work.

That's why it's 5/5 for me with like one star having a faulty lightbulb for how ass the ending was in general.

Lelu asked a question

It's about two guys who have the same name/surname and are supposed to be heirs to bakery/confectionary shops. The MC is super ass at baking while the ML is really good at it, but one day the ML decides not to inherit his family business.

There was like a whole explanation of the MC and ML's matching surnames being because of some ancestors splitting up the business a long time ago.

If you help me find it you get a legendary cookie

Don't read until the second season comes out, fair warning bc there's just a cliffhanger that for some reason couldn't be resolved in the first season? Like it feels like next-chapter cliffhanger not a 'this needs a second season' type of cliffhanger, it's like a hiatus cliffhanger lmfao.

Because this was a short there's a couple of time skips, and the description really only describes like the first third of the story and that's it. It's great in everything else but after reading like ten other stories that follow a similar storyline, or similar it just feels like a remix of all of them.

Nothing really happens for like 20-ish chapters plot-wise either.
