Where are people getting the age gap from? The crazy age gap y'all are insinuating is 2-3 years. I'm sorry to tell you MC was probably at most 19 when they met and later got pregnant. The MC is a teen runaway and happened to get a job at the hotel after working several jobs before that. The ml is a rich heir and was being taught about the family business (hotel MC currently works at). He was still in high school. That's how they met. And remember this is set in Japan where a lot of people choose to start working as early as 16 especially people who run away from home. Some people forego going to university altogether. Where are y'alls comprehension skills??
Some people are assuming the top was 17 because it's established he was in high school when they first met, but if he's in university now (a year and a half later), he would've had to have been at least 18 based on Japanese high school ages. As for the bottom, man, no idea why they've decided he HAS to be 25~30 just because he has a job, like?? Working at a hotel doesn't necessitate a whole masters' degree??
Yh honestly js like the person I js answered to said: in Japan (and a LOT of other countries), it's pretty normal for anyone ranging from 16 y.o and more to work, especially runways.
Assuming he's older bcs the ml didn't tell him he was a HS student, he looks pretty young so maybe he's 20 y.o or 19y.o seeing how he was alr bothered by learning it was a HS student, but not concerning enough tos top dating him (ik he was also in love but he doesn't seem like he would've stayed if the age gap was too inappropriate)
I always see people call Jo the better option and I ask the simple question of how is he the better option for a man that wasn't all in with him? How is he the better choice when Ian yearned for TJ always and in the end choose TJ and not him? How are you a better option when the subject of your desires doesn't feel the same as you? This delusional take often seems sensible but it's exactly how in everyday life people pick the wrong partners. It's a clear overestimation of one's importance in another's life. The reality of this story is is that Ian was never going to choose Jo. It hurts but all roads led to Ian rejecting Jo. Jo was a wonderful experience but he was never going to be a lifelong choice. Ian chose TJ always for twenty years that wasn't going to change just because Jo wanted him. Jo's love for Ian was never a factor for Ian cz at the end of the day it was always what Ian wanted and not what Jo wanted. I don't know why people fail to understand that. This story wasn't about Ian running away cz if it was he would have run away long before Jo came into the picture but he never actually did cz he never even wanted to run from TJ. He hated tj's attachment to the gang not TJ the person.
This post was prompted by a video I saw about how Ian and Jo were robbed and the writer was like a different person. I think readers ought to take accountability and responsibility for their own biases that inform their understanding of these series. The series has no plot holes you just don't like the story as it actually is.
I'm gonna preface by saying I don't defend yahwi cz I know some of you will think I am by what I'm about to say. Cain and jooin were full of shit too. Cain was a pathological lair and didn't care about being honest until it was basically over. All of a sudden he wanted to be friends when he'd lied his way into jooins life. I remember when people used to defend his lies as necessary in protecting Jooin fast forward Jooin tells this man to his face after months together "I don't know you". Basically told Cain I can't love a man who hasn't been honest about who he is. Valid points on that one. Reminds me of the new Spiderman movie ifykyk.
Jooin too, don't get the started about that shitty fucker. People compare him to Ian from wetsand but they ain't the same cz Ian has the balls to admit he ain't shit. The creator of wetsand made it clear that Ian was the worst of the three and by the end of the story you understand why. Jooin pretends that he don't like yahwi for more than half of the series and only has reactions when yahwi is also feeling emotionally drained from how much the relationship is turning him psycho. That man liked seeing both of these men push themselves for him and only when Ryan and his mom told him his actions are hurtful does he start to think he ain't the victim he thinks he is. And the narrative actively centres him as a victim to nearly the end. Even when he implicitly admits wrong doing there is never accountability for his participation in bullshit. Jooin just says at the time he hadn't experienced all that and some how that made it all okay.
Some hypocrisy I've seen in this fandom for years is acting like Cain was a saint. Please call him a rapist too. Rape isn't just agressive shit it's also knowing full well someone is not emotionally or mentally capable of consent and using that as an opportunity to fuck them. His sex with jooin was disgusting and weird. Jooin is straight up crying over what just happened, THE SLAP, and all this bitch can think about is how he's finally had sex with him. That the sex had finally brought them closer. He admits that he knows what he is doing is wrong but he also says he won't apologise for it. Jooin was not in a proper emotional or mental state to consent to that. And as the story progresses we see why it never happened again cz jooin didn't want to have sex with Cain again after that. The whole situation was opportunistic ash and I'll never be convinced that it was romantic. In fact I believe that was the beginning of the end of their relationship. Even the Ferris wheel ride afterwards jooin rejected Cain's hand which spoke volumes about the fact that jooin didn't want this man romantically. Gonna give jooin his roses for rejecting Cain cz that was one of rawest scenes we got from this mid series. He finally had the balls to tell Cain he can't love him beyond friendship and stopped pretending anything Cain did would change his mind.









Bottoms like this make me want to die. Imagine believing a child would be better off without their bio dad simply because you think your own morality is superior. There is no ounce of humility in the bottoms thought process just being an insecure little shit. He'd rather marry someone he doesn't even want over someone he loves. He's pissing me off with his" But the top is a student ...his future". The way he's infantalizing the top just makes me mad. And the worst part is deep down he knows what he's doing is wrong and doing it anyway. He hid being pregnant which is some bullshit on its own and now he's even contemplating giving the tops child to another man over his own insecurities. Someone call CPS immediately. The sheer lack of boundaries is sickening. It's so easy to tell that other guy the child's father is present and y'all have something going on so the talks of engagement are forever over and not open for revisiting. My God I'm so mad. But what do we expect when mangaka and readers have made it their mission to forever make bottoms stupidity seem cute and endearing.
Seriously, like this guy even ran away from these families because he KNOWS how horribly they treat their children, how they use their children only as tools, and he still thinks, "Yeah, I should probably allow my child to be integrated into this family, that's better than being together with the man I love because he deserves to be free," like?? You'd rather doom your child to be abused, then?? This is such a stupid turn of events, I swear... sure, introduce the ex-fiance as an annoying obstacle, but don't have the bottom seriously consider it! Now I just kinda hate him -.-
my guy our uke is being heavy manipulated rn while in a vulnerable state (ToT). U may hav a strong sense of self but i dont think a person who was raised to not question being used as a tool has the same strong mind set and can curb the insecurities so easily.
I dont think he sees his moraliy as superior, infact i think he was raised to value doms as this higher being and himself as lesser. In his brain he just took the future of a promising dom that was kind to him but had the prospects of being 'successfull' in society/his family's brain washing's perspective and essencially traped him to be ridiculed for having a oops baby with a
[Srry accidenly his post] with a sub who 'seduced' him into it. Yes i think he does feel deep down that its wrong to consider it WHICH IS WHY he didn't say yes and is weighing the shit he was brainwashed into as young and top's feelings/fatherhood/ his love. But EVERY time he's almost gotten to the point of " ya know maybe talking with top could help" the fiance weighs in and manipulates the situation as money= better childhood. And yes he knows his family is bad but they are bad to HIM the SUB not children as a whole, probs thinks while akane is young and obvi exhibits traits of a higher linage AND still has the possibility of being a top would be cherished.
So wat he's weighing isnt fiance i dont like or love, its "be used, ostrisised and ridiculed again but akane would have a rlly good childhood for ATLEAST until they find out his dynamic OR be with the person you like but risk both top and akane being ridiculed and ostrisised BECAUSE of him" (not saying its the reality but what uke thinks is the reality while being talked to by a snake) so i think its unfair to call him stupid but he is nieve, largley due to how he's raised and his already meek temperment
