I know that the situation is exhausting, but people seem to forget that, apart from Shuraka's age and inexperience and Tei's insecurities, there is also a major problem between them: their cultures.
More than miscommunication per se, it is a problem of cultural differences. In fact, at the beginning of chapter 19, we are told how honor "works" in Leracal and how Tei is particularly serious about it. In Arnata, it's different. Shuraka, as a Padisha, sees caring for his wife as his duty and doesn't realize how this is affecting Tei.
They should talk, yes, but the reality is that I think neither of them sees the need because each is looking at the situation through the lens of their own culture. That's why they don't see that there's a problem that needs to be solved.
I beg of you Seoin, don't push Yeongwoon away, take all of what you are feeling and use it to bring hell to that shit family of yours.
Yeah, they ruined both their lives.
And it all started with Seoin's "mother" wanting to play house and never giving a real fuck about his adoptive son.
Al three of them: that mother, the father and the brother were and are scumbag that deserves to pay for all the pain the caused (well, for the brother is too late cause he is already dead, but...).
In the novel MC doesn't paint to "fill that emptiness", he paints cause it is his language his form of expressing himself, the colors, the forms... are his words. That's why he is so good "reading" art, cause he understands that way of expression, that language.
And that's way he almost doesn't speak, cause he feels that he can't express well with words.
Let me tell you that we are going to DIE with the sex scenes. They are insanely good in the novel, so I can't wait to see them drawn by C.R. Jade
I'm reading it here:

It's in Vietnamese (I think) but I use Google web translation to read it in english. And I read it here cause, as far as I know, is the only site where it is complete and free.










The author said in Twitter that the next chapter will be the last chapter (aka the end of the story).
The last chapt?! No side stories I gotta see them happy and settled at the end though
Say sike right now
I don't know.
The author only said that it will be the last chapter of the main story.
I also hope that there'll be side stories.
