Someone tell me if I’m missing anything key.
The key misunderstandings at play: mc lies to everyone that he is married, and the ml/mc mutually lied about being experienced in BDSM. The ml leans into the latter (and trying against his clear inclinations to otherwise be low maintenance because of his familial trauma from his parents’ acrimonious separation) to try and hold on to a relationship with the mc even while he (thinks) that MC just sees him as an affair. Meanwhile, MC has already fallen for him and doesn’t realize why he’s rebuffing his attempts to get closer (he thinks you’re married/dating other people and he’ll burden you, dipshit!).
Anyway they’re adorable, mutually in love, have discovered latent sadomasochistic tendencies in themselves by accident, and are both idiots.
guys… this comment section has been out of whack for weeks. Just because Wonwoo is the top doesn’t make him a spy, a mercenary with this kinda training, a competent fighter like the MC. The MC just beat him up strung out on drugs! I think the author is intentionally showing him struggling through finding and helping him. I don’t think most of these comments would be here if Wonwoo were the bottom but the story was otherwise unchanged.
Two semi-connected thoughts:
- I like the non-romance plot we’re building here about the MC’s rigid, born from necessity responsibility.
- I think there’s something interesting being set up potentially about the MC being outwardly repressed and internally a bit of a freak (I keep remembering that scene with his computer) while the ML is this breezy slut but clearly has something going on internally and has like imprinted on the MC.
I think MC is more so he ended up not following the path his family wanted so he is trying with everything in him to prove that he’s still a good son and he can get somewhere with his choice. I think it’s funny how ML thinks of him as the complete opposite though, like he just has it easy when to us it’s clear MC does not. Definitely repressed. And yeah it connects with the being a dutiful and diligent son because him liking men would of course be a huge problem image wise for his family. And I think he’s only coming out because he’s experiencing stuff now










I can't get over how the dom is overall such a sap green flag despite being a sadist and just has a hair trigger on insane eyes and evil facial expressions. I love him.
