Exactly. It’s not that deep that your favorite yaoi gets put on an extended hiatus. People literally don’t understand that the author might be grieving someone close or they could be serious harassed/assaulted and are taking their time to process.
YOU GUYS CAN JUST READ THE AO3 ONE OR FIND ANOTHER MANHWA TO READ. NOT HARD.

Grammar mistake— *they could’ve been seriously

I understand your concern and I'm on your guys side, but assuming that the author did an exte ded hiatus because they've lost someone or harassed/assaulted is quite disrespectful idk I just find it like that ╥﹏╥ but anyways I'm saying this in such a nice way twin please don't be mad at me (￣ε(#￣)Σ

It’s np lmao. I hesitated to post this reply because I felt that same thing but I did it anyways because people were making me mad. #－.－)

(〜￣△￣)〜 it's a flashback to when they were younger, so no. He is very much alive but this is probably the event that pushed Min-young to get Jeong-cheol's family out of his life. Aka a theory - Min-young decides he can't murder them, so he outs Jeong-cheol as gay. This way, his family would disown him and they can just start a life together without the family bothering. But ofc this has the worst effect and causes their breakup & years apart)
