8garak will be working on another sports themed romance soon! 'zero:love,' a fairly well-liked novel by lee boonhong. if you like virgins, one-and-only romantic leads, and straightforward guys, come on in (hunter is a lovable brat haha). it's set to release on july 3rd
he's been collecting evidence and based on said research, he thinks jun has aspd. the (untranslated) burnt newspaper reads: "...those with aspd are insensitive to the suffering of others and exhibit..." "...special situations where they cannot easily sever relationships..." "have a compulsive tendency to thoroughly control others, insisting..." "that no one attempt to take away their rights..."
it looks like jy was using himself as the scapegoat to protect the whole group from being targeted by jun. he's also ready to fight back if 'something like that ever happens again, then...' btw, jy's doctor's note confirm he got photosensitivity syndrome, ptsd, and alexithymia following his consumption of h-100... we gotta kill jun
This is gonna kill me first. I’m heartbroken
This makes super duper sense!!! He is absolutely gathering evidence as a way of defense. That bitch will rot in hell
(︶︿︶)＝凸
still wondering what the toothbrushes are as evidence... i originally thought they were emotional support lol
adding onto the newspaper cuttings, the dream boy incident seems to be that drug party scandal since 'an idol group is suspected of involvement' and their agency stocks started tanking. 'some of the drugs seized at the scene were found to be unidentified new synthetic drugs with molecular structures completely different from previously known methamphetamine or ketamine.' 'it appears to be a high-purity new substance that has never been officially distributed domestically' & 'new drugs from overseas cartels are enjoyed only among a small, privileged class'... nalhun sure loves to drop hints that are easy to miss omg.
I assume DNA
ch24 shows that they’re toothbrushes belonging to everyone BUT jun so maybe it’s dna to prove none of the members but himself has h100 in his system? the note in ch25 said it wasn’t enough evidence to use though so it looks more like back-up protection for everyone else awwww
Heads up, the novel is r19 but the webtoon will be r15~
dang what a let down (￣ε(#￣)Σ
oh hell no I'm walking out
Where i can read the novel, english translation??
for those curious, it’s set in the same universe as the writer’s other work, ‘the cruelty of salvation’. there are quite a few TW for ‘the cruelty of atonement’ (r*pe victim becomes lovers, power struggle, blackmail) since it’s enemies to lovers so if that turns you away, I’d at least recommend ‘the cruelty of salvation’ for something ‘lighter’! the characters are overall more generally appealing there.
the art here is gorgeous so far though lol
um, you mean the ml rapes the fl??? (⊙…⊙ )
the typical dubious consent at the start, i guess? so yeah it could be triggering for some people but i think if you can handle that and read with an open mind, the novel is very well-written and the ending is satisfying. at least consider giving it some time because it's all to form the foundations of the story
Oh dear o.o well, i can let it marinate and read it in one go when it’s over, maybe that might be better (〜￣△￣)〜 thank you so much for the heads up! <3
ooof yeah, for the better. but i think you'll like 'cruelty of salvation' if anything! if you can get your hands on the novel, even better. i binged and cried LOL. you'll love olivia and noah <3 https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/the_cruelty_of_salvation_magusmanga/
Checking it out ヾ(☆▽☆) <3 Ty~
read the novel a long time ago so things might be foggy. to those asking if he cheats… (spoilers)
i believe he didn’t consider it cheating ‘cause he never /sleeps/ with the groupies while dating june iirc? he doesn’t hide having a gf but does still hang out to smoke etc with them late night at the club and accepts all their gifts, leading them on with their delusions. he also has a mommy complex and relies on someone else emotionally, which hurts june. like, you can 100% feel it’s how he was raised that affects his actions. so yes, he was emotionally cheating without realizing it until he was taught so. dating him is not for the faint of heart that need assurance without communicating it. they do have a falling out and some grovelling while she moved back to KR. i never felt he was truly a bad person and overall, i enjoyed it. it’s quite deep in band culture so hopefully the adaptation turns out well. btw, i love his bandmates/friends since they’re always siding with june LOL
glad I read your comment I was this close to dropping it, but your spoiler helped a lot. I think I’ll keep reading, kinda curious now especially with the band setting
he’ll still be frustrating if that sorta thing bothers you (lots of couple problems over diff values) but for me it was at the same level as bjorn in problematic prince: some ppl hate him no matter what while others can pick out his complexities.
(spoilers) life unfortunately does get harder for our girl june so expect mutual (?) co-dependency but you can trust his feelings for her are real. she also has a backbone and will choose what’s best for herself even if she loves him, eventually. the band setting stays throughout along with what comes with fame…
Tks u. I'm interested to read the novel. Do u remember where do u read it? Btw his character gives me vibes similar to Takumi and Jōji (Ai Yazawa).
i read it on yonder which closed down last year but wattpad has officially brought back most of their series by now! the title is “Your Blue Eyes” and it’s under SERIESbyWEBTOON. eden is generally more ‘nicer’ than takumi but i do get the fboy vibes, ‘specially with how the webtoon portrays him haha. and then when things go down... phewww
direct linking since it’s kinda hard to navigate… https://www.wattpad.com/story/386797845
i wonder if he has wounds or scars on his thighs and wears it to cover them? ‘cause in his nightmares, his dad gives him cigarette burns and in ch 1 he even burns under his feet iirc… same with iw and his left shoulder. what wounds are he hiding.
btw i didnt expect bh to have hickies down there too. i thought gyeom would be more DL and repulse over a d— near his face lmaoooo. i guess his feelings (read: obsession) is stronger than expected
See you all in April/May for Season 2~
Fun facts from the Q&A: (spoilers?)
- SM was originally blonde. But since both characters were stubborn in wanting black hair, the difference is in the texture
- Story is set in 2023
- SM wears glasses as a fashion statement. He likes the way it softens his image
- JY doesn't always look like a rabbit, but he does when he looks up at something
- The author is one person and not a team
- SM's mbti is ESTJ, JY is ISFJ
- Hyeseong is currently a broadcast jockey under the name Comet Nyang while Yooseong is a pro FPS player for his hometown in Jeju
- Three parts are planned so far with part 2 being their activity period (dopamine). If S1 is serotonin and S2 is dopamine, maybe S3 will be… oxytocin? /joking
- More info including the production process, SM & JY fits, Dream Boy member positions, and a peek at SM's phone gallery in the season 1 review~

dw oxytocin is a joke haha. part 3 is actually left as "?" for now. hopefully they can stick with their vision on how they want the story to pan out ^^

the s2 resumption pretty much confirms a new artist has taken over based on the announcement page on kkp, at least before they edited it away to avoid backlash lol???
