The mom is nuts. Konjac jelly has almost no nutrients. Those things usually have anywhere from 5-60 calories, depending on the additives used. If real fruit juice is used, its closer to the 60 calories, and if its made with no sugar and no juice, they’re closer to 5 calories. Depending on the brand, sometimes vitamin c, prebiotics, probiotics, or collagen will be added. But it has almost no nutritional content. Making a young child have that in lieu of two meals is nuts. Doing it occasionally is fine, or just having it as a snack. But if she’s forcing him to eat that way consistently, forget growing, little guy will just end up malnourished.
I feel like it would make way more sense for the boys to be in the maid’s quarters than the mom. Don’t get me wrong, mom’s annoyance about dad is justified. But it’d be better for everyone for the ml and mc to being in a slightly more private area. And they’d have their own little kitchenette and bathroom.
Tbf his room is on the 3rd floor, it's kinda private tbh. Also the maid house is like a guest room atp, they might not think it's that comfortable?
I honestly think it's good for the omega to be in the alpha's room tho for the scent and maybe even building a nest. The brother would be a trouble either way honestly
Since the dad explained it as having a separate entrance and its own small kitchen, i was imagining it more like an attached studio. Where Im from, those are called “in-law units,” or an “ADU,” and they’re completely separate, even if they’re technically attached to the main building. So I was imagining that. But that’s probably my own bias, and maybe in Japan they’re not private?
Her annoyance at the dad seemed justified. She didnt know anything about the situation. So to her, it looked like her teenage son bringing home a bf. Bf obviously seemed sick, so she’s worried, but both dad and son are lying to bf’s parents. In the setting, mc and ml are literally one of the first alpha and omega in the entire world. It hasn’t even been discovered or diagnosed yet. Plus this is set in Japan where queer relationships are still taboo. And then she realizes her son is gay, and that the bf is staying because he’s in “heat” and they’re gonna have nonstop sex for a week. That’s a lot to take in at one time. More than anything, it seems like she was just shocked by learning so many things at once. Mom doesn’t seem hardcore homophobic, which is a huge upgrade from a lot of BL parents. She just didn’t get time to process the information overload. And before she gets a chance to process, dad gives her a hardcore lecture that’s kinda condescending. He isn’t wrong, but he had time to process, and he didnt have to learn everything at once. So it’s not what he said, but how he said it to her.
So all at once she learns:
- my son is dating someone. Wait, the person my son is dating is a guy. He’s gay?
- his bf is sick? He seems really ill. We have to tell his parents. What do you mean you’re lying to his parents? Wait you lied to his parents before? And even though he’s sick, he’s not going to a hospital, but staying here?
- while he’s here we have to stay away and cant check on him even though he’s that sick? Wait, its because they’re in heat? People in heat? How does that make sense?
- so that means they’re having sex for a week? And I’m just providing meals and lying to his parents?
I wonder if the author forgot that Dobin’s mom can speak German? In the Berlin arc, she was able to speak fluently, and converse with the Berlin philharmonic people. And the backstory was that she lived in Berlin for a while, and the dad would often fly into Berlin to visit her. But in the Vienna arc, all of a sudden she can’t understand German, and needs Dobin to translate for her. Maybe the author didnt realize both Germany and Austria speak German? The accent might be different, but the language is the same.
That article is crazy. Framing him as flippant and evasive when mc is a child. And not just a child, he isn’t even old enough to start school yet. (Either that or he’s being home schooled off screen, but no school talk has been shown.) I know his character is reincarnated so mentally he’s not a child, but the reporter doesn’t know that. So by all appearances, they’re questioning a child.
Plus the journalist wants him to answer questions about a crime his adoptive relative committed. And a relative that, as far as we know, he still hasn’t even met. (As far as we’ve seen, he’s met the embezzler’s wife and son, who are the cousin and the abusive aunt. And he’s met his grandma, but no one else.)
I get that. But even if it is the plot of the rich family, it’s still crazy that the article was written and framed that way about a small child. I don’t remember exactly, plus his age is a little ambiguous because of the adoption, but I think he’s around 3/4/5 years old. Irl wouldn’t you just laugh if someone was seriously writing an article like that about a preschooler? Even if I’m a bit off with his age and he’s actually a kindergartner or a first grader, still makes the situation ridiculous. But you’re right, I can’t wait to see mama getting her revenge!
Weird part is that there was a grown adults who did something similar to a child. Some time back, a guy tried to frame a little boy wearing face paint at a football game as a r@cist partaking in blackface and wearing a native American headdress. They even cut off the other half of the face paint that was red to make it seem like it.
The crazy part is that the kid was actually Native American—not just Native American, but his grandpa was one of the chairperson of their tribe. His family sued.
So, people like this do unfortunately exist in reality.
Carron Phillips. He's the grown man who tried to destroy a 9 year old boy for clicks.
Yeah definitely. They probably also got a ton of marketing accounts to push it and fake comments to agree with the article. They probably also delete or shadow ban any comments that call out the article. That way, they can control how the situation is being seen in the media, and when it seems like everybody is agreeing with an opinion, there are some that get swayed into believing it too, no matter how insane it sounds.
(Happens a lot in real life haha… I’m so sad…)
So cute!
For anyone who wants to read the AU it’s here https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/die_love/
If you haven’t read either story yet, I suggest reading this second as a palate cleanser if you’re not good with sad stories. Otherwise the order doesn’t matter










Apparently the couple that cameos in ch 15 is from the artist’s other work, “Pry.” But I can’t find it. Anyone have a link?

I found the name Pry through manga updates already. I was trying to find a link to read the manhua. But thanks
The manhwa Pray! (often translated as Pry) is written and illustrated by the artist Changbaek. You can read the official English translation of this ongoing series on the Lezhin Comics Webtoon platform.
