my only gripe with this story is the fact that it feels it's trying to sell *us* the idea that Ilay's behaviour is okay because of who he is as a person in the story as if he's some sort of toddler who's learning empathy. i've got no issues with stories that involve sociopathic or psychopathic behaviour, but the way scenes are portrayed (whether the lighting, the expressions, etc) makes it feel like they're trying to excuse Ilay's actions.
!!!!!!Little spoiler!!!!!!!!
you'll disappointed even more if you know what happen after they met again. I am so mad bcs ilay and taeui feels like they're not in the same mind. I wish ilay had at least apologize but he just smile like a child who got his first toy! I mean I don't hate it, I love to see them together but not due to that.
can we please have one story where both the main characters are evil AND consensual?
okay here's an example of evil and consensual:
"I fucking hate you but you're really attractive so i've got lustful feelings. I don't see you as a person, I see you as a sextoy"
"yeah i don't hate you but i really struggle with treating people with empathy. that's because im apathetic. when i have sex with you it'll be because we both want it but i'm also still going to be rude and manipulate you all the time in and out of bed. we'll have sex on mutual terms, i just won't be a good person to you











in case anyone's curious or confused in chapter 83 page 28 in the thought bubble "so happy over something this minute", "minute" (pronounced my-newt or / maɪˈnjuːt / ) means small or unimportant.
check the british version of the definition from this dictionary if you do not believe me: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/minute
