That's new (=・ω・=) Also one of the few cases where the top is guide.
(Guiding Hazard and Sketch AU are the only other ones I could think of. Oh and maybe also boss baby AU. Everything else has the esper to top.)
I can't wait to see more of your suffering in TL3 (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ RARRRRRRR Burn mf BURN!!
Is that why they were so aroused for so long & omega's scent changed afterwards?
Got no interest at all in seeing a full panel of his face (눈‸눈) staring at the dead leila no less. What a pollution
He told you you're the only man he's ever slept with that's borderline telling you he's only ever bottomed for you. And only bottoms get pregnant. And you still don't know who's Pete's dad??? U srsly think there could be a female alpha topping our Josh at some point??
Classic plot of a warm sweet green flag ML healing & winning the heart of chronically emotionally abused beautiful uke. If you're into this type of plot, you'll like it.
If you come for the smut, they're brief & sloppy & censored & kinda disappointing.
How could you *not* recognize your own beloved just by his stature and movements?! Huh??!!! (╯°Д °)╯
Excuse me? Are we at the classic "buying a flower for your mistress, and some roses for your wife" trope?? Oldman Zheng you better get your affairs straight ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Just saying (￣Д ￣) that uncle's bod is so embarrassing
Seriously?? (￣∇￣") When did our sweet boy Danny ever hurt jk?? Huh??
Haven't started yet but I passionately hate Grayson from Kiss Me If You Can and Kiss me Liar. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
I know spoilers say he's endgame, but something about him just rubs me the wrong way (╬￣皿￣)凸 like not respecting MC's will etc.. Hating man child so much
Mostly to balance things out a little bit, tl;dr:
MC's bottom line is the chairman position. He tolerated the secretary because he never touched the bottom line. He pushed away ML because ML has basically been dancing on his bottom line this whole time.
He most probably also have an avoidant attachment style; emotional intimacy scares him. We readers see ML's pov, but he doesn't. With shit communication, he naturally prioritizes ML's threat to his bottom line over acknowledging his feelings. The latter is too risky & scary for him.
Is he a jerk? Yes ofc, as are most people with avoidant attachment style. It's just the fact that he's a jerk doesn't invalidate the clear logic behind his actions.
----------
He tolerated the alpha subordinate & strings him along because that secretary has never been a threat (not enough family status, combat power, or business competence), and his feelings towards MC guarantees his loyalty (& guaranteed over-performance above pay grade)----miscalculation in hindsight ofc with the rape and all, but in a way the rape was also how his manipulation backfired. MC gave him a serious beating afterwards, owned his mistake (to string him along and take advantage of his feelings), cut him off, and further use him as a pawn/negotiating chip for business down the line; I'd call that a pretty decent & clean resolution.
ML, on the other hand, is a serious contender for _the_ position that MC has been vying for his entire adult life; ML even publicly declared his intention to get that position no matter what. Without proper communication, in MC's view, that's a glaring conflict of interest, right at a time when getting the position is MC's main obsession; he's projected too much meaning onto it (e.g., his self realization, his core identify, omega dignity, alpha envy, etc.) to take any threat to it lightly.
Call me cold-blooded or whatevs, but I don't believe there could be genuine affection/love anywhere when objective conflict of interest exists and the bottom line is touched. Especially when communication is shit & MC gets unsettled by any inklings of himself getting attached to anyone.
He's really getting on my nerves now (╬￣皿￣)凸 such a shit. Didn't know the least about respecting someone's will.
