Ugh my heart is divided. As someone who needs constant reassurance with words I understand Garam. As someone who has a partner who doesn’t say it that much because he finds it empty, I understand the professor.
But the professor will say it, I know he will. But those words will mean maybe nothing, it’s the actions, the attitude, the change in his life the way he shows it.
For some people saying words could be meaningless, just sounds in the air, what counts is how you behave but it’s here in how you behave that then you start saying it to reassure the other person.
Professor, I love you, and I know you’ll do the right thing but it will take time.
Damn, I love how Garam loves and pays attention to the professor. For him to be aware that he was involved to some extent just by listening to his way of speaking about the situation. BRAVOOOOO!! You’re a wife Garam, you know your man.
As someone said from the comments, now that his Gem has suffered the yelling and humiliation from someone else now it’s wrong. I don’t know how many years have passed since Heejae humiliate and yell to Garam, bc now it’s just praising and nagging to improve that maybe that’s why his hears are finally listening. I understand Heejae’s motives to show Compton’s true colors and his cult leader behavior after getting his babe yelled but man, those people were going to talk about him at some point without your involvement.
I hope Garam can tell the professor what a fucking hypocrite he has been, and to oblige him to do something nice for Compton.
Which in his discussion about him in previous chapters on how he couldn’t understand what was Jeffrey thinking makes their relationship more complicated. Jeffrey wanted to become the professor, the professor was annoyed by why he was trying to become a copycat of his sound… in a way I understand, we are unique but the way he wanted to bring Jeffrey’s own sound was definitely harsh and torturous. Still, in his own way professor had some sort of respect that disappeared once he moved to be a conductor. Kind of giving up in Heejae’s eyes. Could this be maybe the point of no return for Compton where he once again touches a piano? I hope so. (⊙…⊙ )
What more proof do we need to realize Heejae is human…? He was fucking Garam while playing the song he composed for him… c’mon.
But I completely understand that Garam is getting anxious after what Compton said… which I guess it’s pretty normal. I’ve not met any relationship that don’t “doubt” the love or the intensity of it. That’s why there are a lot of fucking memes of women saying: “would you love me if I were a couch?” We seek for reassurance, it doesn’t matter if we know we are loved we just want to hear it.
Anyway; professor wanting and going for round 2 at the shower ufff, I wish I could be a pianist haha
In the perfect world everyone should be nice to everyone… guess what that doesn’t happen. Not in a story nor in reality. I understand what you mean, but there are people who decide to whom they want to be kind, according to their beliefs, opinions, or ideas they have towards the other person.
Many stories here are like that “the top” that isn’t kind to anyone but only his partner… well here’s the same.
Heejae is an asshole, but not because he’s a god, it’s because people have treated him like one, so here Garam using the same metaphor of him descending from heaven just for music doesn’t match with him fucking Garam while playing that’s what I meant.
┗( T﹏T )┛
It really breaks my heart when someone you love and loves you back doesn’t remember the wounds they caused.
The last chapter reminded me about parents. Heejae was complaining and judging Compton as if he was never that person. Kind of like parents, if you ever had to deal with an abusive parent (which sometimes I feel it was my case but then it wasn’t) and they change over time because X or Y things happened later on their lives and then they have this illusion of a great upbringing without thinking of the yelling and screaming they did… uff.
So the same thing here, you can try to understand why they behave like that (Heejae’s stubbornness and loneliness) but that doesn’t justify their behavior ever! It doesn’t matter that now they are angels with you… the past cannot be changed or erased, sometimes forgiven yes for some, but for others is just kind of I understand where are you coming from and yet you were an asshole abuser. Just like some people can still love their parents… same here.
It’s a decision, it’s your own views on how you approach and cope with that past, so I hope Garam finds the opportunity to say you know you did this, you did this to me and to others… and continue with their lives but at the end we need to make people accountable.
Heejae, I love your growth but we don’t forget. Period hahahaha
Still what an amazing sex car scene like damn daddy, keep eating me!
It’s interesting that for Compton, the way Heejae loves Garam isn’t “enough”. He’s just saying he loves you bc of your music and that’s probably true. He was interested in him because of his sound and when he couldn’t deliver it (student years) he was fed up and willing to cast him aside so yes.
But is it wrong tho? That professor loved Garam bc of his sound, I mean for them I guess it’s another layer of showing yourself as a being… just like people can fall at first sight by looks or ways of speaking… it’s not like you love the whole person bc we will never be able to know someone but to discover them day by day … so yes, Heejae loves Garam, particularly his sound because it touches his soul. If Garam lost the ability to play will the professor remain, for that I’m not sure, I’d like to think yes. Because both of them have now touched and seen their souls, both understand music kind of in the same way now.
So I’m glad by Garam’s answer: so what? We know we are loved for a reason, our personality, our looks, our work, our family, our money, our future… there’s a reason… so what about it? Some reasons can be perceived as nicer than others but we all have a reason why we love someone.
Compton, it really breaks my heart, compassion is hard to understand. Because in his eyes, what’s the Professor suffering or pain that deserves it? What kind of demons could a “god” possibly have? But, as a movies have quoted: even gods bleed, so does Heejae.
Amazing story can get enough of it. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
I loved the chapter!!! I loved Compton’s reaction. I loved his inner dialogue about how wrong he was of calling out Garam and how he recognized he was messing their ‘heavenly music’.
I think Garam’s interpretation as explained before is how to handle the professor and it makes sense he pours hatred, anxiety, and warmth. That’s how they relationship started Garam hated the professor, he hated how he was treated and ofc he was almost all the time anxious and it was visible throughout the his student life and his early career. But later, warmth came… he recognized the lonely and pitiful man hiding in his music. He saw him beyond his teaching, career but as a human … ofc this doesn’t mean that everyone should look at him with those eyes because he’s been a fricking asshole.
So yeah, going back to his performance I think that’s why he can use those feelings at the same time. He knows Heejae can be a moron and asshole, he still gets anxious of his career and what the professor will think but also at this point he has felt also the warmth Heejae can give and how Garam’s sound can soothe him. (▰˘◡˘▰)
Ufff as I previously, I understand Compton’s feelings. There’s no other way that he wouldn’t feel betrayed no matter what, he was delusional yes but also deceived. I’m not blaming Garam, but he and the professor were deceiving him and lying to him… for X reasons that are valid but still. They could have chosen another director, another concerto moment but indeed both in a way recognized Compton’s work.
I’m glad the professor didn’t intervene but the most magical moment was: then you do it, show me how to play the piano… because damn! That was a fucking slap hahaha he’s fully aware of how his music and performance has grown and also calling him immature and not worthy of being on stage for his feeling were also a cold bucket! I love Garam.
I didn’t like the manager thinking he has become cold… as implying that’s bad. He was being humiliated and he didn’t allow it another second more because ofc those things were petty behavior and not real feedback to his music.
You go Garam, stomp that bitch’





Guys the blond guy reminded me of All Might and now I’ve developed a weird kink with All Might being a sexual being. Fack
All might has always been a sexual being. To me at least
