YEAAAAH I LOVE THESE MESSY MOTHERFUCKERS I'M SO GLAD THEY'RE BACK! am i the only one who thinks it's cute they're having such a domestic dispute.. literally arguing over finances like the most mundane of married couples... it's so in-character for them to disagree on this matter too. god please give us like 20 chapters of the side story
that's just how they flirt your honor!
on a serious note, i don't view the divorce thing as a big of a deal as people are making it out to be; marriage isn't the be all and end all of relationships, especially to someone like brett. and i like that it's not being used as a magical fix for the issues they didn't resolve prior to getting married.
but even if they get divorced, they'll still end up together, whether it's brett agreeing to remarry hayden because he comes to understand why hayden values it, or hayden understanding that he doesn't need to confine brett inside a marriage to preserve their relationship. that back and forth has been the defining feature of their dynamic throughout the entire series, and i enjoy reading about two drastically different people negotiating a middle ground on which they can stand together, as well as all the mistakes they make along way. i think a lot of people were expecting the typical fluffy extras they get in other BL manhwa, but an unsettling scent has never been that kind of story. i'm glad we're getting extras more along the line of the form of sympathy or the beast must die.
I understand where you’re coming from, I personally don’t believe in the constitution of marriage at all, but in saying that I believe in relationships as a whole. If someone I’m with keeps holding it over my head, threatening to leave if they don’t agree with me instead of having an adult conversation about it I think it’s immature and quite frankly not worth my effort at all. It’s childish to keep marrying then divorcing then remarrying (thousands upon thousands of dollars down the drain, which Hayden is not supposed to be taking so lightly) if one wants to be married and the other doesn’t. It’s also childish to force Brett into marriage like that is the bandaid that holds them together, the whole relationship in the main story was a power struggle and my -naive- understanding was that they gave in and laid bare all their shortcomings and whatnot to meet in the middle.. then eventually worked it out. Guess not, I understand there are toxic relationships but why are we glorifying them? I hoped that we get a wholly complex couple with horrifying issues and they make. it. work.
Idk if Brett is being forced too bc after they broke up in college he was the one that decided to “pursue” Hayden when he found him and Hayden told him he was old fashioned and wanted to get married, he could have chose to not reunite with Hayden. I feel like if you know your partner wants to be married but you don’t, you shouldn’t be with them at all.
Hopefully in the side stories, Brett realizes that if he wants to be with Hayden, he needs to act like it











we're finally getting into the meat of it and i'm terrified, the latest chapter feels like static in the air when a storm is imminent.
also, "he's a terrible person, i can hardly even admit i miss him," felt like getting shot point-blank in the chest. i made me think of my dad and i feel personally attacked lmfao
You’re so right ugh
