She knows what she wants AND she made the first move!! AHHH!! I also like how shyness =/= being a pushover here. She's so pretty too (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)
You're killing my boy with the unintended innuendoes. He's doing his best, but damn! lol
Seriously though, they're both so cute together. I wish I had found this when there were more chapters because I need more!
Because I feel like this one is gonna be a tear-jerker somehow. I'm going to guess something like Gi-tae and Serin were lovers a long, long time ago but something happened that caused them to die. Gi-tae reincarnated but Serin couldn't.
That, or Serin was ALWAYS a ghost (or maybe even a god of sorts?) and Gi-tae's past self, a shaman who could see spirits, was the one who named her after they fell in love.
Either way, I feel like the plot is gonna be good and I'll end up crying by the end.
This isn't the first time I've seen it used as lube in a yaoi. Wth are y'all on?? PSA for those wondering: Don't use cake as lube.
i imagine how sticky it is but it's fiction so idgaf
I want her name to have characters from both Kwon's and Ho's names since they're her dada and papa (╥﹏╥ )
That super powerful alien (that Mori has the mark of on his cape) or one of its close underlings fell in love and somehow had a child with a human. Something happened to the human partner so after they found Mori in that basement they decided a human orphanage would be better for him to grow up in since he's more human-like than alien. But when he disappeared they obvi went looking for him. I think the one we saw recently wasn't the parent though, just works for the parent.
I have a bad feeling the human parent might be dead. If that's the case, I hope Rider becomes Mori's other adoptive parent.
UR ON TO SMTHHH OMG
Saw a comment about aging them up, but I felt I should just make my own topic on how I feel about it instead of writing an essay in their comments.
_______________________________________________
I'd agree that aging the characters up sometimes has no affect on a story and would make it less weird if they were adults, but I think them being in high school actually fits really well with the narrative of this story.
I think the fear of being "caught" by their parents/school played into a bigger symbolic fear of being "caught" as now being almost non-human in a sense. I felt sympathy for these scared teenagers who don't have all the answers, going through changes they can't tell anyone about, forcing them to act "normal".
If they lived alone as college students or adults, it just wouldn't hit the same. They could just hole up at home the whole time, would probably have a better grasp on how to handle their emotions, and would likely have more resources to find others going through the same thing.
Being teenagers makes them powerless and that loss of control is exactly what makes the story great. And fwiw, they're 17, so they are near-adults, but that distinction is also important. They're soon going to have to navigate those exact major life changes (moving away for college [probably together now], becoming more independent, getting jobs, etc.) WHILE dealing with this issue, rather than just dealing with it after they've already established themselves as adults. I think the reader should be left to ponder these things. It's an open-ended conclusion with an actual purpose, which is rare in this genre.
tl;dr I think being teenagers was important for the plot in this story.
aside from the helplessness, the high school setting is also great for the "wanting to be normal" aspect of the plot. It is in high school where most people create their own identity by observing and interacting with other people. This is why in most movies or series, the subject of conformity, including outcasting or bullying people for it, are mostly set in high school.
That's a really good point! I'm also thinking about how the subject of fitting in plays into other aspects. Like Nishio with his step-dad. He's trying his hardest to not rock the boat, and I imagine he felt he couldn't go to her for help because it could upset their relationship.
"What if my step-dad leaves my mom because I cause too many problems? He makes her happy, and she's already worried about us getting along. I shouldn't cause trouble for them."
If he didn't live at home, this probably wouldn't have been something he'd need to consider.
^"go to her", as in his mom.
