Their relationship just makes me depressed. It's so far from love. When Yeonwoo says that he loves Keith it just makes me feel like he's holding on to a fake type of love. One where he has given up on trying to find someone better for him because he knows that he can't escape Keith. He has his child, the world hunts him down if he runs away, and people's jobs are at stake if he doesn't stay with Keith. For Yeonwoo staying with Keith means an easier life for everyone around him including him. Even if that means that he has to deal with the SA that he went through and never getting an apology from Keith. Yeonwoo doesn't romantically love him, he loves him in the fact that it's the easiest and safest option for him and his child. (I do realize that the author is going for the romantic type of love, but base on previous chapters and how their relationship has been built that's probably the love that Yeonwoo would actually feel). It's not love, it's abuse.
oh cmon, that's no true. yeonwoo loved keith since the very beginning and keith fell in love with him after.(๑•ㅂ•)و✧ ╮(￣▽￣)╭
i feel like you’re taking this way outta context ngl.
if that's true, Keith hasn't acted like it. When Keith raped Yeonwoo he never apologized for doing so, and when Yeonwoo ran away, Keith placed a bounty on him. Putting his life in danger because of it. Yeonwoo left because he wasn't comfortable around Keith. He didn't trust him anymore. When Keith should have respected his space and realized that he had messed up and hurt Yeonwoo, he did the opposite. Yeonwoo may have loved him in the beginning, I'm sure he did, but I'm saying that after the way Keith has treated him it's not a healthy type of love anymore. It's similar to how abuser treats their loved ones. They will harm them, but give them words of affirmation to make them feel guilty for wanting to leave the said abuser.
How so? I'm taking what has been shown in the chapters and looking at both the actions and the words that they say to each other.
i feel like Keith just rly loves him
I love the artwork right before the title card It portrays the duke and the prince walking in the same direction but separated by a building. It shows the relationship between the two wonderfully. You have the duke who walks alone on the left, which symbolizes how isolated and detached he is from the royal family. He isn't actually welcomed there, and it's why he walks alone. On the other hand, you have the prince, to the right, who is being guarded by many people, illustrating his importance in the royal family. However, what I loved most about the scene was the fact that the two "brothers" were walking in the same direction, yet are separated from each other. They don't walk together as friends or "brothers". I know that they don't interact with each other so they wouldn't walk with each other, but the imagery solidifies how broken their relationship is. Two "brothers" that, based on past events, no longer see eye to eye. It's subtle, but when you notice it, it makes you realize how good of a story this is.
