After these vignettes of Jaeyi's past, the most likely outcome is him being avoidant. But the most immediate reaction is angry (Jaeyi's side) sex. I'm crossing my fingers that won't happen because Ideum is precious and I'll be sad if Jaeyi of all people hurts him for something Jaeyi is personally dealing with. I hope Jaeyi used that time, he was waiting for Ideum, for some good rational thinking. He seems like a smart guy (books and streets). Hopefully, the angst and all it encompasses will be handled carefully without ruining Jaeyi's honor and humanity or setting Ideum's progress back to zero.
The brother definitely knows that Jaeyi is fucking Ideum. And because of that knowledge, he actually wants to really fuck Ideum. Jaeyi probably has a complex because his brother was doted on by their parents because he was the ill child but also the golden child. Jaeyi was probably neglected in consequence and in comparison. Then motherfucker has the nerve to even think about the person he knows Jaeyi is fucking like that????!!!
Bro, the brother is red flag. It's so red, it's crimson like his blood on the floor if the author ever had him touch Ideum because I will sever his carotid and jugular arteries.
The fact he want’s to lay down with Ideum, just because his younger brother has something with him, and he just wants to annoy him and 'get back' at him(?)—what a huge loser move, especially considering these are grown adults. How pathetic do you have to be for this? Putting his stick somewhere his brother putting, yuck.
Has Aaron always been thissssss...hmmmmm...idk how to explain. But is this in character?
Yujin is definitely the avoidant type so I get why he run away and why he still is emotionally unavailable.
But Aaron being so cruel, physically...I guess whatever childhood or lack of love he had, is making him act so criminal. The snapshots of his childhood experiences and family background sort of hint on the possibilities of an undeveloped emotionally maturity, especially on situations he hasn't encountered before.
I guess, Yujin vanishing would make Aaron desperate. I guess, a year would make him impatient and deranged. I guess, Aaron's behavior do make sense. BUT it's still so toxic and so BL cliché, it's just disappointing to read...smh
Ok, we weren't begging for any smut or 19+ or however you'll want to say it.
We were begging for a resolution that has substance. This chapter, this moment, was building. The bricks were being laid since the earlier chapters. We expected at least a brick wall thick enough to stop us in our tracks and maybe get a contusion. This chapter is not even a hanged bedsheet. This chapter, the scene we all have been waiting for is barely a sheet of paper.
No substance. No meat. smh








The brother needs to not exist in their proximity please
I'm hoping that the author will not walk the path of Yaio clichés. I'm looking forward to how she'll tackle their (Ideum and Jaeyi) relationship.
I want to see Jaeyi heal from his childhood of neglect. I want to see Ideum live his life and stop blaming himself from his parent's relationship failure.
I want both of them to experience the love they were deprived of growing up. Two lonely boys creating the life they always wanted and deserved.
