El comienzo no fue el mejor, pero después de un segundo intento de lectura me atrapó

i haven’t even started yet and i can already tell it’s bound to be a five star, lol.

edit: 0.0 whoaaa. this really IS exotic, lololol. or toxic, more like… an odd duo either way. really intriguing thus far!!!

edit #2: this is so good, man. i love the ambiguity of it all! as well as the dynamic between the main characters. really, this one’s an enigma to me. so much toxicity… yet i honestly can’t help but wish for them to get together. i just want them to start fresh. however, and whenever, their story ends, all i wish is for them to be happy respectively. or, if i would dare dream of more, i wish for them to make each other happy. maybe that could be a new start. they’d have such a long way to go, though… and this is not something i’d normally want to see, but i feel for these two. really, i do. humans are beautifully flawed creatures… and i love how the creator truly demonstrated that here. this is really, really good. melancholic and depressing, without a doubt, but so fragile and delicate all the same. i never thought i’d say this when i first started out, lol! there are so many complex mental issues they need to work through, seriously—jung jaehan especially. he might be one of the more damaged characters i’ve ever come across in the world of manhwa thus far, lol… which should say a lot.

anyway, it seems as though there’s one one chapter left of the main story, so i’m excited to reach its conclusion! and i’ll be even happier to see its continuation. ^^

edit #3: reading the side chapters and my heart is finally dancing. <33

edit #4: …um, i take it back. they’re both preeeetty damn fucked up in the head, seriously. why do they treat each other like this, and WHY do they not seem to hate it? or at they both just… masochists…? this is pretty wack, not gonna lie. still love it, though. (i know… i disgust myself, too.) goddamn it!!! #matchmadeinheaven

edit #5: name a more toxic couple than this one. i’ll wait.

ugh, seriously… they’re so fucked up, it’s not even funny. they assault, comfort and ruin each other on a near-daily basis, it’d seem. what a mess. this is not a relationship i’d ever recommend or advocate for in real life. NEVER. this is fiction, and it should stay that way. still, it seems to me like they’re FINALLY initiating a true healing process for once... (that’s new, lol.) knowing that they’ll choose to stay together nonetheless, one can only hope that they’ll work on their respective issues and look for solace in each other instead of seeking out doubt and self-destruction all the time. i suspect they’re on the right path, though. i believe in youuuu, ya toxic man-children!!! i’m feeling pretty content now after having read the side stories in their entirety, though… i thoroughly believe they’re going to be okay.☺️

(P.S. PLEASE NOTE THAT I DON’T EVER WISH TO PROMOTE SEXUAL ASSAULT OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. it’s not okay; it’ll never be okay, and i genuinely can’t believe how or why i still like these two together. i suppose they’ll be one of the few exceptions i’ll make when it comes to these things. just… please make note of that before you judge me, heh. i disgust myself, too.)

Jeong Jaehan (MC) is a complete bastard but oh, how the great has fallen. He was such an asshole at the beginning of S1 but who knew that all he needed to mellow out was to get fucked hard and rough by a Mr. Yoon Hee-kyum (ML)? This turn of events definitely took JJH for surprise and because of that, he was in denial of his feelings for YHK until he lost the very person who made him feel something again. The sex scenes were so good and I liked how JJH was drawn to be at the mercy of YHK, looking all red and debauched. He looked pathetic at some parts and it brought me so much delight.

Does JJH deserve to be forgiven by YHK? No, and even he has enough self awareness to not ask for forgiveness for all the terrible things he did to crush YHK. Even so, their chemistry is amazing and I’m pretty sure they’ll end up together in the end, which I wouldn’t be opposed to as long as JJH suffers and atones for his mistakes. Like the author needs to make him grovel (and I mean GROVEL), otherwise it’s not going to be a satisfying ending for me.

These motherfuckers are toxic as hell!! More specifically the MC. He is completely unsympathetic and fucking cruel for literally no reason. He needs to take his ass to therapy!
