TJ와 대면한 후로 불안에 사로잡힌 조셉. 곁에 있는 이안을 두고 조셉은 집착의 감정이 수면 위로 올라오는 것을 느낀다. 한편, 사고를 가까스로 피한 TJ는 조직 상황에 개입을 암시하는 이안의 모습에 흔들리기 시작하고, 폭풍전야의 조직으로부터 이안을 떨어뜨려 놓고자 한다.
The first thing I felt when I saw your face was relief.
The exquisite tragedy of Shin Youngwoo and Oh Taejoon: wanting to protect each other from a world that has always been hostile to them, and hurting each other in the process, over and over again, because neither knows how to communicate how deeply they love the other.
Season 1 starts with Youngwoo wanting to leave and Taejoon wanting him to stay. Season 2 starts with Youngwoo wanting to stay and Taejoon leaving to protect him. There’s something so Shakespearean about this. I’m in love.
Maybe you really decided to let me go, and this might actually be the end of us.
P.S. This volume really cemented that Jo is toxic, manipulative, and absolutely disgusting...
marynowała się ta manhwa i marynowała na mojej długiej liście „do przeczytania”, aż w końcu (widząc coraz więcej spoilerów) wgryzłam się w nią z pewną rezerwą, nie spodziewając się jednak, że ona wgryzie się we mnie i to tak się wgryzie, że ja cię kręcę. dawno nic mi tak nie zmieniło chemii w mózgu.
This manhwa has to feature one of the best bl love triangles of all time because I swear I've never been so seamlessly dissuaded from my ride-or-die pick to end up with the protagonist. I don't know how I've jumped ship to become a ride-or-die for the other male lead while also not hating my old fav (since a lot of authors love to nerf one love interest to uplift the other) . At this point I'll always have a strong favourite, but be ultimately satisfied with whoever Ian ends up with since all of these characters have such amazing depth to them. Doyak is such a great storyteller.
After being a TJ truther through yearsss worth of updates (that friends-to-lovers plot had me hooked to him as endgame), I've finally seen the light. I adore Jo. Ian deserves peace, and at this point I can't see how anyone but Jo can offer him a life of that.
