Soohyun is my favorite character. He wants to control Eusung and make him miserable but instead, he’s helping him?! Soohyun has been delusional this entire time. Maybe this started off as jealousy but you now love this man lol.
I just loved that Soohyun kicked the painting. And Eunsung’s hostile comebacks towards nasty old Park were great! The bathroom scene was kinda hot lol. Eunsung wanted to be comforted. I think he has never had someone defend him before. Soohyun came to his rescue.
Minseok is all up in Soohyun’s business lately. This volume ends on a slight cliffhanger. Nothing monumental but Soohyun’s definitely jealous.

It seems like it’s been forever since the last volume came out but this series is a mess, I mean that complimentary. None of these characters are good people and I think that’s why I like it so much.

I am patiently awaiting the downfall of Moon-seob because his kind of bad deserves a public and gruesome downfall.

This story excels where others fail when it comes to showing the complexity of bad people having relationships that are toxic but somehow endearing.
