After reading so many manga, I came to a realization that people just don't wanna communicate with each other. They will make assumption, excuses or holyshit.. Believe their love rival. It's laughable sometimes. How could trust your opponent so easily but not your own lover? Are you really in love? Ugh, excuse my babbling. But I just had to get it outta my chest.
So.. About the review. It was a nice story. Not too much drama or too much pain which I liked. There was just one hitch, which was because of their lack of communication but after that everything was smooth sailing. 

Sunny was very naive and cute. The little habits of his that are shown in detail and I liked his progress of making himself better with the help of taesung Lee. I just want to say that people do try to change themselves or their partners in how they like. But if you do love someone, you will love all of his good and bad habits. Then you won't feel the need to mold him into a new person. Because that's just means that you don't love that person. You just love the person you have imagined him or her to be in your head. 

Again I'm going off track. So, There were many hot scenes. Hehe. Greedy. 

Overall, it was fun to read. Thank you author.

It falls right into that cliched storyline- love triangle, miscommunications, AND the cheesiest scenario to fall in love at first sight, which is touching your bedridden crush's eyes and the crush just happens to catch you basking in a lover's glow and becomes enamoured too loool. 

That aside, the love contender Kwon Young is perhaps the most tolerable love rival you can find amongst all those love triangle stories out there. He IS controlling but not in a yandere way where he needs to "tear off the limbs" of the uke just so they can only belong to him. FAMILIAR MUCH? That's legit one of the most rehashed traits possessive lovers say.... "every part of you IS MINE" *sigh*. I know you folks are already accustomed to that typical character with such mindset but Young isn't that fortunately. He's just a composed control freak who thinks he can make decisions for someone. And his character's resolution fell short abit, as if a little pondering could make you reevaluate and come to terms with the things you've done. Welp Young's exactly that, such simple way to dissolve your established mindset lol.

Urgh I'm just getting sick of these supporting characters who act as the villains who break up the couple. Seriously just needed to stop at chapter 24, it was literally getting on my nerves!!!!

This was actually super cute, fluffy and wholesome. The art style is stunning, and the sex scenes are both intimate and wholesome. Every character is so well written. Also, their students add a refreshing atmosphere, and their moments with Taesung and Sunny are so cute.

Sunny was in a toxic and controlling relationship. Sunny's ex-boyfriend, Young, was manipulative and controlling in every aspect of Sunny's life, from his clothes, to his career, and even his personal choices. In that way, he lost himself. The warmth I get when I see Taesung and Sunny's growth. I genuinely love it when Sunny finds himself, what he likes or dislikes, and eventually learns to make his own personal decisions without Young's influence lingering over him. They really had a beautiful journey. I was delighted when they finally got together. Also, I appreciated how there were scenes of encouragement. Taesung's respect for and support of Sunny's following of his dreams are truly sweet. They also have healthy and consensual relationships too!

This is a decent read, the smut was worth the read *if the story irks you just go to chap. 20 that's where smut starts roughly* The characters are decent, just frustrating Mc didn't want to hear ml out all because the ex talked to him first. Lack of communication was obnoxious but it resolves quickly and then it's smooth and cute flowing after that. The side stories are cute. They are really cute together so I'd recommend yaoi lovers to read thisnat least once :))

**spoilers**

Ml passed me off when he neglected to inform he was seeing/hanging with his ex -_- slightly used the Mc too which was annoying but I'm glad he realized he liked Mc first so it works out in the end but ugh I hate controlling exes that think they "love" their s.o. THAT THEY HAVE CONTROLLED TO BE HOW THEY WANT THEM. Glad ml is in a much healthier relationship now tho :))
