ML gets drugged and drags the MC to have s*x. The description of it at first is painfully but the ML takes care of MC in his own way. The MC wants it because he has a crush on ML but doesn't want it because he doesn't want ML to know his secondary gender. I don't know about future chapters but I think this is where ML gets addicted. He doesn't get exposed there though so he's safe 😮‍💨

At first Joohyuk uses Yihyeon as a way to vent his s*xual urges. As Yihyeon rarely shows emotions, I understand that for Joohyuk it can be incredibly difficult to understand that what he's doing is wrong. It takes others pointing out how worst for wear Yihyeon is for him to finally realise. For Joohyuk, his life is often targeted by others - primarily his step-family and as such he has grown to be distant, cold and domineering thus I like how he progressively learns to have a bit more humanity and care over the chapters. This character development is quite slow but incredibly well done imo.

On the other hand, Yihyeon also grows over the chapters but maybe in a less positive way. At the beginning Yihyeon is again, very faithful to Joohyuk and you could say maybe blinded by his love for him. However over the subsequent chapters, he begins to question his relationship more with him. At one point he is keenly aware that he feels not only love but maybe even a bit of loathing for both himself and Joohyuk. I guess for me I like how it isn't a narrative of 'love will fix all' and instead shows all the ugly with it too. This definitely isn't the most romantic relationship (it's toxic lol) but I find the character growth the most interesting and well done I've seen in a while.

Other interesting points I find about this novel is the backstory of these characters, specifically Yihyeon. Yihyeon is of course hiding the fact he is not a beta but rather an omega. However from the glimpses we've seen, Yihyeon is always able to keep this ruse as he too is from a powerful family (Yihyeon isn't even his real name!).
