Beloved Person

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Endless gambling debts of the older brother, a sick grandfather. Amin, who has lived steadfastly even in suffocating circumstances, is dragged into the organization ‘Unsan’ instead of his brother who ran away with debts.

“Baby, want to lick my shoes?”

Having heard rumors that the boss is a cruel, cold-blooded person, Amin can’t even look him in the eye properly. However, contrary to Amin’s expectation that he would be killed or sold off immediately, the boss is seemingly indifferent yet rough and affectionate towards Amin.

“You’re just a kid, so you must like candy.”

“Who dared to make my puppy kneel?”

“Do you like this old man? You little mutt.”

Despite being a scary man who could drag him and his family down to hell at any time, the warmth he offers, as hot as if it could burn the body, is enough to strongly shake Amin, who has never had anyone to rely on in this world.

“…Boss, you’re really a kind person.”

“Kind to a gangster? You’re such a silly baby.”

Amin’s heart helplessly turns towards him.

Is it okay to feel this way about a dangerous man?

He’s just like a cherished possession of the man.

Is it okay for a possession to desire this?

His affection, as sweet as a piece of candy.

The mother of all cliches!!! It's a good, fun, quick read if you just want to enjoy a weak, doormat MC get together with ultra-powerful boss ML.

Sometimes we just wanna turn off our brains and enjoy some weak uke and overbearing seme romance like it's 2010.

Edit: TLer fixed the title lolz thanks

Besides that, I'm going to say that the plot is extremely predictable. I really like mafia BLs so I tolerate reading a lot of nonsense plots, and I even managed to finish all 120 chapters of this story. But did I feel good afterward or feel accomplished? Not really.

The MC doesn't get a lot of development, he just goes from having a bad home to having a good home, and he's literally referred to as the ML's mutt/puppy the entire story (but endearingly lol).... more>> I, for one, stand for meek/pushover MCs, but Amin is even worse than Kim Dan from Jinx. He's that meek. But I'm sure there'll be a reader out there who appreciates his patheticness, I just find it more frustrating than cute sometimes.

The ML doesn't really have much development outside of falling in love with the MC. Imma be frank, you'll probably find their dynamic a little boring. It's just typical mob boss ML who likes to tease/bully the in-debt MC and finds him very cute, is really nice to him and treats him like a beloved pet, and they have lots of s*x.

But like... that's it, lol. No mindbending plot twists, not much worldbuilding in general, but if you like the MC and ML's character archetypes, you'll probably still enjoy reading the story. I mean there is a plot, but you could probably predict everything that will happen the moment you see the signs. That's all to say don't expect too much out of this novel. At least you'll avoid disappointment. <<less

MC is basically used as collateral to settle the debt of his older brother. Kidnapped by a gang/loansharks, MC is threatened with physical and s*xual ab*se, is imprisoned, ab*sed, and isolated while the gang decides what to do with him, and is threatened with the possibility of being sold off. But instead of trafficking the MC, the gang leader ML ends up using him for some kinky pet play.

From the very first moment the MC sees the ML, he immediately sets his sights on gaining his favor for the sake... more>> of his own survival, but quickly starts to genuinely appreciate the ML despite the ML directly victimizing him through kidnapping, threats of violence, unlawful imprisonment, coercion, etc. Despite being terrified of him, the MC also likes the ML because... he provided him with food and new clothing. MC's so scarred from his past that he immediately becomes fond of anyone who takes care of him, and he effectively Stockholm Syndromes himself the moment the ML shows him something like kindness. The writing leaves it a little unclear but it's probably a case of "Protagonist Falls in Love First". Even the ML thinks the MC is weird about the situation.

Mind the tags - MC has some traumatic experiences during the story, and he was sexually assaulted in his backstory (doesn't qualify for the "Rape" tag because it isn't shown in-story, but there's your trigger warning). The ML, while still, like, problematic about it, is the least scummy about physical intimacy with the MC that we see, and ML straight up says that he doesn't want to r*pe him. Though the ML is in a position of power over the MC and is kind of pressuring him about it, the MC starts genuinely wanting to be intimate with the ML and never feels bad about his treatment. So there's that. Match made in heaven.

You want immoral ML + weak MC + confinement + obsessive/possessive love, but also don't want the MC to suffer too much or be too unhappy? Here, we have an MC who is all in for his cruel ML. Enjoy. <<less

Predictable yet captivating enough to wanna see how it all plays out. Misunderstandings are solved fairly fast thus far. Imagining myself as a side character reacting to the main characters actions is endlessly amusing to me.

Spoiler

like imagine watching your boss make someone crawl with a leash in front of everybody after almost beating one of your coworkers with a golf club. I'd be gossiping with my coworkers like crazy after that
