A sunless old mansion located on the outskirts of Seoul. Among them, Sung-kyung, who ran a snack bar in the most remote corner, tended to focus on one thing. The person he was currently obsessed with was Kwon Chungrim, the manager of the Red Mansion.

[A total of 8 minutes on July 13th. He bought 1,000 won worth of ice cream and paid 30,000 won.

He wore a beige shirt and a large silver watch.] [He turned the fan towards me. Even the lukewarm wind makes my heart beat.] [Why did you come? Why did you smile at me at the end?]

One day, he observed Chungrim with a gloomy gaze and wrote everything down in my notebook. Sung-kyung, while obsessively thinking about him, ended up getting caught.

“You. You want to f*ck with me?”

“…”

“I am not going to beat you up. Will you come when I f*ck you? Ah, I’m really curious. Take off your pants.”

“Huh?”

“Let’s test it out. I wonder if I will too. f*ck, but what if I throw up?”

“Okay, I can take it. I will make sure that it doesn’t get dirty.”

Status: Completed
TW: su*cide, Self harm, abuse

(For the novel itself and the review)

I started this novel bc I was too impatient to wait for manga changers lol.

I really loved this novel.

Was it toxic? Absolutely, but it's a mutual toxic. Especially in the very beginning and the end.

Although the MC is 100% move pitiful than the ML.

MC and MLs state in the beginning:

... more>>
Spoiler

TW: Self-harm

MC: Born in a hellhole, lived there his entire life, parents are dying, obsessed with the ML and writes about every single interaction they have. Works in a convenience store in said hellhole.

ML: Born in the same hellhole, lived there for his younger years, started cutting himself due to the lack of attention from his dad or elder twin brothers, only to become obsessed with the attention/feeling (wzsnt very clear in MTL). Dad dies in front of him, he no lives in the hellhole but manages it.

[collapse]

MC:

Spoiler

After ML starts paying attention to him he becomes more obssesed and belive himself to be special the ML. Is given rules like 'no noises during s*x, can't look back at him during s*x, have to call ML every single hour' and does get slapped by the ML if he breaks the rules (and then the MC gushes about it)

[collapse]

ML:

Spoiler

He notices MCs obsession with him, the MC gives him a bj while the ML is drunk, and than the ML starts going to his store to have the MC give him bjs, where they eventually had s*x. In the beginning he thought of the MC as a pass time but eventually becomes just as obsessed

[collapse]

Tipping Point:

Spoiler

TW: Self-harm, su*cide attempt, abuse

There are quite a few tipping points I feel, the first is the death of MCs mother:

He goes a little coocoo, starts hearing his mother speak to him, he starts forgetting tons of stuff and it's what causes the ML to keep him at his house.

The second one is the MCs fathers death:

Now the MC has absolutely no one except for the ML, and the ML knows this, and it makes him much more possessive, and also in the mentality of 'I can never let him go because he only has me'. The MC gets even crazier, starts forgetting the cats name, where he is, why he is at the MLs house, keeps trying to get his money to pay off his debts that the ML has already waved. He wants to pay off the debts bc he thinks it'll stop the ML from abandoning him.

The MC tries to find his money:

He leaves MLs house while the ML is gone to get his money and pay off the debt. The ML catches him, does something to his leg (it wasn't clear in MTL if he actually breaks it) beats him, and starts keeping the MC in one room. He chains him to the bed and the MC has to where a cast on his leg so it's hard for him to walk anyway. The MC memory and the auditory hallucinations get worse, the ML is taking car of the MC like a baby and losing sleep bc the routine is (Day time: MC is awake, he's fed bathed, changed etc, Night time: he suffers from the hallucions and starts banging on the door). The ML is also upset that he's the only one the MC doesn't have auditory hallucinations about (which, I feel is bc the MC feels secure and safe with him but that's just me). The ML also starts getting nervous about the fact that the MC has started writing down his name alot as if hes gonna forget him, and all of this culminates into the final tipping point.

The ML finally couldn't handle the MC telling him he wanted to get his money. He drives the MC to the red mansion, while telling him he's gonna abandon him. MC is crying and begging him, the ML brings him to his room, and locks him inside. The MLs plans was to lock him in there for a day or two to 'teach him a lesson' and make him finally stop 'trying to leave him'. The MC thinks he's been fully abandoned so he find the blanket he used to put over his parents, and a knife, and slit his wrist.

The ML goes home but has an extremely bad feeling and ends up going back, and the MC is barely saved. When the MC wakes up the ML has amnesia and only remembers his parents getting sick and him taking over the convenience store, and the first few meeting the ML (before the starts of the story) the ML lies and says that his parents died soon after they got sick and now he lives with him and they're together bla bla bla

[collapse]

The MCs Secret:

Spoiler

He doesnt have amnesia (he did for a few days but it went away) We find this out because it was recommendd for him to got o therapy, and the ML (/slightly/ reluctatly does it) the MC pretends to not remember any of the stuff that happened, but occasionally messes with the ML by thinking about certain things like room 422, ot the convenience store. He does this because he likes the way ML freaks out and it makes him feel reassured that he won't be abandoned. The ML never finds out.

[collapse]

Relationship at the end:

Spoiler

While the ML still has occasional freak outs and doesnt like the MC doing thing put of the routine placed for him (oh btw did I mention he has security camers in every single room of the house, theres like 9 in the living room, and the MC likes it for some reason) they have a relatively happy and healthy (?) love. They both are extremelyin love with each other the MC likes how controlling the ML is, and ML likes that the MC stays within his control.

ML is also extremely scared of doing harm or the MC being harmed. (Which funny bc the MC doesn't like that the ML is no longer leaving 'marks' on him bc he no longer slaps him or bites him hard).

[collapse]

TLDR-ish:

Spoiler

Tw: su*cide attempt

Basically these are two obsessive humans obsessed with each other who eventually live happily every after.

(After a couple deaths, a su*cide attempt, and some manipulation from both sides.)

[collapse]

This is definitely not a healthy novel in any way, and I would understand not liking it, I personally did though. <<less
