"I believe it's high time we knew Taeha's backstory and why he became so attached to Haesoo..."
What if I told you the answer was already given in volume 5?
Don't believe me? Let me show you. ๐งต๐
@Christi93479726 Mmm, I wouldn't call her dumb. To me, she's someone unable to process reality.
Her feelings blind her to the truth.
She genuinely believes Mincheol is a misunderstood victim that she can "fix."
She's not stupid. She's just trapped in a delusion of her own making.
"That crazy bitch kept throwing herself at my boyfriend!"
This is the moment Ari abandoned all reason.
She won't hear her dad. To her, everyone is a conspirator against her and Mincheol. ๐

@ali_malow I agree. It's her choice. It has always been her choice.
She decided to believe in him without asking anything, without questioning.
When you don't question, you can't say you were duped.
I hope I'm wrong. ๐ค
But delusion is a dangerous thing.
The mind can trick us into believing what we want to be true, instead of the harsh reality.
She will become the tragic antagonist.
Her love will become her own doom.
And that's pitiable... but also her choice....
But what happens when Mincheol himself tells her he doesn't want her anymore?
She will crumble. She will deny his words. She will convince herself that Haesoo "won" him over.
And she will become even more dangerous.

Did Mincheol just receive Taeha's programmed message from Haesoo's phone? Or is that Ari's dad texting him?
Honestly, it doesn't matter. Because either way, misfortune is coming for him like a loaded truck.
Reckoning day is just 5 days away... ๐ฟ

Taeha really is a vampire. He left his 'mark' on the left side of Haesoo's neck again! ๐ซฆ
And then he cooked her his trademark "a little salty, a little sweet, and a little spicy" meal.
First he bites her, then he feeds her.
The perfect predator. โค๏ธ

@toawfiles Thank you for translating! ๐
"I sincerely hope you get married. And I genuinely hope you live a miserable, unhappy life."
Savage. Brutal. Cold-blooded. Unhinged.
I'm honestly speechless. ๐ญ
The petty King has spoken. ๐๐บ

Today's chapter in a nutshell!
Taeha really gave us a masterclass in petty, unhinged, chaebol revenge. ๐บ๐ฟ
Mincheol, start warming up. You're next. ๐
#tearsonawitheredflower
My bet is that she won't. Her character won't allow her to do that. She won't last a year.
She mocked Haesoo for being "old" and "withered." But now, with her parents knowing the truth, her entire life is going to change.
Karma is a bitch, and she has Ari's name on her list. ๐
After todayโs chapter, it's clear that Ari is literally about to walk in Haesoo's shoes.
And my question is:
Would she be able to keep up with the real Kang Mincheol?
#tearsonawitheredflower
Not the victim she knows, but the victim maker.
Haesoo survived 13 years of him because she was trauma-bonded and knew how to endure. She was used to pain.
But Ari has never faced a real hardship in her life. She has never experienced a situation like Haesoo's.
