this was actually really weird ngl.. youngjin (uke) is a hacker for this organization run by a man called ‘sir.’ he is kidnapped by president seo (seme) on a mission gone bad, and his idea to make collateral with seo is to make a sex tape. president seo gives youngjin an ultimatum - he can save 2/3 people involved in the mission, his choice. youngjin sacrifices himself and is forced to work for president seo, and then a lot of confusing shit ends up happening. the whole running away plot had me so lost? why was youngjin like… happy to get caught by seo? why even run away then? and he did it while pregnant with their kid i think? the ending was pretty satisfying though. seeing youngjin kick 'sir's' ass was beautiful. after the run away arc, the two were very yas together. i have a soft spot for action duos i think. i’ve definitely read worse but it didn’t knock my socks off.

gitae (uke) wakes up in an underground bunker with a missing leg. his captor, jihun (seme), is almost like a puppy, always doting on gitae despite him having kidnapped him? out of desperation, gitae offers himself to jihun in order to snag one of jihun’s hairpins to escape. once he manages to get out of the bunker, his memories come flooding back. gitae, who thought he was freshly 20, had actually been surviving a zombie apocalypse for the past 10 years. having been left for dead by his group and set up to be canibalized by his boyfriend, jihun found him and rescued him. jihun, now an orphan, had been trained by his parents to survive the apocalypse, and he had inherited their huge underground bunker. however, since growing up in isolation since he was 10, gitae takes it upon himself to take care of this blubbering 20 year old. the two fall in love and live out the rest of their days together ;-; UDDGH. why so short i cry. apparently, there’s a lot of side stories from this that just haven’t been translated? i yearn for more of them. the story was so fucking good. i loved the side where gitae and jihun murder gitae’s former assaulters while looking for a better prothesis for him. jihun is so hunky crybaby goals. actually the best apocalypse bl i’ve read to date

oh my GOD. THIS WAS SO GOOD. taeman (killer) was the perfect mix of cute and broody, and i adored dahyuk (actor). i was actually laughing out loud at some of the comedy like.. but also no boombayah (cries) but the story was so fire??? the way that taeman and dahyuk’s lives got interwoven through the squid gang connections was actually just peak writing? i love when bl plots actually make sense instead of constant smashing with zero plot. i’m missing them already ;-; (also loved the killer being the implied bottom.. if only we got to see it… sigh) (03.11.2025)
