Honestly? This arc was more sincere than BL that takes itself fully seriously.
But yeah not for nothing Iltak, you should be asking why they like you. Cause it's still mostly just "Face," "Body," and "Kinda dumb (affectionate)," as I said in the chapter about Hyunwoo's fat ass. Fully valid reasons, but twink death is gonna kill two out of three of those traits in a decade. I guess he's now got guilt on his side, but that doesn't count.
More importantly, is the guy Iltak rejected finally gonna make a reappearance??? Mystery cover guy??? I've been hyped about him since the author dropped hints about him in the extras. Idk if I want him to fucking suck and be a villain, or be a nice guy. I guess someone's gotta fill the quota since orange hair's out, but eeeeh I want to see something new
