Painful but Desirable — Chapter 36

Oof, Painful, but Desirable Chapter 36 certainly tugged at everyone's heartstrings! Readers are collectively reaching out to give Do Yun a massive virtual hug 🫂 after this emotionally heavy chapter.

It's clear that his deep-seated family issues and past traumas have led him to prefer isolation, believing it's safer to bear pain alone than risk hurting anyone or being vulnerable. Many readers strongly resonated with his feelings, admitting they too sometimes prefer to be closed off when down. 💔

While Hayeon is getting props for not giving up on him, the best friend, Sungjun, is surprisingly stirring up some controversy! Despite his good intentions, many feel his advice pushed Do Yun further into his shell, creating "unnecessary drama" just when things were warming up. 🤦‍♀️

The "what if" scenario, where Do Yun overthinks his own contract relationship, had readers shaking their heads, urging him to "let yourself be loved!" Everyone's anxiously waiting for him to finally break down those walls and embrace the affection he clearly needs. This chapter definitely leans into the "painful" part of the title! 🥰
