“우리 조금만 천천히 어른이 되자.”

학교에서 공부하던 영현은 더위에 맥을 못 추고 괴로워하다가 결국 조퇴한다. 그렇게 집으로 가던 중 골목에서 양아치로 유명한 대한과 마주치고, 그가 무서웠던 영현은 못 본 척 지나가려고 한다. 그런데 대한은 갑자기 영현의 이름을 부르며 멈춰 세우고 이것저것 캐묻더니, 다짜고짜 영현의 손목을 잡고 카페로 향한다. 임대한과 평소에 접점이 전혀 없던 영현은 그와 함께 있는 시간이 불편하기만 하고, 그가 자신에게 돈을 뜯으려 데려왔다는 생각에 돈을 내밀지만, 대한은 황당한 말을 하는데…?

“그럼 나랑 사귀자.”

임대한의 속셈은 무엇일까?

I loved it. I've been DNF-ing a lot of Korean books lately, but this one managed to pull me in and keep me hooked all the way through. The romance was sweet and well-paced, and as someone who loves a good tsundere male lead, this really hit the mark for me.

DNF - This is not a bad read - I simply couldn’t get into it.

I felt the dynamic between the leads was a bit squeamish. It has so much potential to become a favorite of mine, unfortunately it was wasted.

dnf - CHAP 48

surprisingly very smutty
but the lack of communication drives me insane - couldn't cope - both MC and ML were just fucking idiots

Very cute, awkward teenage romance. It’s so cute when they get flustered and all awkward with each other. Would just keep in mind that there’s sexual stuff happening between them.

Cute, the classic awkward teenage romance. The awkwardness and then just getting flustered even though they’re being bold lol.

This does have smut, near the end of this volume (this volume has 30 chapters), so I would keep that mind when reading it. I knew this would have smut, since it was one of the tags- I just didn’t think it would be so soon and actually written out? I thought it was be more censored, or censored completely. Honestly Idk how to feel about them being so young and reading smutty moments about them, it’s making me uncomfortable tbh 😭 but the story is pretty cute, so I do want to read it 😭 I’m just going to age them up.

i really wanted to like this, i was super excited to read this but unfortunately, this fell a little flat for me. i liked both of the characters and how awkward they both were. but i was expecting a slow burn and more exploration on why the ml was a bully but they start dating on chapter 24/88 and it seemed like the rest was mostly smut. its just not my thing. i love the gentle giant trope though! the ml was very cute.

•read twice for reviewing purposes•
Now that I read this volume twice I understand people who gave this book under 5 stars. This book right here was one of my first BL books thats why I rated this book 4.5 or even 5 stars at first.But when you look at this it’s not all that 💀Well? It started off with Lim Dae-han (ML), big strong ’bully’ dude actually being a shy sweetheart and Ki Young-hyun, an exemplary student who is awkward around people. Not that I hate cliché relationships!! Ki Young-hyun can come-of as annoying at times but other than that he seems ok? Dea-han is just Dae-han there isn’t that much I can say about 🤷‍♀️ If you want to read this book go ahead! But if you ask me there are many other books that are just better both plot and character wise 👍

So far the way they star their relationship is so cliche the serious student falls for the "bad guy"who turns out to be a sweetie.
