We also have illusion drawings. A famous example is the Muller-Lyer illusion. Their beauty and talent is a given. Extremely rare, even more than DA. They control completely their omega pheromones outside heat period. Here we see that love and amor are two sides of the same ambiguous object. This sculpture is an ambigram—an artwork or typographical design that can be read from two different viewpoints. Judith Bagai, editor of The Enigma, the official journal of the National Puzzlers' League, coined the term by contracting the words “ambiguous” and “anagram” (many ambigrams feature the same word seen from different directions).

It'd be nice to know more about why Hye-sung has spent his entire life hiding that he's actually really good at math, and I am morbidly curious about Dojin's stiffly awkward family. But I don't know that I'm curious enough about any of that to put up with more heat cycle rapiness. I really wanted some of the warmth and sweetness of the cover art, and this volume gave me none of that. Look at that cover. Don't they look like a sweet and loving couple? Ha ha. Banish that thought from your mind. Maybe they eventually turn into that, I don't know, but their relationship in this first volume is nothing but rape and resentment. Hye-sung and the BFF were honestly the most annoying parts for me. There is only so much Hye-sung’s “stupidity” could be used as an excuse for some of the frustrating choices he made through this book. The only likable characters here were Dojin’s family and sadly we don’t see them often enough to make reading this series enjoyable.Hye-sung spent his entire life believing he was an Alpha, the top of the genetic lottery. But his world is flipped upside down when he finds out he isn’t a proud Alpha, but a lowly Omega. After this revelation, he continuously crosses paths with Dojin, an Alpha who can’t stand Omegas. When their physical union results in a life-changing event, the two men's hot-and-cold relationship is put to the ultimate test Surprisingly Mature Ending: Hyesung doesn't forgive either of his parents. He completely shuts his dad out, and he decides to talk with his mom but decides not to forgive her in the end after hearing her out. They don't villainize the mom either, they try to paint her in a more morally grey light. Our parents aren't expected to be perfect role models, but we don't have to forgive them either. I like it. I'm reminded of Killing Stalking where people were upset about the non-consensual sex scenes among the multitude of morally wrong romance scenes in the manwha and heavily demonized people who enjoyed the medium. But I encourage people to recognize that not every piece of medium has to be wholesome and healthy to be enjoyable, and that many people can distinguish fiction from reality and would be the first people to intervene should they see a dynamic like that in real life.

In the beginning, I felt like there could actually happen an interesting “enemies” to lovers kind of narrative — given Park Dojin's newfound interest in Kim Hye-sung and the latter's refusal —, but… to put it simply: Park Dojin's feelings morphing into love are actually so abrupt it just feels like a switch was pulled. It's impossible to find out what got Park Dojin into loving Kim Hye-sung, and even he himself says that he doesn't know why he loves him (lmao). There is not a single romantic scene between them that feels like they have chemistry together. There's not even romantic scenes. //(Worst part is, the side couple have the exact same dynamic going on and it's torturous.)

Discussions

Dojin was a bit better at the end, but he was controlling, manipulative, rude protagonist who took advantage of someone in heat and then basically used their bad position in life to hold them there. Illusions are possible, in part, because of indirect realism(2). We can't experience the world directly. Instead, our brains take in a bunch of information through the senses and give us interpretations. Ambiguity is affected by our frame of mind. In the image on the left, Message of Love from the Dolphins, adult observers see two nude lovers embracing, whereas young children see only dolphins. If you still can't see the dolphins (we promise you they are there), look for more than two. In the image on the right, a Valentine's Day rose predicts the outcome of the evening's festivities.
