Sangwoo wakes from a rather unpleasant dream and finds Bum sucking him off (Side note: donāt have sex with unconscious people).Ā
Bum is taking an active role, while Sangwoo is in a passive role. This dynamic that Bum has put them into angers him, and he grabs Bum off the floor andĀ onto the table, reestablishing him in the dominant positionĀ and Bum in the submissive position.
Bum is either too drunk or too horney realize how ticked Sangwoo is. And Bum, just going with the flow, stares moaning out āBabe.ā This is clearly triggering for Sangwoo, and so he finds the most practical why to shut Bum up: shoving a corncob in his mouth.
Bum, whoās not type to judge you on your cornkink, continues to go with the flow and decides heās gonna ride that dick, because yolo.
However, doing so, reverts Sangwoo back into a more submissive position.
Sangwoo starts to panic.
His mind, responding to the distress, reverts to old tacts that kept him safe/alive in the past, which is appeasing the āattackerā. He asks if the other feels good (assessing the otherās state, while mimicking positive engagement), and states that he feels good too (assuring the other that everything is okay, that thereās no reason for violent escalation). At the same time heās demanding to see Bumās face, to help ground him in reality, that right now heās with Bum.
But he slips up.
Now a couple small predictions for the next chapter, Sangwoo doesnāt want to disclose what his mother did to him, and so if Sangwoo is going to tell Bum, heās needs a really good reason too.Ā Bum, I doubt would judge Sangwoo for what happened to him, if Sangwoo does tell him the truth. However, in the last two chapterās Bum has stressed that he wants to feel like they are in a real relationship, that he is loved, and that this love is genuine. But Sangwoo wasnāt thinking about him while they were having sex.
When Sangwoo brought Bum up from the basement, he told him three important things:
1. Bum reminded him of his mom
2. That he loved his mom
3. And he asked if Bum wanted to be the mom
If Bum convinces himself that Sangwoo is just projecting his mother on him, that Sangwoo doesnāt actually love him, it will break his heart.
Sangwooās mom didnāt succeed in killing āthe ratā (= Sangwoo) physically (= rat poison), so she proceeds to kill him mentally by sexually abusing him.
I found some ks fanart and not literally interest to read it, but I gave it a try and DAMMIT, cAnāT STapH , WonāT stAPh.
I kept seeing it on my dash but I wasnāt planning to read it bc it looked like your random cringey rape/abuse condoning BL ā¦ But my friend insisted to try it because she thought Iād like it ā¦ Well, she was right xD
The first post I saw about it on tumblr looked like this:Ā
I thought it was gonna be some guro shit about murdering twinks.Ā
I literally accidentally came upon it when I was trying to find a different horror comic. I read the first chapter and wentĀ āokay not what I was trying to find but I like itā and so now I am stuck.
So, I was skimming through Season 3, and it occurred to me you could throw out most of it and nothing of value would be lost. Just start out with Sangwoo being nice to Bum, maybe one or two chapters at a fuck hotel, then in chapter 3 kill the uncle and go from there. Get straight to the creepy mom backstory, because Iām pretty sure thatās the whole point of this arc.Ā
Iāve been thinking about this a lot.
I remember the editor describing the season as āmaddeningā, which makes sense if they were referring to the pacing (k, sorry that was mean).
Koogi said once in an interview that Killing stalking would be either 3 of 4 seasons long, and I wonder if her editor had persuaded her into doing the latter. Then when creating the 3rd arc, there wasnāt really enough content to create ~20 chapter, so certain scenes were stretched out and filler events were added in. Also with shorter chapters, thereās less room for multiple major events to fit into the same chapter, so theyāre spread out over the weeks.
lDK, I feel like Iāve been waiting this entire season for things to ramp up, and when it finally does, the chapter ends. Like thereās some really good content this season (like when they went drinking and almost crashed into a truck), but every time I purchase a chapter, I question if Iām better off just looking at spoilers on tumblr.
I was one of the persons the editor told ānext season will be madā so it really hurts lol
As you said, the seasons has very good moments ( for example I really liked the uncleās death, because it focused more on Bumās reaction than in the murder itself) but all in all, nothing really relevant happened. At least, it seemed the uncleās death could have been a game-changer for the plot ( we have seen a lot of character development in Bum) but then in chapter 51 they were back to Sangbum fluff as if 18 chapters never existed.
And even the flashback of Sangwooās past are mostly pointless. Differently from Bumās flashbacks that changed in a relevant way the plot or their relationship – chapter 19 is the cause of Jieunās death while the ones with the Uncle is season 2 were the catalyst of one of the most powerful chapter in the series – Sangwooās backstory didnāt add anything, especially because we have already known most of the information since the beginning ( Sangwooās abusive childhood, her mom was crazy, his trust issues) or we had figured in season 1 that his mommy issues were the reason he targeted girls with a beauty mark . Actually weāre even more confused because after two chapters and a half we still donāt know if the father was a 100% good man or a wolf in sheep clothes, or simple but important details as where the fuck is the small table that led to one the first bonding scene between Sangwoo and Bum.
Plus,
itās not that the past is suddenly influencing Sangwooās actions now, and Bum doesnāt know anything about it.
I still love KS like the first day but this season has been a huge filler, I canāt wait for season 4 at this point
Yeah, thereās definitely been some great moments, but the unbearable tension from the first two seasons is gone. And I feel like the mom flashbacks would work better if Bum knew about them. Sangwoo was so chatty about his mom when Bum poisoned him, how come he doesnāt talk about it now?
This oneā¦ hit way too close to home. Iām gonna try and find some way to express my reaction and analysisā¦
But I need to warn you. Iām probably going to overshare here. This chapter was like a gut punch. It confirmed my worst fears and brought up a lot of feelings regarding my own personal childhood trauma, issues, PTSD, and continuing struggle toā¦ have some semblance of peace of mind.
Soā¦ let me start by explaining why the previous glimpses of Sangwooās mom sent a chill through me. Women are capable of being abusive too.
It wasnāt really understandable to me what was wrong with my own mother until I was in my late 20s. Not that long ago. Itās only recently that I gained some knowledge and perspective that leads me to understand that my mother struggled with mental health problems that could have (and should have) been diagnosed earlier (but werenāt) along with her own childhood trauma and issues.
My momās mother (my grandmother) is an abusive and manipulative person. She is emotionally and verbally abusive and she was physically abusive.
My mom married my dad in her 20s and had me and my younger sister. Then she had aā¦ delusional break with reality when I was 7 years old and my sister was 3. When putting us to bed, she suddenly dragged both my sister and I to the car (unbeknownst to my dad in the other room) and drove off screaming and crying with me and my sister screaming and crying in the backseat. (I have PTSD flashbacks and start crying uncontrollably now when I feel a little rushed from home at night. Even if itās to go on a planned family vacation.)
1. The Oh family is in the car on their way back from a family trip. And itās adorable. The dad is being a good dad with Sangwoo so far and heās the one that shares a resemblance with Sangwoo again. Either Koogi drastically changed how Sangwooās dad is drawn or the abusive dad is a different guy. A different ādadā. Remember: one unidentified male body was found at the house while Sangwooās dadās body was by all indications driven up to the mountains and buried by Sangwoo and his mom.
2. The mom is mentally somewhere else and slow to respond. Which has me scared. The dad gets her attention and is clearly making an effort to spend quality time with his family. āIāve been too busy to take care of you two,ā he says. Was this an early warning that he knows she needs looking after and canāt be trusted alone with Sangwoo? She agrees to another trip. The dad asks, āReally?ā He blushes in excitement. This guy is looking to her for consent to vacation plans, which reinforces my suspicions that this is not the same guy as the abuser. As busy as his job might make him, the dad makes clear to his coworker/boss (and us, the reader) that time with his family is his first priority, so his responses to work-related stuff might be delayed.
3. The mom goes upstairs into Sangwooās room and closes the door behind her. Oh god. What sheās about to do is premeditated. She tries to smother Sangwoo to death with a pillow. Ugh. So, itās not just abuse, but attempted murder. WHY, EUNSEO, WHY? āLooks like we wonāt get to go on another trip again.ā REALLY? Ugh! And the dad finally discovers whatās going on and stops her. But how long was Sangwoo oxygen deprived? This and the trauma of his mom trying to kill him definitely contributed to Sangwooās emotional issues. He scratched her trying to get her to stop, so he was definitely aware enough to know what just happened. She begs forgiveness and says she is āreally sick right now.ā
This hurts. We know based on previous chapters (and the rest of this one) that Sangwooās momās mental health is a continuing problem. Which is sadly realistic. Sheās not just āreally sick right now.ā Sheās not going to stop being sick. Sheāll have some good days but sheāll also likely have more episodes. Her issues seem to go beyond possible post-partum depression. I was 7 when I first witnessed my mom have a full on delusion-filled break with reality and she has had multiple more episodes since. She drove us in the middle of the night to her old friend from schoolās house and fervently claimed that our dad was THE devil – not based on anything heād done or said and not just claiming he was bad but she believed he was Satan (for real) and forced us to pray frantically with her on the way there, with this friend, and later (once this clearly freaked out friend urged my mom to go to her parents house) with my grandparents. Including my grandmother who stoked this religious fervor. My mom claimed our reality of events wasnāt right and she was actually with some other guy. This was delusion. A recurring delusional fixation. This other guy didnāt know she existed. Unfortunately, even though my dad tried to figure out what was going on and work out whatever had gone wrong (at this point, people thought it was a relationship related breakdown), things devolved into a long and drawn out messy custody battle and divorce. So we went back and forth between my dadās place and my grandparents house, where my grandmother started physically abusing my baby sister. Which I told anyone who would listen about, including CPS (who did nothing) and my mom (who would brush it off and think more about how it would hurt her custody case) and my dad (who fought harder for custody, but the courts favor the mother even when she canāt provide a safe environment). Long story short, we ended up ferried back and forth every week (split custody) until my dad got me a car and after another incident of abuse, I packed my sister and I up and refused our ever again living in the same house with our grandmother. My mother has had several severe delusional episodes since which has led to brief institution stays, including a hysterical pregnancy (where itās psychosomatic and all in her head). Yeah. So, the whole family keeps an eye out now for any signs of āoffā behavior. Including some āmercy killingā talk which scared the fuck out of me.
This is why unreliable narrators scare me. My dad was the parent we were safest with. Delusions distort the perception of reality and mix everything up.
So things could be really distorted in Killing Stalking.
4. Things to note: The kitchen used to have a rug. Sangwooās mom is physically abusive (the murder attempt), negligent (doesnāt have any idea whether her son went to school or not), and emotionally manipulative and abusive. āDadāll get mad if he finds out Iām sick.ā Did she poison him? Is this a Munchhausen Syndrome thing? Or another murder attempt?
5. Sangwoo cringes when she says, āI love you.ā She said āI love youā to the guy sheās cheating with too. Now, every āI love youā Sangwoo hears is suspect. This is devastating. Not only does this emotionally cripple him, it hurts any potential relationships and trust he could have had with anyone else. Explains a lot. Cue the maladjusted psyche.
6. Oh god. Emotional manipulation. āYou believe your lying dad more than me.ā This hurts too. Iāve heard a variation of this. Itās pushing you to choose a parent. And the sad fact is – he shouldnāt believe her. She lies. Sheās mentally unstable. And she says, āCome down to the first floor at 12.ā Which,
THEORY: leads me to believe she and this guy sheās been cheating with are going to kill Sangwooās real dad (the one buried in the mountain), replace him with the new ādadā who will become abusive – the ādadā Sangwoo will eventually kill (the unidentified male body), and who knows what happens to her! Does she just leave? And consistently request āKilling Me Softlyā to be played on a certain radio station at a certain time?
So, this chapter showed that Bumās delusions/hallucinations (or fantasy/daydream) sometimes appear clearer than the other panels.
Bum starts off in the doorway, Sangwoo across the room.
Now, Bum is close enough that he simply reached his hand out and is able to touch Sangwoo. The white overlay isnāt as prominent in the next three panels.
Sangwoo suddenly speaks and Bum looks surprised and confused and noticeā¦
Heās still in the doorway. Exactly where he was before.
I have to go back and check other chapters but it looks like before we see something only happening in Bumās mind the panels showing what actually is happening get more hazy.
So bum actually didnāt stroke sangwooās hair and sangwoo didnāt lean to his touch like how cats do?
Iām sad now
so about the kink that sangwoo likes his hair being pulled during bang bang is falseā¦
Me: please koogi make my wish come true and show me bum stuffing himself with food
Koogi:
Me: umā¦ thanks
Like this scene is odd in a koogi way, but I honestly think heās eating that way to try to show that he hasnāt eaten in a while at all and has just been hiding upstairs to the point that he is desperately shoving it into his face almost like an animal and is pretty much eating it off the floor. I think it was her way of trying to show its beenĀ couple of days since Sangwoo left and also further hinted at with him saying it must be bad.
I know some people sayĀ āstop complaining about Seungbae chapters after we havenāt seen him in such a long time!ā and so on, but geez, I wanna go back to theories and plot progression. Thereās plot progression in the sense of Seungbaeās character development which will indeed lead to plot progression, okay, but we had all already predicted something like this and it feels like itās dragging a little too much to get to the point.Ā Last chapter felt a bit filler-y and repetetive in some parts, if you ask me.
Iām not saying it didnāt happen at all with Sangwoo and Bum this season, but it gets old even more easily when itās only one main character (one that doesnāt even feel as much āmainā as the other two due to narrative choices) with little interactions with other relevant characters for two solid chapters (I hope not three).Ā I think chapters 47-48 could have been merged into one slightly longer chapter without much trouble ā¦Ā
Sorry for using your ask as a chance to let this out, I hope you donāt mind! Ā
Same
For some reason I can handle a boring chapter with bum or sangwoo or both but not with āonlyāseungbae š¤Ø
I donāt mind Seungbae but I can only have so much of him at once. His story is getting interesting I think but I also I guess just overall prefer Sangwoo and Bum chapters.Ā
Is Seungbae no longer looking for justice and rather revenge ?..
For one the Seungbae we know was always concerned with bringing bad people to justice, so much he would hurt suspects due to his hunches. Which is why he was demoted to that shitty department in the first place, he enforced police brutality on a suspect.
After Seungbaeās last encounter with Sangwoo heās was so sure Sangwoo would be arrested. The whole time his mentality was yes, heās going to jail, that murder will pay for his crimesā¦ā¦ well that shit didnāt go down as planned.
So for the whole time after he was fired I thought for sure Bae was probably regrouping, or tracking Sangwoo on the downlow.
NOPE!
Turns out heās been a mess, spiraling to the dark side. Heās even acting like Sangwoo.
Seungbae dreams back to when his father was killed by their asshole neighbor. No longer wishing to send this mail to jail; but rather to kill him to prevent his fatherās murder.
*Gasp!* Seungbae! D: This some shit Sangwoo would do reducing people trying to help you as bitch or idiot. I know this woman is not some āsales womanā sheās related to Seungbae in some way. No woman trying to sell something would waist money on food everyday for a person they want to sell to. Seungbae was awfully scared of Lee talking to her, so she has some role in his life but is keeping it hidden.
Heās hasnāt been eating. He throws away food given to him by this unknown woman. He throws it away either thinking itās poisoned, or he really doesnāt want to eat. He says the woman gives him canned food that hasnāt been opened to prove itās not poisoned?ā¦ yet he still throws it away?ā¦
He canāt let go of Sangwoo and how that day went down. So everyday he thinks of Sangwoo no longer wanting to catch him, but to kill him.
Heās even scared of how sure he wants to kill Sangwoo. He used to believe in justice but when a serial killer just walks right out the station why trust the police to do anything about it when you could dispose of the evil ones yourselfā¦.. this is not good thought territory to be in! D:
He straight up reduced his relationship with his higher up officer Kwak as āI was just his fill in for his dead sonā āhe sees every young man as his dead sonāā¦.. What. The. Fuuuuuck?! This is like how Sangwoo talks about people I can not eVeN rIgHt NOW! Heās like a whole new person and the last panels have me shook. He I donāt know where for no reason pushes Lee and threatens him very ominously to leaveā¦.
So in conclusionā¦ Seungbae is in a dark place right now and I feel heās just gonna go all āPunisherā and be a vigilante. Heās gonna try to kill Sangwoo š®
whatever. my love for seungwoo is still as hard as sangwooās dick and im still gonna continue my seungwoo art as if seungbae has killed someone before and they are still my favourite knife husbands š
me after koogi replied that statement:
itāsā¦ā¦. itās just a dreamā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..
sighā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..
whatever im going right to bed nowā¦ dont talk to me for 8 hoursā¦
thatās the thing. Seungbae THINKS he killed a man, and THINKS that he and Sangwoo are alike because heās going fucken crazy, but he really hasnāt. I thought it was obvious that it was a dreamā¦?
Yeah me too it was kinda obvious for me that it was a dream
But anyway, koogi is interacting more with her fans recently and she is so sweet šš
I sorta knew it was a dream or just made up in his head. But I still love it since it symbolizes his mental state.
after reading chapter 46 i got confused and curious of what kind of relationship the uncle had with bum and how actually the uncle felt about him
at first i thought bum was to the uncle the child of his ex-girlfriend and brother whom he hated a lot cuz both of them sort of betrayed him when they got together and now he have to take care of their child and since he sees him as the āproductā of his fatherās sins or whatever he put his anger for those past years on him and thats why he was always abusive to him.Ā
and because bum (physically) looks a lot like his mom he begun imagining having sex with her by raping him.
so I thought bum was just a person who he hated but is forced to take care of and was taking advantages of that by raping himĀ
but he actually wasĀ kind to him or wanted to be kind to him at some pointsā¦
what does this mean? does he sometimes sees him as a son? and he switches between being kind and cruel depending on his mood like sangwoo?
but he says stuff to him likeā¦.
he says stuff that lovers or ex-lovers would usually say to each other. so I assume he somehow is exchanging bumās mom with bum not just sexually butĀ completely cuz he couldnāt forget about her. he wants to believe that eunjoo (bum) wants to be with him and doesnāt want to left him for someone elseā¦ and he also wants to believe that bum was enjoying it when he forces himself on him cuz he actually wants him in that way too (or that what rapests do to justify them selfs)Ā Ā
so when he thought bum was being with someone else now and is actuallyĀ rebellious to him he said these stuffā¦
i think bum was an important person in the uncleās life and thats why he came all the way to sangwooās house ( that doesnāt mean he liked him or cared about him) he needed him to fill in the gab thatĀ eunjoo made when she left him and bum was the victim to all of this.
I just waned to share my thoughts and i would like to hear opinions about this topic
I rarely add my two cents into things but I feel the uncle was kinder to Bum whdn bum was younger because he didnt look like his mother quite yet. He didnt see his ex just a kid. It also is implied that the uncle didnt use to live with the grandma, but rather on his own. That is why he and Bum didnt see to know each other in the flashback, Bum was living with his grandma.
It seems the uncle moved in with them both later on, possibly after being laid off or demoted. It is implied his uncle is a drinker, possibly another reason he moved in. That likely alcoholism mixed with Bum being older likely triggered the start of the abuse an later sexual abuse towards Bum.
Is it just me or Bum lied to Sangwoo? When he was opening up about his self harm and telling him he grew up with his grandparents, he said āI live with my uncle nowā.
But he doesnāt?
When Sangwoo goes to Bumās apartment to collect a bunch of his stuff itās clear that he lives on his own, since he has stopped paying the rent and everything is messy (and there are his sex toys in the bathroom), so obviously no one else lives there.
It doesnāt make sense for the uncle to tell him āletās go homeā
Because they! Donāt! Live! Together!
Bum has his own (crappy and shabby) apartment!
This is just helping me to convince myself even more that he is hallucinating (read my previous theory where I talk about it if you want!)
Alright bye š
What has been said in the notes makes me wonder: what if his uncle blackmailed him and let him live alone in exchange of more abuse and rape? Bum doesnāt work so he wouldnāt have the money to pay all the monthly bills of his apartment ā¦ If thatās the case, it would also make sense for his uncle to ask him if he was selling his body to his ānew ownerā in exchange of living in Sangwooās house, since Bum must have not enough money of his own to live in complete independence.
I think what @koulej said was right since in this panel, it doesnāt look like their house when bum used to live when he was a child, this place look like Bumās shabby apartment where he lives alone, but his uncle repeatedly came there to rape him
just to fulfill his disgusting desire
and as an exchange for paying his university fees??Ā
his uncle might made him drunk since we can see some wain bottles in his room, it doesnāt make any sense that Bum bought the wain by his own will, since he told Sangwoo that he never drink, but his uncle made him. or maybe not, since he said his uncle made him drunk in HIS room, not his. But who knows?
True!! š® ^^^
About the getting drunk thing, maybe Bum just referred to the first time uncle made him drink alcohol, which might have happened in his room back when they were still living together. What we see in the panels you posted might have happened later when he was living alone and his uncle visited him with bad intentions to āmake him gain that moneyā. Maybe he brought some alcohol every time he visited.
Nastyā¦ Urgh. Now, I truly understand why you donāt ever want to see your uncle, Bum. š¦ Itās make me wonder, if his uncle want to rape Bum, why do he want to make bum living alone? I think itāll not cause any problem if he doing it at home and let bum keep living with his grandma?
Ā All the reason I can think of is, his grandma might asking him to send Bum to the college, but he make bum living separately with his grandma so he can do all the nasty things to bum, without his grandma ever know + for paying his university fees. two birds in one stone?Ā āoh do you want me to waste my money on your fucking college for filthy brat like you? Pay it with your body firstā
AND THATāS SO DISGUSTING!
Huh, for some reason I hadnāt considered that the uncle was paying for the apartment and Bumās college. But of course. How else would Bum pay for it? That implies it was a pretty regular thing.Ā
TheĀ āLetās Kill Your Uncleā plot went way better than expected ā uncle is dead, Bum is physically uninjured (emotionally fucked though), and Sangwoo left to cool off rather than take out his disappointment and frustration on Bum
Sangwoo continues to try so dang hard to connect/bond with Bum
anyone who doesnāt agree with the fact that Sangwoo killed Bumās uncle for Bum is, well, wrong
CH45 Bum tells Sangwoo how important it was that Sangwoo saved him from being sexually assaulted when they were in the military with this soft, fond, so in love expression on his face
CH46 Sangwoo waits until Bumās uncle makes a move on Bum to move in for the kill ā why was that? Because Bum literally just told him how important it was that Sangwoo saved him so Sangwoo decides to reenact the moment Bum fell for him (and thatās some solid Sangwoo logic for you)
Sangwoo killed Bumās uncle for Bum (and himself, of course, this is Sangwoo, and he wants to connect with Bum to such an extent that Bum will never, ever leave him. Ever.)
Bumās anger at his uncle ā YES
Bum kicking his uncle ā sublime
Bumās anger at Sangwoo ā holy shit yes and YES
Bum expressing his anger and Sangwoo just taking it? Wow. Thatās solid character development right there
Bumās memories of the good times he and his uncle had was such a great way to build more depth and to explain WHY Bum reacted angrily to Sangwoo rather than be happy to have his uncle killed
Up until this chapter we have only seen Bumās uncle as this abusive piece of shit, whether the memories of when Bumās uncle was kind to him are real or not (having two unreliable narrators is double the fun), it shows Bum being torn between his love for his uncle and his anger at what his uncle did to him (sounds familiar)Ā
Sangwoo being confused and disappointed by Bumās reaction and then leaving the house rather than taking his anger out on Bum continues this thread of Sangwoo Is Trying So Hard To Be Good For BumĀ
Bum hiding himself in the same cabinet Sangwoo used to hide in as a child is a great parallel and shows how the two of them are in this circular loop of madness ā the cracks are showing though, Bum is getting angry and Sangwoo is getting desperate
it cannot be emphasized enough how much I loved Bumās rage and how Sangwoo just took itĀ
Sangwoo neverjust takes it, but he did and it shows, again, that heās tryingĀ
(whether or not he restrains himself in CH47 ā I hope so, but, well, this is Oh Sangwoo and heās a spontaneous hunky garbage fire)
Also, plastic bag over Bumās uncleās head ā Sangwoo is tired of fixing up the kitchen floor and thought ahead on this one, keep it simple, keep it clean, what better way than a plastic bag and a hammer. Sangwoo logic strikes againĀ
Not even a day after their vacation and Sangwoo is already back on his bullshit with mind fucking Bum. It turns out Sangwoo was texting Bumās Uncle behind Bumās back. saying he wanted him back and maybe all kinds of lewd things, we donāt know itās Sangwoo after all.
I full on believe Sangwoo didnāt do this to āhelpā Bum he did it cause he a petty bitch. He left Bum to be caught off guard and scared of his uncleās return. He left him unable to respond when the Uncle claimed Bum has been texting him or to explain why heās living there. So when when Bum tries to break away his horrible Uncle beats and attempts to rape him. Only for Sangwoo to āsave himā at the last second. I strongly believe he was waiting his time before stepping in.
Then in that terrifying moment *boom* heās gone. That didnāt solve anything for Bum, heās still scarred from the experience, and past experiences with his uncle.
Sangwoo yet again planting his thoughts into Bum. He wants Bum to have his twisted views on killing people. Time and time again Bum is uncomfortable or scared and Sangwoo tries to make Bum think it was the right thing.
Bum only wanted to forget him, forget about the pain, abuse, and betrayal that came with the Uncle. Bum never got to heal properly, he never got to say what he truly felt towards his uncle. How he brought pain to him or anything it was just a *struggle* *fight* then *gone*
Bum breaking down realizing again this ārelationshipā is wrong. Heās not going to have happiness and stability with Sangwoo. Heās an abusive murder with mental problems. Who doesnāt fully love him.
Bumās anger is coming out who is plane out aware of Sangwoo and how dangerous he is. He even calls him crazy! Like he knows Sangwoo is capable of murder yet he shouts an insult at him. Sangwoo solved nothing for Bum. He figuratively opened up an old scar and left it up to bleed out.
I thought Bumās Uncle was always an abusive assholeā¦.. ITāS EVEN WORSE! He was actually kind and tried to connect with Bum when he was small. So many memories of him being kind to Bum only for him to betray him and abuse him when grew older. Itās a hard step to hate someone when good moments fog up your head.
Bum and Sangwoo do the same thing in fear they hide. Sangwoo hides from being caught for his bad actions. Bum hides in fear of being hurt.
The fact that Sangwoo had the nerve to call Bum dramatic after he committed yet ANOTHER reckless ass murder that NOBODY asked for in his own house, WITH CELL PHONE RECORDS, then wants to leave the body there just to go be a sulky bitch because his boyfriend didnāt praise him for killing one of his family members which could very easily get them both involved with the police AGAIN
Poor Bum, he truly thought Sangwoo would just change and enjoy his life together with him leaving his past behind ā¦ And he doesnāt even know about the woman he (almost?) killed during the skiing date.Ā
Welp. I think itās safe to say that Bum just snapped.
Yup. Yes, he did.
Well, I for one and very excited to see where this road takes KS now.Ā
I do find it interesting that Bumās blood and injuries turn green and how everything intensifies in texture, he completely snapped and is not in touch with reality at all.
Thatās fine. Iāve liked KS for a while and Iāve always been interested in horror content. Not sure how that makes me an inclusionist (which I do not feel you are using that definition right but then again tumblr makes up its definitions all the time) since I donāt support horror or find the content of killing stalkingĀ āromanticā or anything. Its screwed up and shows the dark side of abusive relationships. If you wish to unfollow and block me feel free to. I am not here to stop you. You donāt have to like the fiction that I like, and just because I like horror andĀ āproblematicā media doesnāt mean I support abuse in real life. That is two extremely different things. It is like saying someone who likes the Saw series must enjoy torturing people. No idea what you mean by the last line but again, Iām not stopping you from unfollowing. Fiction is fiction anon, theres a reason horror films are around and why you can kill people in video games- its not real.
Is anyone else unable to open the new Killing Stalking chapter? I just bought it and no matter what device I try I get theĀ ācomic cannot loadā error š¦
You know what scares me the most about Sangwoo? Itās that, seeing how good he is at faking and building a faƧade, if he has chosen his victim he WILL get her sooner or later. Heās very good at reading othersā character and go with it to manipulate them. He may not be your type but he can probably act like a completely different person and make you fall for it if he wants. It would be pretty hard to escape someone manipulative like him, no matter how smart you are or your taste in guys. Look at the two girls in last chapter, they were already dead, if only Sangwoo wanted.
This is so true. It makes me think that sooner than later weāll be able to see him in his beast mode again, since all this facade, playing the perfect man isĀ exhausting as fuck. In the end, you must take a break from faking it and let your ātrue selfā out, at least for a moment.
What am I thinking? Iām not thinking or planning anything.
So, I think this is more like,Ā āIām not thinking or planning anything right now,ā rather thanĀ āI never think or plan anything ever.ā
Makes sense. I also understood it that way like right now he just want to have a good time he doesnāt want to plan or think or do anything he just want to have fun
