It's likely that it won't even come to Seungho having to decide whether he'll share Nakyum with his fuck buddies, because it looks like DJ might attack and hurt NK and Seungho will flip a lid, protecting NK and beating DJ.
Someone on my dash asked what would make me drop #PainterOfTheNight: if SH became a perfect lover overnight. When I started to read the manhwa last summer, I knew what I was getting myself into: a dark historical romance with many shades of grey and a damaged main character
Seungho used to have sex because he enjoyed it now he does it only to prove to himself that he isn't in love. He's so lost and confused that even Min manages to manipulate him. Whereas, previously, SH would tell him to fuck off, now he feels the need to prove him wrong.
This is Seungho in his peek self-destructive mode because that's been his M.O. reaction to pain and fear. He's been like this his whole life because of some trauma with his family. NK made it better, but now SH is replasing because he's fallen in love and it makes him afraid.
Let's face it, it was only a matter of time before Seungho fucked up again. It wasn't about if but rather when. Those 20+ years of of his upbringing from hell and life of entitlement have done a number on him which will take time to overcome otherwise it'd be unrealistic.
@JustLoveBL Awww. I feel you! It's so nice to find someone who thinks about LS the same way I do. What I really love about DY is that even though he looks so much like an alpha and doesn't physically resemble his mom, when he is sweet and soft with Taehan, he is exactly like his mum.
Losing Seungho’s touch and attention might put things into perspective for Nakyum and help him realize that he misses his lover, and not only having sex with him but everything about him.
The reason why SH isn't seeking other men is because the last time he did, it sucked. He was bored, unsatisfied, always thinking about NK and spending a sleepless night full of frustration. He's already learned that lesson: that without NK, it's feels pointless.
DJ is an unrelable narrator who holds a grudge against Seungho and Nakyum. He is blinded by his hatred for both of them. Furthermore, he is a servant with a limited access to the inner chambers so his observations are taken from afar and thus, very flawed.
OK, you win, I ship this now. I mean the potential this has is unreal. Welcome, my secondary #PainterOfTheNight OTP!
