Exposition and Gratitude

Now that the final chapter has unfolded, let's dive deeper into the story and its details.

I sense there might be lingering questions about the characters' behavior, the story's setting, plot twists, or perhaps some theories that have sparked curiosity. Allow me to provide you with a more detailed insight into these aspects, starting with the central character of our narrative-

Jeon Taehyung.

In the midst of the story, Taehyung's behavior stirred a range of reactions among readers. Some of you expressed dissatisfaction, finding certain aspects of his actions disappointing. It's crucial to recognize that Taehyung's character was deliberately crafted to go through a complicated change, showing the intricate side of psychological horror. His journey wasn't meant to follow typical expectations. Instead, it aimed to explore his inner struggles influenced by external forces, supernatural elements, and the challenges of becoming a parent.

As we delve into Taehyung's character, we uncover layers of vulnerability, jealousy, and the effects of psychological pressures like pregnancy and postpartum depression. These aspects together create a complex picture of his character, evoking both empathy and frustration in the readers. I wanted to make you feel a lot of different emotions when you read about Taehyung. Sometimes you might feel frustrated, and other times you might understand or feel sorry for him. This mix of feelings is on purpose.

• Why was Taehyung so friendly and touchy with Ju Ho when he claims to love Jungkook so much?

In the opening chapters, we see Taehyung feeling uneasy because Jungkook is leaving for a murder case in a remote place. The idea of being separated makes Taehyung anxious, and he really wants Jungkook's attention. To deal with this fear of being apart, Taehyung insists on going with Jungkook to Blackwood. This shows how much he doesn't want to be far from his husband and how desperate he is to stay close.

As the story unfolds in the isolated setting of Blackwood, we witness a gradual transformation in Taehyung's emotional landscape. His growing need for Jungkook becomes increasingly apparent, reaching a significant point in EP03 where he openly discusses with Dallia, the midwife, about his intimate desires with his husband

A pivotal moment arises in EP05 when, grappling with an emotional void, Taehyung takes the initiative to seduce Jungkook ( because somewhere along the way he was missing Jungkook's touches). This act, laden with complex emotions, suggest Taehyung's inner struggle to seek solace amid the unsettling surroundings of Blackwood.

In the aftermath of their intimate moment, Taehyung found a fleeting contentment, but the shadows of his emotional needs lingered. Pregnancy hormones heightened his yearning for Jungkook's attention and love, turning him into an unintentional seeker of affection solely from his husband.

However, a rift emerged when Jungkook, in a moment of frustration, raised his voice about leaving Taehee alone in the bathtub. Taehyung, taken aback by the unexpected scolding, felt a deep sense of sadness and hurt. This incident left a mark on their relationship.

Encountering Ju Ho for the second time- Taehyung, still wanting attention from Jungkook, felt a kind of comfort in the compliments and recognition he got from Ju Ho. These words were like the emotional connection he wanted from his husband. What's surprising is that instead of stopping Ju Ho, Taehyung let him keep giving attention. It brought a bit of emotional fulfillment, especially when Taehyung was alone whenever Jungkook left for work. This reaction shows how Taehyung deals with his need for connection and acknowledgment, even if it's from someone unexpected.

In the scenario where Jungkook witnessed the interaction between Taehyung and Ju Ho, and sensed a flirtatious vibe, Jungkook's possessiveness was triggered. Observing another man expressing interest in Taehyung ignited Jungkook's jealousy. Surprisingly, Taehyung found an unusual satisfaction in Jungkook's possessive reaction, interpreting it as a manifestation of his husband's deep connection and commitment.
