I Wonder When Cale Will Have The Conversation With Ron And Beacrox About His Life As KRS. There’s Always

not even just that, i'm in the 400ish chapters and han yoojin deadass tripped bc the building was shaking while checking on song tae won who was taking a bath?? butt naked??? and bro deadass gets up from the tub??? butt naked??? to steady him???? and proceeds to use his body to shield him from the shaking building???? this was described as 'almost as if in a hug' btw??????

It probably sounds like a joke or an exaggeration when fans of The S-classes that I Raised talk about how homoerotic this non BL novel is, but reading this book is wild sometimes. Yeah the main character can't go more than like two chapters without emphasizing how hot the men in his life are, but also some of these characters will have the most intense yandere thoughts about about him. The guy who the main character considers the peak of male perfection deadass thinks to himself "Even if Han Yoojin were collapsed completely, the process of pulling him together and setting him back on his feet would certainly be enjoyable" like he's the black bellied CEO male lead of an imprisonment manhwa

CALE HENITUSE *SCREAMS* Available on my shop

crying screaming throating up-

I am so insane about this actually.

Of course ron cares for og!cale and the current cale, and cale cares for ron because that just who he is, but rereading while having @azroazizah 's 'cale is a depressed bastard' post I kind of been taking a deep dive on angst and questioning all of cale's throwaway comments, like on the earlier chapters when he was so convinced that

"They will definitely forget about [him]" (212)

yes it makes for great misunderstandings (which I live for), but at the same time I can't but think that he really does believe those kind of statements, and that his actions betray a certain self abandonment that aligns well with her theory

so we kind of know that ron cares for cale and cale cares for ron, but did cale think that he cares for him beyond just a servant-young master relationship, at least at the beginning, even though he read about og!ron's moment's abandonment of og!cale, knowing that he is not even the same person ron cared for like a decade.. erm

I think the lemonade can be another misunderstanding plot too, thinking on cale's maybe real fear of the /power/ of the people around him (not /of/ them specifically, just the fact that they're wayy stronger than he is in general) and not great perception of his personal value to the people around him

it's not far off to say that he really rather not drink that lemonade, but as with most things he does, he feels as though he has to

A new understanding of cale’s character

cale henituse is a depressed bastard (we kind of been knew) am currently rereading the novel, so this time I noticed a tea symbolism, where the after the first time ron gave cale lemon tea and he drank it life's kind been giving cale lemons ever since. so of course it got me thinking more about the relationship between cale and ron and find that it would be interesting to study.

what kim rok soo observed of the relationship between og!cale and him was that ron didn’t have any particular like for cale, so could he as cale also operate under that or..?

did I say I literally love the misunderstandings of the novel with all my life??

Alternative version of og cale and og choi han's first meeting

We've been blessed with so many good Raon expressions these last couple chapters.

Bonus:

Always thought of the idea that Cale, despite being oblivious to everything else, is actually extremely aware of his surroundings all the time.

And maybe this was discovered by the kids when they found out that he wouldn't get jump-scared no matter what they did (he tried to act scared for them but his stoic face couldn't quite convince anyone).

And everyone around him thinking how it must be some sort of trauma response to staying in the front lines of every battle ever.

(They aren't exactly wrong about the trauma part)

A subconscious habit developed as Kim Rok Soo, just another means to live another day.

But now, he lets himself space out for longer durations. Not observing his surroundings like a hawk and just, well, breathing.

And when he does blank out, he ends up flinching at almost every sound ever.

And that led to the belief that their vigilant Commander carries such a burden on his shoulders that he sometimes doesn't even notice his own family walking upto him (who are mostly trained individuals, or a traumatised high schooler, or two kittens–who all had to learn to walk stealthily just to survive, much like he once did).

Ironically, he always gets scared whenever Ron enters, even more so when he's already aware of the butler's presence.

The old man sometimes deliberately makes no noise when entering, just to see Cale flinching so hard and then acting nonchalant afterwards.

But Cale doesn't dislike it. Simply blanking out amidst this comforting safety that he had always wished for. With his family always beside him.

I'll only be able to accept it if Fake Hilsman turns out to be Jour's brother and the would-have-been father of KRS if he hadn't been pushed out by the White Star from his original body because that's the only way it would make sense that he managed to loot Cale the looter Henituse.
