It’s yaoi, here is the explaining:)
I see a lot of people questioning if this is a yaoi and why it had a yaoi tag... so let me start by saying that KS is tagged as #BL on lezhin (English site) which is probely the reason the uploader put the yaoi tag.
Second a lot of you forget that Yaoi is a genre that describe mangas which is about intim or erotic realationship between men. Not a fluffy and sweet realationship but a sexual one. If you want a manga which focus on the realationship go read shounen ai. But yaoi is a tag you put on stories which includes two guys fucking eachother. The word mean something like “without meaning” as in the story is usually focused on the smut,
To sum it up. Yaoi is = Sex between men. Yaoi isn’t = a loving relationship and fluff (it can be but is the smut that is in focus)
So yaoi is for sex, while shounen ai focus on the realationship.
And we can all agree that Bum and Sangwoo are pretty much in a intim realationship which make it a yaoi.
Yaoi isn’t only for sex. Yaoi can focus on a loving relationship and fluff
Yes it can, but you rarely see a yaoi where they dont fuck as the first thing. And if you read my comment you will see i Said (it can be but its the smut that is in the focus). The older yaoi are more realationship based, but i can come up with a lot of yaoi’s that have smut in fokus:)
“Yaoi, also known by the wasei-eigo construction boys' love and its abbreviation BL”.
“ Yaoi is used to describe titles that contain sex scenes and other sexually explicit themes
Shounen-ai is used to describe titles that focus more on romance and do not include explicit sexual content”
I kind of don’t know where you got your definition of Yaoi from.
Also that wasn’t a intimate relationship Sangwoo was manipulating and using Yoonbom. Also yoonbum had Stockholm syndrome if you don’t know the definition it’s
“Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response. It occurs when hostages or abuse victims bond with their captors or abusers.”
They both had mental illness’s and Sangwoo never loved yoonbum let along cared. They both probably became attached because of the footing they had. I’m pretty sure sangwoo saw his mom in yoonbum a couple of times.
It was also confirmed by the author that it’s not yaoi, first thing on google it’ll say no. We can’t be misleading people because it’s psychological horror.
Well yaoi is put on stories that contain sex scenes, (also if you read other yaoi’s you will often see that the fist interaktion they have are them fucking). I dont belive Bum has SS but thats only my opinion, but he did say he loved Sangwoo before. The author also confirmed Sangwoo loved Bum. If you want to diskussion this go read my other topic i wrote about them. Here: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/11535093/
Bum does have it though, he was kidnapped and grew a one sided connection through a manipulative relationship. Also where did the author say they loved each other? We all do have opinions and I’ll go read what you typed. I’m not too good at explaining this story myself but these people explained what happened well

In the Q&A author got a question asking if Sangwoo loved Bum. She answered that you should go read the last chapter and you would know.
