Childhood Friend Complex
Sokkupchingu Complex | 소꿉친구 컴플렉스
Ha-Neul and Mincheol have been childhood friends for all of their lives, but their relationship takes on a whole new dynamic when they undergo a series of unexpected events. Although they vowed that they’d never be romantically attracted to each other, they just might be proven wrong… especially when things start to escalate and neither can predict where they’ll end up.

12 chapters in and it seems cute so far, but there’s a netorare tag 👀
I don’t know wtf is about to go down but hopefully everything works out in the end.
oh you abt to go on a ride dawg
I searched here and there about it and it says there is no ntr related plot and I hope it stays like that 🙃
I was really interested on reading this manhwa but it’s totally censored like no boobs and white censored dick are shown totally disappointed.
bro…you really got many hates…
BRO THAT CLIFFHANGER AT 55 😭😭😭 I HATE YOUUUUUUUUU(LOVE YA KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING)
LFG!!
“WOOF WOOF, FUCK”
I LOVE IT!!! ITS NOT PURE P**N. IT HAS A PLOT AND THE PLOT KS FUCKING AMAZINGGGG!!
yeah cuz i think this is on webtoon too
Super cute story! Loving it so far!
i like this RomCom.. i am enjoying the story so far though I was expecting a more twist, suspense & drama like it could be more thrilling if sunbae kim jae hee was given a moment to interfere in the love story. Say during the downfall of haneul from kim mincheaol’s rejection, it’s better if kim jae hee comforted her & develop more feelings for her then kim mincheaol would know & be jealous then might realize what he will be missing because of his mistake of rejecting haneul.
Also, may i suggest for their love scenes to be more sweet & romantic like let their bodies just do the talking, let them just do what their body and heart desires instead of talking too much. it’s destroying the essence of intimacy in the heat of the moment.
I agree fully bro
Mincheol is really lucky to have Haneul tbh. And jealousy makes a story better. adds that drama and pizaz.
Can’t wait for ep 61!!! hooked so badddd
OMG!!!! I love this so much!!! The story is adorable!!! Keep up the great work! I can’t wait to read more!!!💕
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THATS PERFECT!!
I won’t even get angry if she fucks another dude. Stupid ass Mincheol what a fucking idiot.
Bruh wtf chill with this shi don’t wish that
This story keeps you wanting for more — the plot, the graphics, the love scenes (but author, please let them explore their bodies more 🤤💦), and the thrill — I wonder how Mincheol would face it if Haneul would be snatched by – ehem, a second MC — just because of his unresolved trauma and far-fetched overthinking 😅😂
Perfect!
I hope that d*ckead Kim will suffer. Yeah we are not alone with trauma of hurting the one we love and when we realised we maked it up, tried to heal and not run away BUT this guy deserves nothing. She chased, he rejected twice.
I hope sunbae will make her happy.
The last panel is so cute 😭
Actually dog ass manhwa that just goes in circles the whole fucking time. He can’t make a move and she understand they’ve loved each other for decades but is entertaining other men to get back at him. They’re the most toxic lame ass relationship I’ve read in a long ass time. If you want to constantly get annoyed and see the Male MC mope and cry and watch his love interest torture him with flirtatious activity in front of him for who knows how long then read this shit.
Probably how you act trying to talk to girls smh.
I complain about a toxic relationship being toxic to women? If you’re implying I’m misogynistic then you could at least double down and explain your implication or just outright say that. Instead you’re trying to partially imply it. Sorry, but if all you can pull from what I’ve said is that I’m misogynistic and hateful to women then you’re either lying or rage baiting.
I’m not saying she’s totally at fault. I mean, to be honest it’s almost entirely on the male MC and his immature mopey attitude constantly destroying any real progress. It’s still frustrating to see her response be so immature but even more so to see his lacking response to her immaturity and disgusting reaction.
I’m sure it gets better but it’s really difficult to ignore the toxicity only getting worse in this weird ass relationship. It’s also weird to go straight to implying very disgusting things about my character because I don’t believe this toxic relationships on a novel is going the right direction.
bro calm down, ik it feels frustrating when you see how both of them are starting to lie to themselves, but let’s be real, if it were to be plain story, would anyone even bother reading it? The author is trying to make us ride emotionally on a Rollercoaster. Isnt that why we felt the urge to read it till end?
And you should also try to understand both sides. One is who has a deep regret and an overthinking brain, while the other one tried everything and still failed. And let’s be real, she still hopes for him even when there are many for her. Our boy just need the courage to confess his regrets and accept that its alright.
Also I don’t really liked when you said that she is entertaining others, she isn’t. Ask yourself fr, do you want to see her all depressed and ruin her life just because he rejected her? She never thought to do anything funny too, she is just living and waiting for him. Isn’t that true love? Honestly I want you to take back and actually respect her. Respect our boy too, but this is what it is.
Also let’s just hope it is not ntr, if it came to be that, I’m gonna kill the author. Or…just drop this manhwa with the worst rating ever.
For the story writing, it was quite a ride wasn’t it? Haha I hole good for its ending
She was literally doing it to piss him off. It’s immature and gross. It’s also incredibly toxic… Which was my whole point. They’ve both got incredible trauma but it doesn’t excuse their actions. They’re actively destroying each others mental state and adding to their trauma with these actions. It’s pretty clear she doesn’t intend to get with anyone but him. However, that doesn’t make the action excusable. It just makes it worse. His reaction to all of it just made the entire situation that much worse.
You’re argument is to ask myself if she really was interested in other men. That was never once a concern. It’s the action itself that makes this read toxic. The intent behind it was self evident as well. It was entertaining others at the time in a way solely to make him regret his actions. Which is toxic as hell.
I also don’t think she should be depressed or linger on her heartbreak. It’s the exact opposite. She should just move on and so should he. They’re literally each others worst pair at this point. Its obviously not that simple but I just don’t want her to drag him and inadvertently herself through emotional turmoil with actions clearly intended to do exactly that then mope and wonder how they can fix it. It’s so fucking backwards and toxic.
Also, if you want an apology from me forming an opinion on a very very toxic and ridiculous relationship then you can shove it. You’re asking me to respect these characters when they have no respect for each other.
The last part came off a little stronger then I intended. I absolutely don’t agree with your opinion on these characters. This is hardly true love in any regards and her intent at the time was clear. Once again, I don’t believe that makes her evil or abhorrent. It’s just immature and gross. However, like I said before he’s not any better. Seeing as he literally SLEPT with her then DENIED her feelings! Which is even worse than her emotional gaslighting was.
Regardless, I hope this story does ends well for your sake. If you make it to the end then I hope it’s worth it. I just don’t have faith in these characters nor the author. Happy future reading to you!
And I absolutely disagree with your opinion entirely. Have you perhaps by any chance heard of the word “growth” And human vulnerability to emotions. Yes they slept together in the heat of lust sleeping together doesn’t mean everything is fixed you’ve overcom yourself it’s just a temporary feeling of ecstasy. We all know how they both had feelings for each other since childhood and have realized now. He denied his own feelings to himself first as he said he isn’t ready to move forward to take the responsibility for their future because of his past he thinks he is gonna ruin everything.. Being abandoned by her is his biggest fear which we will come to see fading away slowly as the story progress. And she’s just someone who goes for what they want there’s no need to over think when you know each other feelings even so I think they are healing each other.. As for love as everybody is different and have distinct perspectives their ways of loving is different too. There’s no standards for love by which you can impose judgment on characters. Everybody embodies different personalities as well dissimilar ways of showing how much they care, love and want them. Mincheol has to overcome himself he is a man drowned in the ghosts of his past afraid to move forward because he is stuck there he simply thinks he’s unworthy ” Where as she thinks that having a physical relationship makes them closer when that man has shut himself from the inside completely he doesn’t need to change he needs to evolve and I say only she can help him because she is the only person who can maybe barely pursue him away from his mind. The author is clearing disclosing how past trauma shapes a person into a shallow pit of loneliness and unworthiness and how such a person can ever overcome it. Giving them titles like toxic, continuously calling the characters and story disgusting doesn’t justify what they are representing. You missed the entire point because you were too busy pointing out the minor defaults of human behaviors and mentalities. The underlying message behind the characters is far more important then their surface level actions. What triggered them he rejects her despite liking her? She got rejected twice but refused to give up? I want you to answer because it’s very simple
(She didn’t give up because she believes in the relationship they had words don’t change realities. She thinks if she goes relentlessly maybe she can reach him. That’s being honest to herself and a true form of care/ he rejected her despite liking her. Because his feelings are irrelevant to him he doesn’t think of himself he is thinking of her how he is not worthy of her not ready for the responsibility you know the phrase “he thinks she deserves far better then him.” Stability doesn’t magically appear it’s built slowly with time and efforts. They are in the midst of wars in their heads with zero clarity and stability to speak of. Because they are simply still growing? You can’t expect them to be mature without experience at all? Have they loved before? No… But the only experience they have is the despair of the past and nothing can make it go away you just have to move on from it and learn you can’t reduce the significance of humans emotions to such titles of “toxicity and ” Disgusting.
