Synopsis
Six years, that's how long Wun has loved Yenn, his best friend's older brother. Three years ago, a timid person like him was brave enough to confess his feelings—only to be rejected. While his heart shattered into pieces, the attractive, alluring Yenn revealed he would be open to a casual relationship. Naïve and hopeful, Wun agreed, clinging to whatever he could—until he realized that the love he wants cannot be obtained by utilizing the desire Yenn has for his body. And thus, their empty relationship ended like it never happened. Heartbroken, for the next two years, Wun tried to stay away from his unrequited love, resolved to not give away his body so easily again.
Lately, his resolution is weakening . . .
Convinced by his best friend to go take care of Yenn who recently suffered a broken wrist, Wun didn't expect it to be a daily thing that would turn nightly. Truly, he's doing this favor for his best friend, out of pity and for pity only, not anything else—at least that's what he tells himself.
With the handsome, sly, teasing man he loves so close—close as in their breaths are bouncing off each other's faces—how is he going to stay strong and not fall back into the same routine? What has to happen for the man he loves to finally love him back? Will there ever be a day? Or is he just deceiving himself again?
'I Live Timid I Love Bravely' is a sweet and sensual Thai BL, M/M romance novel about a timid person loving someone he sees out of his league. Expect heavy steam, fierce kinky moments, and overly sweet interactions as two love fools find their way to be together.
What I Think
I couldn't put this book down because I just had to find out if Wunsook, the sweet main character, ended up finding the love he truly deserves. My feelings towards the main love interest, Phi Yenn, were a bit complex since it seemed like he kept exploiting Wun, and there were some questionable consent issues. This is just my second Thai BL novel, but I've seen some Thai BL dramas, and the vibes were quite similar. The good news is, there's a happy ending and some redemption, but be prepared for some emotional turmoil along the way! Also, it's packed with spicy scenes, so if that's not your thing, you might want to pass on this one!
