June ’25 BL Manhwa of the Month: Save the Dae by Wageul

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-iiukh-18d8b3c

Welcome back to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club!

In this episode, we’re diving into June’s Manhwa of the Month: Save the Dae by Wageul! This BL manhwa follows two super-seniors in high school (both legal adults) who get off on the wrong foot—but end up living together after realizing they don’t really have anyone else. One wants something more than just physical comfort, while the other keeps his distance and acts like nothing matters. But over time, their uneasy arrangement turns into something more real—especially when the one who’s always been guarded starts showing up as a quiet protector.

With themes of found family, emotional survival, and the messiness of real connection, Save the Dae blends tension and tenderness in equal measure. Tune in for a spoiler-free intro to the characters and setup, then stick around for a spoiler-filled chat about key scenes, character growth, and this month’s delusional boyfriend!
