Yes true..same feelings here. It feels like Tom stayed with Jaemin just coz Jaemin stuck at him. But what if someone seduces Tom, so he'll just let it be coz someone tempted him or assaulted him? I mean he's also a man for Pete's sake! He could fight with all his might just to prevent that someone to assault him.
I'm writing this in lieu of something that happened in real life on someone. And it's really fucking pissing me off having people have this victim mindset not even knowing how to stand firm.
Yeah, I couldn't understand whether he liked haejoon(I think no, feels pity?), or just liked the idea of sleeping with someone other than his bf, it could be anyone, or if he just didn't love his bf enough. Coz he literally decided he was never going to tell Jaemin about the fact that not only did he get kissed (harrassed?) but ALSO KISSED BACK. Plus he looks swayed by the way haejoon occupied his mind and that changes once unfortunate incidents takes place but what if it hadn't? We'll never know, no one can blame him for getting assaulted but that doesn't mean it takes away all his faults and accountability that he holds towards his bf about why he got swayed and kisses someone else, why he thought about being intimate with someone else. If you partner was doing that to you and you got to know about it somehow, would you not feel atleast emotionally cheated, although if they kissed someone back and let someone who they could push aside touch them behind my back I'd feel physically cheated too but I'm ready to put it aside for a second coz the emotional component definitely hurts much more and I can't put THAT aside. I'd never forget that till I die.
I normally don’t comment anything negative about these stories, because I know the author does put time and effort into them. And they are usually very proud of their work, and I’m happy that they like what they’re doing. (And we are reading these for free and low key illegally)
HOWEVER this is really one of the only stories I’ve had a hard time actually liking. The plot and story telling were juvenile, and nothing was actually resolved. They never actually talked about the issues they were having that even led up to the both of them feel bored or alone in their relationship. They essentially just decided things were going to be brushed under the rug, and moved on. Which is fine. That’s their business, but it doesn’t really make either of them likable as characters, and makes them both seem incredibly childish. They are both wildly selfish. Jaemin just seems to think that sex and physical affection can solve everything, where if he paid attention he would realize that Tom doesn’t see it that way, and doesn’t think that sex is the cure all. Tom really seems to take advantage of Jaemin’s “love.” He is just content with Jaemin “loving him more than he loves him.” Not to mention, the reason Jaemin gave Tom when he asked why he loved him was “because you want me to, so I do.” It really feels like they just don’t want to be alone, so that’s why they are together.
Nothing against the author, because again, I understand that a lot of time and hard work went into this, but it really just feels like the author is still very young, and might not actually have much life experience yet, much less experience in relationships, or the relationship experience that they do have is “highschool/ puppy love.” Because, that’s honestly what this whole thing felt like; a high schooler writing a story about what they think love might maybe should possibly be.
