Except he WASN'T rejected. He decided he was rejected and refused to listen to what CS had to say. That's my issue with him. Not that the older, stable-seeming guy (that WE know as readers has jerk issues and is hiding stuff, that will likely cause real issues and pain later). I understand why he's with older guy. I don't understand why he decided he was rejected when CS clearly said he liked him adn then tried to explain the misunderstanding.
So much suffering because someone WILL NOT LISTEN, because they are sensitive about his happy home, even if in that home, Dad and son and mom were welcoming. It's not like they abused or rejected him. They included him. You'd think he'd want to run like mad toward that affection and inclusion.
Right now, this is really painful to read...especially since I see damage looming. Older guy is doing sneaky, nasty stuff..the signs are there. It will be painful yet again ARGH.
As much as I like CS, the main reason for their relationship is because Min Gyeom kept giving him blood/food. Rarely did they interact for reasons other than for MG to give him blood or for CS to give MG something to thank MG for the blood. Their relationship was very transactional - not because CS is a bad person, but b/c he is really like a baby. If we didn't know how CS felt as a reader, honestly I would be skeptical that CS wanted MG more than just for his blood based purely on his actions toward MG.
MG only became REALLY upset (and the "fate stuff "stopped) when CS's dad said that shit about the legend - reaffirming that MG's position with CS is to give blood. Yeah they were nice too him, but so was MG's dad when MG was giving his dad blood! Based on his past relationship with his father, how could MG trust them when they are in a sense acting like his father did during the blood-giving time?
I agree it's painful, but I like angst, but I think the actions of the 2 characters are pretty reasonable given both of their backstories...
Couldn't have put it better myself.
i agree (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

I feel like if you've ever been in a relationship before you can understand both Min Gyeom's and Chun Sam's side. Both of them are babies in terms of emotional maturity, and of course Min Gyeom would gravitate to the older, more mature and stable guy after being rejected. Puppyish Chun Sam doesn't have the maturity to take care of Min Gyeom right now, that's why Min Gyeom has never been able to be honest with him, AND VICE VERSA - Min Gyeom doesn't have the stability to be able to nurture Chun Sam. He used to be able to feed him blood and had security in knowing that Chun Sam was like a pet who depended on him, but after realizing Chun Sam was rich and had a loving family, the relationship was too much like with his father (used to depend on son for blood, got rid of son after marriage), so Min Gyeom lost that security and when Chun Sam rejected him, it was just too painful for him. Broken Min Gyeom just wants to be loved, and he's not in the position to teach Chun Sam how to be a boyfriend, which we can see Chun Sam is starting to learn to do.
