bruh he did all that bc he loved soyeon. he was blind, simping for the wrong person. u could tell he didn't rlly want to do it bc he wiped jaerim's tear saying "im sorry".
People can be blinded by love often. He didn’t want to assault jaerim either he himself was also crying...
It’s honestly not hard to sexually assault someone. Soyeon isn’t innocent but people dump all the blame on her like she immediately absolves ayeon of all consequences.
He’s entirely responsible for his own actions, and if he really felt that bad, he could’ve just not. I just don’t have any sympathy for him
I still don’t think that’s at all a reasonable excuse for assault, he could’ve just not. It just makes me mad how easily he got away with everything, like he felt “sad” for 2 scenes and now he’s over it bc ig his actions don’t matter??
I MEANT NOT HARD TO *NOT* sexually assault someone, rip my typing ability
I feel very strongly about this being excused so easily bc it’s still a terribly prevalent issue irl.
If you assault someone, they will genuinely not give a fuck about your “sad” backstory, because YOU, not someone else, assaulted them. It won’t matter that you “feel bad” about it, YOU still assaulted them.
If ayeon assaulted a woman, I genuinely don’t believe the reaction would be the same, it’d at least be A LOT more controversial. Soyeon is batshit crazy and everyone agrees on that, but ayeon shouldn’t immediately be absolved of his crimes bc he “loved” her. Someone might’ve been peer pressured into assaulting a person by their friends, which is scarily not uncommon irl, but they’re still the perpetrator bc they went through with the action when they had the option not to.
If someone is crying and screaming for help under you, but you continue to go through with it, you ARE guilty. I’m not saying ayeon needs to go to prison or anything for the rest of his life, but there should have been consequences.
There just unfortunately weren’t any other than his own, minimal “feels bad” moment.
I mean after all there’s a time skip and now the prev mc(forgot his name) and him seem to be getting along quite well which hopefully meant he got on his knees to apologize already. Besides since he has a bad reputation and soyeon is the only person who “accepts” him. He probably didn’t want to be left alone, and as a victim of social isolation, I tell you, it is not fun. I agree that it shouldn’t be an excuse for an assault but let him have it easy, he’s been through shit
It’s just frustrating that people are excusing his assault by covering it up with soyeon, when they were both perpetrators. The topic just hits too close to life that I can’t really look past it. But thank you for your respectful reply!
Still pissed this bitch got a happy ending with zero fucking consequence after all that bs he pulled in never understand. Like seriously?? One “I’m sorry” and he’s off the hook???
And the audacity to ask the same guy you assaulted for advice in bed?? Jaerim is just too good for this world smh, I would’ve at least socked his face in once
