That’s called settling for the bare minimum. “his self control is great, the fact that he didn't do anything more than jerking off together when he can literally do anything if wants to.” That’s not something to praise. Imagine getting drugged and your friend fingers you, then you praise them saying, “it’s okay! You didn’t go all the way, you have great self control!!”
It’s odd that you’re trying your hardest to find reasons why soobin might be good in order to insult yoo-il. If you read the story properly, that last part you said about him already had been resolved. Contract aka NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP. As well as he already ending things with jin-ah. A villain character saying it’s not the end doesn’t mean shit. That’s called being one-sided.
yeah, ik, that's why I said that "I'll get cancelled for this" bcoz ik that ppl have different opinions and pov. I'm not trying to start an argument here, both are idiots anw. I just said that from my perspective to the other stories that I read, because it didn't end well. characters here in this story are naive and fools. aight, that's all, I dropped this anw
I'll get cancelled for this but I actually feel a little bad for soobin like?? he obviously hid his feelings for years now and about that jerking off session that happened because of the influence of drugs, it's kinda hard for him to control himself especially when it was hyesung who did the first move, mistaking him for joo-il. I know that what he did was still wrong because he clearly know that hyesung were thinking of another person while they were doing it. but i can say that his self control is great, the fact that he didn't do anything more than jerking off together when he can literally do anything if wants to. and how he kept their friendship stable for years not until joo-il got inside the frame. I also believe that it wasn't soobin's intention to claim that he was the one who found hyesung in the locker before. because as I remember, he was also looking for him and maybe he somewhat heard joo-il talking, so he came in that room and saw joo-il (but joo-il immediately ran away) then found out that hyesung was locked inside the locker.
it's also funny and tricky that joo-il was still seeing that former idol girl when they're already in a contract that time. (reality show scene) and it's also sus that joo-il's still not clarifying his current relationship with hong jin-ah. because if I remember it correctly, jin-ah said that it's still not the end between them, and also told joo-il to "not forget who helped him to get where he is right now" and also the fact that they're not officially lovers (official relationship/not a fake-setup one) is kinda complicated.
