that’s crazy, you say that as if he literally wasn’t grieving and left alone with his abusive ass father who saw his son as money rather than his actual son. you’re not understanding, in korea people don’t just leave their family, not until their 30s. it’s normal for them to be with their parents for a while. he left at like 17 for america cuz his dad obviously planned it. do you really think he had any control of his life at all at that age? “no amount of explanation” is so diabolically unsympathetic because younger eunhyuk was anything BUT nonchalant. he kept his traumas to himself but sooae felt so loved with him and even explains how safe she feels with him. you can’t for one second think there’s a chance he went through something that made him emotionally void?
DOOOONT care, that doesn’t excuse him acting nonchalant to his ex girlfriend that had NO idea where he was. ALS the fact that they’ve encountered each other MULTIPLE times now, NOT JUST ONCE, and she STILL hasn’t explained shit. I don’t wanna read talks dumb excuses defending him, it’s common sense to not go for a “man” like that
LOL he wasn’t a “man” when he left he was still a child. he didn’t ask sooae to be hung up on him for 10 years just like sooae didn’t ask dohwa to keep his feelings for her for 10 fucking years. the dumb excuses is called perspective which would understandably be a hard thing for you to grasp considering you read the chapters with him in it like it’s a picture book trying to understand situations like his takes no effort at all. using your brain is freer than air you there’s no need to be frugal about it

I’m gonna be so mad if she still ends up with eunhyuk
