I read it like more than 5? Times. And the ex gf didn't know about jinhyeong. She didn't know he's a weirdo, socially awkward, and mentally weak to other "eyes on him". Nope. She had no idea, she just think that he is a cool guy. AND Jinhyeong never told her all about his real self.
She just want to help, but it had negative effect as Hyeong never told her the truth. Thats why he apologized. ITS all because missunderstanding and poor communication. (Well, hyeong said noona would absolutely freak out of she know the real him. Lol)
Thats why out main couple were strong. Jinhyeong learned, Instead push kindness he Embrace it, he Became more open. Of course Uyun the MVP for understanding his weirdo and Embrace it. How i love their communication.
She knew he was introverted and doesnt really speak to people, he didnt need to tell her that. He also said that he doesnt want to go. Him being a weirdo has no connection with him being VISIBLY introverted, as everyone in school thinks he is a shy shut in. I know it was a miscommunication, but the fault was mostly on her side. Also Its my 8th reread, idk why u mentioned its ur 5th but I won in that departament
Also, the entire scene in that place was him being asked uncomfortable questions about his rich dad, u can see he was feeling bad, and she still didn't really step up by asking him if he is okay or if its too much. I cannot imagine myself being somewhere with my partner I allegedly love and putting myself so much before them.
Yuyu ur the goat fr
Yup our Uyun is the best!
The problem is that being asked about your family actually normal (yeah, i know ITS crazy, but it did) in korean culture, heck most Asian did that. The girl did ask them to stop. But they just... "Nah, i need to get on his side". Crazy right. I hate bar-social gath. Lol.
And she absolutely didn't even know he had social phobia (while our Uyun would know even from mars) and just think that as "a bit uncomfy" maybe because she think "Ah, He really didn't think much about people who talk about him. Look at him, being quite with icy stare" while Uyun would just Snatch him and made our mc as buritto... So comfy.
Everyone need Uyun. I want him.
Relationship surely hard when you're not in the same page. Noona and hyeong? They're not even in the same book, even had different genre.
I kind of like how the author potray her as a nice girl try to being nice but in the wrong page. With wrong way. Except from the dad, we havent shown true bad people. Everyone had their bad and good side. So 3D.

Reading the officials rn and I kinda think that the noona was in the wrong in this whole situation. Reading it the first time I thought she was more on the right, but now rereading this, why would you force your lover to go somewhere he clearly doesn't want to go, just for your own comfort? Jinhyeong told her he doesnt want to go, she knew he was heavily introverted and not good at speaking to people, and as soon as they got there, everyone was bullying him, and instrad of leasing together she STILL wanted to stay for the info? Gurl, if your studies are more important than your lover, then you are the problem.
