I can't help but start to develop hate towards Minyoung too, which is a shame because I did like him. :C I kinda wish I didn't know, or they kept the flashback short enough. That's the thing with introducing a flashback or unrevealed details about a character's true character too late, people have a specific vision and you take it away from them this way. It's poorly done in my opinion, though I do enjoy this dark side too, it removes the mystery given in the first chapters too. I didn't really care about their school days, all I wanted to know is that a hot manipulative babe sat next to him and managed to seduce him, since readers DID fill in the rest if you left it open for so long ya'll... TT
Cheol is easily intoxicated to that Minyussy, that limerance hype be going crazy, but yeah. Abuse attracts abuse, and despite Minyoung has it's pro's, he's been a con to Cheol baby. (I say as a Minyounglover69)

I love minyoung but as I read their backstory I’m kind of developing a grudge against him too! At this time in his life Choel is in an extremely vulnerable situation. His family is abusive and has a very corse favorite. He meets someone that finally loves and protects him (according to Minyoung) but instead of protecting him he outs to his very very abusive family putting him an even worse situation. Ik we haven’t really gotten the detail yet but from Choel pov he’s so valid. Ik he hella easy when it comes to that bussy but like don’t let him into your heart too easily
