argghhh this arc is SO good bc we're seeing this only from minwoo's pov but we can also see hints of things he misses like 1) when minwoo was rough with cheoljin during sex cheoljin purposefuly changed positions to stop minwoo from noticing that he had made him bleed (when he got on top of minwoo instead) + ALSO the next morning, cheoljin "spilled" coffee on purpose to hide the bloodstains on the sheets and then wash them before minwoo could notice
2) when they were younger cheoljin kicked the ball purposefully at minwoo's bully but minwoo can only focus on how cheoljin acts/flirts with others
3) how poor cheoljin is. minwoo notices how cheoljin only has one pair of sneakers, skips meals or eats really little food etc but I don't think he fully sees how poor Cheoljin is. for instance, cheoljin looked rly tired waiting for the train and there are hints he spends his nights at the internet cafe. also, cheoljin is the eldest sibling with absent parents who presumably has to take care of his younger siblings -- hence why he forges signatures and sympathizes with minwoo's brother/father
and then there are all kinds of messages with mixed interpretations: is cheoljin actually carsick or really tired? is he flirting or just being nice? it's probably both! he's 100% manipulative and flirtatious but it's both a way of getting what he wants but also testing another person's affections bc he's insecure. cheoljin is SUCH a damn good character truly my favorite character in BL. i'm so excited to read the rest of the chapters in english
