comments must have short term memory cuz if you love someone do you really make them choose between you and their entire livelihood and everything they worked towards. knowing damn well what happened to garam?? after being involved in garams court case (without garam knowing)?? its actually baffling to see jaehyuk THREATEN, yes, THREATEN garam and only says that they could "work out a compromise..." in his HEAD. for some reason, after THREATENING GARAM, he ASSUMES garam will just KNOW that by "its either be outed or lose me!" he actually means "we can work something out!" hell... id be speechless too! just as garam had hours to speak, SOOOO DIDDDD JAEHYUK. garam has his faults, its true, i don't deny that- but pretending garam is stupid and jaehyuk... isn't, is ridiculous to say the LEAST. people can root for garam to crawl to jaehyuk as much as they want, but honestly, the most work jaehyuk has done on himself was accept that he has an attraction to garam... that's about it in the grand scheme of things. he's not actually nicer, he's not considerate, he still holds things over garam's head, and he doesn't take anything he says seriously. this story keeps introducing interesting concepts, but a lot of the time the threads are left loose and are "resolved" in a really anti-climatic way. i really want these characters to grow in a meaningful way, but that won't happen with garam crying and begging for jaehyuk back. both of them need to realize their actions affect the other, but jaehyuk especially needs to learn to treat garam like a person and not just someone he's dating, like everything he says doesn't matter at all because he's his boyfriend- like an extension of himself. as for garam, his trauma holds him back, but honestly... jaehyuk knew that going into the relationship? everytime garam has a negative reaction, it's always about how he feels, and he tells garam how much he does for him, and when garam takes charge and does things for himself, suddenly its a problem.. i do think it would have helped if garam communicated that he was gonna do that better, but exactly to what extent WOULD it have helped? garam is traumatized, sure, but that isn't the root of the problem. as we've seen countless times before... jaehyuk doesn't listen at the end of the day! garam sets boundaries, jaehyuk breaks them. an endless cycle since the beginning of the story! i wish garam could make better choices, but given the situation garam is in, would i have made better ones? would i really just accept a ring politely? would i really let someone i love throw their life away for me? would i really be able to face my past with ease like jaehyuk suggests? would i have even been able to trust jaehyuk with anything after being lied to countless times? after you get kicked countless times, do you run back to get kicked again? yeeeahh... nope.
this!! as a closeted gay myself i was floored to see so many comments absolutely dogging on garam and just praising jaehyuk like he’s some saint. im not ab to sit here and act like garam did nothing wrong but jaehyuk sure as hell isn’t 100% innocent either
