I'm sorry to say this y'all but at the back of my head, I still think about... Min-young d...

Yeah. In a normal setting, they shouldn't be together, but this story is in no way normal. The only thing bothering me is why min young left

"Just for today — I can't stomach how "weak" Jeong-cheol is/was (⊙…⊙ )"

Bruh, I mean imagine being Cheol who was literally physically and emotionally abused and mistreated by EVERYONE, especially by his OWN FAMILY ever since he was born. He literally has no sense of self-worth because he is degraded by his family every single time. Of course he'd grow up weak like this. In fact with that sort of upbringing and environment, I'm surprised he's not suicidal.

The arrogance and ignorance in calling a severely abused teenager weak has me so livid it's OP I can't stand today tbh. His current self pisses me off more, but his past self gets a 100% free pass in my eyes. You don't magically have confidence and emotional intelligence when all you know is being the "not as loved" child. Besides, I think Cheol being damaged is part of what makes Minyoungs manipulation bearable. Minyoung doesn't deserve shit for being a little psychopath lmao So I'm happy that he's at least trying to make a damaged loser boy happy with his crazy. They're both broken and deserve each other completely.

Exaaaaactly

You are talking exactly like the people Minyoung hates and that's funny.

Omg you're right lol. And that had me thinking, Minyoung is literally the only one here who sees and knows how much Cheol is working hard for things and how much he actually suffers.

Minyoung is the reason their relationship fell apart, though. He outed Cheol to his father and we don't even know why yet. This was incredibly traumatic for Cheol, not to mention put him in a dangerous situation. Since his father was already physically abusive, there's no telling what he could have done to Cheol if he found out that Cheol was gay.

Also, it's very clear that Minyoung is incredibly predatory and manipulative. Teenage Cheol didn't stand a chance. And everything happening in the present is happening according to Minyoung's plans.

this is such a weird thing to say about a person who was emotionally, psychologically, physically tormented by his caregivers especially during his formative years. Of course, how would he know how to regulate his emotions if he wasn't taught how to?

Yeeee also this person supposedly understood Minyoung's tragic story and narrative but didn't even understand why Cheol is so terrified and guarded which makes me think if they are reading it only to simp on Minyoung and his sexiness makes them ignore everything else. Exactly like his crazy fans in the story. How amusing

The fact that Cheol suffered a lot and is guarded is actually an important part of the plot too because it's the reason why Minyoung continued to be interested in him. Minyoung enjoys the fact that Cheol is desperate for love.

Bro I'm literally LMFAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA replying to all of your comments is not the hill I'll die on

I mean you don’t have to, your stance doesn’t hold up, and trying to justify it just makes it sound like you’re trivializing abuse or saying victims should ‘tough it out

We read the same manhwa and got different things out of it.

Why do you care so much about what I felt yesterday? You're acting as if I did you wrong bruh.
I didn't know having a different reading comprehension was a crime.

I never said abuse victims like him should tough it out! WTF?! I'm not that stupid, please!

I am trying to say that I can't stomach HOW 'weak' he's written.

I can feel bad for Jeong-cheol 90% of the time AND still think Min-young deserves better. Two things can be true!

I said Jeong-cheol is/was 'weak' but you guys heard "abuse victims are weak"? Aren't you the one trivializing abuse now?
LMFAO! Stop twisting my words will you?

Anyway, I said my piece.
Not debating fictional trauma with strangers so don't expect another reply. Enjoy the manhwa. Bye!

So you'd have liked it more if he'd have yelled everytime at his abusive father and beat up all the bullies and caused a ruckus which would have either landed him in critical condition in the hospital or made a mark in his permanent records? He was in high school. A time where hiding and ignoring feels safer and more convenient than fighting for what's correct. He is so guarded because that's a mode of survival. You can't hate a character for trying to survive

- Why so triggered? Calm down why don't you.

"I am trying to say that I can't stomach HOW 'weak' he's written."

- You're just straight up lying. You literally said:
"I can't stomach how "weak" Jeong-cheol is/was (⊙…⊙ )"

"I can feel bad for Jeong-cheol 90% of the time AND still think Min-young deserves better. Two things can be true!"
- That is literally not the point.

"LMFAO! Stop twisting my words will you?"
- You can't be that dense to not realise how incredibly ironic that is coming from you

You: Guyyssss come on I didn't call an abuse victim weak because he's an abuse victim! I said I can't stomach how weak a guy who happens to be an abuse victim is being written!!

This is how dumb you are, and crying about us being triggered whole we're typing rationally and you're crashing out and back pedaling desperately while you sent your own words is hilarious.

Yo, Yo, Yo.

Y'all should end this thread now, and I mean NOW.

I can't see a notification expecting it to be an updated story only to see that it's some strangers arguing about fiction.

Y'all should go touch grass

Are you not aware of the concept of "Mute Notifications"? Cause I'm pretty sure you can mute threads. Also:

"Y'all should go touch grass"

Surely you can’t be this dense to not see the irony in that
