oh i’d lose it if a friend lied to me about knowing my bf just to end up being his first...

Although I agree, they aren't friends, Dorae even said they never talk to each other personally, they don't text or call, they've just had the same classes. That's not a friend, practically an alumni

She’s mentioned that they hang out together, always say hi when they see each other, and also visited her at the hospital. This all tells me they’re at the very least distant friends. But regardless of their relationship status, the principle behind not lying to anyone still stands. She should’ve never said she didn’t know him

That's literally what classmates or coworkers do, especially in Korea, it's equivalent to a get well soon card in Western society

I’m pretty sure Koreans also have get well cards. Can you imagine all your classmates and coworkers showing up to your hospital? Most would probably leave a message or not say even anything. If I make effort to see a classmate outside of a school setting, it means we’ve crossed the line between acquaintance to a friend. Friend is a broad term that can include some classmates and coworkers

Yeah but who is more importantto you? A classmate who you meet from time to time or your only friend during schooldays whom you were so close with each other and fell in love with?
It's still an awkward situation and she lied at first to make it less awkward but i think she handled it well

plsss she thought he was going to bully her when he asked to meet, i don’t think they were close. you’re describing his feelings and perception of her not the other way around. girl code holds no matter what tho

She mentioned many times that she liked him though and she never broke the girl code insisting that he should go back to his girlfriend up until their breakup

she had a crush on him and so did many other classmates. they were not close enough for her to realize he’d never hurt her. i mean i like theo james but that doesn’t mean i’m close with him loll. i was strictly looking at it through the other girl’s lens and could see how she’d have some type of feelings about the situation. she can’t see that fmc is telling him to get back with her. buttt i agree with you on her handling it well which is why i said i'm glad

I guess our interpretation of their relationship in the past is totally different then and yes i also understand the girlfriend's feelings ofc she has every right to be mad about it it's just an awkward situation for everyone

Personally, I'd call that person an acquaintance, but if I remember correctly it was directly mentioned in the story or synopsis that theyre friends
