Yes! Very well written regression, he really did become different at the end of the main story, it’s sad to see how miserable his internal monologue is and he doesn’t even realize it
He's such a selfish jerk back then before Gyuha ran away when he got pregnant. He realized he's fallen for Gyuha back then. Now all that shit is forgotten. I hate the author ugh
I actually don’t think he ever truly changed. Think about it. Is there anything he ever wanted that he didn’t get to have? What did he willingly give up to make a life with Gyuha? What did he give up to maintain the relationship? Nothing at all.
He’s not acting selfish and entitled because he’s different than before, he just has no reason to whine or act selfish because all of his desires get handed to him. No matter what Gyuha initially wants, it always bends to what ML wants (the woman/bottom always gets plotnerfed to accomodate the desires and happy ending of the man/top)
The only reason the pregnancy happened was because he ignored Gyuha’s request for him to wear a condom because his instant gratification/preference was far more important than Gyuha’s preference and consent.
He falls into an archetype of main lead (male or top) who allows a nebulous relationship to turn sexual, maintains the vagueness (while getting possessive), but still won’t commit to an actual relationship until they lose access to the emotional and sexual gratification that person provide. This trope may or may not include them stringing the other person along knowing they have romantic feelings.
He does possess affection for him, but things would get rocky really fast if his desires stopped being fulfilled, whether because of a change in the relationship or a change in his base desires.
Things are only good because his desires coincidentally align perfectly with his life with Gyuha. He is still just as selfish as ever
Top is so true to character here, he’s no longer interested in Gyuha, but he’s fine with going with the flow and basically using him for his own convenience until he loses interest despite the marriage and children. If I don’t want anymore “I can just walk away” excuse me that’s unacceptable even for a one night stand if a baby is involved (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
It’s always been about him and his wants. He’s never sacrificed anything for Gyuha
