Same. I get the social isolation angle that minyeong's operating under (bc ofc he'd think that was a pro) but cheol could legit get killed by his no-good parents and pos brother over this! And minyeong literally just found out he couldn't just plan his will into existence, and cheol paid the price for that by getting his leg fractured. This is such incredibly crazy and foolhardy behavior. With an ally like this, who even needs enemies atp it's a miracle cheol even survived long enough
Thinking realistically, his family would have beaten him until he was hospitalised. Sad to say this, but he was fortunate that he lived somewhat of a normal life after all that, although miserably. (If we ignore his avoidance issues)
Minyoung knew that he couldn't protect him at that time but pulled that stunt...
Although I can fathom why Minyoung did what he did, I will still condemn it as outing someone can not only isolate that person from their family but also put their life in danger.
It's just a fictional story, but in real life, many individuals who come out to their families(or are outed by someone else) do get murdered more often than what we know.
So, this is not the right way to protect Cheol because he could have been killed by his family, which didn't happen here, obviously, but this wasn't the right choice.
As stated in the story, he believed that Cheol couldn't abandon his family no matter what, so he made his family cut ties with him. I do understand that, and there are some justifications surrounding his actions, yet I still cannot resort to agree with his actions in the end.
Just free Cheol from all those crazy people. (That includes Minyoung) Even Minyoung prioritises his feelings rather than Cheol's safety and his wants.
