It is regret, guilt and unprocessed grief, not love. Heejae finds himself in the same situations as before and this time tries to behave differently to prevent the same outcome. If Garam were to leave, he would lose everything, which is partly why Heejae does all of this for him.
But what about the panel where garam is kissing heejae telling him that he is used to heejae losing his cool at him(after the talk in front of the pond) and heejae says that he never intended to ask for his forgiveness because it is a little too late for that following the panel of heejae being shown kissing his lost love instead of kissing garam
I felt that heejae's desire to change is endearing, no doubt, and i like that he is trying to be different from before but who he loves is actually the traces of his past love that he sees in garam now that his visions of his past love are more evident than ever
I would actually love some insight if there is any case that my interpretation might be wrong because i AM rooting for heejae × garam in the end too
Judging by the type of memories Heejae has of the manager, he was his lover. But does it make sense for love to reappear 10 years after a breakup? Or is it guilt and regret surfacing after reliving the same situations? I don’t think he is projecting anything on Garam or using him as a replacement for that specific person. This relationship just brings back painful memories
I see. I hope the same too. Thanks for the insight tho
I fawking knew it. That's why i hate lost lover trope. He is projecting his love for that man on garam????? The professor better be getting some crazy redemption or garam be getting with someone else.
