I’m crying at the “why didn’t he stay because Aaron is mega rich” part Like girl what?? His father is literally actively sabotaging their lives, so Yujin genuinely thought leaving was the best way to protect Aaron. You can think Yujin made the wrong decision, that’s fine, but that doesn’t mean he’s responsible for what happened to him. Those are two completely different things And calling him a “penniless rat” is taking me OUTTT
not trying to be sexist or whatever but ive read my fair share of yaois and ive learned that, in most cases, men will always be men
in these recent chapters, its safe to say that male pride takes a huge role in whatever the hell is going on now
just my take tho
"Yujin genuinely thought leaving was the best way to protect Aaron"
Yeah that's the giant problem right there. Like literally how? Like in what way? His father can track him down easily and he can't do shit about it because he has zero resources. Meanwhile it was so easy for Hunter to track down his father and threaten him (〜￣△￣)〜
"but that doesn’t mean he’s responsible for what happened to him. Those are two completely different things."
It's as you said, they're two different things. Yujin almost getting raped is obviously entirely the rapist's fault duhhhhhhh. But just because he was victimized doesn't mean he's above criticism for the choices he made that contributed to the mess between him and Hunter..
Frankly, it does kinda comes off as sexist tho. Pride isn't just a men thing. I think it would've been better if you said something like their actions are more or less aligned with their established personalities, Hunter being prideful and possessive, and Yujin being cynical and rash. (Or even the author simply dropped the ball on this one ╮(￣▽￣)╭ )
yeah valid point, guess the author wanted to spice things up sangwoo style or sumn. Regardless, I js hope that they eventually learn to trust each other fully despite how things are going rn TT
Why are people solely blaming Hunter for this shitshow, when Yujin is also to blame. No it's not victim-blaming, just because he got assaulted a few chapters ago doesn't mean I can't criticise his terrible actions. Like wtf was even the goal of lying and trashtalking here huh Yujin? I mean let's go further back, what was the goal of you abandoning Hunter in the first place huh? You two had something going real good, why did you throw it away? What, you were afraid of your father? Then that's even more reason for you to have stayed with Hunter, who's mega rich and with lots of connections. He's more than capable of protecting you both from your father, rather than you hiding and running away like a penniless rat. Srsly.
