Fr tho. Like, I just skimmed s1s last chapter, there are several telling panels where his obsession is leaking through, but he's holding it in bec. he believes Yujin won't lie to him. Welp, he got played so he's lost it.
Yep. Said this in the last chapter. Aaron was red, then he met Yujin, became slightly faded red in the wash and now has been redyed back to brilliant red again!!
I'm not sure what people didn't understand about that. Other than my laundry metaphors!!
Literally I dont get why these people are losing their shits over his being this way and the author taking the plot in this direction when its fucking obvious hes exactly what its shown rn.
Ngl, I feel like ppl including me gotta reread s1 bec. it seems like there's so many "show don't tell" parts in the story of Aaron's growing obsession that simply got overlooked/ignored by readers bec. we thought that this was just gonna be a fluffy read lmao
I also forgot a lot of details but a few I remember being he used to get punished by his family but wouldnt react, his family was worried, so he learned how to react to pain by watching actors on a TV, and then acted it out infront of his parents, which suggest he has sociopathic behaviour somewhere deep down.
He also "jokingly" pointed a gun at yujin maybe in the beginning somewhere.
He got jealous and told Yujin "to take it like a good little pet".
Not to mention he was beyond obsessed with him ever since he saw the music video Yujin had uploaded, he literally searched/stalked him everywhere to find the "guy", He went through Yujin's files and used Yujin's situation to make a deal that he could take advantage of, aka making Yujin write the song for him that helps him sleep and have sex with him.
He literally put a tracker on yujin's phone, clothes and things so he could track him incase Yujin runs away.
He also spent so many fucking dollars just to find Yujin.
He also pretended to cry infront of that bartender to get information on where Yujin resides, once she told him out of sympathy, his eyes turned piercings cold, indicating he was manipulating her and was successful at it. He also threatened her that if she helped Yujin again, He would make sure her son wouldnt be safe aint no motherfucking green flag does all this.
Not to mention he has severe insomnia, unless when he listens to songs made by Yujin or if he is with yujin himself, which shows the obsessive, possessive nature runs deeper than just physical being, its emotional and mental too.
In this situation, he practically cannot breath without Yujin being near him.
Bro that's a lot of insane stuff hes done lmaooo AND I DON'T REMEMBER MOST OF THEM
This is really a sign that I need to reread s1 bec. s2s introductory chapters completely changed how I view Aaron.
I mean I call him red as it's a bit easier when I'm thinking on his direct behaviour but he sits very much in the grey.
In that sense it's a bit like hating on a lion when it chews your leg off. Just because it learned not to bite you in the confines of a cage doesn't mean it wouldn't bite once free.
In the "relationship " Aaron controlled himself to a degree but once he was free of that he reverted to his true nature.
I'm very interested to see where the author takes this.
I'm also very tired and am waffling but I hope you get what I'm saying in my long winded, adhd way!!
Woah your paragraph is literally perfect and so is the analogy. Explained better than i could. Do you mind if I ever copy it and use it in any comment if required? Coz aint know way I could come up with that by myself lol
No worries. I seriously thought I was rambling rubbish for a bit so I'll take the validation!
he's always been a yandere, its just it wasnt as bad until he got triggered by Yujin leaving him.
People tend to forget he couldnt understand or feel emotions, he learned to act them by studying other people as a kid, he was manipulative, possessive,its just that he wasnt abusive, he has always been somewhat morally grey, he cannot be classified under the categories Red Green or black flags, he is a mix of all depending on the situation.yall also forget he was obsessed with Yujin ever since he had seen that video of his so many years ago, he's been trying to find him since ages, and since he succeeded in that and assumed it would be permanent but got stood up, he lost it. He has always been obsessive, possessive and a bit crazy.
Yall cannot be mad at a morally grey character for being morally grey be fucking for real right now.
