Guys, the author has masterfully dropped little hints throughout the story, right from the very beginning, about who Mr. Yeon is and how he thinks. So many of his choices have been made out of sheer arrogance and self-centeredness that it was almost inevitable that things would end badly for their relationship.
And we have to admit that Yeomin could be pretty stubborn in his own ways, to the point of hurting himself, both physically and mentally.
They could have had a good outcome if BOTH of them had been willing to take a step back and compromise, to meet each other halfway. Of course, the blame falls much more heavily on Mr. Yeon's shoulders than Yeomin's, especially when you consider the power imbalance in their relationship. Yeomin desperately, and rather naively, wanted to keep things neutral and on equal footing. But for the Mr. Yeon we've seen, equality was never really something he considered, let alone something that ever crossed his mind. This relationship was never meant to be an equal partnership in his eyes. It was about him being in charge, having control, and believing he had every right to maintain it. Because, above all, he never truly saw Yeomin as his equal.
And honestly, given the kind of person the ML is, it was almost impossible for him to take a step back, look at their relationship from a different perspective, and rethink his behavior. (Un)Fortunately (and hopefully!), he's about to get a much-needed wake-up call that will force him to realize just how wrong he was and just how deeply he's fallen for Yeomin. Serves him right! But the price Yeomin has to pay for this is giving up everything and running away, and that just makes me so sad. :(
I've never felt so maternal toward a character as I do toward Yeomin. I usually end up getting frustrated with MCs like him at some point, but Yeomin has really won me over. I actually find myself worrying about him, his future, and whether he'll ever get the happiness he deserves.
