We can see from the brother’s inner thoughts and past behavior that he (at least at present) thinks of Ideum as a plaything that he can use to satisfy desires and irritate Jaeyi at the same time. Any seemingly kind gesture is rooted in that selfish agenda. Jaeyi’s brother clearly enjoys feeling superior to others and enjoys receiving attention, and since jiseong either retired from pro swimming or is taking a break (I can’t remember which), initiating some form of relationship with Ideum would fuel both his superiority complex towards his brother and his need for attention. Also, please note that jiseong continues to try to connect with Ideum about their medical history, as he is hoping his attention to Ideum’s scar insecurity will win Ideum over. Ideum is very susceptible to influence by a seemingly kind gesture, since Ideum has some deep rooted insecurities and struggles to make connections with people. I hope he is not swayed by jiseong, since jiseong has ill intentions at present. Jaeyi’s reaction is normal, even though at present he and Ideum are considered friends with benefits. Jaeyi knows from experience that his brother’s intentions are bad and it could hurt Ideum. Also, Jaeyi very clearly has feelings for Ideum beyond simply “a person I sleep with”, even if they are only fwb: friends is the key word. You don’t want a friend to be used. And as far as people saying that it shouldn’t be a problem for jiseong and Ideum to have sex; it’s weird as hell to try to have sex with a person you know your sibling is sleeping with. For someone to even consider that, it shows a deep disregard for family at the very least, and it should raise a warning flag to everyone involved. I’m excited for the new season, and I hope we continue to get these well fleshed-out characters and entertaining writing♡ Bravo!
