This chapter really makes me sad though. Like you’re breaking my heart Dohun. I wonder who he could’ve become if he wasn’t raised in such messed up environments. I wonder the same for yuwon. Also, thinking about the title, I don’t think it’s referring to yuwon per se, more so I think it’s referring to dohun’s perception of yuwon. Dohun views yuwon the same way he did when they were in high school. But yuwon has changed (he was even hit by a car and suffered a traumatic brain injury!) i think in order to function though, dohun needs to believe that yuwon is still the same. He needs to believe that yuwon is unchanged. That all his wants and needs are still the same. Yuwon was/is the constant in his life, like the tree in his children’s book. If he changes, duhun no longer has any purpose. At the end of the day, dohun is still a kid. A kid who grew up abused and isolated and latched on to the first person who showed him any semblance of kindness. It’s such an immense tragedy.
