I love how everyone forgave Heeso so fast after he manipulated Hyesung straight after giving birth when he was most vulnerable. He then lied to Hyesung and Dojin for months. He lied to Hyesung about Dojin keeping the baby, he let Dojin suffer thinking Hyesung had just left. All because he was possessive of Dojin and didn’t think Hyesung was good enough. We forgave other characters for terrible things but for some reason Chowon is the exception?
Speaking of apologies, how about Dojun apologizes to Chowon for the years of apathy and neglect?
The way Heeso grabbed him was gross and petty ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
what are you talking about? chowon literally stalked, kidnapped people and terrorized them because of his obsessive personality. not to mention his very crappy attitude.
though not in the best way, heesoo still provided hye sung with shelter when the latter was so dead set on leaving even though he just gave birth. heesoo wanted hye sung to take responsibility and raise his child but hye sung did not desire to stay.
keeping the truth from dojin and feeding them both lies was definitely shitty, not gonna deny that, but i do think he had no malicious intent. hye sung was too vulnerable to be on his own. heesoo manipulated him to stay with him until they figured out a solution. he respected hye sung's wishes not to tell dojin about any of it.
even so, when the truth finally unveiled, he agonized for so long for hurting his best friend, please just read back on some old chapters. i'm not excusing his behavior, but it's still nowhere close to what chowon did. unless you think stalking your ex's lovers is an okaish thing to do then i don't know what to say.
chowon does deserve an apology from dojun, but keep in mind that only the families and chowon wanted this union. he was too obsessed with this idea of marrying a hot rich and dominant alpha male. (what an irony that kyungsoo is a beta)
also, i don't see anything gross about that grab. please explain it to me.
Say it louder! Heesoo nearly killed Hyesung and Dojin. What he did was by far the worst in this story. He never apologize to them either and people just forgive him like nothing happened. When it comes to Chowon, the standard got so high all of the sudden. I understand that Heesoo doesn’t need to accept his apology, but the way he grabbed Chowon and looked down on him was pitiful. To the point of bragging about somebody who asked for forgiveness pathetically was unnecessary.

okay i always knew that heesoo is an amazing character (and the only reason why i kept reading this story in the first place, please don't tell), but that was such a mature response to someone who's hurt him really bad wowowow.
like at this point i don't even hate chowon, decent character development is always welcomed, but i also don't think he deserves forgiveness from the people he harmed just because he's shown deep remorse and regretted his absurd cruel actions after the quite eventful change of heart.
yes, i do believe he deserves a second chance,
but i also hope he does even more self reflecting on the basis of the belief that his actions were wrong and not because kyungsoo's reaction to the truth kickstarted this regret, if you know what i mean. frankly speaking, kyungsoo could really do better, chowon's earlier treatment of him was not okay, but oh well, the heart wants what it wants.
anyways, apologizing was definitely the right thing to do since it probably chipped at his huge pride, the concept of humility is very foreign to him and we can see that clearly in this chapter. heesoo's words are actually really kind if you read closely into them. though not in a necessarily straightforward way, he did indeed grant chowon forgiveness and maybe some peace of mind. i don't think i could forgive someone who nearly had me raped and humiliated because of petty jealousy. i'll get them in jail.
oufff, sorry i had a lot to say.
(that chin grab was heesoo's way of asserting dominance. i love him sm)
