i can’t tell if dohwa stans actually read this manhwa, but the author didn’t ruin dohwa’s character. dohwa has been crossing lines since HS. when eun and suae were together in HS, dohwa told eun, “the opportunity came to you first. but only cause you’re lucky. so i’m thinking to create some for myself this time. opportunity, i mean.” besides being a weird thing to say, he tried to “create opportunities” back then by constantly intervening. i could let it go to some extent since he was a teenager. but as an adult, he’s still trying to create “opportunities” for himself by making horrible choices. so if dohwa fr deleted the message, i wouldn’t be surprised. he hasn’t even told suae about the paparazzi following him, which could put HER in a worse situation than him if they’re caught. cuz he’s so scared of losing her, he keeps making reckless, and ultimately, selfish choices. he’s digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself.
