Because he has a sob backstory. Boohoo
He's a shitty friend, however you cuss or spin it, he was Sunhwa's friend for years, they're in a friend group together. And Sunhwa is trashy but he's not unreasonable as shown in this chapter. Mok-jeon could have approached him before this, when he said he was getting bored of Nanjo, tell him the truth & Sunhwa would back off. Sunhwa didn't backstab his friend, Mok-jeon did and he didn't even apologize.
Mok-jeon can also do what he did this chapter with Nanjo when they were getting closer & know that Nanjo was avoiding Sunhwa, sit him down & show him the text messages. He tried to tell Nanjo the truth but he also act like the fucking Riddler, speaking vague shit & never show proof. Then just let it play out between those two, fuck, he can even be a little hero & swoop in to console Nanjo with his heartbreak
Nanjo wasn't harsh, Mok-jeon deserved a beating. Nanjo was getting closer to him but both of them weren't even on a friends basis, Mok-jeon was his blackmailer.
I feel bad reading that the translator having to explain the characters & plot to the readers. You do a great job Mintsprout, don't let these comment dishearten you.
If you can't read between the line why his kid brother who is like 20 years apart from ML have to call him Dad in public & only hyung when they're alone, and his mom living far apart from them. Then you're a kind of moron or a kid (get off this site)
Give a not dramatic reason to explain why his dad abuse him, why he has severe anxiety & slept around seeking for love/attention before, and why his dad has a grudge against a dude of his kid's age.
And all some of you can mutter is just "that's it?" because it doesn't involve drug, mafia, murder, sexual abuse/rape ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭











So this is an expansion of Boss Bitch Baby's guideverse too? It's the same support red hair esper hanging around in one page & guide Hojin that lost 1 eye
I noticed that too, I hope it really is an expansion and not just look a likes Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
I went back to reread and those two's private guild name in the AU ending is Hoyoung, same as here. So I think it's really the same guideverse, set after BBB's. It'd be 100% confirmed if we see Yooseong's esper twin brother in a future chapter
