DANGGGG, A REAL APOLOGY!
He even contemplated if he even deserves to be be forgiven even if he just did one thing right.
God, other stories keep up please! We need more male leads like this! Like, I don't mind toxicity as long as it embraces its toxicity and acknowledges it.
Bonus if they change and truly redeemed themselves like Taejun here.
I really love how they handled TJ's redemption unlike other manhwa.
There's really resistance from the victim and there's acknowledgement from the perpetrator and he really wants to change.
I will still put him in jail in real life but if Euihyun really wanted him in his life, I would accept it since it's fiction and they really wrote an amazing redmption arc for TJ.
He got some bad past but he didn't treat Taegun badly vs other male leads in other manhwas that authors write as if their bad past can excuse whatever the fuck they did to their partners.
Also, this is heartbreaking. Being near him, admitting his feelings to Taegun also means revisiting that dark past, that trauma.
