Dang, no matter how difficult it is to take care of a sick child, a little bit of empathy, observation, and good explanation could’ve made Jaeyi feel that he’s just as important as Jiseong. The parents should have explained to Jiseong that Jaeyi is his brother and they are equally loved so Jiseong as a child may have understood if Jaeyi wanted some time with the parents too. He got so spoiled he forgot that his brother existed :(
Man this is sad, and now Jiseong’s eyes are dead set on Ideum cos our boy is too cute and lovable and Jaeyi will probably take it out on Ideum for interacting with the person who made his life miserable. Just hoping that despite being a trembling hamster, Ideum will have the guts to tell Jaeyi off if he’s doing something he dislikes cos he is still the hyung ╥﹏╥
Personally, this is way worse than being disabled or losing the fight and I’m glad it went down this route. Having Dan, whom he truly cared for even if he doesn’t admit it, be hurt and on the brink of death because of him while he basks in glory, all healthy and shit would slap the crappy personality out of him more than anything.
The moment he thought “dont tell me baek jumin did this just to win this match?” was already reality hitting him like a truck because the match isn’t really everything afterall. It’s hard when you’d rather be the one hurt than the one you love but you can’t really do anything ╥﹏╥
Imo, if he lost the fight, he might just cycle back into toxicity and think “Ugh, should’ve focused more on the match. This is all Kim Dan’s fault” yada yada like the immature shit he was






Gtfo Jiseong you’re irrelevant, leave the confused “fuck buddies” alone
