What we now see from Dohun’s perspective, is that Seongmin was listening to people in the office talk shït on Yuwon while Seongmin said nothing to Yuwon’s defense. Seongmin has no problem with other people being terrible to Yuwon, but then goes and acts all buddy-buddy when he’s with Yuwon. It’s two-faced behavior, but Yuwon is unaware of it/doesn’t want to see it. That’s why when Dohun says “no one in the office likes you” Dohun means it not as a dig at Yuwon, but as a fact, because Dohun can see that even Seongmin isn’t whole heartedly nice to Yuwon. Yuwon clings to his friendship with Seongmin because he doesn’t know (or possibly chooses to ignore) that Seongmin isn’t actually a great guy/is kind to Yuwon only when it suits him. Dohun wants to alienate Yuwon from everyone else at the office, because Dohun truly believes that it will be better for Yuwon. Everything Dohun does is with Yuwon in mind, and with effort for them to be happy together. —I am not excusing Dohun’s forceful behaviors. But, since Dohun grew up learning all of these “life lessons” in a skewed unhealthy way, Dohun is just trying to fix their situation/relationship in the only way he learned how; through controlling methods.—
I just knew he would withdraw after that. I know it wasn’t meant as a rejection, but how could he see it any other way. He even took extra potion for the higher voice.
I sympathize highly with ML, and I do understand why he reacts like that, because of his abuse and ptsd. I’m just so sad for both of them, poor babies. (︶’︿’︶)
