And do people really think Tetsu raping Yuta is some shocking new experience for him? He's been suffering abuse from that asshole for an entire decade while Seunghyun was out there living his life after forgetting all about him.
Now Seunghyun feels hurt because he sees Yuta with Tetsu? Sorry, but that's hard for me to sympathize with.
If Seunghyun were Dooshik, I'd understand being upset that Yuta didn't trust him. But unlike Dooshik, Seunghyun actually left. He abandoned Yuta for ten years. If I were in Yuta's position, I wouldn't believe that Seunghyun would choose me over the people he's loved and protected his whole life either.
“Now Seunghyun feels hurt because he sees Yuta with Tetsu?”
That’s clearly not what’s happening. Seunghyun is shocked because he literally just saw Yuta frozen on the ground with his clothes pulled down. I can guarantee you his first thought wasn’t, “Yuta chose Tetsu over me.”
It’s not like they got back together immediately after seeing each other again for the first time in ten years. And even now, they’re not really together. They’ve talked, Seunghyun has apologized a thousand times for something that happened in the past, but the life Yuta ended up living is not entirely his fault. Did he influence it? Absolutely, and in a major way. But he’s not responsible for everything that happened to Yuta.
After three chapters of them talking about their feelings, fears, and love for each other, it’s completely normal for Yuta not to trust him 100% yet. Seunghyun knows that, and now that he finally has the chance, he’s going to fight and do everything he can to prove that he genuinely wants to be with him.
So don’t sympathize with him if you don’t want to, but there’s no need to turn Seunghyun into some kind of villain either.
And that's my point. I'm not saying Seunghyun was hurt because of jealousy or because Yuta "chose" Tetsu over him. He was hurt because Yuta was suffering.
But honestly, it's difficult for me to sympathize with him. Yuta spent a decade being abused by that asshole while Seunghyun was gone. If Seunghyun had checked on Yuta even once during those ten years, maybe things would have been different.
I'm not calling Seunghyun a villain. I don't think he's evil. What frustrates me is how the story is trying to position him as Yuta's savior now, when so much damage has already been done.
That's why I don't really want them to end up together anymore. I think they both deserve a fresh start with people who aren't connected to years of trauma and heartbreak.
Maybe that's an unpopular opinion, but I feel like no matter what happens, Yuta will never forget being abandoned, and Seunghyun will never forget that he was the one who left. The past will always be standing between them.

I understand your point, but I think I’ve moved past that perspective. Yes, they made a promise ten years ago, and because of circumstances, manipulation, and pride, Seunghyun broke it. And yes, the worst part is that he went on with his life and forgot about Yuta. Fair enough, I get that.
But at the same time, the person who truly made Yuta’s life a living hell was Tetsu. Because realistically, if Seunghyun had tried to go back for Yuta, the Kujo family would have killed him. As for the whole “if Seunghyun had remembered him” or “if he had helped Yuta” argument… those are all hypotheticals we’ll never know the answer to. And I genuinely understand where you’re coming from, but I also understand the kind of development the author wants them to have.
And the thing is, Seunghyun is Yuta’s savior. He always has been. The difference is that Yuta is an incredibly strong character, and the only reason he’s managed to keep going all these years is because of the hatred he carried toward Seunghyun. That’s why I keep saying that Yuta hasn’t made things easy for him, and he isn’t going to make them easy now either. Their story is a tragedy, and that’s what makes it so compelling.
That said, I completely respect your opinion. Personally, I do want them to end up together, because that’s what Yuta has always wanted. And in the end, Yuta is the one who deserves happiness the most. But as I’ve said before, everyone is free to interpret the story however they want.
Once the best chance passes, making things right is 100 times harder. Seunghyun's best time to save Yuta was 10 years ago. Back then, Yuta had only been abused "many" times, but now it's "countless". His psychological and physical trauma is beyond imagination
Yuta once said that Seunghyun was just unlucky to cross paths with him. Clearly, he never blamed Seunghyun for failing to save him. Yuta only used revenge as an excuse to lie to himself in reality, he just wanted to see Seunghyun and have him remember him before he died
How could someone like Yuta, who managed to survive until now, possibly need anyone to save him? For ten years, he had only himself to rely on. That is why he only trusts what he has verified himself and his own plans.
omg your analysis is absolutely correct!! i was thinking the same
I actually saw someone post this on X and thought, damn, she took the words right out of my mouth That's why I had to share it here.
Honestly, it feels like a lot of people don't understand Yuta's perspective at all. They expect him to trust Seunghyun completely and lean on him after only a month together, all because Seunghyun said some sweet things overnight. As if ten years of abandonment and abused can just be erased that easily.
Do you have the link to the tweet? I'd like to read them and I agree with you!
