I miss her POV :') Don't get me wrong this is great too though!

Well he's right about one thing: It is Ideum's choice.
But who would trust someone who goes about things the way Jiseong does?

Lurking in the locker room waiting for Ideum, saying things about Jaeyi that don't seem to match up to reality and going on Jaeyi and Ideum's relationship in such a smug way when it's clearly making Ideum uncomfortable. It doesn't seem like a great start.

Sidenote, notice how different they brothers reactions are to Ideum's scar? Jiseong offers Ideum cover-up tape for it, whereas Jaeyi (while forceful about making Ideum show it to him), goes out of his way to kiss the scar and show that not only is it not a bad or gross thing to have, but rather something to be thankful to since it allows Ideum to be healthy enough to experience all sorts of things.

That hurt. Losing a parent you love without getting to see them one last time is something that haunts you for the rest of your life

I still have the feeling Rosa's mother left the two of them alone in order to have Rosa "take" him from her :')

Well.... at least Jaeyi is self aware I guess. That was not great, and the timing of bringing Jiseong up was a little bit ??? but then again I still think that's infinitely better than leaving Ideum confused about what the heck just happened and why Jaeyi is mad when he actually personally hadn't done anything.
Fingers crossed this leads to them understanding each other and growing together.

I know this wasn't exactly high literature or anything but that's it? That felt like a caricature of an ending, ex-husband turning cartoon evil and we don't get to see what happens to him, and suddenly there's a happy ever after and we never even got to see the rich girl's friendship with Ahjung. Also a certain hairdresser saving her from the ex where she's been raped and humiliated for days but he doesn't seem to have taken her to a hospital, and isn't giving her any clothing to cover up with.

Wow I hated that

Idk man I get it. They misunderstood each other about the whole marriage thing from the start and now she knows he might not want the same thing as she does once again. She's quicker to figure out when they aren't in sync than he is, so now it's up to her to decide whether she'd be at peace being with him longterm without a marriage, and ultimately leave if it's not. But that takes some time to figure out. The unfortunate thing is that Jaejun keeps thinking they're on the same wavelength and are perfect for each other and doesn't even question it until she leaves or does something drastic.

Sidenote I really don't like Jaejun. I get this is his first time getting emotionally attached to someone and therefore doesn't know how to act but that is not an excuse for how he behaved while they were broken up. I'm sure he'll grow up eventually, but damn our girl could do so much better at this point.

Taeseo being an absolute psycho aside, look at how cool Yeomin is running away like a pro

Still enjoy this so much on the reread. Idk, I'm just a sucker for the combination of psycho + someone who thinks they're normal but actually really is kinda unhinged.
I still wish Hamin would have gotten the upperhand more, but I'll take this too.
What I really want to know though is how Hamin and Sehyuk both ended up developing such strong personalities in their childhood and who they were influenced by, because that feels like the least believable to me without any additional information I think. But it's not big enough of a deal that I'd stop enjoying their relationship dynamic.
