Damn, I love how Garam loves and pays attention to the professor. For him to be aware that he was involved to some extent just by listening to his way of speaking about the situation. BRAVOOOOO!! You’re a wife Garam, you know your man.
As someone said from the comments, now that his Gem has suffered the yelling and humiliation from someone else now it’s wrong. I don’t know how many years have passed since Heejae humiliate and yell to Garam, bc now it’s just praising and nagging to improve that maybe that’s why his hears are finally listening. I understand Heejae’s motives to show Compton’s true colors and his cult leader behavior after getting his babe yelled but man, those people were going to talk about him at some point without your involvement.
I hope Garam can tell the professor what a fucking hypocrite he has been, and to oblige him to do something nice for Compton.
Which in his discussion about him in previous chapters on how he couldn’t understand what was Jeffrey thinking makes their relationship more complicated. Jeffrey wanted to become the professor, the professor was annoyed by why he was trying to become a copycat of his sound… in a way I understand, we are unique but the way he wanted to bring Jeffrey’s own sound was definitely harsh and torturous. Still, in his own way professor had some sort of respect that disappeared once he moved to be a conductor. Kind of giving up in Heejae’s eyes. Could this be maybe the point of no return for Compton where he once again touches a piano? I hope so. (⊙…⊙ )
Ugh my heart is divided. As someone who needs constant reassurance with words I understand Garam. As someone who has a partner who doesn’t say it that much because he finds it empty, I understand the professor.
But the professor will say it, I know he will. But those words will mean maybe nothing, it’s the actions, the attitude, the change in his life the way he shows it.
For some people saying words could be meaningless, just sounds in the air, what counts is how you behave but it’s here in how you behave that then you start saying it to reassure the other person.
Professor, I love you, and I know you’ll do the right thing but it will take time.
