This is actually such a great depiction of emotional abuse. To us, as outsiders, it's so obvious. And to Jooyoung it's pretty obvious too, but because of the time he's spent with that guy, and how intimately they know each other, plus his own insecurities, he can't help wondering if it's all his fault somehow. His brain is so exhausted that it doesn't know real from fake. It's incredibly sad and upsetting, but also so real in a way I didn't expect to see.
Fr this ep made me cry. Abusers are always painted as monsters in media but irl they’re just normal people. It’s hard to leave because you see just how human they are, especially when they’re not being abusive. People don’t leave because their abuser isn’t cartoonishly evil all the time, and the guilt/ attachment is real :( Jooyeong is so relatable it hurts to read
nooooooo bc now geonwu is going to have a hard time finding a job (bc discrimination and whatever other bullshit about teachers controlling uncontrollable pheromones) and taejun won't know the kid is his and there will be a million misunderstandings and UGH
