I'm aware it's portrayed all the time in BL, but I'm going to say it anyways as a reminder: Wonderboy over here shouldn't have had sex with the main character who was still under the influence of alcohol. That, my friends, is rape. And now that we've established that, feel free to do what you will. In other words, I'm not criticizing anyone for liking or reading this manga. I just want people to be aware that shit like this should not fly irl.
Jihyun can take his shitty personality and flush it down the toilet where it belongs.
You want him to end up with Chiwoo? Fine. It's fiction and none of my business. But when you attempt to justify his behavior by saying he cares for Chiwoo or he's "misunderstood", that's where you're mistaken.
Jihyun doesn't care about Chiwoo. He cares about himself, and at this point, his so-called "love" for Chiwoo is just an extension of his own ego.
If he actually cared for or loved Chiwoo, he would listen to him and respect his feelings. He wouldn't lash out every time he didn't get his way, and he wouldn't manipulate Chiwoo with lies like "I won't do it again" only to stick around him and repeat the same abusive behavior.
Most of all, he would not assault him, and then turn around and say "It's your fault" to Chiwoo. By blaming the victim of his actions, he purposely avoids taking responsibility for hurting them (btw this is a very common trait of abusers and rapists).
All this to say, if you want Chiwoo to have a happy, healthy relationship, then he shouldn't have to sacrifice his friendships, personal space, and well-being for Jihyun's obsession.
Well that would be true if everyone had the same knowledge of love, it's not really up to anyone else to dictate what can be known as love. Not to mention there is no reason as to why he would cling on Chiwoo for his so called ego, if that was so he would surround himself with people who showed him in compliment and admiration. What he feels for Chiwoo is love, just a very misconstrued and possessive kind of love, I don't know how you can't see it but he does love him he's just not going about in a proper manner at all. Jihyun is just an overprotective and possessive puppy who continually begs his owner to stay home until the point where if his own was to bring anyone else home he would bite as a very crude analogy. His love for Chiwoo is very fucked up and abusive but it is still love. It's weird that way
But he never treats him as an object. There is a difference between obsession and possessive, Jihyun doesn't start to act aggressive until he notices Chiwoo was avoiding him and it added fuel to the fire when he noticed he was giving his attention to someone else. If anything it escalated to obsession when Jihyun did what he did.
Girl you’re right on one part :who are we to decide what love is ..ok fair point but you see what we all do know if he have atleast half a brain cell is Consent is super duper important like I don’t know how to stress this enough so is chiwoo ever feels unsafe around his own man or “friend” is there isn’t a equal balance of power which starts abusive and toxic relationships So we can’t be defending a attempted rapist out here but u do see where you are coming from cause I do wanna like jihyun but I can’t
I didn't blame Chiwoo I stated a fact he did start to avoid Jihyun and Jihyun did react negatively when he found out. You're assume that because my statement is going against yours that I'm defending Jihyun when all I'm saying is that everyone wants to think of love as a pure warm thing when that's not always the case. Love can be twisted and fucked up and that's the kinda love Jihyun feels never the less it's still love. There may be elements of obsession and codependency but it's still love.
Haesoo - Aquarius
Joowon - Leo
Taku - Scorpio
Personally, I think the author thought this out because, to me, it fits.
Allow me to explain (●'◡'●)ノ
Horoscopes, also known as astrological and/or natal charts, refers to the prediction of events based on the location and movement of the celestial bodies, including the Sun, Moon, and planets.
Such events include birthdays which determine an individual's astrological sign. For example, Haesoo was born on January 30th (as stated in chapter 21.5), when the sun is positioned in Aquarius. Therefore, his Sun sign is Aquarius. So what does this mean? Well, Sun signs supposedly represent our conscious mind or ego based in reason rather than instinct. In other words, it's our basic identity.
As an Aquarian, Haesoo is individualistic, assertive, independent, original, eccentric, intellectual, idealistic, cool, and friendly but detached. He is growth-oriented and "unwilling to follow the beaten track". I could go more into the characteristics of Aquarius (as I'm one myself) and why I think it fits Haesoo, but we'd be here all day. However, if you want to know more there's plenty of resources online.
Leos (Joowon's sign) are known for their regal qualities, and are thought to be strong leaders, which also means they are reputedly conceited and authoritative. They can appear lazy at times, but they're actually hard-working when it comes down to it. Leos are generally motivated by affections towards other people, so they have big dreams/plans to make people happy. But they have a tendency to hold onto situations and people for too long. Sound familiar?
As for Scorpios (Taekyung's sign), they're known for their intensity, determination, and perceptiveness. They throw themselves into whatever they do; their primary motivation, "real" power different from prestige or authority. Scorpios know what they want, but they're patient and strategic in how they get it. They're not afraid to explore the "darker" sides of life, and because they have tremendous willpower, they never give up and aren't intimidated. In my experience, Scorpios are the hardest sign to guess because they tend to be private about things.
Anyways, I think these signs are very fitting for these three. Of course, Sun signs are not all-encompassing (there's also Moon signs which represent inner self), and whether you believe in it is up to you. I find it's a fun way to pass the time and contemplate the world. As for compatibility, well yes, there are some horoscope writings out there which discuss compatibility of sun signs, but there too many other factors for it them to be determinate imo. If you read all that, congrats! Have a cookie :)
Tfw his "straight question" is actually not "straight" at all.
