PSYCHO HEE-SOO SEME.. was in a fired as a child bc his mom commited sewercide. He grows up wondering who his benefactor is and who keeps sending him haooy t messages every year. Turns out its Tae-kyung, the boy who was a student in his mom’s class (she was a teacher). But Hee-Soo doesnt know this info yet. Hee-Soo develops this sort of attraction/obsession for Tae-Kyung over the years. Now that he has him, he wont let him go. Hee-Soo is bratty, manipulative, and suicide baits poor Tae-Kyung into giving him attention. All Tae-Kyung wanted to do was make sure Hee-Soo was safe and grew up well, since that was the promise he made to Hee-Soo’s mother before she suicided. There seems to be more to the story of her suicide. Like her possibly killing someone for some reason(money?) and she felt so guilty she burnt the church down, planning to take her son with her. Miraculously, Tae-Kyung was there, and was able to save Hee-Soo from the fire. We don’t know yet where Tae-Kyung got those lashes on his back from.
Ch 24-26 Tae-Kyung promised to be back home early so that Hee-Soo is not alone on the anniversary of his mom’s death. Tae-Kyung was staying at Aurora hotel for a week bc he didnt wanna see Hee-Soo bc he felt extremely uncomfortable after what transpired between them (Hee-Soo fingered and jerked off Tae-Kyung against his will). Tae-Kyung broke that promise of going home early bc another jurisdiction asked for the records and info regarding the mother’s fire suicide, apparently they believe there was another victim since his remains were unearthed. Tae-Kyung hand delivers the documents himself and requests to see the area where the remains were found. Why? It is unclear as of now. Whether he truly didnt know where were more remains and wanted to receive the update and see for himself, thus aiding in the case so that he has closure,, OR he somehow aided in this murder? Not sure. Anyways, this caused him to miss out on the death anniversary of the mother, leaving Hee-Soo alone. Hee-Soo feels dejected, alone, and miserable. Especially after running into his aunt, who he blames egged on his mother enough to cause her suicide. He leaves for home, but then overhears on the news that a fire broke out at the Aurora Hotel, killing 2 ppl and injuring 11. This freaks out Hee-Soo as he frantically keeps calling Tae-Kyung. Unfortunately, Tae-Kyung’s phone is broken bc he dropped it earlier and he has to stay the night somewhere bc of the snow avalanche that happened, blocking his entryway into Seoul. Hee-Soo is frantic and basically has a panic attack and cuts his palms. When Tae-Kyung finally arrives the next day, Hee-Soo is upset and angry. He is hysterical, and accuses Tae-Kyung of being just like everyone else; abandoning Hee-Soo or whatever. He threatens to kill himself once and for all unless Tae-Kyung kisses him. Of course, not wanting Hee-Soo to hurt himself, obliges. This leads to Tae-Kyung agreeing to do whatever Hee-Soo wants under the agreement that he wont kill or hurt himself. Of course, Hee-Soo wants jerjer oop. Hee-Soo is reluctant but allows it. He isnt happy to do it, but Hee-Soo is happy.
This causes Tae-Kyung to be regularly raped jerjerd by Hee-Soo
Hee-Soo knows that Tae-kyung doesnt harbor the same feelings as him, and its all just surface level to make sure he doesnt hurt himself—yet why doesnt it seem like there’s something there that gives him home?
LEFT OFF CH 29 HEE-SOO ACCIDENTALLY GETS RUN OVER BY TAE-KYUNG’S FOSTER MOM LMAO
