Not saying taewhan is a saint but
Spoiler
Yeonwu kissed him in high school WITHOUT his consent and triggered (he didnt know that) his trauma. Taewhan is an obvious closeted bi boy that surpresses his own feelings most of the time but him and yeonwu even bicker sometimes around and are character wise quite compatible. You can also see that yeonwu doesnt love taewhan yet ve just dwells on the past alot

THANK. YOU. its been only you and MAYBE 2 other people in the comments that are actually reading Yeonwoo and Taehwan correctly. Taehwan isnt a bad person, he's friendly to everyone and not fake. but he has some serious hangups and stuff he's buried that we don tknow about yet. its obv his coldness to yeonwoo is cause of what yeon woo did to him in HS. i can understand how people misread them if they havent seen the raws but people who've read the raws and main series should be able to see that this isnt a case of a conceited guy who uses people for his own gain taking advantage of a pure hearted innocent boy as his sex toy or something. Yeonwoo has full agency. and his crush on Taehwan isnt some deep unrequited love. it is just a crush. and he is genuinely a masochist. we saw him block that blonde guy. he's able to have casual sex and also able to draw his own boundaries. not like taehwan is never cruel or hurtful but its mainly with his words not their sexual interactions, THOSE are the main draw for Yeonwoo rn, the sex itself. there's a great line where Yeonwoo says he's happy to monopolize Taehwan's contempt since he's not nice to everyone else BUT yeonwoo (cause of their history), like he's def enjoying the attention Taehwan is giving him even tho its not nice. idk their dynamic is rly interesting cause Yeonwoo is soft and unassuming but not innocent and pure. Taehwan is a generally friendly decent person but with a serious dark side that it seems only Yeonwoo has gotten the full view of. but im sure Dojin and Taehee have seen some glimpses. and ofc Taehee explained back in like chpt 50 that Taehwan has issues with Gay Guys cause of bullying from his youth (not some moral objection to queers), the bullying was likely in his childhood well before he met yeonwoo in HS but i wouldnt be surprised if the traumatic iincident was ALSO related to the horrible bullying he also experienced. if one somehow fed into the other. i'm both excited and scared of finding out what happened with Taehwan but i suspect it will explain alot about why he is...how he is. both good and bad traits. anyway i suspect his relationship with Yeonwoo and the reappearance of Ponytail Ahjussi (a guy from his past tho we dont know who he was to taehwan yet) will be what forces Taehwan to reckon with that aspect of himself. and i feel like comparing this to BJ Alex is an insult to this writer. She honestly clearly puts alot of thought into characterization and story and details and realism that BJ Alex wasnt rly interested in tbh. like BJ Alex was ok but this story is like...Actually good lol. like as a story and not just a comic with gay sex in it.
I feel like the majority of ppl here r painting taewhan out as the most toxic human being in the world when actually in the raws you can see that yeonwu enjoys the sex alot. Taewhan suffers from trauma (we only got a glimpse of it) and isnt even being a complete ass to him hes just very cold. Yeonwu isnt our average uke that cries around and loves taewhan to death hes very realistic and down to earth (unlike dg who forced himself most of the time to enjoy the sex w jiwon no hate to bj alex i love it alot) But stop saying uts like bj alex or very toxic when its really not the case
