My theory is that Taehwan was attracted to Yeonwu in high school and is constantly fighting himself with that so he takes it out of Yeonwu
*Not that it makes it okay for Yeonwu to kiss him as he's asleep*
I think that Yeonwu got caught being gay with Taehwan when they weren't in a relationship and that tarnished Taehwan's popularity, so that's why he's mad at Yeonwu and is avoiding him is college.
Yes thats what i was saying. SAY IT LOUDER.
I can actually understand why taehwan gets so mad everytime he sees yeonwu
This ain't it. Homophobia and internalized homophobia are MILES AWAY in the way they perform. He's not straight up homophobic just for the sake of it, it's pretty damn clear there's more to it (at least for a keen eye?). He's got trauma. It was confirmed in the raws aswell already that there's an actual reason for it (which has nothing to do with Yeonwu). Internalised homophobia always stems from trauma, and affects people differently. But YOU'RE not ready for that talk i guess
I don't really think its internalized homophobia. In fact, Taehwan never even said the word "gay" in a negative connotation (I think). I think its more the fact that Yeonwoo kissed him while he was sleeping in high school and climbed on top of him in college. That's sexual assault. THAT'S what's disgusting. Him showing his true nature. This is where the stereotypes come into play because people think "bottoms" are weak and fickle, so them being assaulters isn't something that would happen. But no one wants to have that conversation. Taehwan befriended a person just to get take advantage of. Trust me, I love Yeonwoo more than anyone but this "internalized homophobia" shit is getting on my nerves because Yeonwoo isn't the victim, Taehwan is. And now he's getting seen as homophobic just because he's frustrated.
