It was impacting Taku, he had a lot insecurities from that, and would have eventually become resentful. He talked about how the kiss tasted bitter, and I think that bitterness would have ultimately grown. Imo Taku still being single wasn't a bad thing either. He stated he was happy, and I'm sure he needed time to move on. There's time line for when to love again after heartbreak. Three years seems like a lot but it doesnt mean he was always alone. I think a person like him isn't searching for a partner, they just need to be open to the experience when the right person comes along.
Haesoo's lasting feelings for Joowon as impacting Taku, he had a lot insecurities from that, and would have eventually become resentful. He talked about how the kiss tasted bitter, and I think that bitterness would have ultimately grown. Imo Taku still being single wasn't a bad thing either. He stated he was happy, and I'm sure he needed time to move on. There's no time line for when to love again after heartbreak. Three years seems like a lot but it doesnt mean he was always alone in that time. I think a person like him isn't someone that needs a partner to be happy. Some people feel the need to constantly search when single for a partner. Someone like Taku just needs to be open to the experience when the right person comes along, and I think he would be.
Most readers, which are actually mostly korean (this mamhwa is much bigger in kr) like haesoo x joowon the most. so youre not in the minority at all.
And yeah totally agree with you!
Maybe I'm one of the few but I was happy with him ending up with Joowon. They loved each other from the start of their relationship but between, age, guilt, insecurities, and pressure from families both were too immature to know how to act. Their failure to truly trust each other, and past experiences turned their relationship toxic. Even still they were deeply in love and lashed out at each other to hide their pain, and punish each other for holding back what each other needed/wanted. I think with Joowon he truly felt the life they were living was the only way they could be together which was really all he cared about. It was sad because Haesoo didnt know Joowon's true feelings and thought they were more shallow that they truly were. Even when Haesoo was with Taku he was haunted by his love for Joowon. Cont in rep
