Jaewoo was the one who got close to ohn. Saewoo always asks jaewoo to pretend to be him when he's to incapable of doing things himself, he always helps saewoo even tho he hates. Saewoo literally begged him to deceive ohn and spent a lot of time with him so he will fall for jaewoo, jaewoo catching feelings for ohn and being selfish for once is nothing we can blame him for
*hates it
THIS.that's why i can't blame Jaewoo for falling inlove to Ohn
Blaming him for catching feelings, no, blaming him for lying to Ohn, acting sus while he got a whole partner. Not telling his bro he caught feelings but instead using his bro "shyness" to play the woo that Ohn bonded with? And (this one is not his fault but communication is the key) not explaining to his brother how he feels about his identity being erased, wanting to be recognized for who he is because he feels like he needs to compensate for his brother "flaws"... Well yes.
Don't let me stared on Saewoo case because But they are cute so wathever.
Poor Ohn gonna have major trust issues when he learns the truth
this is what i mean. speak your truth icon
jaewoo doesn't have a partner. If ur refereeing to that one guy he was with at the bar that one chapter , they are or were sex friends. And yes, jaewoo is lying to ohn but the one who wanted to start this was saewoo. Saewoo was the one who begged his brother to deceive his crush. Throughout their whole brotherhood, saewoo was the one receiving all the attention and saewoo was the one saying that jaewoo was practically made to be in his shadow and to play him when his to incapable to do something. Saewoo never thought about Jaewoos feelings when he asked him for a "favor", he always expected jaewoo do what he wants because he's the "invisible" brother. Jaewoo never acted selfish .This is the first time he's doing something for himself. It's true that he should have told saewoo that he catshed feelings but they shouldn't have started this whole thing in the first place. I feel really sorry for ohn 'cause like u said, he's gonna have a hell of trust issues.
imagine you have a brother who has social anxiety because of all the bullying he suffered. he asks for help because he's in love for the first time. then you go and stab his back. as someone with social anxiety myself i know for sure i couldn't deal with this type of betrayal. his brother is the only person he trusts and jaewoo chose to be a bitch to him. honestly, defending something like that is being as bad as him.
having social anxiety is not an excuse to use ur little brother like u want and expect him to do what ever u ask just because u think that he was made to be used by u. Saewoo said that jaewoo was practically made to be him, when he to incapable of doing something himself. I have social anxiety too and I was bullied too but that doesn't mean that I can let other people do stuff for me, that I actually should do myself. justifying ones pathetic behavior by saying that they have social anxiety is bullshit and Saewoo is not an angel for God's sake, hes really selfish and seems to not give a single damn about how jaewoo feels. Jaewoo has always been helping saewoo even if he hated it... Sure, jaewoo backstabbing him like that wasn't okay but that's fully on saewoo. I don't dislike saewoo but saying that he's the victim and that jaewoo is the only asshole is just wrong.
But if I'm not wrong he said that when they still were pretty young right.
Said so because that's what their parents told them.
Because he was a fragile child he was raised to live everything through his brother because he was such a "weak" child then got bullied for being the way he is. And while Saewoo thinks his brother is leaving the best life Jaewoo also is suffering from it.
That's why they would need communication.
Still what Jaewoo did is wrong no matter what.
It's wrong to lie to Ohn but Saewoo has always lived this way they both always lived that way and so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't actually understood how wrong it was to do something like that especially to Ohn who has such a big trauma regarding men and trusting men. (doesn't make it right until they take accountability for what they did)
But Jaewoo has been acting quite like a jerk. Firstly he is around that other guy because he is the only one that actually recognize him as Jaewoo but (unless they give more info) he is so disrespectful towards him and his feelings.
He is the guy that treated Ohn badly during high school too, and his inner thoughts always showed how he felt towards his brother so yeah I guess it makes you feel bad for him.
I don't specially like Saewoo but Jaewoo is a big guy who decided to help his brother even if he didn't want to, went along with wathever, and he planned how to deceive Ohn as well.
Even though he is the more "level-headed" sibling
I'm just here hoping Ohn will not hurt too much.
But that's literally the plot so there's no real need to side with either of the brothers. I mean it just so entertaining and the each character is slightly morally ambiguous so it's funnier to read really interesting
woe, he's such a bitch. with a brother like this you don't need enemies, huh?
