bruh YEAH when i read the sudden "omg im in love with dg" in bj alex i was like WHERE did that suddenly come from hahahah, him being suddenly really sweet and soft to dg was also so sudden and i just couldn't see all of that happening so fast w/o much of a sign of feelings other than petty jealousy when they were still having sex. like jiwon really didn't see dg as human,,, ever,,, and was such a shithead to him even tho dg had never done anything bad to jiwon.
on the other hand taehwan has an established past with yeonwoo, was betrayed by someone he trusted (which is really painful and can cause intense hatred/dislike just because of how violated and betrayed he felt)
oops sent w/o finishing: and despite his justified hatred for yeonwoo he still ends up showing his feelings for yeonwoo through his actions (though his thoughts are super,,, in denial). he also has seen yeonwoo as human (and even as a good person) back in high school so it's not as sudden or weird that he's catching feelings now
Some of ya'll got to go back and read season 1 so you can get a better insight of Taewhan. And I'm not talking about starting at chapter 47. I mean read the whole thing. And to those comparing this to BJ Alex, Jiwon was such a bigger asshole to DG. He had no feelings whatsoever. Until like chapter 55 and he does a weird 180. Here in Banana Scandal, Taewhan is an asshole. But we know he has feelings AND a soft side. We have gotten to see behind his mask. How?
1: Invited Dojin to his parents house for a holiday weekend (and how Taehee first met Dojin)
2: Sided with Dojin in the whole Sangjin controversy (chapter 48), because they all knew S was an asshole. Thats how they became friends. And Taewhan began to trust Dojin because of how Dojin reacted to Sangjin.
3: Taewhan helped Taehee GET RID of Sangjin. Taehee turned to his brother for help and Taewhan was able to get stuff on him so Taehee could push him off of campus.
4: Taewhan loves his brother! (Enough to share a bed!) He's so protective of his brother! He helped Taehee get into school, gave him a roof over his head, and was upset when he wasn't told about him and Dojin!
5: Dojin FUCKING HITS HIM WITH A BOOK. Granted, only Dojin has the guts to do it. But after Dojin hits him and starts crying, Taewhan gets worried about him. He also recognizes Taehee's love for Dojin when he comes in.
In season 2, we learn that Taewhan felt a special attachment to Yeonwu. That he cherished the moments that they spent in that study room. We know that they were close. But Yeonwu did the #1 thing that Taewhan hates- TOUCH HIM IN HIS SLEEP! (as said in the TMI blurbs at the end of chapter 90. Like...Did no one pay attention to that, Dolsha gave us a huge insight on Taewhan!). Not only did Yeonwu touch Taewhan, HE KISSED HIM. That created a huge fallout. Yeonwu was going to let it go, but opportunity to FUCK HIS FIRST LOVE came and who would turn that down? ITS FUCKING TAEWHAN WOO! This whole thing is in Yeonwu's hands as much as it is Taewhan's. (And now we're learning that Taewhan doesn't want to let Yeonwu go again.) This is such a good story, it’s not just about the smut.
