absolutely. also, if jaehee is still in love with huilin, she could've realized that long before sulhwa came into the story. huilin herself stated that it wasn't the first time she's been with jaehee even though jaehee has a lover. so they've been cheating back then, which might have gave jaehee the time to realize her feelings to huilin but to no avail.
jaehee never had that "guilt" in the first place. she cheated multiple times but why is she stopping now? it's not because of her guilt for sulhwa. she could've gave in even if she's feeling guilty since sulhwa is miles away from them and the person right in front of her is huilin but nope, she didn't. that's clearly not guilt. that's much deeper than it. who the fuck would reject the person they "love" so casually without flinching face to face while thinking abt another person who is currently miles away from them?
if jaehee still loves huilin, she could have gave in right at that moment. some are thinking that guilt is what jaehee feels towards sulhwa but jaehee never had that "guilt" in the first place. she cheated multiple times before in her previous relationships so why is she stopping now? clearly, it's not because of guilt.
if she is still in love with huilin, her supposed guilt towards sulhwa who is not with them at that time would be nothing. she could've accepted huilin without thinking abt anyone else but nope, this is the first time that jaehee fought back. why the fuck would you reject the person you love so casually without even flinching face to face while thinking abt a person who is miles away from you at that very moment? that's not guilt! that's so much deeper than guilt. she chose sulhwa.
oh i thought my first reply was deleted so i sent another one. please ignore the second reply omfg i just repeated what i said
" that's clearly not guilt. that's much deeper than i "
thisssssssss I said guilt earlier because it's what only what seem apparent, but it's not really guilt, she just wants to be worthy of Sulhwa in my opinion.
"who the fuck would reject the person they "love" so casually without flinching face to face while thinking abt another person who is currently miles away from them?"
no one does that clearly. you can say guilt can do that but once again.. We're talking about Jaehee here, guilt wouldn't have been enough to prevent her from sinking in again. It has to be something way stronger.
fuck i cant wait to see their next interaction together(sulhwa/jaehee) .-.
haha no worries
i want to see jaehee and sulhwa flirting with each other again. i want to see them happy.
Y'all act like Jaehee did anything wrong here, she's completely drunk, lost, and having existential crisis and Huilin just coming and taking profit of the situation.
It's not Jaehee's fault, Huilin should not have done that. + Jaehee did not exactly reciprocate the kiss, look at the last panel how she is standing and her arms.
We'll have to see the following panels in the next chapter to be sure it's heading that way, but imo there are two possible scenarios for next chapter :
- Jaehee pulls off, and have a real conversation with Huilin.(or she just pass out lol)
or
- Jaehee doesn't do anything but she shows she is feeling bad, Huilin see it and doesn't take it further, and they have a talk another day after Jaehee cleared her thoughts.
If you remember Chapter 56, and even many chapters before, Jaehee hints that she needs to overcome her relationship with Huilin, because it's toxic and only something she uses to get away from reality. In order to become a better person she will have to put an end to it for good.
Another thing giving credit to this, is that in this chapter she thinks back to the question Sulhwa asked "Why did you leave Huilin?", we kind of know why but Jaehee never vocalized it, so plot-wise it's a hint it's going to be answered, and now is the perfect time.
