I don't know about most people, but I think I would be so offended. Like, in my opinion, he did it also cause he likes/loves Jiho and wanted to prove it to him by giving him what he wanted...but I would hate it and I bet Jiho is hating it too, cause I would feel like I wasn't good enough to compete with them, like I cheated and didn't earn my victory
I was going to point the same thing. If that was me I would be very offended. It's like the other person don't think you're good enough and I know Woohyuk did that bc he loves Jiho but it's still messed up.
That's exactly my point, it's as if they aren't taking us serious if that happened
I know Woohyuk is the type to do stuff for Jiho to win and I admit that is pretty "sweet" as told by other commenters BUT the thing is, if you were in Jiho's position giving your best to win and your opponent wants you to win by sabotaging themselves, to be honest, that makes you feel like shit imagine the other person having to intentionally lose because they're just better than you. Idk instead of being grateful I'd feel offended that we didn't fight fair and square, knowing that the opponent didn't do their best. Jiho knows this, he wants to win but his pride is holding him back, he wants to win by his own means, winning because your opponent let you just doesn't sound right, it actually got mentioned in the other chapters where Woohyuk said "If you want me lose on purpose then just tell me" and Jiho said "Then lose on purpose for me" but he didn't actually think that Woohyuk would lose on purpose then here we are
I think some people are gonna disagree with me because my points are not strong enough but eh you get the picture, I'm not only talking about Jiho and Woohyuk fighting against each other, I was also referring in real life like in a competition or anything really, when faced with an opponent like that, it can really offend you no matter how good it might be, it's just a matter of pride really.
