For anyone who's seen the raws, did the cat thing happen before or after jihwan choked his schoolmate?

    Oh that's really terrible. I wouldn't have wanted to see that at all but I do wonder why the cut it out of the English version. It really alters the way I feel about jihwan

    Totally, makes Jihwan more sinister because he actually cared about the cat, and felt identified with it.
    I think it was too triggering. The author got many negative comments in that specific chapter in the official Korean site. I think they forgot to put the warning at the beginning so it was edited days later. Not sure if they removed the cat part too after the negative comments in the Korean version. But the unofficial / illegal raws have still that part.

    Ya the comments I previously saw mentioning something being done to the cat surprised me because jihwan had been feeding and caring for it. If i remember correctly he seemed to enjoy it too. I'm honestly kinda shocked by this. I had been thinking his personality issues stemmed from growing up in such an abusive environment and experiencing a lot of trauma. And I could somewhat understand him acting out against his schoolmate like that because his mother literally did it to him and he was young, confused, and hadn't been taught right from wrong correctly. Killing a cat on the other hand..... different story. I really hadn't been putting much stock in the whole psychopath thing but killing small animals in childhood is often a calling card. This could be a case of the creator being unfamiliar with these psychological disorders/not doing enough research, but there had been glimpses of jihwan having what looked like empathy or care for sooyoung throughout so I'm finding this very surprising and disappointing. It also makes me scared for soo young. I don't want him to suffer any more than he already has.
