You do realize that he has some serious PTSD related to his past life, when he was viciously attacked and had acid thrown in his face due to rumors, photographs and people talking about him online, right? Or did you forget? Because it is a legitimate thing for him to still hold fear over. PTSD isn't always rational when it attacks, and it is not something easily gotten over.
I really don't blame him though, in the early chapter he's still getting used to having a second chance to fix his past mistakes, after all not only did intentionally get someone to commit su!cide but he got splashed with ACID, his sponsor left him, his manager already was gonna leave him and he had no one anymore and commuted su!cide in his bath tub. That's some serious trauma that he has to remember for the rest of his life even in the latest chapters ( im taking this way too seriously )
im on ch 35 and oh my god its so fucking annoying when nokyoung gets scared of ppl talking abt him on the internet. its so corny when the comments calling him ugly and the picture of him with a big red x over his face show up in the background. like we get it hes scared of ppl's opinions abt him but its like we're 7 yr olds and the author has to show us the comments from when he was attacked w acid for us to dirrectly correlate nokyong being anxious abt his public image to when he was attacked.
