That’s how I feel. It isn’t the ooohh feel good type of ending but it’s more realistic which is nice. I think it’s hard for some people in the comments to understand just how much it hurt him that obviously he isn’t just going to be like “okay! Since we’re in love and have feelings for each other that makes everything rainbow and I forgive everything!!” Like? It was *5* y e a r s. He felt like those 5 years had suddenly become a lie in some way or another, even if he found of that lots of the guy’s actions had reason behind them. Just bc someone had a good reason for something doesn’t mean that the action doesn’t hurt /:
Honestly, I think it really fits to cut the story here, it's not forgiveness on Baeks part, but he's choosing his priorities. His Friend is more important to him, than that anger he feels - that's neither unhealthy nor unrealistic, it's an informed decision and it has my full support.
Leaving it open like that, might be resolved with the side stories or it might not get a definitiv ending at all, that's fine too, a fairytale happy-ever-after would be far from believable at this point and also is not that impactful in most cases.
