It's not controversial. Many have believed yahwi is the reason Jooin is like how he is now. It's just everytime someone mentions it the comment gets drown out by the repetitive "the story still going/end already" comments, along with people constantly hating Jooin comments
I also really hate the trauma excuse trope. Yahwi has childhood and personal trauma. That doesn’t excuse what he did to Jooin. Jooin approached their relationship at Yahwi’s pushing in good faith, and only got pushed around, ignored, and discounted. Even when they apologize, it’s almost always about their emotions, their feelings of loss, what they want to regain.
Not controversial, just most of the comments are Cain stans that never go beyond "Jooin hurt Cain >:(."
I agre with everything tou said honestly, Yawhi really is the villain. Jooin literally needs therapy now or some kind of peace after Yawhi hurt him. Cain circumstances also don't help. As great as he'd be for Jooin, i think he pursued a little to hard and too soon after Yawhi. And the guilt of leaving his family for him isn't gonna kake Jooin feel any better.
I honestly think the author accidentally created a mentally and emotionally complicated situation out of pursuit of drama that will never have a satisfying or sane end
Not sure if this is a controversial take or not, but I genuinely believe that Yahwi broke Jooin down emotionally to the point that he was no longer capable of believing in or pursuing a relationship with him, Cain, or anyone else for the foreseeable future. Yahwi’s carelessness, callousness, and emotional whiplash deeply hurt (and traumatized?) Jooin to the point where he lost the capacity to trust or believe in relationship and now he is so emotionally drained and distrustful that he even pushed Cain away despite their strong potential for a healthy and loving supportive relationship after Jooin and Yahwi split. I know Yahwi has trauma, but that doesn’t give you a pass to deliberately treat people like shit. All three of them have personal and communication issues, but in my opinion, even though he doesn’t necessarily intend to be, Yahwi is the villain
