I didn't know using the body of someone asleep to satisfy one's need could count as being considerate lmao.
His homophobia isn't the only issue with him, the guy is like the antipode of the expression "prevention is better than cure", he only reflects after doing something bad, instead of trying to think for once and not do that said bad thing. Garam is trying to stop things from getting messy, and there's nothing wrong with that, they're not in a committed relationship.
I intentionally didn’t include that bc that’s inexcusable… even though that cannonally wasn’t the last straw for Garam anyway so I think that point was irrelevant to my argument. I think you’re missing my point tbh.
G is trying to stop things before his feelings further develop, despite them agreeing to be shallow in how they benefit off each other. Though Garam being mad that J is shallow is weird bv he knew that before they got to FWB. Also, where I think people are lacking the grace yall give G is that J obviously never needed to be as thoughtful bc things were handed to him. In the instance where it isn’t he’s trying to be considerate to understand why and compromise. G already had the emotional awareness and is now being oddly immature under the facade of defense which is what his friends called him out for. J was already immature and it’s strange that yall expect him to be good at something he is trying to learn to do for the first time. Just bc you know what the wrong thing to do is doesn’t mean you’ll immediately be able to do the right thing.
It is relevant lol, you can't possibly be trying to use the word "considerate" when he's just doing the bare minimum after having noncon sex just because he wanted to, you can't pick and choose things just coz it fits your narrative better and leave important details behind.
Stopping a "shallow" fuck buddy relationship coz someone caught feeling is literally the best course of action, especially since Garam doesn't want anything serious, idk what's so hard to understand. And the way you're just acting as if people were saying Garam was sinless when you're the one trying to paint Jaehyuk, a grown ass man, as someone we can't blame coz he doesn't know better, like he was some 7 y.o having tantrums, is hilariously ridiculous. He isn't trying to learn, he only does things when it serves his own interest.
Granted J does need to correct the imbedded homophobia (which I think he is doing, he just regresses when jealous or Garam hurts his feelings), other than that he’s been attentive and mostly considerate by interacting with G. in the love languages that come naturally to him. And for the most part his actions are louder than his words.
Garam on the other hand is not as innocent/deserved as much grace as I think yall are giving him. I’m glad his 2 friends called him out on putting distance and blame on J to avoid dealing with his own feelings. He can’t be upset at J being shallow as a person if he’s just as shallow as a partner (only got in this for a big peen). They both need to be more honest; J in communication and Garam with himself and then J.
