My friends have said it has been a facade for months. He is secretly a green flag. If you take these facts and go back and read again you will see the situations different and how he is seeking an emotion connection with Dan.
So his additional to the contract is a facade too. Don't take what he said at face value try to understand his meaning. Like when he said he hates flowers. He may hate flowers but he could love flowers. He was mad that someone give Dan flowers. Instead of saying he was jealous "I hate flowers". You have read in-between the lines with him.
He is a tsundere and indirect with his feelings.
In this chapter (44), you will see he is concerned with how Dan has been acting. One of my friends says he is actually a puppy seme. if you read chapter 44 again there would be hints of it. You just have to look at Jaekyung in the right way to understand him but that will not justify or excuse his bad behavior.
Naw man, that doesn’t explain how rough he is with Dan, no type of aftercare. Him taking his frustrations that has nothing to with Dan on him. Not to mention what he did to him in front of that idol to help his ego. Cool he’s hiding his feelings and all, but no sane person what put someone through that. Especially if they have feelings
Naw man, you are taking two pieces of the puzzle and trying to slam them together. "You just have to look at Jaekyung in the right way to understand him but that will not justify or excuse his bad behavior." Did you understand that?
It is not a complete facade. He acts like a man-child who needs to be taught in different ways. Jaekyung is experienced in sex but it seems he is inexperienced in other departments. At this point, with what little we have he may never had a real relationship before. Some things he had a relationship with that hurt him. But read back with the knowledge here and you will see the situations differently it will not explain everything because you need some other hints and things we don't have yet.
But don't tell me nah when it is in fact the truth.
Do you know what tsundere is?
No type of aftercare? What is aftercare? Aftercare refers to time spent cuddling, talking, and taking care of your partner after sex.
They are not boyfriends yet. They are in a contract relationship. However, he has many times taking care of Dan.
They were having sex in the pool, Dan passed out. When Dan woke up where was he? Did an elf put him there?
When the Doctor checked on Dan, who fed Dan?
When Dan was drug, was he in messy unclean sheets or placed like a prince in the center covered up?
When Dan had bruises who gave him a tube to help him heal?
I bet when Dan passed out the first time, you thought Jaekyung left him on the floor and the doctor put him in the bed?
There are many times he listened and took care of Dan.
----"him taking his frustrations that has nothing to with Dan on him. "
People take out frustrations on people. Some people trolls to take out their frustrations on strangers who had nothing to do with it. They need a better way to deal with those feelings. But it common and even married couples do this.
"Not to mention what he did to him in front of that idol to help his ego."
How does that do anything to what I said? and I said it does not justify or excuse his bad behavior? Did you read both comments? You are wrong it was not to help his ego. He will regret that but he did that because of his fears and afraid of losing Dan. He has insecurities.
"Possessiveness is fundamentally a fear of loss. Possessive people worry that their partners will leave them. This creates feelings of fear, anger, and sadness." "Possessiveness often stems from insecurities related to attachment styles. People with attachment anxiety tend to have a negative view of themselves and a positive view of others. They worry that their partners can’t be trusted. They have a chronic fear of rejection. "
If he went that far, his fear of rejection is deep. https://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/signs-possessiveness
"Cool he’s hiding his feelings and all, but no sane person what put someone through that. Especially if they have feelings,"
unfortunately, they do and it is because they do have feelings. They would not do that if they didn't have any feelings. They would not care.
He would not push away the threat or protected Dan from it. He could had very easily said they were a item or he had feelings for Dan but he did something stupid. It is all do to his fear of rejection and insecurities.
Now being rough with Dan. He is used to having rough sex and Dan knew it would be rough but he did not change that.
Let's throw that one out.
The soda can someone said something about a Jock. But hey some does bully the ones they love. I wshed he did not pour that soda on him. I would call that rough but I will ask the one that talk about their friend that is a jock. i forgot what they said.
Slamming his head in the pillow or against the wall (that left no bruises)... He is in the wrong. This behavior is more not knowing better. Man-child. He needs to be taught it is wrong.
He has some deep issues. One is insecurity. He has learn to be rough. Do you know he has trigger? He felt like a loser and he had to now prove he is not. Whatever happen he has raise above but in a toxic way. Some of it a facade to protect him. He probably has lost himself too. He has to deal with those issues in a better way. He has to learn how to treat Dan better.
I hope this is more insights and explains what I meant better.
I am reading his character as is. I am glad everyone is different and it is not like he has murdered Dan's family or confided him. In real life, there are people worse than Jaekyung ever was or be. Maybe you should reflect on your comment and what you just did. You dismissed the story and what I wrote to make a ridiculous biased argument claiming someone is reading too much into his character because you hate the story or Jaekyung. Time to be an adult. But that is the difference between a hater and a genuine reader. Thanks for sharing not take your opinion and comments seriously.
You're being delusional.. There's nothing wrong with liking Jaekyung, he is a fictional character. But you are trying to reinvent his personality and act like he's an entirely different person from the one he is. Jaekyung is not nice. He behaves in an abusive, toxic, disrespectful and criminal way at times. No "facade" justifies, changes or reverses his actions when he is behaving in a way that directly affects others. So if you are going to like him then face the facts of the type of person he is, otherwise what you are liking is not him but some twisted sugar-coated version.
I decide to go back.......
"You're being delusional.."
False. You put "being". Thank you that means you are focused on my actions and words instead of attacking me. That gave you some points.
"There's nothing wrong with liking Jaekyung, he is a fictional character."
I have said this over and over but it is sin here on Mangago. You can't be neutral or positive about him without being attacked that has been since we were allowed to comment.
This give you points.
"But you are trying to reinvent his personality and act like he's an entirely different person from the one he is. ""
RED FLAG! RED FLAG! I did not reinvent his personality. I just understand the story better. It is like when Harry Potter was being created. Many of those Snape was helping Harry because they picked up on hints. They were attacked and guess what... They were right. Just because someone else can pick up on details does not make them reinventing his personality or make him an entirely different person.
"Jaekyung is not nice." He has bad behavior but he has good behavior. He is not nice all the time.
"He behaves in an abusive, toxic, disrespectful, and criminal way at times."
Behaves. That you a behavior you can change. He has behaved abusive and toxic and disrespectful and criminal at times. Thank you for "behaves" and "at times". But could you not be misunderstanding him at times too?
"No "facade" justifies, changes or reverses his actions when he is behaving in a way that directly affects others."
That is irrelevant here. I have never tried to justify his bad better. Why did you get that? You are taking what I said and adding a different piece of the puzzle and slamming it together. The facade and his bad behavior are two different things.
" So if you are going to like him"
Do I like him? Why are you imposing that on me without knowing if I liked him or not?
" then face the facts of the type of person he is, otherwise what you are liking is not him but some twisted sugar-coated version."
This is you imposing an argument on me. Why don't you face the fact that you misunderstand my comments and have misunderstood Jeakyung? What I put was not a twisted sugar-coated version and that is you forcing your image of Jaekyung onto people
How about instead of forcing your image try to understand my comment and what I intended and then ask me to explain what I said? I am talking about the actual story, not an image. What you said was opinions and falsely accusing me since the Jaekyung I talked about is not your version. And you were triggered.
You're the one trying to force your image of Jaekyung onto me. I did not force anything I was sharing.
"If you don't want people discussing it with you or can't accept a different perspective then why comment in the first place."
That is irrelevant to my comments. You are not discussing anything with me. I am going with the actual story. why are saying not to accept a different perspective? You can't even accept what I said as you are here attacking me. Why comment in the first place?? do you hate the truth that you are trying to stop it? Can't handle the actual story perspective, can you?
I wished you were discussing it with me that would been cool but you are not.
So you are after people who you think love Jaekyung. Disgusting
While I did not say anything about his bad behavior... Pouring the soda on Dan, the abuse, or what happens in chapter 34...
it is logical this is not about his bad behavior. We were talking about his attitude, his personality.
"In summary, behaviour is WHAT we do, personality is how we THINK, FEEL and WHY we tend to behave in a certain way."
And afterwards, tatiisok, lucySmoo, and Zero, made my comments about his behavior.
I was talking about his personality.
TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!. How obsessed we are to force his behavior onto others.
I am talking about the actual story. I am not talking about views or opinions,
The difference here I am more neutral or part of the fandom and the others are obsessed with that toxic view, hating on others and Jaekyung, and don't want to view Jaekyung for who he actually is.
They want to stew in hate and make people who can see the story better, to be delusional. How sad. How sad we can not talk about this or discuss they just want to cling to their faulty views and lash out when they see something conflicting. Why live in hate? Hate will just harm you and the people around you.
AAA SO LET ME GUESS
JK's shit personality is just a facade, he acts like the worst scum because he's scared to get hurt again, but deep down he's actually... kind???
