100% this. Some people make Eunsung out to be like some baby that is still learning but he practically met Hyunwoo at an age where he should know right from wrong. It's hilarious how some readers are avoiding to see the obvious red flags Eunsung is giving off.
It's also funny how people are saying Hyunwoo is emotionally manipulating Eunsung when Eunsung has done this from Day 1 before the timeline reset. It's like they read the first chapter with their eyes closed where Eunsung was telling Hyunwoo to quit his job for him and if he didn't, he'd out him or worse kill him.
Not excusing Hyunwoo's behaviour but damn, it is tame compared to Eunsung.
I mean aren't alot of people who have hard time learning is like that, and we shouldn't also discard Hyunwoo behavior with he's constant lying, ignoring Eunsung feelings and not trusting him someone bound to change, and we shouldn't ignored the fact that Eunsung is only a teenager while Hyunwoo is an adult, teenager are bound to change if someone treats them like that, if you were him what would you feel??
Also when Eunsung first ask him out shouldn't Hyunwoo reject him?? Like he's only playing pretend at this point, it's basically gaslighting Eunsung, i think Eunsung wouldn't be like that if Hyunwoo treated him right, Eunsung mental health is dropping because of how Hyunwoo attitude and action, And Hyunwoo is literally cheating and a lying bastard, we were introduce to Eunsung flashback were most of the time it's just Hyunwoo treating Eunsung like a s**it, i know both are in wrong, but what i see the problem started on Hyunwoo, we also shouldn't ignored that this is literally Eunsung first relationship he seems to want to treasure it on the first they dated, and Eunsung was only longing for Hyunwoo attention and love... I think that's were his behaviors develop
You shouldn't also discard Eunsung feelings, and wouldn't Eunsung behavior not change if that Hyunwoo treated him right, i don't think he would develop this behaviors if Hyunwoo was not a lying bastard who cheated and didn't have loyalty at all, the fact he's still like his ex is making him bad who's already in a relationship, and isn't Eunsung teenager usually teenager develop a sudden change of behavior based on the people around them, with how Hyunwoo is treating Eunsung he's bound to change
I dont necessarily think he groomed him bc he had no intentions of actually dating him or going further in their relationship. just bc eunsung was in hs when they met doesnt mean he was a child. he was in his final year and at least 18. hes a grown adult (well 20 at least and in college) when the start dating and for the rest of the story, so it doesnt make sense for you to continue saying he is a teenager too excuse his poor behaviour. i will only agree with the fact that hyunwoo took advantage of eunsungs situation, using him as a rebound for his ex and being dishonest with him. however, eunsung was acting crazy before they even killed each other, and he knew nothing about the ex gf. which meant it wasnt even the cheating/lying that drove him to act like that, so you cant actually say its 100% hyunwoos fault that eunsung is the way he is. and honestly, i dont blame hyunwoo for trying to keep his distance, eunsung is wayyy too dependent and starting to become downright manipulative. hyunwoo was selfish and stayed in the relationship for too long and now its too late
It's definitely most fault for his behavior is Hyunwoo, i am not saying his the most wrong, i just want to imply where the problem began, and teenager tends to change their mentality, emotions and everything based on how people treat them, and he actually met him when he was elementary that's what i know they just started dating when he was graduating on highschool i think
am i the only one who doesn't think the hyunwoo is as terrible as people are making him out to be? yes he's still probably hung up on his ex gf and she should tell his bf instead of lying to him. But eunsung is literally insane?? he became so obsessive to the point where he strangled his bf to death?? he's also not a child and knows what he's doing is wrong. dont get me wrong they are both awful people but the bottom is overhated fr
