ILY FOR THIS TY <33
I've been seeing so many people shit on Chungi for his actions. While I do think what he's doing is wrong, it's very understandable and realistic for him to be acting like this and I empathize with what he's feeling. It's been a bit frustrating for me to see people just hate on him endlessly (though justified in a sense) without understanding the nuance of his feelings/the situation.
Some BL readers are so quick to hate without understanding these complex characters it’s like if they see someone interfering with their ship/couples it’s an automatic hate. I wish some readers analyze and dissect and see from all point of view.
I keep seeing so many people shit on Chungi/green haired guy but I think it was valid for him to feel uneasy/lonely at how Jiho treated being gay as something to hide, and I also think its valid for Jiho to feel scared about being found out, because I have been on both ends of this experience before and it is definitely a complex and frustrating thing given how the world is.
When you don't know how people would react, especially your own family, it makes you want to crawl into a corner and hide away. Even more so when you witness obnoxious assholes like the blonde guy and the black haired guy at Heeyoung's wedding, and also when people close to you unknowingly say things that can hurt you (Like how Jiho felt hurt at what his 2nd sister Jimin said to him: "Its not like you're gay!").
That being said, Chungi and Jiho both definitely did toxic things to each other, Jiho technically took Chungi for granted (and Chungi did the same to Jiho too), and Chungi was trying to interfere with Jiho and Inwoo's established relationship.
Inwoo is also not perfect, he has his own set of flaws too; he is anxious and has some attachment issues as a result of his childhood trauma.
I think the way the author has written these characters is done very well and in a very realistic manner, the characters are not perfect and have their own flaws which they will need to confront and address in order to grow and develop as individuals, and together as a couple (for Jiho and Inwoo), and together as a family (Jiho and his family, and for season 3, Inwoo and his mother).
