Wdym ? He tried multiple time but he gezt ignored everytime.Then he confronted him in front of the lockers. But his "friend" insulted him and even touched his sensitive spot (his family situation). How would you want him to react after that ?
Of course we all know that it's Taehwan the mastermind of all of it but to him, he have been nothing else that understanding and caring. How could he doubt him ? The sole person that still seem to care about him and his only support ?
It will blow out sooner or later of course but I will not enjoy that. Calling him stupid is akin to victim blaming. :/
I feel like soo-young is dense and blinded at the same time. I mean he didn't even try to learn why his friend became like that to him and distance himself. And he's so blinded to see what really kind of man taehwan is. Wasn't there a part on previous chapter that one of his friends was it gave him advice or warning about taehwan? I can't wait to see the moment where he realize his stupid enought not to notice what's really going on.
