Yohan is a very empathetic guy, he has a great sense of other people and their feelings, especially of his loved one. And it is objectively clear that his anxiety is not growing out of nowhere. And the reason is not jealousy. The reason is that he doesn't feel loved. How insensitive a bastard do you have to be to not give the person you chose to be with for 7 years the feeling that he is loved?
I'm just so angry for Yohan and feel like a lot of other objective and empathetic people feel the same so I had to rumble at least a tiny bit
You know, Mugyeong was giving the same vibe and annoying attitude throughout the whole main story till the end, but there it was in-character. And also logical and realistic. Like, they are teens with two different tempers, they both are just discovering themselves in world in general and in love in particular. It all looked like defence mechanism on Mugyeong's part, unconscious way to deal with frustration, anxiety and shyness of first love.
But man, you are an adult in a 7 year long relationship now! It looks like Yohan is the one to accept and give love unconditionally in this relationship, while Mugyeong doesn't have to lift a finger to do something for his partner. What for? He will swallow anything, any insult, any bitter retort, anything. He will chase him and feel like everything is his fault (we see this even in the chapter - no, Mugyeong is innocent, it's me who fucked up).
But somehow Mugyeong only becomes an expressionless and timid self with Yohan. He has no problem with respective, appropriate and friendly vibes if he is to give them to his new "not interested in him at all" friend. He is also suddenly open and emotional and able to express himself at least a tiny bit when talking to Yuri. But with Yohan it's all annoyance, dismissal and avoiding
Why being together? Oh, because it's convenient to have a simp you can gaslight around
I'm so pissed I cannot sleep after this new chapter sorry
Nah pls continue preaching! Like deadass why the fuck even be together when it clearly shows that yohan will always chase after him no matter the situation. It still feels like an unrequited love and Yohan is suffering because he loves him so much yet it never gets anything back. Its so heart breaking with everything theyvwent through with the slowburn yet fter 7 yrs it still looks unrequited </3
I feel anxious and uncertain with Mugyeong, and I'm just reading a fictional story for God's sake. Realistically, Yohan deserves so much more. Mugyeong treats him as a piece of shit under his feet and takes him for granted. He never ever chased him in any form and never even tried to change his cold and objectively indifferent demeanor. It's not about being expressionless. And not even about being shy to verbally show your affection. The whole dismissive atmosphere the fucker gives when around Yohan, the gaslighting and zero desire to understand your supposed partner... Yohan is not physical, not abusive, he doesn't restrain in any way, he is just obviously in pain and needs reassuring. Needs fucking love. And yet this piece of shit behaves like Yohan's feelings and thoughts are nothing worthy of pausing and thinking about.
God, I can't. Fuck Mugyeong.
