I mean yeah, he should have left it alone after he was rejected but...it doesn't really help if the guy actually slept with him after he asked...its too many mixed signals. If your answer is no, don't budge or leave any room for the person to think that continuing to press you on the matter will change your mind. And if you're the desperate person...if somebody says no and asks you to stop...stop. Listen to people. Though, I think it is less harsh for a person to ask a question over and over than to, lets say, make passes over and over at a person. If he was pushing himself onto the person that said no, thats crossing the line. Continuing to beg is...desperate, inconsiderate, and disrespectful, but still different.
It's not in your best interest to say no then cave and then get mad and take your anger out on the other person...at this point you have to be the one to take responsibility,
If someone doesn't listen when you say 'no', then what are you supposed to do but do what they say??? Frankly I don't see it as mixed signals.
I see it as Hyunwoo not knowing how to stop Subin from going after him so he slept with him and hoped the other would stop. A 'do it once then I leave you alone' kind of deal.
How much of an annoyance do yo have to be for someone with no interest in you to accept to sleep with you... actually pushing until you get a yes is sorta dubious consent... He already kissed him when he knew the other wouldn't want it. (if Hyunwoo was a girl... It's sad it has to be a girl for people to notice this is not okay actually)
And Subin actually being happy about it disturbs me so much. The other doesn't love him any more than before, he almost completely forgot it happened, yet he's happy.
Subin just painly creeps me out at this point, I'm sorry.
Maybe I missed something but Subin didn't look happy to me. He's had his ass kicked and fucked, instead of being properly taken care of, since it was his first time. He has been crying through most of the chapters and has just found his crush, that just fuck him, has his own crush. If that character came across as happy to you, it was a delusion. I won't be satisfied until either, Subin finds someone to truly make happy or make his crush pay dearly for basically traumatizing his first experience.
Okay so... I'm not sure why I'm still reading.
After a comment I checked again and it's true it said this story was gonna be a pathetic one, so I guess it's going well on that side so far?
To your comment, I had this feeling from chapter 4, page 28. And some of his reactions like 'did I make it' or something when he remembers the night. It's because he's telling himself think about something sad. This whole part felt like a really weird reaction to have.
But I've read chapter 5/6 and it seems it was more some kind of high following a revelation... I guess?
The new chapters were really sad. I'm just glad it's sinking in him this was one-sided but also sad because it's a bit late now...
Seeing how he is with his friends and how his friends are with him... Subin is a bit of a mess huh.
I liked to see aspects of him that weren't linked to is hopeless love (because that made him act really bad...)
I didn't change my mind but... I think even I may feel a bit bad for that kid now... But he got his own butt to blame for this, still.
Subin's crazed persistence and harassment is creepy (but he does look a little off to me, like he needs therapy). HWoo is unduly violent. Push the guy away and then never socialize with him again. Why does he keep hanging with him? Sorry, but HWoo is sending mixed signals. If you want a stalkerish guy to know you mean business, do not associate with him--AT ALL, beyond what is absolutely necessary (like if you're a bus together, just move away). Being on a bed in a room with the guy--yes, sorry, that's mixed signals.
If it's really sexual harassment to you, you don't fuck the harasser. You avoid, totally ignore, or call the cops. He kept doing nice things to the harasser, interspersed with violence. That's the definition of mixed signals right there. Nice, hit, nice, hit.
the gay dude needs to move on seriously and he needs to learn to respect boundaries what an annoying guy
