i feel like a breakup is needed but mostly for Kang. hes so strong-put on this “if i don...

Right? The correct way would have been telling Ahn that he'll fight for their relationship even if he's an ahjussi, so what he's fearing wouldn't ever happen

I disagree. He's not willing to throw his feelings. To me he was saying he is willing to let him go because he loves Ahn. He will try his best to keep the relationship but if Ahn wants to let go he will, not because he didn't love him but because he does, so much, he wouldn't be selfish about it. That's how I see it.

Yeah Ahn gets this but just like what the commenters above say the idea of Mr. Kang and his ability to "let go" kinda shows lack of trust or more accurately hope for their relationship. That's what hurts Ahn. There is a difference between saying "I know there is an end, but I will work hard for us" than saying "I know there is an end, I'll let you go because I love you so much." He's like deciding Mr. Ahn's feelings. I don't know if I expressed myself properly

That's how Ahn perceives it and I guess OP, too. He wasn't deciding Ahn's feelings, he's just prepared if that day happens because let's face it, no one can and should force anyone to be in a relationship. And it's not like Kang said he wouldn't do his part to keep the relationship going, like he said, he will. As long as they still love each other, he's going to make that effort. He is rich, not a chaebol but he can make compromises if need be. But if the feelings are not equal anymore, then he'd let go. Honestly, that's how it should be.

I appreciate this! However, I think it's not about who is more right or if Mr. Kang's perspective is even wrong but Ahn is hurt and I think that needs more attention, I guess? Nonetheless thank you for sharing!

But him even saying that shows that he doesn’t trust ahn’s feelings. i think he has a superiority complex and thinks of ahn as too naive (which he is). even if it isnt him “throwing away” his feelings per say, he isnt rlly fighting for them either. since he is mature he should’ve had a convo w ahn. asking him if he is okay with kang being his first and last. if he is okay with not ever meeting a new person (romantically). i can understand how ahn sees how kang approached the situation as ‘predicting’ the future or making it seem like their relationship is prone to end.

exactly, i feel like this whole argument is rooted in insecurity.

literally don’t know where “prone” came from i literally typed “destined” sorry

Same thing, whether he trusts or not someone's feelings, point is you can't predict the future. You can't assume that their relationship will not end. Maybe it won't, but in the event that it does, he will let go. I see Ahn treating the relationship as forever, while Kang does not believe in forever, because they don't know what there is. Ahn wants Kang to go crazy in their relationship as much as he is but there goes the experience, that doesn't make Kang's love any less but he is past that. Honestly Ahn is still in honeymoon phase.

i understand you, and it's true that no one can predict the future of any relationship. but the essence of being in a committed relationship is the willingness to invest in and work towards a shared future, even if it is uncertain.

u said that ahn is still in the honeymoon phase and that kang, with his experience, doesn't believe in forever. this difference in perspective is natural, given their age and experience gap. however, this doesn't mean that kang should be less invested or less willing to show his commitment. relationships thrive on mutual effort and a shared belief in their potential longevity.

kang's attitude of "if i don't satisfy you, i will leave you maturely" kinda gives a readiness to give up rather than fight for the relationship. it’s not just about acknowledging the possibility of an end but about committing to making it work despite the uncertainties. a break might help Kang realize the depth of his feelings for ahn and understand that love requires more than just a practical approach (it requires passion, dedication, and a bit of 'crazy' commitment.)

ahn treating the relationship as forever isn't just naivety per say...it’s also about being hopeful and dedicated. if kang meets ahn halfway and shows that he’s equally invested, they can work through their differences and build a stronger bond. kang's love isn’t any less because of his experience, but he needs to communicate it in a way that reassures Ahn of his commitment.

Here's a like that this comment deserves
