Can't simply erase whatever taeju did before, and to add up to his problems from his sorry ass of a father. Not easy to just hop around it if you ask literally anyone
Even in the recent raws, he had to scream his trust issues to TJ to remind him of how much it took for him to trust someone ever... Pls understand it's never going to be as easy as it seems ...
If he just immediately started trusting him would you even like to read that? It would break the characters feeling human imo
I completely understand why Euihyun is the way he is, but his way of still doubting how Taeju feels about him constantly when he's really tried to show him he does care about him is getting very exhausting. He said they were dating, and he still thinks that Taeju was using him bc the debt was still active, but way before that Taeju showed him countless times that he does care for him and apologized for the way he first acted with him. I know that might sound like the bare minimum, and again I understand why he's the way he is and def understand it's hard to just open up and accept anyone, but Taeju does so much to show he cares both in actions and words, and he still continues to doubt is just very tiring. I still love Euihyun as a character, but his way of thinking with Taeju is just, again, exhausting.
