I think it was more that he was inexperienced and stupid. Once he got a wake-up call and realized it wasn't any good he changed that shit up so quick. It's no wonder our poor baby Sanho got whiplash from it lmao. You have to remember that none of these guys have ever been in proper relationships, have had supressed feelings for ages, and are all still pretty young. They're obviously going to make a lot of mistakes. It never felt like they intentionally meant to hurt each other.
Ye, inexperienced and stupid, but i would also add that he was in denial cuz he thought of himself as purely logical, so his feelings for sanho, not just romantic but also platonic ones, seemed illogical to him, so he rejected those feelings.
I dont think it was intentional, but as a result of tak suppressing his own "illogical" side he still hurt sanho.
Oh ya, I'm not saying he didn't hurt him. He did take accountability for it though, in his own dumbass not-so-"logical" way lmao. I'll admit, while reading through the main story I was feeling kinda icky towards Tak too. But seeing how things fully went down from the other perspectives, he's definitely redeemable in my eyes. I think if the author hadn't put up the side story we all would've been left with a dislike for him.
For me i wouldnt say i've fully forgiven him yet as it took everyone around him to push him in the right direction and the things he did and said would definitely take me some time to forgive if i was in sanhos position so the pace of which he gets to be forgiven doesnt fully sit right with me. However im glad that regardless of what happened it seems like currently the things are going much better.
These two losers finally learned how to communicate and had steamy sex. The foreplay, the dirty talk, Tak and Sanho being open and honest; I'm here for it all. Give us more of it please. I used to hate Tak but I'm coming around to him.
