They’ve been friends for probably over a decade and he couldn’t mention it once? I understand how he feels and he’s completely valid but I genuinely believe he could have said something about how he felt sooner.
(Obv this is just fiction but irl I would want my best friend to tell me if something I’m doing is upsetting them instead of holding it in)
its the kind of situation where its really hard to tell them since if you tell them that you don't like that they're giving things to you because its a burden, it comes off as ungrateful. there's also the fact that jinyoung is rich and the friend is poor. if he spoke up, it would also seem like he's just salty because jinyoung is rich and you think hes rubbing it in your face. jinyoung has also expressed that he dislikes people who are after him for his money, so the friend will feel like he has to refuse anything that jinyoung is giving to him so he can preserve their friendship, and that is more important to him than expressing his actual feelings.
hes honestly so real because it sounds rude but when someone is overly accommodating and they just buy things for you and do so much for you, it feels like ur leeching off of them. It becomes a burden because u so desperately want them not to think of u that way. It just becomes tiring being around them because u have to always be humble and thankful and i also get not saying anything about it because it sounds so entitled, like someone is giving u so much stuff and u cant be appreciative??? so it sounds selfish and its such a burden
