It’s hard to articulate how reading this made me feel. The main story was definitely difficult to read, but it wasn’t until the side stories that I felt completely miserable. He’s a broken man, a shell of his former self, and hyunjae continues to make junghoon worse and more dependent on him. It felt so hopeless, at least in the main story junghoon had some drive to leave. there was a small hint of optimism.
Seeing Subins perspective of the past confident Junghoon made it hurt more. It reminds us of how much hyunjae (and the other rapists) have broken him. In a different story, subin and junghoon would have been the main couple. But that isn’t the story we got.
There truly was no reason behind hyunjae actions. He made sunghoon his target based on a photo and minimal information. You can psychoanalyze hyunjae and his traumatic upbringing, but I think that’s missing the point. There was no reason. Sometimes people do vile things because they felt like it, there’s no need to search for a deeper reason.
“When you want something… sometimes there’s no reason”
