I'm leaning towards B, because of how she said "If only...I was a normal kid like everyone else"
I just reread the chapter, and that's what I'm thinking too. She seems hesitant to return to school, possibly suggesting bullying, or having been around people who have been negative about LGBTQ+, leaving her no one to really bond with. Or even played witness to someone else who was outed and bullied for it.
But at the same time, I could be reading too much into it
Agreed. I'm leaning towards B. Based on her comment of wishing she was normal and the possible issues that could be y she left school and escaped to the countryside, it seems to me she might be dealing with her own sexuality and possibly was discovered and it caused issues. I feel like her insistance on setting haebom up with a girl is more fear that not only will he maybe get judged and face issues himself if found out but also that if that does happen then she'll lose her sanctuary and just be surrounded by more homophopia
No no, it makes sense, I didn't give it too much thought like you did but as you said it it made complete sense. Cause when he asked if she's returning to school, she replied with "I should"
Oh wow i never noticed that poor girl she needs a hug from them rn (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Yes! She had to have gone through something while at school, and doesn't wish it upon Haeheom. I assume in the future, she will break and go to him to talk. And with the way season 1 ended with Sung Ho talking with his friend from the States, mentioning that he kissed a boy and liked it. The friend then expressed concern for Sung Ho about being in a same-sex relationship while residing in S. Korea. So to me, that was setting the theme for season 2. Coming to terms with sexuality, and maybe dealing with people who are against it. So I'm kinda expecting to see more homophobia from random side characters. But for now, all we can do is wait ╮(￣▽￣)╭
So, about Mi Ok's weird questioning with Haebeom. She's either:
A) Trying to get Haebeom himself to admit to having a boyfriend, without outright asking.
B) She herself is facing her own sexuality struggles, and, again, isn't sure how to go about acknowledging it, but seeing a possible ally in Haebeom.
or C) she's battling with some innate homophobia. Judging by this story, if C were to be the case, I couldn't imagine it being super bad or long-lasting drama, especially not from Mi Ok's character. She's known Haebeom for a while and likes him, so it may be hard to come to terms with someone she cares about being in a same-sex relationship, especially in a country that isn't as open to the idea as some Western countries.
Personally though, I'm leaning more towards A or B.
