True, he’s deeply traumatized, when he says he’s trying to protect Taeyoon’s happiness it feels instead that he wants to protect his own happiness. I mean from that dream he had, it’s clear he’s afraid of everything falling apart if Taeyoon learns the truth, that he’d abandon him. As a result, he’s trying to control everything and won’t give Taeyoon the freedom the make his own choices, which when we think about how their relationship started with Taeyoon literally on a leash, confined to MC’s place is just full circle. It could be interesting if it ends up with some real progress, growth and healing for the MC.
Right, to me this looks almost impossible to resolve because of the complex underlying issues. If their relationship was based on love, then I could see it. But it’s more of based on sex, their pheromones bond and a child. It also looked to me like a slight case of Stockholm syndrome for ML mixed with their pheromones bond making him feel like he was falling in love.
All I feel is annoyance. The MC’s attitude is super patronizing lol, “JUST TELL HIM, IT’S HIS LIIIFE”… sigh but then I remember that it’s not a couple that got together through their communicating skills lol but more so a toxic situation that turned into a relationship.
