It feels like there is a lot of blame being placed on the MC in the og comment, including references to "needing" this.
Just being very real based off the last chapter (not the current one, since that's not what your comment is based off of), it seems deeper than we know so far.
It has to be hard to see someone idolize his absentee father, and tell him that he owes respect to a father that has yet to show him love, respect, or true kindness (that we're aware of). He got frustrated and snapped back because he is human. He also instantly knew he crossed a line.
A person who *needs* this kind of intervention doesn't have those reasoning skills, self-sufficiency skills, or inherent kindness. Sure, he was promiscuous, which is his effing business. Sounds like that apple didn't fall far from the tree. Yet, his dad sends him into isolation not because he's worried about his son's mental health or sexual promiscuity but because his son's life might damage his reputation as an actor.
All of that to say, it was never about doing what his son needed.
We know that and the MC knows it too.
Like I said, his anger is valid. He has every right to be angry and react that way to his father (based on the story so far). I am not defending his dad, I am just saying there seems to be more to the neglect theme (that's what I want to know). I don't care if his son forgives him when that time comes, he can choose not to - because the fact still remains that he hurt his son. I just want to know the reason behind his actions.
My issue with the son in my initial comment, was him taking his anger out on someone else and even insinuating his father might have had an affair with his worker. I still maintain my point that he needed this to fix his attitude - this was a consequence of his action and he needed to learn that for every action, there's a corresponding consequence. Based on the recent chapter update, sending him to the countryside seems to be working..... That's the point I was trying to make in my initial comment.
I want to know the dad's side of the story. I feel like there's more to this "neglect" theme. The father definitely gives the vibe of a doting father who just couldn't express himself properly or be there physically (the reason behind that is what I want to know). Also, I get the son's anger (and he has every right to be angry based on the story so far), but taking that out on someone who has nothing to do with it is something I'll never get.
Based on the son's actions so far, he definitely needed this. He needs to fix his attitude and learn that every action has it's own consequences. I don't care whether he forgives his father or not but he needs to fix that attitude of his - "my father abandoned me" is not an excuse to be that badly behaved.
