I feel like not texting your partner atleast once just to check in during the day is a bit inconsiderate
But like op said.. Things happen and people get busy. Yeah it takes 2 seconds to send a message, but some people aren’t thinking about that when they have a million other things to do.
I don't think you need to be in constant contact with your partner but if you tell me you're going to text me or see me at school and then ghost with no explanation I'm gonna be confused
if you can't commit then just don't enter a relationship. he promised to text and meet him, i too would be running around ask the friends and all if my boyfriend did that and i feel like he's hiding something from me.
While I do agree, the whole him not wanting to tell him he was sick was odd. And even odder that he lied and said his partners were sick. Yeah it's a new relationship but he's already lying about things. So I can kind of see why gunjoon is skeptical about the things he says.
He was literally sick with a fever? If your world crumbles down because you don’t receive a text from your partner, you need to reevaluate your life. Yes it’s considerate and you should keep promises you make, but things happen in life.
u said it yourself, it doesn't take 2 seconds to type and send a message to someone. and as i said, if you can't commit don't enter a relationship. sunbae said "it's not that big of a deal" says a lot about how he sees this relationship. add to that that hes also always acting so sus. it's not just about forgetting to text his partner, better jus be friends if even in this "not that big of a deal" matter he can't say a thing to his partner.
oh sorry i read and typed that wrong, "it takes 2 seconds to send a message" , nontheless...
Exactly, he was waiting for a text that never came, then the ML wasn’t even at school. Plus gunjoon was already self conscious since the ML has a lot of friends, he doesn’t feel like he knows the ML that well. Plus ML totally brushed off all the concerns (plus lied) when he sees gunjoon again, of course MC feels anxious
Oh and ML only texted gunjoon because his friend reminded him. Obv gunjoon doesn’t know that, but to us readers it shows gunjoon concerns about ML are kinda valid
well that’s not the case here. he’s purposefully not telling him that he’s sick. he’s the one being weird lol
I agree it doesn’t take much to send a text and in this instance (plot device) he IS hiding something and being sketchy. But I’m going to use me right now. I’m currently sick. I have 185 unread texts (I’m part of a lot of group chats.) Could you blame me if I didn’t notice my partner texted me or I got overwhelmed by how gross I felt and forgot I promised to shoot my new partner a text when I have a thousand other things to do? We are adults, I’d hope they can manage on their own for a day and understand when I follow up with them later and explain. They’ve been together for like a week can you blame the ML for not being “MC is my first priority” because in reality no one has their bf or gf as a first priority this early on. It’s not realistic y'all cut him some slack. And if he isn’t sick and lying to hide whatever secret he has AGAIN they’ve barely been together a week, he has every right to not disclose whatever his secret is. You’re telling me you wouldn’t feel a type of way if (random example) you had cancer or had a super abusive family and the minute we start dating I was like “why won’t you tell me about it? I deserve to know because we may be practically strangers but we call each other baby which apparently means I’m entitled to sensitive and potentially traumatic information.” Didn’t mean to rant but this is just what I initially meant.
if you dont have 5 seconds in a day to text your significant other „sorry im super busy, i promise to explain everything to you as soon as i can” dont get in a relationship atp bro
tl dr
If you don’t have 15 seconds, don’t read it
i didnt lol
I always find it so annoying and unrealistic when one partner has an absolutely meltdown when they don’t hear from their partners for a day or get a text back, especially in new relationships. Like obviously in this case he’s hiding something but usually it’s nothing and people get busy I’d be embarrassed to be chasing down my partner and their friends like this, have some pride and boundaries. I certainly wouldn’t expect to know everything about my partner three seconds into a relationship, they’ll tell me when that trust is built.
