Look, i love Sung. hes dependable and all but goddamn it!!! what’s the use of being depe...

Don't be too harsh, politics ruled he would have lost trying to fight back and we'll as a kid who is on the lower r d what else could he do, that's where good friends come in especially ones who having backing. Plus I ha e yet to see his dad as the glue for your family you weight if it makes sense to fight and most times to at that moment you think you are wrong or that right now there is nothing you can do, so someone sometimes has to come in and help, and he thankfully just let that help happen

Yeah i know. but what im frustrated is rn, is the Lim Sung who doesn’t even think about himself. he’s being the mr nice guy ( wayyyyy to nice ) is what makes that bastard of the coach and that son if a bitch minsung trampled on him. i didnt mean i want him to fight as in completely fighting, but what i mean is for him to be able at least to stand up for himself. the kind off nice guy who is nice but not easy to get trampled on. imagine if heedo’s not there, for sure lim sung not gonna do anything and just let it be. just look at when he’s trying to hurt his self when he get slapped by that bitch minsung’s mom. I just hate how author make him weak when lim sung for sure can be someone much more than that

Yup let's hope he becomes stronger

remember this is high school baseball. sung is like around 16, he is quite literally powerless against his circumstances and chose to suffer on his own instead of getting even worse backlash from adults. if u were more empathetic its so easy to see that him coming from a poor family and benefitting from them makes it so hard to act out against them

Oh girl. I am emphatic. because i am emphatic, i hate that ge has to go through that and yet bot trying to defend himself. read my comment again. what i want is not him to fight completely against those bastards but to stand up for himself. stand up when hes being belittled not just decided to get through with it and hurt himself. i get him being poor and all, but throughout all the chapters lim sung did not even do one thing bout standing up for himself. he just did it for others. hes stubborn , dependable , brave FOR OTHERS . not him . being poor doesn’t mean being a coward but for some reason the author did it like that . Jeez i feel like i need to knock some sense into the author cuz wth.

stand up for himself and then what? get sacked out of the baseball team he’s worked so hard for? cus the coach will think he’s too arrogant now. or have that one kid’s mom use her money and power to harass him? be realistic. he’s not in that position cuz he wanted it, he’s not a masochist. not everyone has the privilege to ‘stand up’ for themself

he can’t even protect his teammates anymore if he gets removed from his team. he IS brave for taking a beating. he’s doing his best to hold his team together so don’t belittle people for knowing the possible consequences for their actions

Who’s masochist? did i said he is? no i dont. yeah like u said, not everyone has the privilege to stand for themselves but sung does . he literally does cuz he work fcking hard to be where he is and someone doesn’t give a fcking right to belittle him even it was sung himself. he letting those shithead trample over him is what makes the coach feeling glee all over since he knows no matter what he did to sing, sung not gonna retaliate. it took heedo one moment and he completely shattered those damn bastard. Sung couldn’t do it because like i said, hes too goddamn nice. be realistic? girl im in that fcking position for 3 and half years, until i couldn’t because who the fck gave you the right to trample all over me. I realized it late but at least i did it myself because seeing those bastard getting high over money but not the game im working my ass off is something that not even any words can convey how disgusting it is. exactly because im used to be in that position im being fcking realistic .

girl did u even read anything i said… what’s the point of proving that he’s not a pushover if he gets kicked out of the baseball team and can no longer take care of his teammates? he can’t pay for the baseball fees, they were doing him a favor by keeping him there for free and that knowledge is heavy on him. if he acts out he literally gets nothing except probably a temporary satisfaction and then later on might probably spiral and self destruct.

ive also been in the same position ur not special. we’re literally in a piracy site cus we are broke. u can’t blame people for being helpless and choosing to keep the peace in situations to prevent things from getting worse. he’s an entirely selfless person with circumstances against him so its frustrating to see you belittle him.

heedo was lucky that he had the perfect opportunity to expose all of that with no consequences to him or the team. he managed to do an interview that sung didn’t get to do because of his batting skills and the interest on his statement was high because of it.

I hear you, and I get where you’re coming from. but me belittle him? no . i stated the actual fact. I didn’t mean to belittle him or disregard how heavy his circumstances are. I see how much pressure he’s under, and how hard it must be to balance everything when he’s trying to stay afloat.

but let’s face it, his selflessness is what makes things complicated—trying to do the right thing for others while being in a tough spot yourself can make it even harder to stand up for yourself. And that what pissed me off! because how can you do that for others but not yourself? I hate seeing how he always get pushed around like he didn’t mean anything when he’s much more than that.

I get that sometimes keeping the peace feels like the only way to prevent things from spiraling. It’s just frustrating to see someone like him getting caught in a situation where even his best efforts feel like they’re slipping away. Heedo had an advantage, but that doesn’t make what Sung’s going through any easier.

And did i said anything bout those shitty situation make me special? no , i dont. what im trying to said, precisely because ive been there, it pain me to see how Sung got stuck between all those shit, and i want him to make it further so that this shit doesn’t drag him further and that is by stepping up for himself first

yes i hear you and i agree it’s just that it’s so easy to tell someone what they should do but the ability to do that is a different matter altogether. he knows he isn’t treated right and he knows he shouldn’t stand for it but he just can’t. he probably already got used to being in a powerless situation and it’s hard to get out of that cycle when he already accepted it long ago. his self-worth went very low because of so many circumstances such as his yips (which is a psychological issue for athletes) and that’s likely why he doesn’t have a strong drive to stand up for himself

that’s why heedo as a character is important to introduce in his life, not just as a romantic partner but as a second party that believes in his worth that he started to have trouble seeing.

nahh, i agree. It’s one thing to know you deserve better, but actually taking the steps to be change that mindset and break free from the cycle is incredibly difficult—especially when you’re so used to feeling powerless. The psychological toll, can really erode one’s sense of self-worth over time.

It’s definitely not an overnight change. When someone’s been stuck in a pattern of self-doubt and powerlessness for so long, it becomes a deeply ingrained way of thinking and being.

but all in all, im still pissed like i really hope the author continues the storyline starting with Sung picking himself up. i just want that boy ti strive for the better
