still doesn't mean he deserves everything that happened. If anything, the stepmother should be the one getting all the brunt but no it's taekyung. like tf u mean it's getting out of line, it's always been bad. torture in all degrees is unacceptable. Heeseo is literally just a manchild, if this is what truly bothered him, then he could've told this to the police, but instead he chose to lock up and abuse the mc.

yk how in the earlier chapter he keeps giving money to heeseo secretly. he could've done that till the end and not take heeseo into his account but since he did (they live tgt), heeseo become dependent, he also kept him in the dark about heeseo's mom situation because he would take responsibility of what is coming. However he leave him in the end single straddle which is irresponsible of him, and he take the stab as a form of apologies just to be free from guilt. Imagine you raise a kid, spoiled them just to leave them. As you said ml could have just reported to the police but does he have prove? (even if he does he wont btw we all know that) but same goes to mc, he could choose to just left the ml in the beginning instead of keeping him and shaped him as he is now. What ml did is wrong but mc did wrong too
I feel so bad cause i dont feel bad for taekyung (except for the recent chapter where the torture are over the line) because he left haesoo knowing damn well he doesn't have anyone and the reason he's alone is because someone's stepmother. Especially after heeseo found out that his mom is murdered (he even willing to turn blind eye and forgive everything but ig Taekyung just want to be free from guilt so he did what he did) Taekyung is basically accomplice atp for the murder because he kept quiet about it. The fact the stepmother are cured also pissed me off. And i think the killer is the stepmother to keep taekyung in jail so he cant spews her past or looking for evidence of the murder, since she's now an aristocrat
