Pixie, you are a true gem and as always, I thank you. This chapter was so interesting and the way Jaehyuk handled his narrow minded friend. Yes, Jaehyuk may have been a womanizer in the past, but it seems like she can’t even begin to imagine him being with a man. Jaehyuk dealt with her like a pro and defended his relationship with Garam. I was proud of him.
Yeah I mean I like her concern for Garam, but she doesn't point those out when she still thought he was a girl. She's aware of Jaehyuk's past, but she's also aware of his present and how he's serious enough to live with his partner, but that somehow doesn't matter now because the partner is a guy and Jaehyuk would just be playing if it's a guy.
Anyway, I get that how Jaehyuk's friends view him is the consequences of his actions, but Shinjoo isn't fully right for how she reacted to him imo still a realistic reaction tho
That cliffhanger got everyone talking lmao
If I may add to the discussion, yes, Shinjoo's concerns are valid because Jaehyuk was a womanizer. But Shinjoo is also the friend Jaehyuk has been talking to about his feelings before she even knew he likes a guy. She knew he was finally being serious enough to sell his stuff for a new place, but she finds out Garam was a guy and suddenly Jaehyuk isn't serious anymore. I guess that could speak to how much she couldn't imagine/trust ex-womanizer Jaehyuk to ever like a guy for real, but I think we also can't deny some prejudice there.
Also the things she say about Jaehyuk calling Garam ugly and him saying he'll just get tired of dating him? Garam has always thought those things about Jaehyuk before their relationship improved. What happened was that she reaffirmed his previous doubts, and Jaehyuk immediately said it's not like that anymore. It's upsetting for those previous doubts to be confirmed, but Garam also knows by now that Jaehyuk really likes him. This really can't turn into a fight especially after learning from their previous one.
