Exactly. As to what we have been presented so far, not only was he abused as well, most likely, even he was not taught properly, at all, growing up. Not on facial expressions, social customs, emotions, etc. Hence, the behavior he has showed us in this chapter. Man, the fuck they did to these children. They didn’t deserve this. No one deserves this.
I actually love his character so far, he also mentioned earlier that he was kicked out? Im not sure what he meant by that since i ghought haesol kicked him out but we know thats not the case. Meaning he likely does not have a good upbringing even after seperating from haesol
He was kicked out of that chicks place. You know the blonde at chp 173? He was apparently crashing at her place
Indeed. It's like he's only favored because he's male (given that the setting is in asia where male are mostly chosen to be the heir) but his upbringing was neglected and wasn't prioritized. And the sad fact is that this situation still happens in the reality of some households.
If you read it carefully you'll realize that Haesoo was the more favored one between them but that doesn't mean he wasn't abused. He mentioned being deprived of water for diet (iirc) and being hit in their heads whenever the "lady" got the chance, meaning he wasn't exempted from the abuse. It's just that him and Haesol reacted differently from the trauma they received. Haesoo became quite "unhinged" and saw those memories as good times with his sister but Haesol, due to the trauma, had selective amnesia (if I'm not mistaken) and forgot about her childhood memories.
While it's true that he opened Haesol's deep wounds, I think we need to take consideration to Haesoo's experience as well and should not portray him as the bad one. It is always the crazy adults who should be blamed for ruining these children's lives.
