I thought it was just physical cheating. He didn’t love Minho still, did he?
I was talking about uke with the housekeeper guy
He likes that housekeeper guy?
brother, did you read the whole webtoon? It was insinuated in Minhos flashback that Woojin had developed some sort of feelings for the housekeeper thats the whole reason why Minho was abusive to Woojin for the next few years.
No brother I have forgotten! I wish we could post pics here but I wanted to show my 160+ tabs open, so yeah no time to reread and remember. Had to ask my bad.
And Minho deserves to be cheated on x100 after what he did lmao.
Haha no worries, yeh defo he does especially considering how weak Woojins mental state was even before him
Right. Woojin did physically cheat, but that’s just what I and some think. I’m sure there are other half who think he didn’t because he was at a weak mental state.
I personally think he did because cheating is an act of lying, and he hid it from Taehwan afterwards. Sexual abuse and coercion by Minho is also true, and the rape afterwards.
Besides that, I’m so appalled by anyone who likes Minho…cause what do you mean I feel a bit sad about Minho?
But woojin didn't developed romantic feelings for the housekeeper, that's Minho's paranoic mind coming to stupid conclusions.
I don't think he was being paranoid. Woojins own (and only) friend said Woojin when he's lonely searches for someone to fill the hole in his heart. Guess what? Woojin was lonely with Minho being so busy. I never said his feelings were romantic it's been illustrated throughout the whole webtoon Woojin only needs someone to give him attention/love which the housekeeper was doing.
Hearing this, I’m glad he got into therapy now because he needs it 100%. I can’t imagine him being with another person again and possibly cheating because the other partner is busy, and may not have full time to spend time with him. And I’m aware that with Minho, it’s more because he was abusive and neglectful emotionally, etc and not just because of busy.
With therapy, I hope he can be more independent and be educated on how people can manipulate someone, anxiety, and fear that can lead to one making bad choices.
I know but I wouldn't call it emotional cheating, he didn't do anything with that housekeeper.
And yes Minho was paranoid and jealous, all that arc is him thinking over and over again that woojin was falling in love with other man and was cheating on him bc he believes he's a pitiful and lonely man whose yearns for other people love and can't say no. And maybe has some kind of truth but the main problem was not other than Minho himself and his conclusions about woojin, bc his control issues and jealousy he couldn't conceive that woojin passing time with other man was not equal to cheating and that even someone so vulnerable and delicate as woojin is not some impressionable kid, he loved Minho extremely, he thought about him even when he was in company and was constantly pushed to the side but Minho was blind to this bc he see/saw woojin's love as something so fickle that didn't deserve respect and because of that everything spiraled down.
He is receiving gratification emotionally from another person and started to neglect his own relationship so yes I would consider that emotional cheating.
You're surmising everything Minhos conclusions about Woojin aren't shared with Minho alone like I said Woojins own friend agreed that Woojin is unable to be alone and will find something to fill that void so Minhos 'paranoia' is justified. Throughout the whole series we see Woojin change his whole identity depending on who he is dating, that may not be impressionable but shows his fickle nature.
You're talking about what we see post Minho abuse, but what I'm talking about is pre-minho abuse. Yes Woojin loved Minho extremely at the start of the webtoon but that love developed over years. I am speaking of a Woojin who has only dated Minho for a year or so, his love will obviously not be as deep and thats why he was able to have an emotional affair.
If your significant other ignored you for a whole month to spend time with another person you would be mad but not to the level of years of abuse that Minho inflicted.
The only actual clear evidence we have from an unbiased source is Woojins friend, everything else we have said are what we are surmising.
"He saw Woojin's love as something fickle that didn't deserve respect" I couldn't put my finger on it, but you worded it perfectly.
This is such a nuanced observation. Minho had control issues from the start and also mocked/smiled at a lot of Woojin's sincerity in the beginning. I don't think he ever once took Woojin seriously, Woojin's taste was cheap to him and he blamed HIM for his own actions saying that Woojin was changing him. In the midst of all that, he just truly did not view Woojin's feelings as anything serious and made him the bad guy in his head over his own insecurities. I do think being annoyed about the housekeeper is a normal reaction from Minho, but he fully stopped trusting Woojin after and that was bc he didn't trust or respect him, he really believed he had to control Woojin for him to have any worth.
Yes Uke did emotional cheat but that doesn't equate to years and years of abuse, bro be fr. Also seeing uke grow so much and heal over the past 3 years is so emotional to me. Especially seeing him being so content alone.
