Leave Woowon Alone

Some of y'all have a rlly hard time with basic human empathy and it rlly shows. Guys, not everyone has the same confrontational, boss-bitch, killing it type of personality. Some ppl are rlly timid and anxious all the type, which is sometimes exacerbated by the environment they grew up in and trauma.

I have a frnd whose uncle got shot and her parents had to travel back to her home country and live there for half of her grade TWELVE year. She has 4 younger siblings, was barely surviving and was in an AP program. She didn't tell any of us a single thing, just kept her mouth shut and lived on. She has never once complained about anything in front of me, even in her most frustrated and upset. She would be full on struggling, literally half dead on her feet every day, nodding off in class, getting out of school early, but every time we would ask, not a word. It's not because she's stupid or doesn't wanna be frnds w me or doesn't trust me, it's because that's just how her personality IS. She's just built like that, and she is the daughter of a multimillionaire, now imagine her personality in someone who is poor as shit, got beaten by his dad and left behind by his dad and is the sole protector of his mom who also used to get beat too, that's who Woowon is. He has had to deal with his circumstances and life with his type of personality since he was 5 years old.
Also, do y'all know what poverty does to you??? Do u have any idea how food security and abusive parents impacts you?? My dad grew up very poor, he used to tell his frnds he was gonna go home and eat salmon every single day, before walking around during lunch time. One of his best frnds after seeing the condition of his house told him that he can share his lunch but my dad didn't take it, because he was embarassed of his life. He studied econ and got an MBA but to this very day, he doesn't eat more than rice and egg bc he says that more than that would be gluttony and he loves eating plain egg bc he didn't have one until grade 5. He's a 60 year old man y'all, that's how long living in poverty for your childhood can impact you. No matter what u have in life, no matter how far you come, that shit is gonna stick to you until the very day u die. So no, Seo An suddenly striding into Woowon's life and offering him the world isn't gonna suddenly change his personality or his life circumstances.

Also before y'all come at me with the 'o well Seo An had a sad life' or 'I lived in/have seen people in poverty when I was younger' listen, not everyone reacts to things the same. It depends on your personality, life circumstances, etc etc. My sister can gut people with a couple words if she tries, within a matter of seconds. For me, I have had one frnd who used to raise their hand on me when I was in HIGH SCHOOL (yes around 17 years old) and I could not say a single word to anyone about what was happening, not my sister, not my parents, nobody, I just went along w it until uni and waited for us to be physically distant. If they saw me somewhere (god don't jinx me like tht) I'd prolly just do nothing or silently nod. Bc that's my personality. The expression of anxiety and depression in Seo An and Woowon is VERY different bc their personalities are very different. Where Woowon doesn't even tell his mom when something happens, Seo An, once he finds someone he loves he can inform them what's going on. Neither is wrong yall, it's just different.
