Its cuz the other story explores Jinwoo's life. Makes it harder to hate him. Also I wouldn't exactly defend Jinwoo's actions. But I don't like Minjae too. Or maybe this story is not written as good as the other one ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I read the other story and .... I just don't understand people calling Minjae jealous of Jiwoo or saying he was ungrateful... like did we read the same story? Jiwoo's flashbacks show clearly how he was never clear/honest with Minjae about his feelings, and then one day he got tired and left (dating his brother was awesome? not really, but that's not a sin either).
There relationship was not perfect from the beginning so whatever Minjae did was not wrong whatsoever. But Minjae WAS jealous of Jinwoo. Its not explicitly stated. I don't remember if it is there in this story.... but in DYSLM, there was this scene where Jinwoo was ranting to Minwoo about that freckled specs bastard ( something along the lines of if you're not talented why do you blame me for it) and Minjae's reaction made it obvious that he felt kinda inferior cuz he related.
but that's it, you can feel jealous toward someone you like or care about (/TДT) it's not the worst thing in the world, it's a common human reaction. Anyways, I'm happy that they both got to move on with their lives
I haven't read the other story yet, just this one.
But why are people defending a rap*st? As if Minjae has been the one who has >actually< committed a crime??? I swear...
