definitely fully empathize with Haneul there, but he lowkey misdirected his anger towards Yeoreum. he didn't even let Yeorum finish speaking lol
as a gay man who's closeted, I think every closeted person's situation is different. in my opinion, they should only be considered cowards once they actively participate in anti-LGBT behavior (like politicians for example). for Yeorum's case, he was afraid of being homeless. in the U.S. alone, 28% of LGBT youth are reported to be homeless!
I like the realism though. sometimes, it's easy to judge closeted people for staying silent, but a lot of people forget how financially dependent high schoolers and university students are on their parents. coming out carelessly can get them physically abused or even k*lled depending on their family's religious and cultural beliefs.
to all closeted queer readers out there, stay strong! coming out is your choice alone, there is nothing wrong with prioritizing your safety.
