I thought I was tripping! But I don’t think I would break up with someone over them analyzing me as a person to use for a work of fiction, unless it was a horrific depiction of me. I think I might be a bit upset and pitch a fit for a bit but the ML if pushing his trauma onto the MC. Also it’s clear that the MC is on the spectrum so I don’t know why the ML is expecting him to act ‘normal’ when he’s clearly stated that he doesn’t understand normal ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Well, he isn't pushing his trauma into ML. He have a trauma about being used & MC did just that. It doesn't help that MC was the reason he somewhat overcome it in some way. It's a double hurt & a huge blow to his trust.
And like you said, MC isn't "normal". We see that he really love him as we share is though but did he really reveal himself to ML ? Not exactly. And not he learn that maybe he wasn't really in love but just using him for his writting. I don't think anyone could be "logical" in this situation. It's a pure emotional response. And like ML said, he didn't even apologize yet.
I know we want lovey dovey stuff but they cannot butcher characters just because we want too at some point. They will reconcile and make their relationship even stronger if it can reassure you. :)
Naaah I love them together but bffr. The way things happened is more than enough justification for the ML feeling betrayed and used. The literal thing he valued the most about Dohu (and what made him fall for him) was that he approached him with no ulterior motives, and then discovered that he got lied to his face about all that. If you really care and love someone you don't get to play with their traumas and pain, downgrading them as a quirky interesting back story for a character in a novel you will literally make money with. You're comercializing his pain. And really. A muse is supposed to bring out feelings that inspire you to create something new. Not to make a copy paste out of them. It is more than enough reason.
As far as I know it isn't clearly stated whether or not he copied and pasted Juheon's life unto his works. As far as I can remember, he only wrote his story inspired on the personality he observed from him. Based on that, there was no commercializing of pain.
But still, he used Juheon as inspiration for writing. He got closer to him because he wants to get inspiration. It's a very emotional outburst on Juheon's part stemming from having a trauma of being used. Dohu was his salvation because for the first time, someone didn't use him. But that just alleviates his fear truly. It didn't really resolve the root. Because what if Dohu used him? Then He'll be devastated. What if he love someone again because of those qualities? Then He'll think they somehow used him again? Then He'll be devastated again. It'll just be a cycle of his trauma being triggered. Because in the end, people will use you in this life in someways - to feel love, to feel happiness. In some ways, we use others. "Use" is a spectrum = it can be harmful or your source of both of your happiness. It's not a black and white concept. We all need each other in this world so we use each other to fulfill that "need". Juheon needs to understand that.
Dohu's response is also something I feel. My mind works that "he doesn't respond to me anymore so does that mean we broke up?" So I ask, "are we over? Is that what it means?" Apologies are useless at this point coz indeed, I triggered his trauma. I used him. I'm not even sure if I deserve him because of what I did.
They're so hard to watch because you can't fault any of them. Juheon with his trauma. You could even say he didn't even get out of the traumatic situation because he's constantly being reminded by his aunt. Dohu is probably on the spectrum so his perspective is kind of different from most of us.
Exactly! I get being upset but, SPOILER AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!
I read in the comments that it takes them 4 years of separation and then some to come back together. I personally think that’s excessive, but as a person who thrives on communication I also would have never let it get this far (￣∇￣"). Maybe I’m just fed up with the miscommunication trope in a lot of these stories where it takes years for stuff to be resolved, but I would much rather they just break up than do the whole timeskip bull ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Kinda the most stupid reason to break up
