alsoooo i hate the mother way more because just imagine how she must’ve brought up the evil brother for him to turn out this way? (i can’t remember his name for the life of me). saw someone else say this and i agree wholeheartedly and wanted to drop this higher for more reach but i honestly wouldn't even fully blame jaewon for acting that way. first off he's a child, the reason why he's acting so toxic must be because of his mother. there aren’t really any other external influences. who knew what he had to go through when the mother couldn't move on from the death of the other twin. he probably didn't receive enough love. not to excuse his shitty behaviour but he needs help too. the mother’s way of grieving is just not right especially because she clearly hasn’t moved on and that probably makes jaewon feel like he has never been enough for his mother. like she’s always looking for something that was absent in the first place, but he’s real so why is she neglecting him for someone who’s dead? (most likely from his pov as a child and i’m aware i’m making assumptions). then again yes, grief and child loss is so harsh on a person, i feel terrible for her but not like this man. don’t do this.
i actually had a feeling that the brothers weren’t actually as close as it was made out to seem since when his brother was introduced early on and it always felt like seoin always felt uncomfortable when thinking about him. even the hold during the kiss was weird. the flashbacks also did not give the vibe of any amicable bond poor seoin, man. anyway i hope seoin cleans up and treats mc well. i also have a feeling that his brother doing judo and him liking mc for his judo are linked. maybe mc beat his brother? and that made seoin think that his brother CAN actually be bested and that’s why he says that his eyes were always on mc during the judo tournament even if he came bronze. wonder if his brother placed in that but then again, if they look so similar mc should’ve recognised his face? also in a flashback, you can see mc, seoin and his evil brother hang out so i wonder how that dynamic worked out. also popular unpopular opinion, the real villain in this is his mother for not considering her home situation and KNOWINGLY bringing seoin despite knowing that his brother wasn’t going to take it (as shown in the last chapter, she knows, she just wants seoin to play his part in this act and suck it up). yeah.. phew, sorry that was long
