This was a pretty good read. Although the art and dialogues could've been better, the flow of the story was really good. Minjae to an extent deserves to be hated. Now I know he had trauma and all but Lee Sunho also went through the same trauma in a way, which shows that if Minjae wanted to, he could have not chose to do what he did with the father's son, he could've chosen to be a better person the same way Lee Sunho was. There aren't any specific panels justifying my point of Lee Sunho being a good person in his school life but it can definitely be assumed from the parts where he tried to help Minjae when the orphanage director harassed him, or when he tried to ask for help from Minjae. now you might ask what is the connection between asking for help and being good, well if you think about it, asking for help shows that Lee Sunho didn't want to be in the position he was in, he wanted way out. But in case of Minjae, rather than asking a trusted adult for a way out, he poured out his anger and frustration by making the father's son suffer. Minjae was selfish throughout the story so it feels a bit weird for him to be so self sacrificing only for the sake of his father's revenge. Why does he care about the revenge? He never cared about killing the boy. All he cared about was his father so why at the end, he wants to redeem himself for the sake of his father? I know there are no logical replies to these questions because emotions and logics can't be weighed the same, hence it makes this story realistic. The characters are written really well when it makes the readers hate Minjae despite knowing about his own trauma. It puts the readers in a dilemma.
