Maybe pity but that is manwha thing. if someone does that irl they’re stupid as shit how you gonna drop someone like that
There's also the layer of seo-in's original parents being criminals. That kind of thing is really looked down upon and it becomes an association thing in conservative countries. Like "what if he's like his parents too" type shi. It still doesn't make sense but uk
It may not be the kids at first but parents can be really cruel and kids tend to mirror the atmosphere around the adults. If they sniffed something like that, it possibly can turn into a bullying situation which it already is! My boy is being actively abused by his bro. No wonder he is afraid
this is not an attack on any characters btw, it’s obvious that seo-in will be insecure since he’s being actively and has been actively bullied by his brother and basically all of his brother’s friends. It was just surprising that a notion of a kid un-friending another kid because he found out his parents are bad people + he’s adopted is a very unfamiliar and insane concept.
Nah nah u good. Idk why but I read your rethroical questions as a gen question mb
so like obviously this is a fictional story, but in what world would someone drop their friend because they found out they were adopted???
