I didn't think of this point of view at all, thanks for pointing it out, I mean the situation with San. I agree so much with this, is not even funny. I think some people here are doing exactly what the friend did, letting the intrusive thoughts win lmfao cause wtf why attack the dude like that chill

As much as I agree, if he was as smart as you make him out to be, he would have the mean to the very least empathise and acknowledge his friends discontent, I'm not saying kiss his ass and hug him but to at least bite your tongue for someone else's pain instead of making it about himself. He is a total narcissist and only chose to hang close to MC when he saw his boyfriend for his own benefit. Yes he can be bummed but he should have the capacity as a grown ass man to allow a situation to not be about him. I know this as I live in a family filled with narcissistic people, he acts as if he is in highschool, he can still muster the courage to talk to his crush BY HIMSELF just like the MC

You missed the point. Doyoon was pissed because MC has no interaction with Sunbae which means Doyoon can't have encounter with San. So Doyoon blamed MC for it. Readers never asked him to be comforting for MC, just be a god damn normal friend instead of being egotistic.
Not to mention all his inner yap by being annoyed in ever situation that didn't advantage him.

First I didnt make it as if it was very smart of him. I said it is just very REAL of him that he let his intrusive thoughts win and blurt out that backhanded comment on how bummed he is that he might not see his crush more now they broken up. I know for sure once in your life a backhanded comment slipped out of your tongue, but that doesnt mean youre a bad person.
Second he didnt just hang out with MC just bec of ML. Although they were not really that close, they hang out even before MC and ML knew each other. They just have something in common- being both gay unbeknowst to their group. They just talk alot of things together when MC and ML started dating bec ofc of San.
Also, his char has always been shown as not caring about the other people's business unless it concerns San and you expect him to be emphatetic? That's a stretch. At least he is not selfish to force MC to get back to ML just for the sake of seeing San more. He might not be nice with his words but he gave the most straightforward answer to MC's worries. Sometimes you just need someone who'll knock you back to reality and that doesnt always come in empathy or kind words
Im sorry to hear you have a family filled with narcissist people but a single backhanded comment doesnt warrant to self diagnose someone as narcissist.
For those who are saying, why can't he just approach San by himself: like did he ever say he wanted to? I think it was pretty clear that he don't have intentions taking it to the next level coz it might compromise whatever interaction have.
I mean let's be real, you don't get a chance to see your crush always and now there's chance that it be more lessen bec they broke up? Of course I'm sad for my friend's break up, but I'll ALSO be bummed not seeing my crush! If you'll not feel a shread of being bummed for that matter, you're a hypocrite. He's not selfish, he just let his intrusive thoughts win and became honest with that fact and said it to MC. Also, if he's selfish, he'd tell MC to just get back to ML regardless of what reason so that he can continue seeing San with no problems. But no, he just spit out facts and be direct about what's on the table. Like, if you decided to side with the rumours you're hearing, don't mope around and be half assed about it. He had that rep even before and in fact, MC is also one of those who don't have a good impression on him. But he decided to date him coz he saw something good in him, now just bec of his past he just gave up like that? So who's not taking it seriously? Man up or if you feel you're regretting it, go back with him.
If you feel he's rude bec he's not being comforting, I mean is he his mother? Not all friends will be like hugging, you pat your shoulder or say nice things want to hear
during Ted Talks. I mean especially between guys (and to think they're not even like super besties), they will either brush off the topic or just say their two cents straightforwardly then move on.
I can't believe the commenters here are like bunch of marshmallows lashing out on Dohyun. He is in fact the realest here spitting facts here and there. If you don't have at least one friend like Dohyun, then you should probably get to know the outside world more.
