also that crybaby pmo so bad like why does he keep going to mc when he knows that rat wld ...

So the person being abused should just not try to reach out for help? Just take one for the team? Are you actually insane?

ask the teachers? he saw how he was beat up for helping him the first time? he cld try asking someone else right

Bro is being publicly bullied, even now without that psycho he has new bullies that have been going on for a while. I genuinely doubt the teachers are unaware of it, they just wont step in. Nobody stepped up to help but the MC.
Even in real life, bullied kids are scared to go to teachers cause even if it's something they should do, sometimes it doesn't work out. Even teachers can fail to stop it.

Plus if you remembered his back story, he doesn't want to bother his old grandparents to have to move again. He needs help but can't bring himself to give trouble to his guardians, kids are like that. So he's gonna try the only one who he thought would stand up for him.
He even tried to go to MC in secret, he didn't know that psycho would find him at night??

the MC offered to report the abuser but he just brushed it off? if he is prioritising his granmas health more than someone who GETS BEATEN UP BECAUSE HE HELPED HIM then i question his morals. ik being abused is hard but it gets to a point when u start burdening others and MC clearly does NOT like him and feels forced to be “nice” to him. if the teachers dont care go to the cops? wdym u dont wanna burden granma but are okay with other ppl getting hurt ? even if hes a victim its okay to admit that he cld have made better choices . at school when the other guy wasnt there anymore he cld have gon to MC and apologised for the injuries he got for helping him? which he didnt . MC is also a victim and just because he has a grey area type of personality doesnt mean taesang is an angel either. ppl who choose to do nothing effective about their problem and instead cause others problems are not angels. MC is also a victim he is also injured? but hes not going around making other people get hurt bcs of him. MC does not gaf abt him getting beaten and he hates being nice but feels forced to be and thats understandable.

if the public bullying is bad he shld have accepted mcs help in reporting the bullies. he CHOSE to let that offer go. if ure not helping urself dont expect constant sympathy from others

Yo, you make think its dumb to not want to bother his grandparents, but HE'S A KID and kids don't make the smartest choices!! He an Mc are completely different people. MC can keep shit to himself in his dedication to keeping appearnaces. Taesan is weak but sefless.Going to the cops would have STILL caused trouble and worry for his grandparents, Again, still a kid with not the smartest choices. Maybe you just don't like those type of characters, but he isn't at fault for being bullied.

And idk too much about korean society, but I wouldn't be surprised if they would try to keep bullying under wraps since a police report would affect public reception. But there are 0 adults in the story, it's SOLELY about how cruel bullying and students can be in korean schools.

Like I said, he literally tried to meet MC in SECRET so he WON'T get beat up. Anything that psycho does is NOT his fault, because you can't control a psycho. Bobody said he's an angel, but saying he purposely tried to put MC in harms way is weird. Especially since MC is the one who stepped up to "help" him first.
