i feel like you just dont understand that this story is badly written
Hence why I said this arc could be a turning point to not make it like some basic yaoi toxic relationship?
You can either take it on surface level or take the situation with certain kind of depth. Up to you. I definitely can understand where the author is coming from when they both were made tied to each other emotionally. In real life, before taking care of someone you need to take care of your emotion first.The sick cannot care for someone else when they themselves need help or else the vicious cycle will continue. In current situation he cannot even let him go. He doesn't have other choice but to work on himself asap or he will be dragging the MC together with him. It's painful but it's refreshing to see author manage to outline that, people will have to survive and change for the better no matter what. You just need to find the correct motivation/reason for it.
So I apologize if I offended you or any other peope who cannot understand this the way I did. We can agree to disagree whether the story is badly written or not. Only time will tell.
thats just not how it works, you cant fix a story with a single good arc (assuming its even good) when the foundation is a poorly written mess, everything in a story builds on itself.
you want to bring in real life? in real life any relationship dynamic even similar to this would not have a happy ending, it just the yaoi brainrot. in real life, red flags never turn into green flags.
and there is nothing deep about common sense of the sick needing to focus on themselves first.
this is just an absurd omega verse story for me that i check up on every time i see it trending because its so ridiculous to me.
but hey i dont meant to offended you ether, im just very perplexed at your explanation.
I feel like people here don't understand for someone broken inside and very expressive it wasn't an easy job for him to do as what the doctor says. The whole point of the arc tying him to MC is not for punishment but I guess it is there for him to take the chance to move on from his past, which includes making peace with his past and be a better person. This time it isn't just for himself but also for the people that he have hurted because of his past and broken self.
They're both broken in some way or another. What they both need to do to be at a better place is to embrace each other as a whole. Evidently, Saein has been doing that. I honestly wish it was this simple red flag green flag kind of situation. But knowing how it's pointless for him to act like he's ok because Saein can literally feel his energy despite whatever emotion he's displaying, internally and externally he has to be at a good place. I sympathize with him but also curious as to how he's going to make this happen. I mean this story is kind of twisted. Author should take full use of this arc to turn this story from a plain toxic storyline to something beyond that.
