Staying Neutral (long post)

Let's Keep in Mind:

Noh Seonyun (Chinese guy) has:

- tortured and messed with countless people before (including those in the school he used to be in, orange haired boy, jinha, and siwon)

-kidnapped, drugged, and sexually assaulted siwon

Kang Jinha has:

-never been open/understanding enough to open a rational conversation with siwon, and always blames siwon when they have problems (unless siwon shouts at him)

-has not changed as a person at all over the course of this manwha

Go Siwon has:

-failed to recognize a lot of hints / literally no common sense at times

-constantly fights with jinha, and blames him for his problems as well

-still not accepted that he's mega gay

-also has not changed as a person pver the course of the manwha either

Orange haired boy (forgot his name lmao) has:

-gone from homophobic/in denial to accepting of his sexuality (literally the only developed character)

-moved passed his crush on siwon because he knows he kinda likes jinha (i could be wrong on that though idk)

-been assaulted by Noh Seonyon despite being basically unrelated to the situation
-----------------

In other words, no one is innocent except orange haired boy. I love him and am proud of how he has changed.

I also enjoy the other main characters, but they are very problematic. I can no longer ship any of them together, yet I'd still like to see where this goes. (for orange haired boy's sake)

What are your opinions though? I'd like to hear different viewpoints!

tl;dr - everyone is at fault except orange haired boy, what an absolute cutie

    Yeah, I agree. I have to admit that at this point I'm very disspointed in Siwon, Jinha, and Seonyun, to say the least. Honestly, I'm lowkey pissed at all 3 of them off and on. Usually, authors will make it slightly subtle, if not blatantly obvious, about the intentions and true emotions of the heart's of the characters. But, with everyone being so deceptive and wishy-washy, I have no clue where this is gonna go. I'll still continue reading this for the sake of closure only.
    I wouldn't say that the ginger kid was homophobic, I think he was just (like you said) in denial about his feelings towards Siwon, if not, trying to hide them. It was revealed in one of the flashbacks that he's had these feelings for him since shortly after they became friends. But I don't think that he likes Jinha (what do I know tho. I can't keep up tbh) I think he just realizes that he kinda doesn't have a chance against Jinha and so he just wants Siwon to be happy so he's giving Jinha a little push, like, "hey, you need to start picking up your game because I'm worried about him. I can't reach him. I feel like he'll talk to you apart from anyone else but you just don't seem to care so..."
    But, yeah. Personally, I like a little bit of adversity in love stories and I feel a little underwhelmed by the almost Disney-like endings in some manhwas and mangas (especially one-shots most of the time) but this is honestly ridiculous. There has to be an end at some point.
