agreeee this author is pretty amazing to tell a story with so much feeling. I've never seen abuse explored so real before and nobody was expecting it at all (which makes it even more real honestly). It's very rare for me to feel emotionally invested in any work of fiction but this one did it hard
I'm getting a bit pissed at how many people are talking shit about this.
As for Shiwoo:
Not everyone handles a situation the same way. Some may handle it in a way others think are idiotic.
Shiwoo handled his relationship the only way he felt he could. The fear he felt for Hyun drowned out everything else.
Never underestimate fear. Fear is not to be scoffed at.
All he longed for was for someone to love him, and Hyun offered that.
As for Yujin, yes, he's being a bit of a dick. But he's still pretty immature, with the mindset that everything revolves around him. It's only human. He also had no idea of what Hyun was doing to Shiwoo. He believed it had only ever happened those two times, and that both were Hyun telling him to piss off.
He's angry right now because he's feeling hurt. From his point of view, Shiwoo knew what he was doing. I don't think Yujin has fully processed what happened yet. He believed there's a good guy and a bad guy, but those roles are all screwed up for him. He doesn't really know what to do, and it's just confusion and frustration, and the fact that he still likes Shiwoo even after all those years and events, all that is just extremely frustrating to him.
Hyun is just a manipulative narcissist with an obsession with Shiwoo. He's nearly lost his mind with possessiveness. Not that I'm defending him.
I'm in love with this author. Trauma and psychology have always fascinated me, and I was hoping to come across something like this. Killing stalking is really good, but I find the cast of this story much more intriguing. I love this whole thing so much.
Okay, I'm sorry for how long this got.
If anyone made it this far thanks for reading. :) love see you again
