I mean yeah I get it, but suicide is always preluded by mental illness. Outside of cultural punishment or ritualistic practices, there isn't a single case of suicide by a healthy person. There are plenty of people who experience the same struggles but DONT kill themselves. As a psychologist, I don't like blaming a single person for someone else's suicide because it trivializes the victims suffering. Yes, Donghyun fucked up. But blaming him takes the focus away from Taejun. When we say that most victims of suicide show no outward symptoms of depression, we're just protecting the people who never noticed from blaming themselves. It's very likely Taejun always was suffering some way. Some of the most creative people are. We take the beauty of their existence to mean their life itself is beautiful. And for the sake of not disappointing those people who believe the best in us, we suffer in silence and with a smile on our face.
I'm not saying this to absolve Donghyun. Maybe it's possible Taejun would be alive without his interference. Maybe Taejun would have killed himself anyway when Seheons father took too long to leave his wife. But issues like these really get to me because I feel like a lot of people are so focused on finding something to blame that they forget to find a way to prevent tragedy from happening again.
I understand thay, I do, but that does not change the fact that he completely overstepped his boundsa potentially bad situation worse. I never blamed him for the death entirely, but his actions were not coming from a helpful place, it was jealousy. His actions were uncalled for and selfish, and he did it knowing that he was hurting this person for his own selfish gains. There may be more to the story, than that, and my opinion might change when and if we learn more, which is what the 'if' was for in my first statement. But as it stands, I think what he did sucked.
If Donghyun is insinuating what I think he is...

...then he has no right to be talking about having feelings for Seheon. I need to wait for a little more explaination to be certain, but according to what I read on Lezhin, he reported Taejun and Seheon's father's relationship to the college they were all a part of. Either that, or he sent an ananonymous photo and letter staying that he saw them and would report if the father didn't break it off, and we all know that he did...as well as what it lead to. Dude...you instigated something that was not your situation to feal with. I understan that they were friends and he didn't like seeing whay Taejun was going through, but you cannot force people to change. Attempting it never usually ends well. That was between Seheon, his mother, father, and Taejun. He overstepped his bounds, and it lead to his friend's suicide and a lifetime of hurt for three other people. So glasses dude, if you did what I think you've done, please kindly stay in your own lane and keep that ass out of Seheon's face.
