It is weird, but I think you're simplifying it. Suhyeok has tried to approach Seunghee before he realised Seunghee knew who Kyubin's crush is, but Seunghee was extremely hostile to him, so he gave up trying to be his friends. He approached him again to find out Kyubin's crush.
I feel like a lot of people have forgotten why he did it in the first place. Inbeom was pretty much tormenting him---since he was young, Inbeom has bullied him, ordering him around, stealing his food, stealing his money, wearing his summer uniform out and making him suffer from heat exhaustion. If you had a chance to help your bully and he'll finally leave him alone, most people would do so.
I'm not justifying what Suhyeok did, but he didn't do it for fun. He did it because he wanted to stop getting bullied. And he has tried to approach Seunghee beforehand, but Seunghee basically flipped him off. If someone did that to you, you wouldn't keep trying to be his friend, would you?
>It is weird, but I think you're simplifying it.
Because that's what it is at its roots, the context isn't applicable in a situation where it isn't relevant to the point. This isn't a 'ends justify the means' moment, he fully went into the situation with the intent of using Seungee on the second.
>Suhyeok has tried to approach Seunghee before he realised Seunghee knew who Kyubin's crush is, but Seunghee was extremely hostile to him, so he gave up trying to be his friends. He approached him again to find out Kyubin's crush.
>2nd point
If you're going to try pull a 'context matters' teas, then you best realise that there was a reason why Seunghee was so hostile to everyone in the first place; Given that his background is even more tragic than the other.
>I'm not justifying what Suhyeok did, but he didn't do it for fun. He did it because he wanted to stop getting bullied.
I didn't say he did it for fun. Either way, it refutes nothing, it's still weird no matter how you try to spin it. Unnecessarily bringing others in your drama is literally what Seunghee complained about with Kyubin and Seungtaek and their situation.
>but Seunghee basically flipped him off. If someone did that to you, you wouldn't keep trying to be his friend, would you?
Unless they had something I needed, like information on who a certain someone's crush is.¯_(ツ)_/¯
How is it weird when he's desperate and both him and Inbeom are emotionally and mentally drained? Not trying to sound rude or offended, just want to get different perspectives on this whole shebang.
oppalogists???? wtf people here have barely approved of suhyeok pulling this shit. and UHHH EVERYONE HERE ARE GUYS LMFAO or are you being heteronormative and assuming that just because seunghee is the prettier one, he's the "girl" and suhyeok is the "oppa"??
like itadakimasu and the other comment, why do you think it's weird? if you mean it's shady then obviously. suhyeok has an obvious reason why he done it. to get rid of inbeom. ain't like he's doing it 'cause he's into kyubin. did you miss the whole part of him and inbeom fighting
Don't you see trying to involve someone completely unrelated (Seunghee) in your drama (Conflict with Inbeom) simply for the sake of your own benefit (Getting Inbeom out) as weird and borderline manipulation?
Uh, that's quite scary if you think context doesn't matter. Context always matters. If context doesn't matter, then the whole manhwa wouldn't make sense. Can I pretend I never read that Seunghee, due to his family issues, is now coping by being hostile? Does it make sense that I write off him being hostile as just having a horrid personality?
No, I'm not trying to pull a tea... Isn't 'tea' a term for exposing someone? I don't know you. As I've said before, you're acting as though I've offended you. Please don't take things personally on here. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or fight you.
So, you're saying that Seunghee is allowed to project his trauma onto others? Then, can you justify someone cheating or abusing someone because they were previously abused? This is a really concerning line of thinking.
Is Seungtaek justified in letting Kyubin take the fall because his parents suffocated him while he grew up, drilling him with academics all day long and even choosing his friends for him?
Is Kyubin justified in messing with Seunghee and blackmailing him for crossdressing, because his family died in a car accident? I'm really not sure how you forgot that, it's pretty much the most tragic point in the manhwa that Kyubin lost his entire family at a young age and his grandma, due to her sickness, cannot visit him often. He's lived a good deal of his childhood by himself without any guidance or love.
Is Inbeom justified in kissing Seungtaek without consent, tormenting him and beating him multiple times because his parents got divorced and both saw him as a burden, refusing to take custody of him?
Again, you're missing the point. I think it's your phrasing. Weird has the connotation of odd, like it doesn't make sense. It makes sense why Suhyeok does what he does. Just like it makes sense why Inbeom expresses his love for Seungtaek by beating him---because he doesn't know how to cope with his feelings. Does it make it right? No.
Things making sense and things being justified are two different ideas. You would understand why Seunghee is hostile to everyone he meets because he doesn't want to deal with another loss due to his trauma. Does it mean he's justified in cursing at a random, nice girl who tries to make friends with him? No.
Your last point doesn't make sense. I've reiterated that Suhyeok approached Seunghee to get information. But people make it sound like he's only cared about Seunghee when he became useful. That's incorrect. Suhyeok has tried before to make friends with Seunghee, but backed off when Seunghee lashed out at him for seemingly no good reason.
Oh and just to add, it seems to me that Suhyeok wasn't as manipulative as people think he is. He offered to take revenge on Kyubin for Seunghee if Seunghee helped him. If Seunghee were to agree, he probably would have explained to Seunghee what he needed---who Kyubin liked. In fact, he's never pressed Seunghee about Kyubin after a short time of offering that "revenge" pact. He gets lost when Seunghee is annoyed, he helped him with the pedo, and didn't use it against Seunghee to get information on Kyubin. Presumbaly, only if Seunghee agreed to this mutual exchange, would he ask for information about Kyubin.
As Inbeom has said, Suhyeok suddenly stopped wanting to find out any information about Kyubin. Suhyeok liked Seunghee, so he stopped offering that "revenge" exchange and gave up trying to push his bully out of his home. Still, he did try to get closer to Seunghee to learn about Kyubin, so he's absolutely wrong for doing so.
I never said it didn't matter, I said it's not applicable to the point I'm trying make. Which is that it's WEIRD to approach someone with the intent Suhyeok had. Which it is, and you agreed.
And no, teas isn't used like that. That's tea, but even then it's only ever used by white girl/stan twitter in that context. Teas is just general vibes; e.g. (if x reminds me of y, i would say "y teas" as it reminds me of them. Replace vibes with teas and you'd get a general understanding of what i mean, it's more of a gay stan thing). My bad if I'm coming off as a cunt, got exams for my masters tomorrow and just venting out negative emotions right now, so don't feel bad. You're probably right but I'm way too overemotional right now to admit otherwise.
No, I'm saying if you're going to take the context of Suhyeok's past into account, why aren't you taking Seunghee's too when you're using Suhyeok's as a catalyst for his actions? Neither are justified in their actions, but that doesn't make what Suhyeok did right either. I concede on the point where I try to justify Seunghee's actions though, I was wrong on that.
I used weird in the sense it isn't normal, the situation in which Suhyeok approached Seunghee isn't normal. Just because it makes sense in his perspective doesn't mean it's normal, how many situations would you typically see like this?
Read third point.
The last point was a joke.
It's a play on words, or did you just not get the joke? Because it's seeming to be the latter.
you: *uses the wrong term*
you: UHH IT’S A JOKE LOL U R DUMB U DONT GET IT HAHAhaha sobs.........
EVERYONE IS AN OPPA BRO THEY ARE ALL BOYS DO YOU EVEN KOREAN
Excuse me, but I find your answers incredibly perfect and coherent.
I have no idea how to fave an answer so I’ll just leave this here
Something tells me you don't know what a pun or what wordplay is in general.
In fact, your whole post is screaming this right now; https://i.imgur.com/dTcAHZc.jpg

Well, yes, it definitely can be taken that way. But he was upfront with Suenghee on exacting revenge from the very beginning. And we also have to keep in mind that not everyone has a strong moral compass, especially teens, and with what Suhyeok has had to go through with Inbeom, he's looking for any way out. It definitely might not be the right thing to do and it's definitely a mistake he will have to repeatedly apologize to Seunghee for, but then that's like saying all mistakes are weird. Suhyeok seems to care for Seunghee, so his punishment will be the pain he gets from losing the trust of someone he cares for, and that is when he will learn and develop as a character rather than being a morally strict goody-two shoes straight from the get-go.
The mental gymnastics trying to make it seem like approaching someone with the intent of finding out someone's crush to kick your cousin out is totally fine and casual and not weird af.
Oppalogists I swear.
