Upon reading the comments, I chose to skip more than half of the story and started reading from Ch 60. onwards. I guess the story is too close to reality and having to know some people who are recovering from abuse and the like, I just wish for a happy ending. A girl can dream, right?
Everyone is not the same. Each handles things differently. The way the hyung's state, for me, is understandable. Not everyone can easily snap out of that condition. It may take years to recover or not at all but they try at the very least. It's a constant struggle people like him face every waking hour. Hyung's character needs someone to be by his side who will patiently understand and care for him and not pity him. It's a hard thing to do and it will be difficult for both of them, but they still fight for what they have, for their happiness and for themselves. Not everyone is mentally strong. Hopefully, the author will show how hyung recovers as the story progresses, with his own will and with his friends' help; and for his partner to grow as well, so they can live healthily and happily.
