...ppl in love do crazy things tho, love is a lot of emotions, like care, jealousy etc. i see a lot of ppl judging love and saying its something else when it may just be love and they are denying that persons emotion bc they dont find there actions right or just dont know what to do with them. so objectively i think sungjoon didnt know how else to act then that, he loves him so he didnt want to give him up.
*spoilers* I've read the whole thing and even the dude knows what he's done. I, too, recognize his faults but all throughout it I kept on giving him chances to prove himself. I love him nonetheless haha. His character is so well-written too.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with not knowing what to do. But from the way things are going, he knows exactly what he’s doing. He keeps saying “I don’t want Naru to do this, I don’t want Naru to do that.” And while it’s nothing wrong to look out for your best friend, there’s boundaries that he is crossing because he wants Naru to himself. He knows what he’s doing. Sungjoon is very aware of it. Yes love does make you do crazy things, and yes of course he doesn’t want to give him up. But his actions... his actions are not right and he knows they’re not yet he keeps doing it. It’s like he says it’s for Naru but it’s really for himself. Why else would he meet Somi in secret? Why else would he give both of them advice like that? It’s messed up.
His character is very well written. It’s entertaining see all their interactions. I just don’t like the way he’s going about things. It’s giving Naru more insecurities that he doesn’t need.
period!
I see alot of people think that Sungjoon did everything out of love..... you don’t sabotage all of your friends romantic relationships and sneak around behind their backs like that out of love. He knows Naru wants a relationship, he’s always wanted one. Instead of supporting that, he gave him flip flop advice and messed up his love life for his own satisfaction. It’s manipulative especially because he’s aware Naru trusts him and will believe anything he says. He also knows Naru doesn’t have experience so he can do whatever he wants without Naru realizing. None of this is out of love and I can’t believe people are saying he is. Think about this objectively.
