Well, I wouldn't say it's just a plain butterfly, because the tiger felt as if it was the first living being that loved him (I guess Neero doesn't count as they've been friends forever), so he became someone really important to him and he ended up loving him back.
PD: Sorry if my English isn't very good, I'm Spanish and I'm still learning xD
I.....cant help you lol go back and read it again. It was someone he had known before. The butterfly loved the tiger with his whole heart and the tiger was moved by that. These are not human beings, they are celestial creatures. The butterfly could talk and interact with the fox and the tiger. It was a pure and profound love and when the butterfly died the tiger realized he really did love the butterfly too. We cant think of it as regular human love. I mean it is a tiger and a butterfly but they loved each other just the same.
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ like i said i cant help you. He is not a human. He is a mythical tiger who had never been shown pure, undemanding affection from another living creature. It didnt matter that he was a great tiger and the other a plain butterfly. Idk I felt it, I understood their feelings. The arc with their story ripped my heart out. You're definitely entitled to your opinion but to me their feelings makes the story. Without it this manhwa would feel basic and common.
...but I really don't understand the hype with the butterfly. I would maybe understand if he was someone known before, but it's just a plain butterfly...Plus the tiger became so ooc it's painful to watch...
