To be called trash by your crush you've yearned and admired for years. That would be heartbreaking for anyone. The Painter has tied much of his hopes and dreams to his teacher, likely always telling himself he'd be happy just being near his teacher. He probably only distantly dreamed of there ever being intimacy. The Painter's love was pure and giving.
However, the teacher finds the Painter so low and disgusting that he seems nauseated by the thought of the Painter's adoration and love. I think deep, deep down the teacher is envious of the Painter. The teacher is not talented at poetry or writing. He was stuck as a rural town teacher in the sticks. Yoon saw right through him. The man has zero talent, but that lowborn Painter is a natural-born artist brimming with talent that the teacher will never have.
I think the teacher is a bitter, insecure creature who has to undermine or tear down the Painter's self-esteem because he can't stand the thought that the Painter surpasses him in artistic talent.
The teacher is just a talentless hack.
The Painter only wishes for his crush to flourish even if he doesn't get anything out of it in return. Meanwhile, the teacher wants the Painter to fail because of his own weaknesses.
Can Yoon go slap the shit out of the teacher right now? Those are some slaps I would enjoy.
