no he is being overprotective, in a modern country like south korea you can't be unaware of the danger of smoking. Haebom is an adult he knows what he's doing and it's not like he's been forced to stay while the red haired guy was smoking. And as far as I know the red haired guy wasn't smoking in a closed area.
well, haebom is just trying to be polite. i’m pretty sure his superior has ulterior motives towards him so it’s not wrong of taesung to be a little bit cautious and overprotective. the fact that they weren’t clear about their relationship (especially haebom) could be sending mixed signals and making taesung feel a bit insecure or threatened. it’s not like he’s suspecting him of cheating or limiting who he can or can’t talk to... i don’t think it’s that serious lok
i don't think he is being polite. i think he just wants to talk with his superior and the only moment he can is when they are on break (and that moment is when he smokes). Taesung has the right to feel insecure but he should talk to Haebom as they always did instead of venting his unfounded jealousy (bc yeah the red haired guy may seem to have ulterior intentions but he never did anything not harmed Haebom in any way for now)
isn't Taesung being overprotective ? i mean Haebom is an adult and he can perfectly tell the red haired guy if he doesn't want him to smoke when he's near him like wow.
