Because drama
No. It was because if he mentions that it was to protect someone people will talk and ask who that person he protected then later on they had to drag Haesoo in this, that's what he's trying to prevent.
*spoiler*
you'd be surprised how joowon turned out in this one
Raw link?
*laughs in broke*
sorry im not too sure where the raws are, besides i dont buy everything. i only buy chapters which i think are worth it cuz im also broke
Toonkor has like 3 chapters that you can see (but in Korean)
where plspls
He could’ve have just said it was to protect a friend who had been bullied! Was it so hard?
So now Haesoo is running to him to see what the heck is going on, will hear that he took all the blame, which will definitely hurt his career, and Haesoo is probably going to try and solve things by outing that Joowon was defending him. (Which could be what would reunite them ).
But he’s gonna miss the art thing and Taku is going to take it bad.
I can see the drama coming from miles away lol
