Taku DOESN'T equal Toxic

i find his interest in haesoo since the start experimental and out of curiosity. he was testing the waters, trying to figure out who haesoo was considering the variables that made him "attractive" in his eyes (photography philosophy???). he always seemed sketchy but at the same time it also looked like his normal personality. but then we see him realizing haesoo had a relationship with his "step brother" so he shows CURIOSITY and INTEREST and decides to push further. and when he meets joowon who he cant agree with he becomes even more interested.

there was obviously nothing serious between them at the time; casual sex but then a revelation that he was returning to japan soon? so basically did he just seduce a guy just to tell him he was leaving the country soon? i dont blame him for having a short term half assed motive cause haesoo didnt mind either. but still, um, short time booty call? the mere concept of a trial relationship is ridiculous too.

now that they're "trial dating" theres still a line between them and he's clearly trying to break through that cause ig he grew some feelings. but what really hit the mark is his obsession with joowon. "loving jealousy" is not the way to go. a genuine relationship wouldve be possible between them if they weren't thinking about the past (joowon) while they held each other.

basically the three characters here are toxic. and we cant measure their toxicity cause they arent even similar. so that just means joowon is toxic. haesoo is toxic. taku is toxic. they're just individually toxic in their own ways.

The comment section is the most toxic imo lol. Thats why I stopped coming here for quite some time

Ight thank you for your perspective.

Let me quote you some phrases Taku said real quick:
„Every time I saw how sad you were, it felt good. I know it‘s selfish. That you were lonely. That you would need me, because of your unhappiness. I told you what you desperately wanted to hear, gave you the emotional support you needed. It wasn’t hard... to give you the warmth you so craved.“

Also idk which chapter this is from I saw it on Twitter. But in conclusion: all 3 main characters in this story are toxic bye :*

crap so haesoo really has been played around by both men ughhh

the way you worded your comment made me laugh lmao. i have no thesis for you, but i also don't think taku is toxic even though i'm pro jowoon x haesoo

i do think taku is very narcissistic/selfish but i wouldn't say toxic. toxic would be those semes we see in other mangas that rape their partners all the fucking time. now THAT is poison ╥﹏╥

In what way is selfish? (Not trying to sound/be rude, just being curious george)

@lotus He does things for his own pleasure only. Very self-centered. I have nothing against that - by this definition, I'm quite selfish myself.
