Well hello there! Waited for your insights, and, as always, wasn't disappointed!
Yes I couldn't agree more, this is very on point. Jihwa really is a perfectly dramatic character, and in a very classical way too. He will bring destruction upon himself through his own actions. He's guided by the love, but in a twisted way. Almost immediately resorting to the murder as a solution (which suggested by someone else), without any second thoughts as to what he'll be causing. If it's true that Seungho loves that boy, he should know that by killing him, Jihwa will only torment and destroy his beloved Seungho more. The fact that he can't see it this way proves, that he's not just narcissistic, but also totally broken inside, with desperate, distorted mind amd emotions. He's not rational at all. If he understands SH so damn well, his actions should be polar opposite to what he's doing right now.
Sorry wanted to like it. But i agree i feel bad for jihwa after this chapter. I don't know how but i feel like he'll go back on killing nakyum. At leadt i hope so.
Love your insight too! These characters are so wonderfully complex and detailed. They almost feel like real people. The expression in their emotion is so good. And yes I agree, Jihwa is only worrying about what he wants. If he truly loves Seungho he should realize that Nakyum is making him actually feel love for the first time since he was a child. With all Seungho has been through its a miracle he could even bring himself to love anyone. Jihwa should let him be happy.

So it’s really clear in this chapter why Jihwa is so attached to Seungho. Not only were they childhood friends but they were also subjected to shameful treatments by their families to cure their homosexuality. Jihwa latches onto Seungho because they’ve been through a lot together and he knows the kind of torture he’s endured. Whether or not Jihwas father subjected him to the same kind of severe treatment and beatings as Seungho is kind of doubtful, but it was still hard for him nonetheless. Seungho is really the only person who can relate to Jihwa, and as such Jihwa wants to be loved by someone who also understands him. But Seungho is so emotionally stunted he is incapable of feeling that way about Jihwa on a deep level, maybe deep down he cares somewhat, as shown by the time he let him walk away unharmed after disrespecting him in his own home. His love for Nakyum was a very unexpected attachment even to Seungho and Jihwa feels abandoned being willing to love him through all the bad that has happened in their lives and instead giving his heart to a lowborn he just met.
