I'm quite sure he allowed her to stay for an extra week only after she almost kneeled down and begged him... And as I've mentioned, it's not like a bit of kindness will cost him his life unlike the one who saved him (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 I'm a big supporter of paying kindness back with kindness ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ but like by kindness in this case I don't mean pay for her new appt, I simply mean just tasking someone to look for rental places and showing those to her. Giving her less than 24h eviction notice is just inhuman considering it was the night before, then she is 8h at work, leaving her with like 5 hours in the evening to find a new place, sign a lease, move all of her stuff. An extremely rich dude not giving a shit about normal human beings and ready to throw them out to be homeless just leaves a slightly bad taste ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ also, sorry for the essay and thank you for coming to my Tedtalk! It might be because I know the awful struggle of finding a new place... Even a week feels impossible (especially if you want decent living conditions) let alone less than a freaking day.
I understand where u r coming from but i still think he wasn't THAT bad.
True, he let her after she almost kneeled to him. So what? He still let her. By letting her, he'll have to pay money while he sleeps outside, and i doubt he'll go to a cheap motel. He'll be outside for 7 days paying for every single night.
Having said this, i also agree paying kindness back w kindness.
True, he let her just one day to find a place but, by that, he means for her to go to a hotel or a motel while she figures out everything. It's nothing outrageous. And he moved out her stuff, she didn't do it. She could wait til she found a new place and then get her stuff.
It might leave kind of a bad taste, yes...but bruh, how could u expect him to be even slightly okay w sleeping in the same place as a complete stranger??? Like bruh?? Think of it the other way around, if u went home after a long time and there was a dude there without ur consent, would u let him stay? Mayb u would, but it wouldn't be comfortable. At least, most ppl wouldn't b, tho, ofc, that's just a supposition.
But ye, i'm also sorry for my long message lol. And true, the struggle to find a new decent place is so real ;-;
Wait, I don't think I ever insinuated that they should live together. They are complete strangers aftwr all... But still they *both* are victims of the situation. His attitude does not help me in the slightest with sympathising with him but I still try to do so. And so does the FL seeing how she was relieved that he at least didn't throw her stuff away. Btw, are you familiar with Asian cultures? Kneeling is one if the most humiliating things you cam do (though I guess that's everywhere?) which for me represented how utterly desparate she was, as in there was literally no other choice. Especially for a girl who was willing to walk around 20 different restaurants to find one that could hold 150 freaking people - she would have found a place if she could have. Leaving out this background story that he couldn't have known - at the very least he barged back in without informing his sister (though I am not quite sure who that place belongs to, but previous arrangements are still previous arrangements - he had allowed her to live there and he knew about it so he should have given her a prior notice) so he could have proposed a solution. Something like a) my secretary found this place, rent is this much a month, this is all I can do for you, b) go stay at a hotel, I will move your things to a storage in meantime, you have 3 days to get them or anything. If I'm not wrong, she was paying for half of that place, which means that she was an unknowing tenant being thrown out and had she had a contract with her friend (which she most likely unfortunately does not have) she could have sued him. To summarize, ideally adults should deal with stuff rationally and humanely but we need a bratty ML to have him experience a visible growth I guess... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Side note on the kneeling - the kind where you are paying respects is, of course, something completely different. I was just talking about kneeling as begging for something (a favour, forgiveness etc.) a person like that is throwing away their 'face' - i.e. Dignity, self-esteem, they position themselves humanely and physically as low as possible to show the other how much better they are, regarding them as monarchs or even gods. It's just something no human should feel the need to do because it's not only extremely humiliating, it also shows how this person has absolutely no other way out of the situation... ┗( T﹏T )┛ but on the bright side, ML still has enough decency to not let her do that and allow her an alternative (even though reaching this alternative needed for her to show her despair and helplessness )
Yes, idk why she was that desperate when she rlly could go to a motel? But ig she still thought that mayb he'd let her stay if she showed how desperate she was.
Besides that, yes, his personality doesn't help but ig that's just part of his character, not wanting to understand the other, which, ofc, is not an excuse...but it is relatable up to some point (which doesn't matter either). As for the options u said, i think so too but:
a) it still shouldn't be up to him to find her a place. Yes, it's easy to think of but to make ur secretary do that? Keeping in mind that he doesn't want to have anything to do w the mc? Also, that's very kind, but many ppl rn't like that.
b) He already proposed this to her before she kneeled.
And ye...guess we'll have to wait for his character growth lol.
i feel like we could also think about it from his perspective– he came back to korea and went to HIS house but somebody else whom he does not know is living there
so now he doesnt have a place to live unless this person who is staying in HIS house leaves
he is a bit of a jerk ab it but then again aren't all of the crazy rich good looking guys in manhwas jerks too
I do agree his attitude was a bit too mean, but again shes a freeloader, she doesn't pay rent (the ml even asked how much she pays for rent but she couldn't respond cuz she's a freeloader) and it is his house. Imo it's just a bit mean that he only gave her a day to move out so suddenly . Also if the fl can beg on her knees to the ml y doesn't she beg to her friend (the sister) or y doesn't the sister help find another place since she's rich. If I had the capability to help out my bestie, knowing her situation, I will. Until she can survive on her own.
You literally live thanks to somebody's unconditional kindness and treat people like shit... Like, I could understand him getting mad at those who made mistakes and obviously het high on abusing their power but the others (ie the FL)? Is there any reason to be an asshole to an innocent person? It's like spitting on the kindness he received . At least be decent enough to find her temporary accommodation jesus christ.
