Jian. Nobody loves and cares for him, not even his own wicked mother
I donāt think thereās anything wrong with enjoying sex, but Jian isnāt even addicted to it. Heās addicted to drugs, and the stimulants in those drugs cause arousal, forcing him to have sex to release the tension. The author hasnāt revealed Jianās past or how he got involved with drugs, but for now, his addiction is getting worse because Hajoon keeps secretly increasing his doses.
The author has confirmed that everything Jian has done so far is just to self-destruct and to prevent Hajoon from touching Jitae (as shown in Chapter 19). The author even mentioned that if Jian didnāt use drugs, heād find it hard to have sex at all. So yeah, Jian isnāt doing this because he enjoys it.
I think instead of it being his hobby he uses it to cope with what he's feeling and as a way to rebel against his mother, he seems like he's passively suicidal and purposely self sabotaging himself with these vices. It's not like he's a happy character, he's always drawn to look somber and from the dialogues and from what we know from this chapter of his abuse we could guess there's something else going on deeper inside with him.
Hajoon also keeps actively encouraging his addiction, last time Jian didn't want to take the drugs but Hajoon insisted and practically barged in too. One time before it was shown that Jian had a crazy headache and he didn't even know what he took, so I think Hajoon has a way bigger role than we've seen yet with Jian's situation. He's essentially using Jian as a lab rat to test his new drugs.
Itās super different when itās the author specifically saying it and the readers reading about it in the manhwa, bc nowhere in there explains jians thoughts or experiences with drugs/sex. Itās hard to not judge his character when his whole story isnāt revealed yet, and itās also unfair to assume we as readers know these things and can feel sympathy for him as the author hasnāt specified anything in the manhwa and instead explained it through another platform. Iām looking forward to Jianās backstory, but for now heās not in the forefront of my interest or my sympathy within the storyās plot atm
Fair enough, if youāre not interested in learning more about Jian, thatās completely fine. Everyone has their own perspective, and Iām not here to judge or force anything on you. I just wanted to clarify that itās not simple a messe up āhobbyā like you said. Aside from drugs, I donāt think being interested in consensual sexual activities is inherently wrong, but letās just agree that everyone has their own views.
If you read the story, itās clear that for the Baek brothers, sex is merely a coping mechanism for their trauma. For Jitae, itās obvious that he needs someone by his side to fall asleep. As for Jian, just looking at how his crazy mother treated him is enough to understand. And as I pointed out in Chapter 19, the author gave a very blatant hint that Jian only connects with Hajoon when itās related to Jitae. So, this isnāt some out-of-context detailāitās quite clear how much Jian cares about Jitae.
Iām not trying to paint Jian as some innocent or pitiable victim, because he definitely has his own schemes. His actions, like threatening and kidnapping Mieumās father to push Mieum towards Jitae, are inexcusable (at least for now). So, Iām not surprised if people dislike Jian. I just enjoy analyzing and discussing controversial characters. Apologies if I made you uncomfortableāI genuinely just wanted to explain.
aside from the evil trash that Oscar is, heās got face but I give the artist all the credit for that. They know how to make characters. Anyway, when tf is he deleting himself omg. Like gtfo out of here you bottom feeder cretin and never reincarnate because you have done enough harm to last millenniums
was the grandmother that was carefully following his career when his parents died and he needed a home ??????Itās not like his family was poor, he lived in a mansion
She couldāve taken him in cause their family is clearly not poor and she has the audacity to leave him an inheritance after closely following his career like wtf. She let her grandson live in a basement and go to college on a scholarship. Some strong crack she was on to let an orphaned grandchild go through so much hardships when she was right fucking there. I was so mad and confused that I didnāt even register Jinās horny ass play with a dildo
.... I was thinking along the same lines, but he said that it was the first time he ever heard of her. That he never even met her before. That had me wondering what was going on with the family dynamics before his parents died that caused such a rift in the family that they wouldn't even introduce their kids to their grandparents.
