Hear me out, if i was in eunjoons(mc's friend) position i may have done the same. Choosing to stay in a fictional world if your real life isnt that bad, is just delusional. He's right that none of it is real and that staying there would not go well longterm.
you arent the original character so the longer you stay the more you change the story and the harder it becomes to predict what will happen
more holes in your story will appear to others making it clear that you arent who you claim to be or you're a liar.
