No one understands you may I do I do I do
Okay I’m gonna go ahead and briefly summarize May’s thought process
Basically his whole life goal was to be loved by someone as much as possible. Unfortunately, for May, that means as EXTREME as possible. He’s also affection starved and laches onto anyone who gives him a bit of affection. We can see this with his ex who literally cheated on him, but convinced May to stay just by kissing and calling him cute.
Jooin treats May in a pretty fucked up way I admit at the start, but he starts becoming more affectionate when May remembers him. May also gets an ego boost when he finds out that Jooin wanted to neuter him because Jooin was jealous. Jooin then expresses his affection in various, slightly more normal ways while keeping May confined and having sex with him every so often.
May, probably having some sort of feelings because of how extreme Jooin’s actions were (and to him that = how much love,) tests Jooin by asking him to take the collar off. He probably wanted Jooin to keep being forceful and force May to stay by his side by refusing, but he’s disappointed because Jooin removes his collar. (For May that means Jooin doesn’t want to put in the effort to have him stay anymore, and that Jooin is bored of him/doesn’t want him anymore.)
May runs away because Jooin says “May belongs to me,” which isn’t an expression of love but an expression of possession over an object(and a cat, in this case, which May HATES.)
Anyways, I’m assuming May ran back to Jooin because May has a fucked up view of love and is like “oh if he’s chasing me down, doing all this blah blah he loves me soooo much” which is his life dream
Theory?
Yooyoung cursed MC in their past life, committed suicide probably as a part of the ritual. MC gets hit by the curse (maybe Yooyoung made it so MC would die if he died?) and dies (what happens in the dreams). Yooyoung cursed MC so that anyone who gets close to MC would die, including his family because Yooyoung is insane. That’s why only Yooyoung can be close to him without dying, and why Yooyoung can stop those nightmares etc. Yooyoung made it so that MC would have to rely on him for everything and be unable to get close to anyone else except him.
yeah they’re 100% dead my screen is littered with death flags
