does anyone else have this underlying feeling of anxiety reading this......like most of this is so sweetwhatever but i feel like its not genuine

I don't think either character knows how to be in a proper relationship, like they don't know how to give/receive love so their attempts and shortcomings really come off as uncomfortable. It seems intentional because they offset each other so starkly, like... the seme has only ever been used by others and has tons of boundaries up to protect himself from things that are out of his control, and the uke has only ever felt guilty for relying on others, they both have a lesson to learn but I'm sure there will be tons of struggle along the way.
omg im so pressed i dont wanna see any jeongwon slander i get that its frustrating to see her just drop everything for hwayeon but its SO much harder to see through manipulation than you'd think!!! jeongwon clearly sees comforting hwayeon as the "right" thing to do given their history and what jeongwon is saying. alternatively, if she got mad at hwayeon or left to go comfort jisoo, hwayeon would prob twist it, cry anyways, make a bigger deal, and we would end up at the same exact place except jeongwon would feel even guiltier
Exactly, I was about to say this !!!! People don’t realise how being in toxic relationship makes people in position of vulnerability, and the victim doesn’t even realise that :( the whole reason I like this manhwa so much it’s bc is realistic and I honestly look so forward to their development! it will happen eventually but for now only frustration
