I guess really it’s just the aspect of him also being cheated on and manipulated into feeling like he was worthless. Besides I think he at least improved and worked on himself that’s why ppl are rooting for him now i just want both of them to be happy huhuhuh ;-;

-Well, for his relationship with second ml;

Mc was already traumatized, wasnt ready for another relationship. While Ml didnt mean it at first, he made mc dependant on him and he was very controlling. He is the one who offered him a place to stay, then he gets mad when mc couldnt write anything. Also, mc having feelings for other man, it isnt something he had control of. Ml had a right to be mad at him but instead of breaking up or talking like healthy couples do, he started abusing and cheating on him. And in the end, he also assalted him for wanting to breaking up.
"But mc started it!". Mc didnt really do anything. And even if he did, noone deserve to be treated like this. Readers have no reason to hate mc for this.

- now, his relationship with the main ML.
Once again, mc isnt ready to new love life but it happenned anyway. Now, in this relationship, mc is definitely at fault for cheating. But the way it happens and mc s mental struggle makes people feel sympathy for him. Like, mc didnt forget other guy. He was still traumatized and clearly mentally ill. Dependant personality disorder. He is been abused by other guy for years. It was easier to run away from actual relationship because being abused is more familiar to him.
Does this explain his actions? Yes.
Does this excuse? No.
Does this make him empathic? Deoends, but mostly yes because even main ML could tell Mc wasnt okay at all. He was always mentally unstable, to be honest, we readers were already waiting for everything to be ruined. Why? We knew Woojin wasnt okay. He needed therapy. Not new relationship.

- Now, in the end Woojin felt sorry for his actions and they broke up. (There is no point of hating him when he is clearly so ruined and face consequences of his actions.) Mc also got therapy for years, he learnt to be independant. This proves his growth. Mc isnt perfect flawless person. He is just human. He made mistake (when he was clearly mentally unstable) but in the end, he pulled his life together. And thats what matters.

Do ML has to forgive mc? No but if he wants to forgive and date with him again, its his choice. Even if Mc was horrible person which he isnt, it would still be ML's choice. They are adults. Its up to them.

- Readers root for them because they live each others. Because they grow up and now develop healthy relationship together.

Thank you for this! Cuz I feel like some readers don't take a moment to stop and digest and reflect on what's happening on the story and characters

PS. im not taking about the main comment incase there's a misunderstanding. Just a genuine thanks cuz the reply above is really on point if ever someone still blame mc for everything or the cheating

U are welcome. I needed to release my thoughts lol.
