I'm sorry but the bottom is so stupid!
When people are threatened they have five different ways they could respond: fight, flight, fawn, freeze, and flop.
In this case, the MC was fawning and freezing.
The brother was threatening him and because of the trauma he experienced from his father, he tried to please the aggressor to avoid further conflict.
When the brother was starting to get physical, the MC can't help but freeze on the spot. He felt helpless and panicked. Just like when you stumble upon a wild animal, not all of them run immediately, some of them freeze on the spot and you see the fear in their eyes.
So no, he's not stupid. He's reacting like a normal human would. And this has been its theme throughout the story. His trauma and how he's trying to work through it.
Lmao if you ever had a trauma I bet you wouldn't be able to think of anything when the situation actually arises, also there were a whole ton of people there, he wouldn't wanna make a commotion.
Who tf is fat, I bet I'm better looking than you lmao. Stop calling out people with names like fat or wtv makes you looks like the bitch you are
