ok ik everyones annoyed at yejun, whatever ok, but what the FUCKK is up with the ml..????? like genuinely im so confused ok u like him and from the way he asked u it seems he likes u too why lie?? girl i am sooo confused like actually i cant handle this
The ML is a PoS but at least his family background allows us to conclude decades of extremely high expectations paired while also being told how superior he is to everyone have turned him into a control freak that considers manipulating everyone around him as the only way to get what he wants.
ML is almost certainly working some kind of bullshit "cant show weakness" and "Im hurting you to protect you" angle. But at least there is an in-universe way to frame why his psyche is fucked.
Yejun on the other hand is a spineless crybaby because the story needs him to be, so he can perpetuate this neverending spiral of poor communication. That guy was just born an extra pliable bottom that will never stop pining for an abuser while flip-flopping between internalizing insecurities and letting them out in an unproductive way.
maybe its bc its adapted from a novel but i feel like there r some parts i do not understand or that are missing little dialogues or scenes?? like im lowkey so confused ab this plot tbh
Its like they have too many mystery plots and secrets that's making it confusing and mildly frustrating to read but hopfuly once some things get reviled it'll make more sense
