As someone who actually read everything and understands the story, Jaehyun needs like therapy or something bc clearly, assault and weird levels of obsession run in the family and they both end up straight up r*ping him.
I genuinely thought Junwon was coming around at the end and was gaining at least a little bit of sense, but he didn't save the person he "liked" from his sister and then aided her in assaulting him bc he couldn't wait a few minutes for an answer.
Contrary to how he's set up in the beginning, Jaehyun is the most sane character (aside from Hae-In who genuinely deserved better lol). Jiyeon and him broke up and she doesn't even like him anymore, she just wants to be with him bc she doesn't want her brother to like her ex, and the whole reason she doesn't like him still sounds stupid in my opinion so idk what Hyo-Young was talking about. The only time she thought she actually liked him was while assaulting him with her brother. Hyo-Young herself was essentially turning on her friend over his sister who doesn't like her either, all just to "help" her get with the person her friend likes even though she knows she doesn't really like him either, even stooping to emotional manipulation when Jiyeon is emotionally distraught to try to get with her. Wonwoo literally just has an odd obsession with Jaehyun's exes and becoming closer to him through them, and ALSO assaulted him early on and then basically bragged about it to Junwon (the reason he punched him). So by that point Jae was assaulted by two people he knew and thought that Jiyeon was still fine in the head (he was wrong), only to get full on r*aped later and have the two people who did it act confused as to why he didn't want to speak to him.
Another thing about the punch situation is that it essentially makes Junwon a hypocrite bc he did the same thing to Jaehyun, so ig Wonwoo was right, they are the same.
So really Jaehyun has every right purposefully to not let people know what he's thinking bc everyone he allowed to get a little close to him sexually assaulted him, and Wonwoo didn't even say anything about it afterward.
So I hope after college he gets to heal or something bc he's been through it. I also hope Hae-in runs away too bc she caught every stray possible when she was genuinely trying to be nice to everyone, and doesn't need someone who assaults their friends to be with her just because he "actually likes" someone now (especially since he's planning on trying to drop her in a month or so anyway).
Overall, this was not what I thought it was going to be lmao, if you actually read all of this, thank you.
I miss that little gremlin so much
He could've lived if it weren't for Shugen() but I'll get over it eventually lmao
I also kinda wish the epilogue had some more to it. The character interactions were so good bc all the characters bounced off of each other SO WELL.
I'd honestly read a whole mini series about their post-island-escapades
I wanna see what the brothers are up to and how the little baby bandit gets down to business lmao
I wanna see more of Nurugai and Shion and their found family dynamic (cause I'm a sucker for found family)
I wanna see Mr. I-love-my-wife live his cottage-core dreams and I wouldn't mind seeing what COULD'VE BEEN a cute, probably funny, partnership between the organ man and gantetsusai running that business with the best of both of their worlds
Seeing Gui Fa be a zoom teacher is also hilarious out of context and the rebirth of everyone would be nice to see, like, I wanna see them get their happy ending dawg
but I love the ending, and I read the side story, I'm just greedy
