theres a few changes from the novel and the manhwa, its interesting! ex: in the novel jun tells a guy to go get the milk and a chapter later when hes at the top of the school hierarchy he "rewards" the guy with a bit of social status. its nothing much but it really captures jun's spirit of not owning anyone anything... im just ranting because the novel is really, really good (one of the most beloved bls in korea!!!), the manhwa is a very nice adaptation, very fluid

he was awake and now he know jigu likes him, but jigu also thinks mc likes him back and both keep hanging out for a while waiting for the other to confess first (mc wants jigu to confess so he can turn him down bcs he wants them to still be friends), so it will take some time before they start dating

yohan is like. really crazy.
one example is when he fights junwoo, they both end up on the hospital (junwoo has to be taken bcs hes almost dead while yohan calmly walks to the ambulance lmao), when yohan comes back he gifts jun two of junwoo's teeth that he knocked off during the fight lmao
but yeah yohan is crazy crazy crazy, but jun is also a freak so they match very well

i dont remember anything that bad happenong to him after junwoos fall from grace (his father is arrested + yohan being crazier than him). he barely appears by the third volume, when they become seniors and taesan stays in a different class. he avoids junwoo and keeps his crush on jun, but i still havent read the last volumes so cant say for sure whats his end

about taesan (the guy being bullied) i havent properly read the last volumes, i just skimmed through and was not that interested in taesan, so i may be missing major events in taesans life but basically, they become seniors and yohan/jun go to class 1 and taesan/junwoo and all the background characters go to class 2, so their appearences become basically none since it focuses on yohan. taesan avoids junwoo and, apart from junwoo, no one is willing to become a bully since they fear the trachers, so taesan is fine. he sometimes talks to jun but thats all of him. junwoos life is ruined after his fight with yohan and his father's arrest.
about jun getting over junwoo: yeah, after he gets beaten up he stops caring for him. youll see him smilling next chapter and hoping yohan will take junwoo's place in the school hierarchy. he starts liking yohan pretty soon after that. as jun said, he is very shallow so his love also is shallow: he may like junwoo, but he'll throw junwoo under the bus if it means saving his own skin.
does yohan hurt jun: yeah, not in junwoo's level and, in my opinion, not unprovoked. for exemple: yohan is REALLY afraid of his father and his family treats him like he doesnt exist (because they found out yohan is gay), so there's this scene where jun forces yohan to eat dinner with yohan's parents and yohan has a breakdown, thinking jun wanted to humiliate him since he knows his family situation and even so forced him to be in an awkward situation (jun just hated seeing yohan being ignored by his own family and tried to force tem to aknowledge yohan), so he breaks jun's arm.
yohan is prone to breakdowns and is not the most stable person. he's obsessed with jun and pretty much a stalker, but he treats jun well for the most part. when jun finds out about yohan's family, he invites yohan to sleep over and yohan ends up basically living with him and doing all the chores lmao
anyways, after that jun suffers for a while bcs he likes yohan but yohan is the manipulative+obsessed+traumatized combo, but they manage. juns also not a damsel and prrtty manipulative himself lmao

he does and he also knows that jun was hit by junwoo twice (he lives next door to jun, so he saw both the day jun was hit at school and at home).
yohan's mad jun likes junwoo and not him. and it's hard to explain but basically yohan thinks jun likes junwoo because junwoo is at the top of the school hierarchy, so he's taking the chance to take junwoo's place at the top (though he doesn't care about other what people think of him, only jun) through the rumours of junwoo being gay and encouraging people to bully junwoo. he's not homophobe, yohan's family knows he's gay.
also yohan dislikes junwoo and thinks of himself as not his friend. he only got close to junwoo because jun is always hanging around junwoo. he also always treated junwoo bad and repreended him for drinking/smoking/sleeping around, but everyone always thought yohan was being ironic with the religion thing and laughed it off as his jokes. he also hates junwoo bcs he knows jun likes junwoo (same way jun hates taesan)
the fight occurs because when junwoo comes back to school (i think he and taesan disappear for around two weeks after the fight), some kids threw away his school books. yohan starts joking around about junwoo never studying so he didn't need it. junwoo ignored yohan's comments and starts accusing jun of stealing his books. he throws his backpack on jun and that's when yohan starts to provoke him talking shit about taesan (he says something about junwoo treating everyone's ears like they are taesans loose asshole and thinking he can do whatever he wants with it). then, junwoo loses it and attacks yohan. yohan gets hit a few times (... because he wanted to, really) then pushes junwoo away and gets up. the class watches in horror yohan pulling his own tooth that became loose with the punch. jun makes one of the classmates get milk and goes after the fallen tooth so that yohan can reattach later, meanwhile yohan fucking destroys junwoo. when junwoo is almost dead and unconscious, he gets a metal chair and hits junwoo's face with it. then the ambulance comes, junwoo is taken away and yohan calmly walks towards the ambulance while covered in blood. jun gives him the tooth and yohan carress his cheeks, then goes to the hospital. the teachers even ask if junwoo was not ganged up from how brutal it was. later, jun and yohan visit junwoo at the hospital to like. spit on his face and take some pics of him unconscious. then yohan takes junwoo's place at the top of the school hierarchy and junwoo leaves school after a while.

Wow! That's intense. I'm so glad about what happened to Junwoo and more glad that Jun gets over him. Thank you for taking the time out to write such a detailed response.
Can I also ask whether Junwoo father getting arrested was Yohan's doing or not and what do Taesan and Junwoo do when they are absent together from school for long durations periodically?

hmmm i dont think yohan was the one behind the arrest. he tells jun that junwoo's father was having problems with the law and that junwoo's uncle was taking over the whole company and jun thinks that it was yohan behind it and asks, but yohan says he only heard about it and that soon everyone'd know anyways. if that was a lie and was later explored, i might've missed it, but i don't think yohan'd have any direct power to arrest him.
also it's not said where or what taesan and junwoo were doing, just that junwoo kept dragging him around the city and some people saw them. tbh i found it very weird how they were considered the secondary couple when the manhwa was announced since they are really just background characters that stop appearing after the first act... there isn't much to say about them, just that junwoo leaves him alone/drops out and taesan goes on with his life (and since he's afraid of yohan he barely speaks with jun after they enter third grade)
anyways, if anyone wants spoilers from the novel just ask me here, ill try to remember
how do Kang jun and Yohan get together? i’m really curious (^_^)
Spoil me immediately. Let me curdle like rotten milk. Tell me everything you remember.
look it takes a WHILE lmao they get together like really at the end of the novel when they meet again in college (when they solve the 1000 misunderstandings between them and yohan saves jun)
OMG i actually like that a lot!! thank you for answering
i took my time to answer since i knew the reply would be long ill talk in topics since its easier and you can skip the things that are too spoiler heavy
1. junwoo and taesan:
junwoo stops going to school after a while (his father is arrested + no one on his side at school) and thats it, he never appears again.
taesan continues on the school but when they move on to become seniors, taesan and jun end up on different classes, so taesan barely appears. i think there's a scene where he warns jun about yohan being crazy (he sees yohan putting a roach on juns locker or something like that), but jun thinks he's lying and like, taesan's appearances become even fewer after that since he refuses to get close to yohan. anyways, he gets a happy ending away from junwoo.
2. yohan's family
yohan is richhhh like really rich. jun is surprised when he visits but is even more surprised to see that yohan is mistreated by hia family. like, he dines alone and seems really afraid of his parents. it makes jun feel bad and he kinda invites yohan to sleep over whenever he wants to... yohan takes it as an invite to live together with jun for a while.
yohan makes it seem like he is hated by his family because they found out he's gay, since they are all very religious, and jun starts beibg very nice to him out of pity
3. yohan's family (the truth)
yohan made up this whole scenario and his parents actually let him do anything he wants to... his sibling meets jun and tells him that everything yohan said (about being mistreated for being gay) is a lie. they know yohan is gay because his christmas wish was "I wish to get a boyfriend" in front of everyone during dinner his parents were surprised but accepted. yohan just lied for juns pity.
anyways, even if its a lie, i can vouch for yohan and say that yeah his father is still... bad at parenting. he was compared to his brother since he was a child (unknown to him that his brother was also getting compared to yohan), which made both of them develop an inferiority complex and, in yohan's case, this need to lie and manipulate to keep someone close to him. its a very shallow description of his character but thats the spirit.
4. yohans sexuality
yeah hes gay i already said that but he is also a bit of a stalker. yes, he was the one who saw junwoo pushing jun off the stairs in juns house because he is juns neighbour, but he also has a full album on his phone filled with photos of jun, taken in secret before jun even knew who tf yohan was (jun finds out about it when they are kinda living together).
5. bullying
theres like a lot of misunderstandings between them that lead to yohan allowing jun to be bullied for a while (since jun is so close to yohan, the other kids wish for his downfall so they can take his place as the second in command). when the bulllying ends, yohan wants to get close to jun but atp jun is wary of yohan and wants to keep his distance. at this point in the novel, jun starts hanging out with another classmate that is kinda the second ml. hes cool. i think he confesses to jun by the end of the year but tbh i kinda skimmed this arc to get to the end so i dont remember much, but the guy was very calm and gentle (he also disapproved of jun's homophobic remarks about junwoo out loud).
6. ending
they graduate and meet again in college. when they meet again, jun throws a cup of hot coffe on yohan bcs atp he found out about the lies lmao then theres a fight between jun and one of the guys who bullied him (the fat one, i think?) and the guy throws acid on jun, but yohan gets in the way. jun starts visiting yohan in the hospital and they get together after clearing up all the lies and misunderstandings. then theres the epilogues that are like them living together and jun being 100% spoiled by yohan. jun cannot for the life of good cook so yohan is always the one cooking or offering to pay for dinner, which is very very adorable.
thats a very brief summary of the plot from memory, since there were parts that i skimmed and parts where i probably mixed my korean and misunderstood a scene or another, but i hope it helps you anyways. if theres anything specific you wish to know just ask me and ill try to remember!
Love love this!! Thank you for taking the time to write out so much. Your effort wasn’t wasted because I read it all
