Huh, what did jihyun do ?

Did you not read the first part?

Oh you were talking about the first part
Sorry I thought he might have done something In the side story and I didn’t read that part So

Sorry :3 I understand how my topic confused you. I ended up here after first the first part (and this one) at 4am and safe to say I was feeling emotional af

Lol I don’t know why people are downvoting you! Are they trying to say that rapists aren’t disgusting? People who like Jihyun are so blind, i swear.

Thanks! People who are in denial will never experience growth

Anyway, after reading Chapter 4, I just wanted to add, for the sake of readers who might come across this; I'd gone through an unhealthy relationship as well, and although I was only cheated on, NOT raped (i can't even begin to imagine this), I had never gotten closure when that relationship ended and I was so traumatised and broken for years.

Let me tell you, when shit people like that come back into your lives, they'll always ask if you are doing fine and their newfound tenderness in the way they speak will really surprise you. I hated it whenever my ex asked me this question because if they had really cared they would NOT have broken my heart and then throw it away in the first place. Chapter 4 made my stomach churn because everything JiHyun said was almost the exact same things my ex said to try to approach me again after the breakup.

Back to this webtoon, yes sure, JiHyun might have really matured over the years and MAYBE (big maybe) he truly feels sorry for what he did back then. But, I still do not think redemption is possible for such characters, at least not in this way. If they really matured they should just stay far, far away from the people they once hurt. In a way, I find it quite selfish that JiHyun can just insert himself into ChiWoo's life that easily. Anyway, this is how i view it since, let's not forget how hard it was for ChiWoo it finally get over JiHyun and the raping incident.

I know every situation is different and I am not trying to compare my own experiences with this webtoon's storyline. But y'all, just be noted (esp those of you who, fortunately, have not been in toxic relationships) that all the things JiHyun said in chapter 4 is just textbook script for bad people to try to reinsert themselves into somebody else's lives.

Y'all, stay safe from terrible romantic partners out there. It's not worth it.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Being in a toxic relationship is one of my worst nightmares and is also one of the reasons why i fear getting into a relationship. I will say that Chiwoo is a lot kinder than most of us. If I ever see the person who violated me in front of my eyes again, you can bet your ass that I’ll be throwing stuff and hurling expletives at him.

When Kyujin came, I felt more at ease. It just didn’t feel right to have Jihyun leaving without being reprimanded. That’s probably the least which needed to happen. He didn’t even go to jail for his crime. The absurdity. My heart couldn’t take it. :(

lol seems like you didn't xD

yep! :'D

I think that of all people there, the psychiatrist was the only one he ever loved tbh.

I truly think so too. That's why he kept the ring as a memento so preciously. But it feels odd since Clark's affections were not really explored throughout the whole story (or i might have missed it) Kind of hard to imagine a detached character like Clark fall in love. But ofc, i want the best for him too!

A few things that also showed that Clark liked Oliver:
- He's the only person he does keep contact with, even though they broke up (5 times even)
- He seems to be the only one he got as far as exchanging rings
- He was the first and only one he told about his moving
- He never used/manipulated him (as far as I know)
- He pretended to not have received a room refreshner, even though he isn't someone who lies to make someone feel better without second thoughts
- He showed (a hint of) emotions, when he heard of Oliver's death
- He tried to get Oliver out of Alex's sight, to prevent any casualties (even if it was for naught)

I have pointed some of the things out that contradict Clerk's personality. I mean, we do not know anything about him in detail, such as what exactly is wrong with him. But, maybe through his actions and glimpses of emotion-like things that he did or said, we might be ableto get an idea of what his intentions were.
I will try to think about it the next few days. Maybe I can come up with something like a theory :)

You have made some really good observations and points. I want to thank you for being so sweet (and detailed!) with your replies <3

Awww thank you <3

Yes and he keeps and take good care of the fish.
He was truly in love with Oliver and this last panel when he holds the finger... ╥﹏╥
He says to the inspector it was for revenge (with this expression on his face). Good job author !
But I feel sad for Alex too. Because all he wanted was to be loved and never again be abandoned...
