Mugyeong brings up perfectly reasonable points that will in the end probably be brushed off by the power of love instead of them having a serious conversation and overcoming these insecurity issues rather than treating it like a cute personality trait.
I'm fairly certain either the author has a thing for obsessive partners and their reluctant acceptors or the editor/producer does. Because there is no reason a person who knows exactly why this is dysfunctional and aknowledges it IN THE MANHWA would go on and do it anyway other than it being a personal thing for them.
Like it's one thing to pass this off as romantic from the get go which is what a lot of manhwas do and a completely different thing to list out the exact reasons why this is bad and then go on and not overcome it in any real way.
Clearly I'm still not over reading form of sympathy and the frustration it brought me.

Thompson J, Teasdale B, van Emde Boas E, Budelmann F, Duncan S, Maguire L, Dunbar R. Does believing something to be fiction allow a form of moral licencing or a 'fictive pass' in understanding others' actions?

like just the way he acts and responds to things out of fear, suspicion, and then love bombing with obsession
and the fact there are no grey areas for him
i dont hate him, more so i understand him as a character (but that doesnt means hes NOT toxic)
dude just needs emotional regulation therapy fr
but i really do hope he becomes more developed as a character. to me he's definitely three dimensional, im just hoping he comes to an understanding that his actions are toxic, and that he developes into a more mature person with a better grip on his emotions.
i absolutely adore this author and reallyyy hope it just doesnt end with "ig this is just how yuri is shrug emoji"
like please actually develop the plot into yuri having major character development he needs it

here are the timestamps for the revenge:
5: psycho guy who killed the cat
18: blonde rapist (every single one of them are rapists but whatever)
33: ass licking errand guy
50: big guy
58: pesky detective
You don't need read 30 chapters of female characters getting raped only for 5 chapters of revenge, you can just read the revenge and dip out. I'm extremely disappointed in the author.

PLEASE TRY TO RECALL ALL THESE PLOT POINTS
1) Yuri is a victim of Parental abuse, neglect and has a very broken family views, he's dependent on kindness and was attracted to his sister
2) Teacher was another victim of issues related to his parents, with his mother being obsessively controlling. In addition to that, he also struggled with his sexuality as a teen kid.
3) Their relationship did not, I REPEAT, DID NOT STARTED in a GOOD WAY. The start of their encounters was a major red flag, and it has never been as smooth sailing even now. Why? Read first two points and 4th point.
4) They were both into one-sided attraction to people they couldn't have, who ended up together. Yuri's sister and teacher's friend. And they were both obsessed.
5) at the start, their frustrations was released through SEXUAL ACTIONS (sex, bjs, drunk sexual acts) and jt was usually never a two-way consent
Now, reading all these is not enough to explain how this story is unfolding like this right now. So please gather a bit more comprehension, majority of people here needs it.
6) TEACHER IS NOT INNOCENT, HE IS NOT "KIND KIND" (not that he's evil) nor WAS HE EVEN AN EXEMPLARY ROLE MODEL TO YURI during the first part of this story. He kissed Yuri without consent, he had sex with Yuri and he had sex with several other men to vent. Also, don't forget that every single time, it was because he had the other guy in his mind. He's irresponsible in a way and also lacks the determination to abstain whenever Yuri does make his advance. This indecisiveness was then proven and shown at the later part.
7) YURI HAS NEVER BEEN MENTALLY STABLE. He is impulsive and selfish, (evidence shown when he 2as rude to his sister's husband infront of his sister whom he claimed he love) He does not think of other people's emotions, more like he lacks the ability to accomodate their feelings or think of their point of view. He's violent and has a vile mouth. I do not understant how yall are coming at him now like he was never like this to begin with. It wasn't severaly shown at first but there was a reason WHY HE WORSENED. I really think you should atleast know this right, since you read the story up till this latest part.
So WHY EXACTLY DID YURI TURNED OUT LIKE THIS? "YANDERE?" "POSSESSIVE?"
He fell inlove with Teacher when teacher was down in the dumps, accompanied him in the hotel and they practically lived together. Although those moments, every second, wasn't shown in it's entirety, it was a long time of Yuri abd Teacher co-existing and depending on one another emotionally. It's not just a period of living together, it was the moment when Yuri finally started accepting his feelings and ACTUALLY STARTING TO CHANGE. However, this change is dependent to teacher.
And teacher on the other hand, IS CONFLICTED AND INDECISIVE. He persisted to refuse or denounce Yuri's advances, concluded it as a whim because Yuri is younger. Which is something I'd say I could kind of understand since I read the first manhwa of author *the story of Yuri's friend and his bf). However, teacher does not self reflect nor does he want to admit to his wrongdoings.
Why? He had already accepted Yuri as a way to satisfy his sexual frustration several times, but yaps about it being wrong because he was his student.
Another tipping point that broke the line that keeps Yuri in check was the argument, followed by the sexual assault and then the abandonment. CAN YOU UNDERSTAND NOW? This obsession or possessiveness wasn't something that appeared OUT OF THE BLUE, It has been foreshadowed several times and is literally the plot of the story. IT HAS BEEN HERE SINCE DAY 1.
A mere reunion would not be enough to solve this pile of misunderstanding, trauma and distrust the couple has. THE VOCAL ACCEPTANCE OF TEACHER IS NOT ENOUGH to fix the bigger issue, and YURI REFUSES TO MATURE AND UNDERSTAND. They are both in the wrong. But all of a sudden, it was all Yuri's fault and the teacher deserves better?? Did he ever apologised to everything he'd done? Nope, why? Because he was drunk. But drunken stupor should not be an excuse to irresponsibility.
PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE STORY. It pains me that people here are so superficial and shallow. Almost like they did not read this at all. Everyone is asking for the good things as if the story was tagged under the genre of fairytale. This story resonates with me on a different level. It's because people seem more real, flawed and tainted. And broken relationships don't get better with just a kiss or a fuck. Calm down and wait for things to get better, or things to finay fall apart.
In conclusion: Comprehension is key.
