y’all they didn’t love each other, it’s a horror manga, they were both fucked up
Sangwoo did not love bum , he was only a replacement for his mother , that's literally textbook serial killer. Koogi said that he would have killed him if not the similarities of appearance of bum and his mom's
I don't think bum actually loved Sangwoo. He had serious issues and when sangwoo saved him the first time it created an image in his mind that sangwoo was like an ultimate savior. And because of the mental and physical abuse revived by sangwoo he became completely dependent on him.
Really hope you don't think they actually loved each other ...
We only knew Sangwoo's calling Bum from grandma's story. We never knew why. It could be bcs he blamed Bum for everything that happened to him and wanted to kill him when he's recovered since he felt betrayed (scene before the fire) OR because he missed Bum and realized his feeling. But, since it's Sangwoo I think the first option seemed more rational. Either way, both options are heartbreaking. ╥﹏╥
And he would never expect if it was his last moment tho.
While I agree Bum might really love Sangwoo in some degree. But mostly what he felt was due to Stockholm syndrome, bro.
In my first reply i said that when someone asked if Sangwoo loved Bum, the author answered that they will know if they read Sangwoo’s last moment (or something like that). So i’m pretty sure Sangwoo calling for Bum meant that he really did love Bum.
And Bum already loved Sangwoo before getting kidnapped (and Bum was already a bit crazy since he tried to get inside Sangwoo’s house so many times). Bum really did need attention/love from someone and by being with Sangwoo all the time, even if he was a victing, he was hoping for attention from Sangwoo. Idk if thats Stockholm syndrome but even if it was for a reason like that, i do think he really ended up loving Sangwoo. As i said, Bum was already attracted and a bit crazy, so once his desire for love overcame his fear from Sangwoo, i think thats when he could start to love him.
Well my point is that i think they could have been happy together, and thats why i believe it can be called love between each other.
Before getting kidnapped, Bum was clearly described as a stalker, his feelings towards Sangwoo were obsession, not really love. Bum's mind is as sick as Sangwoo. And I believe that he is even less capable of being in love that Sangwoo is. He is not the kind of person that can accept Sangwoo as he is, because he's unable to see who he is.
The author said that Sangwoo's feelings could be seen in the last chapter, not his last moment. Yes, he called for Bum.... But in his hallucinations, Bum sees Sangwoo walking with a woman.. I believe that till the end, Bum was nothing else but the ghost of Sangwoo's mother. But... I admit, I don't know how to explain the fact he kept calling fo him, maybe he feared being abandonned ?
Bum can stalk Sangwoo AND be in love.... it is indeed creepy (because he was trying to get into Sangwoo’s house) but that doesn’t stop Bum to be able to love anyone.
And the author said it can be seen at the last chapter, and Sangwoo was calling for Bum. I think Sangwoo would be calling for his mom if thats all he cared about.
this really should be a netflix show
