Ikr... My minds going to go green now whenever I see that picture... this manhwa ruined my childhood memories LOL

is this SARCASM?? he stole his wallet AND stabbed him causing him to miss his deadline to apply to dorms. blonde is to blame for everything

╮(￣▽￣)╭ He clearly has extenuating circumstances tho. Like what kind of home life was he running away from that he would rather be living out of a tent? It’s not like he knew there was a shirt on of money in the wallet when he initially stole it, and he was pretty civil until gloomy took a knife and sliced blondie’s home to pieces. Idk I’m not saying lying, stealing, or stabbing people is good, but I also think poor blond dude is having a pretty rough time and he seems generally a more interesting character than the black haired dude.

I don’t think having “extenuating circumstances” excuses blonde for stealing, ripping up belongings, and stabbing someone. how is it that you’re able to sympathize for the character who’s backstory isn’t even revealed yet, more than the mc?? how is the mc just a “super angry dude”?? His anger is completely justified. Blonde even tried to fkng LIE on top of that, instead of just returning the wallet and apologizing. anyways I read the raws and he does gets better, but the mc had to be the bigger person（￣へ￣）

Your probably right tbh. I’m just a little biased to sympathize with blonde because he’s homeless. One of my good friends was homeless for a while and the MC reminds me a lot of him.

I also spent a year volunteering at shelters and interviewing people experiencing homelessness for a sociology class, and I learned that when people have so very little, small things like a tent or a coat can be hugely important.
Imagine if someone showed up one day and destroyed everything you owned in the world, one tent. You know you were in the wrong first, but in this moment all you can think about is how angry you are. You have no family to go back to, or you wouldn’t have been camping outside in the first place. Before you even had a chance to explain yourself, this arrogant guy, who doesn’t even know how good he has it, comes and tramples on your life like a bull in a china shop. Your mad, you want to hurt him like he’s hurt you. You come at him with everything you’ve got, all your pent up fear and stress and anger that has built up over the past miserable months (being homeless is horrible in a million tiny ways you wouldn’t think of off the top of your head btw. You never get a good nights sleep, being interrupted by the weather, passers by, and other homeless people. Privacy is nonexistent. You worry if your stuff will be stolen, and you worry about what will happen to you in the future.)
—- then suddenly you stop. You’ve gone to far. You’ve actually hurt him. Badly. Oh god. You’ve stabbed him.

Cut to like a week later. You’ve finally got your life back in some semblance of order since your shelter was destroyed in that horrible, traumatic incident. You try not to think about it. He’s probably okay. Probably. You’re squatting in an abandoned building, which ordinarily would be a step up from living in a tent, but you really loved that tent, and this building is creepy as hell. Fortunately, someone else is coming to stay with you today. Perhaps with two people this building will seem less scary.

Ding dong you open the door— and it’s that guy again. He seems to be okay, which is a relief, but he’s also found you, somehow, which is less of a relief. Oh god he looks mad. You better think fast before he goes ballistic and starts smashing things again. That’s it- you’ll just play dumb. Deny deny deny. So you lie through your teeth, and amazingly, it seems to be working. This might now be so bad after all. It turns out he’s come to be your roommate. You could make this work as long as he doesn’t find out—— well shit. Aaaaand he’s yelling and shouting at you again. You know what, you’re still mad at him for wrecking your tent too. Fuck your life.

well I guess i do see where you’re coming from if you put it like that,,,,(￣∇￣")
I just meant to say that mc’s anger is also completely justified. Not only did his wallet get stolen with all his savings he needed to move out of his horror house he was traumatized by, but also the talisman his dead mom gave him which she told to him with him at all times. blonde ripped it all up. if he stole his wallet for the money bc he needed it, ok. there was no need to disrespect his belongings like that and then proceed to make fun of his childhood.

but you’re totally right too so I guess their anger is both justified toward each other....I just personally think blondie started the hostility. and even while living as roommates he continues to disrespect the mc until the mc decides to be the bigger person first. but I love this author for making complex characters

Totally! This author does a really good job making flawed, but understandable characters that you eventually root for . Their other work, welcome to room 305, is great so I can’t wait to see how this one turns out! It was fun talking about this webtoon with you, and I wish you happy reading!

I loved their other work as well!! And thank you, you too!

IKKK I THOUGHT HE’D BE HIS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT HIMBO
