Ok real talk...why?
Like really. Why....mujin was chill. 3 boys were happy. MC flourishing in all aspects. Then other world guy comes and suddenly MC is trying to act tough, for what? I know hyeonjin wouldn't have liked knowing his crush is working for mujin but if MC took a second to tell him he's basically mujins personal chef and is being treated ok considering the situation, would homie really flip and decide all of a sudden to become a gangster that he literally didn't like? So, here's what I'm seeing: MC wanted the story to play out so he can leave. Ends up changing the story and is confused why mujin and jin aren't dokidoki for each other. Yet does everything in his power not to let him near mujin or know of their connection. Pause. Then we have the new friend who is flirty, he likes MC, wants to be with him, instead of getting him to like him he does what? The only thing he knows will upset the MC and most likely ruin any sliver of a chance he'd choose him. Pause. Then we have Hjin, he was sad he had to work and felt he couldn't amount to anything. He gets a chance to be happy. Instead of talking it out and figuring out a plan with MC he gets mad. Forces MC to quit. Leaves his siblings. Becomes a gangster. Is starving. And now probably doesn't feel like he can ever return to MC. Pause. Basically all im seeing is Hjin self sabotaging. MC changing his whole character from funny and charming to begging and acting like Mujin wasn't already warming up to MC. Why'd he suddenly default to a whole different character? even though it all could have been taken care of with a bit of heart to heart honesty. Had hjin known MC liked him too, I'm pretty sure after explaining MCs roll, at most he'd still ask MC to quit but at least wouldn't go to extremes by giving himself to that life. Then again maybe all this confusion is for a more mysterious plot. Sigh, I guess it was pretty surprising to see everything fall apart so suddenly. Still, seemed too sudden but I get it. Plots gotta plot. We'll just have to wait and see. But in all honesty, I was rooting for MC and mujin to become besties, and maybe MC and hjin to enjoy life together with potentially seeing other worlder soften like mujin did oup these were my fantasies I guess I was crushed by reality this time aigooo ...
