i was prepared to turn a blind eye and turn off my brain to any multiple-FL subplot, but surprisingly the webtoon isn't obnoxious about any pseudo harem aspect and seems to be taking the time to invest in characterizing the female characters well
the fact that they exist outside of being objects of affection & we're shown their childhood together, the way they seek strength, and that they can be silly like any pair of best friends is p.nice

i need those two colluding motherfuckers to be hit with the reality that they're taking their grudge out on someone who was abused the most by their family and WASN'T EVEN THE ONE WHO HARMED HIS FUCKING HYUNG OR WHOEVER
dumbasses didn't even do the bare minimum to investigate
i think this should also be titled don't mess with the wolf bc MC is gonna go chihuahua feral on their ass when he finds out how wronged chi-young has been by these people

chill my dudes
iirc (and take this with a grain of salt bc i read a less than perfect MTL with the pronouns switched around before the site was assassinated by the DMC police) there was an incident with a nanny in their childhood that wasn't chi-young's fault. but the adults never bothered to correct other people's assumptions otherwise it would spread fear/distrust in their organization. baby chi-young was only used as a scapegoat because he saw it and the other kid was too traumatized to recall the truth.
the death of the dad was also something deliberately orchestrated to make it seem that chi-young was violent and separate him from the pack and also to push his progression into a more aggressive wolf. this was all to "protect the family" because the movement of some other anti-leader(?) faction was getting out of hand so they needed someone to carry out the dirty deeds fast.
i'm looking on Kforums for a more concrete summary of the past events but this is as far as i got and yeah, most ascribe to the scenario that he saw something he shouldn't have and was blamed for it

there was something about him and his sister being the same/similar (?) but i'm not clear on the translations why his sister was treated/made better while chi-young was left to get worse or chosen to go the extreme end and made more aggressive. so any aggression on his part in their childhood was largely orchestrated by his family
despite the kk@opocalypse happening, i still have my hilarious & well-written novel for emotional support :')
