I don't really like Hyesung since the start but as I reread it, I try to understand him and okay... He has trauma and didn't really wanted all those things that happened to him. But now that it's already in extras, I was hoping to see more character development but where is it..? How could he treat Byul like that?? Why not talk to Dojin about your concerns when he's being the best husband ever?
Before: ditzy idiot who can barely take care of himself and doesn't care about others
Now:
- Okay with Dojin's family disliking him, but couldn't bear them disliking Byul because he wants Byul to grow up in a loving environment that he didn't get.
- Trying his hardest to study. The manhwa didn't show much of it and showed mostly him slacking but do you really think one can go from single digit to a barely passing grade in English (and all the other subjects) by slacking alone? (That's a 40+ point difference) Especially for someone who's dumb like him? He sure put in effort.
- Gave up on social gatherings to take care of Byul EVEN THOUGH he's a college student who's 19, new in school and needs friends + these social gatherings are starting points to making closer-knit groups
- Mature enough to prioritise Dojin's career over his own wellbeing/studies. Used to whine like mad about everything but doesnt squeak a peep when Dojin doesn't come home due to work three days straight even when he has his own omega needs. Still supportive of Dojin's career and listens to all his songs.
- Literally never took care of others and was never taken care of his whole life but making the decision to take responsibility for another life (Byul) that he didn't even want in the first place.

One of the few big areas he still has to grow in is literally just communication and parenting skills. He still sucks at both, but kindly don't discount the growth he has accumulated in the past 77 chapters please.
Okay, this is touching and all but I still don't like the fact that the seme just left the uke when all the uke did was love him. And how damaging it is for the uke to be replaced by a woman?? And then suddenly they made up. I just wanted to see the seme experience the pain he caused the uke. He was being so so selfish.
I agree with you to a certain extent. However, you need to keep in mind that Japan treats gay people vastly different compared to the west. You're not allowed to get married to someone of the same gender, things like that. Japanese people in general (and I think this is true for a lot of Asian countries) are pressured to get married and have children. This is what's expected of them. This is one of their many roles in society. Breaking free from that role takes a lot of courage and strength, so the fact that he was able to correct his wrongdoings is applaudable in itself.
