I think that homophobia also plays a role in all the rage that Minwoo had after the kiss

This!! Minwoo definitely must’ve had some internalized homophobia for doing that. And the way he said “I made you feel how I felt” when he made that man kiss Skyler and made him think that was him was just downright disgusting. A simple drunken peck is nowhere compared to that. And how he also assaulted Skyler — no, GOT people to assault him for multiple days is just wow??? I’ve even seen people defend Minwoo saying how Skyler sexually assaulted him, but Skyler being drunk, sixteen, and giving him a simple peck on the lips does not deserve his feelings being played with and literally being beaten up to the pulp for doing that??

it's disgusting regardless the gender, now imagine having a friend as a guy, she's a girl but you view her as a little sister, or in general a sister.. you Don't like her romantically at all, and you and your friend are drunk but think of that kiss as something they wanted to do anyways, which makes you sick to your stomach you don't like her, you don't view her as anything other then a sister.. if that happened you would get an ick so quickly, but the bullying was unnecessary, also he give him a chance to prove it was a drunken mistake but he said he wanted to go out... also it should've been obvious it was a set up when this mf decided to put skylar on blindfolds, not victim blaming , skylar should've let go even if he felt like he could have another chance with someone that looked like him, anddd he was wrong as well, which is sad but great , although he should stop wearing those rose tinted glasses near his type, and should remember thatt not everyone is gay.. it's a bit sad how hard it is for gay people , who are surrounded by straight people. but well cirrus and skylar have something going on now? that's good for him. they have a bit similarities and it's nice ro see them getting along now

Oh it most certainly did. I believe his homophobic inclinations were always present but became more pronounced once he began associating with those older students who smoke.

I agree with your point, but I also empathize with those defending Minwoo. Sexual assault is unacceptable under any circumstances. Regardless of the circumstances such as age, gender, or mental state, actions without consent are never justified and should not be downplayed. While Minwoo had the right to feel disgusted when pecked while asleep, but his reaction was overly disproportionate. If we were to compare both of their actions in a scale, Minwoo's response would weigh heavily. Ideally, he could have distanced himself temporarily so Skylar could reflect on his behavior. However, this is just how I might have reacted in his situation. I cannot prescribe how individuals should respond to sexual assault, especially a 16-year-old going through a rebellious phase.

Additionally, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of his internalized homophobia. It appears that he always harbored such tendencies, as his ambiguous behaviors imply. However, the turning point might have been when he realized Skylar's divergence from his expectations while interacting with the older peers. The disapproving stares they directed at Skylar for hesitating to accept the cigarette could have triggered Minwoo's repulsion towards him. Associating with older individuals, especially at a young and impressionable age, often leads to negative outcomes. His sense of self may have been entirely distorted by his interaction with those seniors in question.

While you accurately capture Minwoo's revulsion towards Skylar's actions, you're demanding too much from a 16-year-old who is already dealing with numerous internal and external challenges. If the incident hadn't occurred on a school night but had unfolded over a weekend, Skylar might have had the chance to reflect on the consequences of his actions. Nevertheless, the fact that Minwoo, his closest friend, held such intense hatred towards him spoke volumes. If the issue hadn't surfaced due to the peck, it could have emerged later at a more critical juncture, potentially causing even greater harm to both of them. Therefore, in a sense, I'm relieved that it all transpired during middle school, a phase where life isn’t relatively serious.

As a 16yo, i believe age doesn't have anything to do with this

I guess it depends on how you live your life but from my personal experience, at 16 my life was super wild and was very similar to how Skylar’s a Minwoo’s. If not a lot wilder.

calm down! don't brag abt it :)

No, I definitely agree it’s wrong regardless the gender but to go as far as to assault skylar for multiple days because of it has had to have homophobia involved, or he has some serious anger issues, even to the point he sexually assaulted Skylar BACK (aka stripping him forcefully, yes that’s SA). No normal person would torment someone for multiple days a week because of that.

While I agree, people fail to realize Minwoo and the boys SA’D Skylar back when they decided it was a good idea to strip him off his clothes without his consent whatsoever. Yes, that’s SA even if there was no sexual intentions involved. I cannot emphasize with people who support Minwoo’s actions whatsoever. Yes, I can emphasize with Minwoo’s feeling of disgust because he did it without his consent, but defending his actions is a whole ‘nother level, going to the point to get multiple people to torment, and SA Skylar back is not okay whatsoever. Not saying you said it was, just to the people who do think it is

I just realized I said whatsoever like five times

Oh you definitely right

PLSSSS IT’S ALRIGHT

Re read S2 lol

And why should I ?

well yeah, I had some suspicion about Cirrus too, but now I feel like Cirrus truly likes Skylar and he has gone through enough sorrow! WDYM HE HAS TO GO THROUGH MORE??? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Seems like I was right and you’re the one that needs to reread s2

You were actually wrong lmao

How was I wrong when Cirrus did suffer a lot in s3 HELP, we’ve got a sore loser, it’s okay have a nice one

THIS. i got to the part where they were sharing their past and how they know each other, tell me why they started this type of relationship when woojin looked around elementary school age and haekyung looked around high school age….i literally could not continue because it felt icky

LITERALLY

Heyy super late reply but I just rechecked this work to see for an update and saw this...Even I thought woojin looked very young so I read it again and woojin is 3 years younger than Hakyung so when they first met Hakyung was around 10 and woojin around 7 and then when woojin saw the kiss scene he should def be in middle school somewhere...Their relationship started suuper young and even tho technically they were both children, even I was like ehhhh ummm in all the kiss scenes but definitely NOT elementary school lol no...atleast i hope my analysis aint wrong

*haekyung

ouhh okay i assumed woojin was an elementary schooler cause he looked so young still a bit icky though, i never would’ve had that type of relationship with someone three years younger than me in highschool like…an 8th grader and 11th grader? um, no…i’ll pass
