I get it. Mental illness is a really important issue, and a lot of the things Yul went through, such as with his family and in school were awful. BUT that absolutely does not somehow do away with all the shit he did to Sian. Since it seems like it might not be easy to remember so many things, I have decided to compile a list. This includes both creepy and fucked up behavior. In the case for creepy behavior, imagine a creepy, 50-year-old man was doing it to you.
1. Stalked Sian
2. Bought an apartment right next to her
3. Decorated his apartment full of pictures with her (all over the walls and ceiling)
4. Eavesdropped into Sian's phone convo with her mother
5. Wiretapped her apartment
6. Invaded her personal space
7. Attempted to gaslight Sian into not taking the part-time job
8. Purposely put her in a situation where she would be confronted by a rude, drunk man
9. Tried to manipulate her some more and she thought she hadn't passed the interview
10. Threatened Hyunee (Sian's friend) to stay away from Sian, probably attempting to cut her off from others so she'd be vulnerable
11. Kissed her multiple times without consent i.e. mouth, cheek, neck
12. Guilt-tripped Sian because she wouldn't go to the movies with him when she had to work
13. Blocked Sian's mom which led to the whole movie theater scene
15. Crossdressed and attended her school to get close to her (she had admitted the previous chapter that she was afraid of Yul to "Yuri")
16. Blackmailed Yujin into seducing and then dumping Sian
17. Attempted to stab his classmates (they kinda deserved it, but y'know murder is still very illegal and most people would just deck them)
18. Demanded she not look or talk to any men when they started dating
19. Told her to quit her job
20. Blocked and deleted Yujin's messages to Sian
21. the whole bed and masturbating scene in ch. 32
22. manipulated her into cutting off her friends when they dated as yul and Sian
23. Told her things guys would take about her in the locker room "allegedly" in order for her to change her pfp
24. Told a male classmate to basically pressure into sex
25. Deliberately provoked Sian's mother into attacking him
26. Said he could make some bruises on her to build a case for cps
27. Locked them both in a storage room all night so she wouldn't break up with him
28. Stopped her from yelling for help to Yujin
29. Stalked her all the way to Yujin's place
30. Trespassed into Yujin's place
31. Attacked Yujin
32. Tased Yujin
33. Slit his wrists to guilt-trip Sian into caring for him
34. Was fucking happy when he saw Sian's fear of men had gotten worse because of him
35. Attempted to kill himself when Sian was trying to cut him off
What I am basically trying to say, is that, yes, mental illness really fucking sucks, but a person's actions are still something they should be held accountable for.
Yul is probably doing better as a manual worker and I'm glad he is not looking to enter any types of relationships because I think it is highly likely he will return to how he was. I think this is the best ending he could've gotten personally.
Lol, I’m curious as to how long it took to write this. But I agree with everything you said!
What yul did was awful and I truly dislike him for that. Its doesn’t matter a 50 y/o or 20y/o did this. It’s still a crime and it’s so traumatising for the victim we can’t even understand how much frightened that victim would be. I never wanted him to end up with sian but if you say that he shouldn’t be in a relationship bc he’s gonna end up like that again then you are wrong. This just means he’s still mentally ill. That’s why there are psychiatrists so they can help those mentally ill people. Mental illness is not just being dumbfounded and not saying anything. The types of mental illness is far more than you and I know so if you really think he should keep on going on w/o loving anyone else then you’re practically implying that he can’t be cured. He should have proper counselling, he should go seek a psychiatrist. That’s the proper way. Plus he should never ever come close to sian. Sian had the power to ruin his life but she still forgave him so he shouldn’t be near her, never ever.
I see what you mean. Honestly I’m not educated when it comes to all the different types of mental illnesses that exist. That being said I still can’t picture yul with anyone else. It has nothing to do with his mental illness though! Just hear me out for a second, yul was so in love with Sian because of the fact that she never gave up on him. She was always there for him until the very end. Even when yul was getting physically bullied and all the other girls just turned a blind eye, Sian was still there for him. This is exactly why yul loved Sian so much. I really don’t think anyone else could replace Sian.
But here’s a cool though! What is yul met a girl while he was getting help from his mental illness. Someone who was there for him when he was really going through the worst of it. The story implies that he was alone as soon as Sian left him, but if there was someone else who saw how hurt and misunderstood he was, I think there could have been a possible romance out of that.
That could have made for a pretty good side story I think (▰˘◡˘▰)
I understand what you're trying to say and its correct. Maybe he will never love someone like he loved sian maybe he will keep on living like that but its not wrong. He can live like that but he has to live an honest life to atone for his sins. The story was amazing so ofc we all loved and thats what matter ^.^
Sorry, I probably should've explained it a bit better. It's not that I don't think Yul should never get into a relationship, but that he shouldn't be in a relationship at the point we leave of that. This is just my uninformed opinion, however, so I can't tell you when.
If Yul wants to be in a relationship, I think that's fine but I think it should be a bit more down the line since I don't think 8 years or so of stalking habits and obsession can be fixed in two years.
It actually did take me a really long time, granted I did skim it. But I accidentally got my comment wiped when I was first writing it so I had to start over ╥﹏╥
I gotta be honest the only people really like are Satan, (actual) Satan, and the club members. I get that Gabriel went through something awful, but he treated Satan like a toy and he called him recycled trash. Not even being an angel saves him from being scum apparently.
Anyway, God for sure is like a dick for doing and causing all this, but I'm also glad Satan is at least able to defend himself. Hopefully, God dies or something, rip his existence.
I was honestly enjoying it and everything, but I still feel like Hayato should have just gone with his mom in the end. I don't think the ring was reason enough to run into Ryu's arms after he cheated. Also the dad's scum.
Please do continue the translation. It may not be the most accurate but I still appreciate the fact that you do so for our enjoyment. I hope you'll continue to do so in the future and I am really thankful for the effort.
