I understand where you're coming from, but let me tell you a real story that I had to face a few years after high school. I was in college at the time. I had a friend a few years ago who's girlfriend was like Woojin. Whenever my friend was too busy to go with her, this girl would make her feel bad by saying "I've waited for the whole day" or "Why do you always do this?" Then one day after my friend told her girlfriend that she couldn't continue the relationship, this girl decided to act like a victim AGAIN. She started saying "I'm so sorry that I am such a bad person" and "When you feel better, we'll talk about this again" About a year later, they got together again because my friend believed that she had changed. So they dated but soon it became clear that she had changed for the worse. At the beginning, it was all sunshine and rainbows. They went on dates and my friend felt so happy. But her girlfriend still made her feel uneasy sometimes when she was busy. This same girlfriend became physically and verbally abusive within a few months of their dating. If my friend was hanging out with me and her girlfriend saw us. She would hit or scream at my friend as soon as they got home. It wasn't healthy. My point is that I understand that Woojin may not have been the worst character ever. But at one point he did try to rape Yunwoo. The author didn't put any warnings but that was CLEARLY rape. Yunwoo was telling him to stop, and Woojin forced him to strip and such him off. That is SO toxic. I really don't think that Yeonwoo should have given Woojin the third bullet at all. He was so brave in ending the relationship and I feel like all the readers took a breath of relief at that chapter so it was SO disappointing to see him go after him again. Woojin's affections were not love in my eyes. They were obsession. The reason he waited was because Yeonwoo had already proven that force no longer worked with him. Woojin would have waited years if Yeonwoo got over him. He would have stalked, and followed him and "waited". That is not ever healthy. That means that Yeonwoo would have had to deal with that and would have had a harder time living. When he tried to break up with Woojin, he just brushed it off as if Yeonwoo wasn't in his right mind. That is so unhealthy. I don't mean to burst your bubble, but it's so sad to me when people romanticize this. Woojin never showed growth. He only showed his obsession.
Umm.. I'm sorry that ur friend have to go through that?
But I'm talking about betrayal here, not about possessiveness...
And it's actually kinda useless to ted talk about possessiveness to me. Because that's exactly one of my kinks. Bruh, I'm just exactly and totally into that.
Possessiveness shows just how much I mean to my partner, that even the thought of sharing me with the world scares them. But I'm not cool with abuse tho, the moment my partner would start raising their hands on me or calling me names, that is the point of red flag for me. I would immediately fuck out of their life because It's clear that my value is less for them.
I made it clear to my partner, I want to be treasured, not to be hurt either in physically or verbally or even mentally. And they understood it. they talked about their preferences too, and so far I can handle them.
Communication is the key in relationship. If the relationship didn't work out, don't just blame one side, because both is at fault.
I honestly didn't believe that Woojin gonna change. I thought he was gonna be a rotten bastard through and through.
You know, there's a saying like "giving someone a second chance is like giving them an extra bullet because the first shot they fired missed you."
And it was true, Woojin wasted his second chance.
But for someone who claimed to have a low self-esteem, Yeonwoo was so brave to gave Woojin the third bullet, and Woojin swore he's not gonna pull the trigger this time. And he proved it with his action. He hold himself back and wait for Yeonwoo to come to him first just like what he promised.
TBH, I was sceptical at first about the plot line, but I came to really like it towards the end. Both characters developed so well in their own way and they seemed so adorable in my eyes.
