and it breaks my heart （/TДT)/
lmao u created a whole soap opera bro. thats not whats actually goign on in this story thankfully. as for taehwan's homophobia, i continue to not get the impression he even thinks he's gay? just that being called that brings up bad memories for him from elementary/middle school (not a spoiler, taehee talks abotu this in s1, tho i forgot which chpt it was after taehwan returns so post cpt 45). and his anger towards yeonwoo cant rly be summed up as purely "eww boy cooties" cause yeonwoo did it while taehwan was ASLEEP and clearly having a bad dream at the time. if yeonwoo confessed to tae's face and THEN tae went nuclear on him. that's homophobia. (rather than just gently turning him down) but we didnt get that. what yeonwoo did was assault. obv in a normal friendship taehwan would get mad and they'd talk it out but thats not what happened, we see mroe of taehwan's immediate reaction to the kiss in the next chpt which may make things clearer? basically his first reaction isnt the kind u'd get normally from a dude who just hates dat gay shit or w/e lol.
Ok so basically...
Taehwan has some REAL internalized homophobia, but it's really not as simple as that, he struggles with it towards HIMSELF. He literally hates the fact that he's gay/bi/has an attraction towards men(or just yeonwu), so he's projecting even though he's doing pretty well(meaning he doesn't hate other gay people or anything). He must be terrified of his attraction towards Yeonwu cuz hes just a scared little gay boi and i can kinda relate :(((( best case scenario, Yeonwu helps him to come out of this weird thing he's got going on in his head, and Taehwan reacts well to it and doesn't push him away... but of course that's not going to happen, he will continue to struggle with his internalized homophobia, while probably taking it out on Yeonwu by sexually and probably mentally abusing him, just to get the pleasure he really wants out of him, most likely torturing himself too.
