Acting cold for no reason is being an asshole though ahjuicy wasn't mistreating him and taking advantage of him...euijoon said he's all about self-respect and then said he didn't care that ahjuicy slept with someone before he came to him to have sex...isn't that a contradictory statement?
Also asking someone you had sex with so many times to be casual "hi hello" friends lol...so tactful... I'm glad ahjuicy cut through his "friendzoned" shit hahaha
I'm actually talking about the other guy that wanted to take advantege of his feelings bc he thought he was a softie and I really didn't find him as an asshole bc of that I DUNNO maybe is bc every mc that finds out the ml didn't do it, they blush as they misunderstood so euijoon being able to uhmm control his feelings is amazing so that's why I find him refreshing but that's just my opinion (￣∇￣") and I get why you find him as an asshole and all tho
And also, I don't know how your self-respect could be associated with how many people the other person slept with¿ they weren't a thing from the start and euijoon don't see ahjuicy as something else yet, ahjuicy was free to do whatever he wanted as euijoon was free to sleep with other people. Ahjuicy was the one that felt bad about the misunderstanding bc he started having feelings for him and didn't want to leave the impresion that he sleeps with other people bc that would be contradictory about him liking euijoon but like I said that's my interpratation of the actions of the characters. I really like comics bc you can interpret what's happening in different ways and you can chat about it (▰˘◡˘▰)
It's not how many you've slept with other people that's related to self-respect but that euijoon thinking it's not his business that ahjuicy had sex with someone else before coming to him and having sex as well. Having self-respect in that context would implicate euijoon refusing to be engaged with someone already fucking someone just before they come to him, I.e. the reason why he didn't go through with his crush who wanted to be with him and his girlfriend at the same time. Him saying he didn't care about him doing the same thing he hated about the crush was kinda hypocritical.
Also euijoon is acting like he didn't catch any feelings when he did - that's why he's ending the relationship because he was beginning to catch feeling and getting bothered when ahjuicy came to the shop with lipstick.
Unlike ahjuicy who is honest and straight forward and mature, euijoon is surprisingly childish, and kinda self-centred idk. I mean it's not like he didn't notice ahjuicy being so considerate of him, and he just went along with it for the sex? He is surprisingly daft but is pretending to be like he knows and understands it all. asking ahjuicy to be friends after doing all that with him...seriously; who would do that??? Compared to Ahjuicy, euijoon doesn't even come close. He should have a real character development, not a superficial hypocritical one. Right now,
He's the kind of person that says 'let's remain friends" after having sex casually and then are the ones who imitates sex again after they get drunk or get upset Ahjuicy was risking it all for him, and this guy wants to friendzone him. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
well I get what you are saying but I like the way I interpreted euijoon so I remain with my opinion for myself idk I don't think there's a specific way to see a character bc we mainly see their actions and don't go deep into the thoughts but I liked the chat thanks for making your point clear (●'◡'●)ﾉ
I actually find euijoon so refreshing like, I’m kinda tired of pasive bottoms that don’t defend themselves BUT HE’S A BADASS AND KNOWS WHEN TO FINISH SOMETHING IF IT GETS TOXIC i find that really atractive tbh i also love how he can control his emotions and makes it look like he’s cold I don’t usually find bottoms like that
