You know I was JUST thinking that Yoon should be cut some slack--but after reading your argument i ended up agreeing with you. Yoon has some justification-- but only some. And the fact doesn't change that he pulled some douche moves.
I agree, and I can't even blame him for rejecting Joon when they were kids, he has every single right to do so, even now tbh, BUT the way he treated Joon is just so unfair and cruel, that's why he needs to learn his lesson in the hardest way possible. And thank you for sharing your thoughts and agreeing with me :")

I'm not trying to ignore the fact that Yoon is also currently suffering and is obviously trying to figure out his feelings and sexuality, I get it, I've been there and all. It's confusing because he's already nearing his 30s and he realizes he's not actually straight? That's a hard pill to swallow and he will obviously go through a denial stage before he can reach acceptance, if _ever_he decides to accept it though. However, let's not turn a blind eye on how he had led Joon on as well even though he claims he doesn't like him in that way. He knows Joon has a crush on him before and remembers him, and he enjoys seeing the look on Joon's face and his reactions whenever he admits that he wants to see him or enjoys hanging out with him, it's all misleading which led to Joon thinking Yoon must've liked him too. Also, the fact that Yoon avoided Joon and not talk it out with him after that night when they kissed? That's a douche move and nobody can convince me otherwise. If they haven't seen each other by accident and if Joon didn't insist in talking and clarifying things, will Yoon just ghost him? Most likely! These are the reasons why we all think he needs to work for it and suffer. Joon deserves someone who can accept who they are and their feelings, and not dilly dally and lead someone on, kiss him, and then possibly ghost them. I hope Yoonseul fully realizes and accepts who he is and what his feelings for Joon are before they meet again, and I hope Joon doesn't give in easily. He is hurt and obviously it shouldn't be easy to trust someone who broke your heart twice. Don't get me wrong, I still root for them and believe that The _THIRD_ ending is them being together, but I just hope it'll be dealt with realistically and that all confusions and problems are resolved, and a little bit of drama too, of course ;)
This is such a long rant thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
