Well, everything just happened at a wrong timing. They're on the first stage of their relationship so i get why Dongho is still insecure, He is on the process of dealing with his insecurities and gaining confidence about them and there's nothing weird about that since it hasn't been that long since they decided to date , even old couples have their own insecurities that's why reassuring your partner is important
Jaehwan start trying after their fight so yeah this "excuse" is still valid.
I mean sure. I don't mind Dongho reacting this way, like i said i mind how people twist this and paint jaehwan into this villain where it was just the author fabricating drama out of thin air by exaggerating stuff. sure jaehwan didn't have to say that one mildly annoyed sentence but it's far less """""evil"""" (for the lack of better word) than Dongho ditching him completely, not letting them talk it out, ignoring him all together and questioning his feelings for the nth time despite jaehwan proving himself times and times again. but somehow according to mangago jaehwan is this evil demon lol
I think calling it weird is wrong, They're still at the first stage of their relationship so i get why Dongho feels insecure and that's only natural and normal, specially since their relationship didn't start at a good standpoint. the conflict just happened at a wrong time where Dongho is at the process of dealing with his insecurities and gaining confidence. Even old couples have insecurities of their own despite the long run in their relationship. That's why it's important for each party to reassure each other in order to put the one they love at ease until they slowly build a strong foundation.
wtf how do I delete this- I thought my previous reply wasn't delivered
Couldn't agree more- I've been mad at this since the translation stopped and my piled frustration couldn't handle it anymore
I also saw people calling him a jerk and saying Dongho should go with this weird sunbae but as I said I think they both had their part in this. Like the author of the og comment is saying, they are at just the beginning of their relationship, I don't know if you ever had a relationship but not everything is easy at the start. Unconditional trust is great but it doesn't come just like that, everyone has insecurities. Dongho already knew that Jaehwan was not serious when they first met so of course he's gonna have trust issues .
I've been really mad about this for so long, everyone's acting like Jaehwan met with his crush with the purpose of indulging when it was clearly portrayed in his pov that he wanted to at least have closure and end things properly but made a mistake like a proper human being because his old crush fainted-
Everyone's like "omg leave jaehwan and get together with sunbae" when they barely know the guy and only saw his "nice side" which i personally find sus- they're so quick to jump to another guy when Jaehwan clearly is having a proper redemption. A part conflict in their story was Jaehwan being a Playboy- of course at the first of his story, he needed to act the playboy he is and eventually become madly in love with the uke BECAUSE THAT'S HIS FLAW AND THE POINT IS, IT WAS A REDEMPTION STORY FOR HIM. If people are going ti take away his flaw then what would be the thing that he have to change about himself ??
