Agreed. If he was to follow the original or something similar to the original course of the novel Sungwoo wrote, that would be too much. That's overkill for the punishment Dongha might deserve. It must be so difficult to constantly be living in fear as Dongha is and to have to try to sort out feelings for someone who is but isn't the boy you loved but ruined. What a whirlwind. Imagine how painful and confusing it will be to (most likely) fall in love with Yujin
I mean this was a bit uncomfortable to read because of the second hand embarrassment I got from Dongha constantly asking the fictional Sungwoo to get him out but I'm also not blaming him because him reacting that way and perceiving the situation the way he did is completely normal. It was just painful to see because it was somewhat obvious that he wasn't the same.
But yes what creeps me out is how seriously messed up the plot is... It's laughable if I imagine that some really bitter person wrote a fanfic to torment the person they hated or something. But it was someone he actually cherished and right, the same person completely destroyed his life but he also accepted it because he didn't spill the beans on Dongha in front of the whole class... Well, It was said the real Sungwoo got sent into a mental hospital. I mean alright, sure what happens to Dongha could also be seen as karma got him because as exposed he feels right now, that's what he did to the real Dongha as well. The real Sungwoo was really spitting facts about what person Dongha is just with a few sentences, too.
Else, I'm really worried what several men will be after Dongha at this point. I'm getting bad vibes from everyone, and also the butler. He took care of Dongha when he was kind of an infant? I could imagine that the butler probably liked Dongha's mother and because everyone around sees Dongha as the spitting image of her, the butler could get nasty, too if what I'm assuming right now ends up right...
The only thing I am. hoping for is that his childhood friend is genuinely thinking of him as a friend. He is the only Ok character to me.
Mmh, I don't think we'll be able to see the real Sungwoo (any soon) and Dongha probably gets together with the fictional one, and I don't know. It's still like the start and he got away from the first target that could have potentially harmed him, meaning the story is still long and a lot of chances for development in fictional Sungwoo. I personally don't want him to get together with anyone and just find a way to get out without having to suffer too much.
