They do, and the story goes to some dark places in order to get there.
Omg thank you! Can you perhaps give some spoilers?
They actually did, and it was horrible
SPOILERS AHEAD:
So disclaimer, I read the novel MTLd, so I’m sure there are some things I missed or misread.
Basically the story hinted that Taekin is being bullied cus he’s gay, but that’s the least of his issues.
At some point we find out that the class monitor (the kid that got busted at the club) used ti be friendly with him, so after wondering what happened, Heechan (in Taekin’s body) just so happens to bump into class reps bro and he has a negative reaction to him.
In the end you find out that bro is a scumbag who raped one of Taekin’s friends and I think he also raped Taekin (again translation is a bit wonky). And Taekin had video footage. Oh and class rep was the one filming. And Taekin wasn’t trying to commit suicide. He saw the brother kidnapping his friend and he tried to go after him.
If I read right, legally nothing happened to him, but it seems like Minjae manipulated things so that his parents institutionalized him for life. So he did get his punishment.
And that was what finally woke Taekin up.
Oh man, thank you so much. Looks like I'm in for a long CRY this just sounds so sad.
I god, I’m debating on waiting for a bunch of chapters to come out now, so I don’t have to wait long from anxiousness after every chapter when this stuff happens—
Why do I keep reading angst and stuff like this, whrm I know my stomach can’t take it XD but the story and art is so good—
As funny as the story is, i hope they actually tackle the boy's issue i feel so bad for him
